Black metal band from France. “Forever Gone” emerges as an invocation, a final breath drawn from beyond the veil. Each track lingers like mist over forgotten graves, steeped in longing, rich in desolation. Every note drips with the weight of absence, as if composed in the hush that follows a final farewell. In this album, the spectre of Celestia is not laid to rest; it is transfigured, echoing into the silence that follows all things.
Comes in a 180g galaxy vinyl format, which includes A5 booklet + A2 poster. Limited to 200 copies.
BEHEXEN should require no introduction. One of the longest-running Finnish black metal bands, BEHEXEN have patiently spread out their album releases in such a manner that each serves as a tome, a poignant snapshot of that era of its creators, with each being unique in its headspace but undeniably coming from the same visionary minds. But prior to essential early albums like 2000's Rituale Satanum and 2004's classic By the Blessing of Satan, BEHEXEN had recorded a trio of equally compelling demos - and even one prior, under the moniker Lords of the Left Hand, in 1995.

Originally released in various limited editions since early 2019, Burning Banners of the Funereal War began the saga that is WARMOON LORD. Arguably the best-kept secret of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground, the band is the sole work of one Lord Vrajitor, a prolific figure in the wider Finnish music underground, but also concurrently the mainman of Old Sorcery. But whereas that band largely/mostly works within the dungeon synth genre, WARMOON LORD is pure & proud black metal of a most fantastical nature - equally medieval, maybe even more so, but burning with icy-hot passion that so fired the second wave during the mythical 1990s.
