Mit dem Album „König von Thule“ erschafft Traktates ein finsteres, kompromissloses Black-Metal-Werk, dass rohe musikalische Gewalt miteinander vereint. Das Album durchzieht eine Atmosphäre von Verfall, Treue, Tod und unausweichlicher Vergänglichkeit.
Eiskalte Gitarren, rasende wie auch getragen-ritualhafte Passagen und markanter Gesang formen eine dichte, bedrückende Klanglandschaft. Traktates verbindet klassischen, nordisch geprägten Black Metal mit einer klaren, deutschsprachigen Lyrik und verleiht dem Album dadurch eine besonders düstere, fast sakrale Aura. „König von Thule“ steht für Ernsthaftigkeit, Tiefe und Authentizität – fernab kurzlebiger Trends. Deutscher Black Metal Siegel!!!

Since their ...gedenken wir der Finsternis debut album in 2020, EISENKULT have quickly become a flagship band for PURITY THROUGH FIRE, which is perhaps unsurprising given that they include members of labelmates MAVORIM and TOTENWACHE.
After over 20 years, we are proud to offer a dark jewel from the Werewolf records vault: The unreleased, and at the time harshly refused and then abandoned original recording of the first Goatmoon album.
French black metal pioneers SETH have once again lit the flame of the early days with ‘La Morsure du Christ', which can be seen as a sequel to their 1998 acclaimed debut ‘Les blessures de l'âme'.
Formed in that cursed year of 2020, SCHREIGARM are a unique entry into the oft-overlooked but always-vital Teutonic black metal scene: though based in Germany, both members are actually Ukrainian. Such a mixture surely results in a sound that mixes both the austere melodicism of the nowadays Teutonic school and the stargazing mysticism endemic of the Ukrainian form throughout the years. And if 2023's The Mysteries of Fate debut was unjustly underappreciated, then SCHREIGARM's subsequent Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign should doubtlessly right this injustice.
