32 years after formation, Finnish iconoclasts ARCHGOAT stand monolithic as one of the most nightmarishly singular bands in extreme music. Helmed with preternatural telepathy by twin brothers Ritual Butcherer and Lord Angelslayer, newest emission "Worship the Eternal Darkness" is a typically depraved set built to mock our contemporary malaise. Continuing on from preceding album "The Luciferian Crown" the hoof-pressure is slightly alleviated from the throat, the band's patented synthesis of occult Finnish Black/Death Metal, harsh Punk, primal Thrash and Grindcore is tempered here with elements of melodic dynamism: a rhythmic crush less unrelenting, horrorshow vocals slightly more intelligible, a production shorn of murk highlighting potent synth-sorcery and welcome NWOBHM influences, not least guitar solos of old-school finesse. Recorded over 2 days in foulest 2021 and clad-as-ever in immortal Chris Moyen artwork, "Worship the Eternal Darkness" has all the thematic unity, arcane knowledge, otherworldly class and divine filth expected from a legendary band stoking underground hellfires which burn stronger than ever.
To mark this momentous occasion, a limited edition of the album will be released with a wooden tea-light holder. Mourn the heroic dead and light their way to the beyond with MAVORIM's Non Omnis Moriar!
Grabgesang was founded in 1991 in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia by Asvaaraz and Isegrimm. Their two demos ’Of Medieval Graveyard Frost’ (1995) and ’Blutrausch’ (1997) containing pure raw, cold and grim german black metal.
The Dragging Poison is not an attempt at innovation—it is a statement of devotion. A poisoned chalice offered to those who still revere the cold, untamed essence of Black Metal as it once was: uncompromising, ritualistic, and unburdened by modernity.
Shroud of Satan's 2013 debut EP is made available again on vinyl. More than 10 years ago this 4-track-ep has immediately put the band on the map as yet another powerful dark force from our local scene. No-nonsense Black Metal war that draws heavy inspiration from various extremists of the Finnish Underground. On this re-release the EP's 20 minutes of pure satanic black art are enriched by rare and unreleased bonus songs.
It was but 2020 when GRIEVE emerged from the darkness with their self-titled debut EP. Although otherwise meant to exist strictly in that darkness, it was soon discerned that the band included veritable Finnish black metal royalty within its ranks. Nevertheless, the swiftly uncompromising nature of Grieve was felt: Northern Black Metal Exclusively From the 1990s. No more, no less, no progression, no fun.
