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.

In a long overdue return, Portugal's The Ominous Circle rise again from the mist with their sophomore album "Cloven Tongues of Fire", a deeper descent into the great, endless chasms. A maelstrom of fire and relentless chaos that defies everything in this age of empty standards and sterile paradigms, the new full-length effort represents their darkest, most intense and uncompromising manifest to date, both a witness to the wickedness of iniquity and a tribute to the arts of the extreme.
From an era when different winds blew… The 1993 demo presented with original low-quality cover art and including a 1994 rehearsal track of “Heart Of The Ages” as bonus.
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.
