Immortal's fourth winter opus, Blizzard Beasts, introduced a new sound, and new drummer, to the band. The album continues the legacy of the band's freezing cold sound and snow-covered lyrics, but with a new style of production that was unheard of in the earlier work. Blizzard Beasts features a heavier, fuller, and more frigid sound than its predecessors, brought in part by drummer Horgh's contribution. The endless blast beats and ripping guitar chords are nothing new for Immortal, but they have never sounded quite as intense and harsh as they do on Blizzard Beasts. Here it is from start to finish, in all its grimness and horror.

If there's one certainty in these uncertain times, it's that PURITY THROUGH FIRE will continue to raise the banner of nowadays German black metal: proud and pure in its expression, honoring the past whilst not being shackled to it, and evincing a professionalism that doesn't sacrifice true underground spirit. Their latest executioners are AD MORTEM, who'll be familiar to those who caught their PURITY THROUGH FIRE-released split with standard-bearers MAVORIM in that very uncertain year of 2020. While their split-mates are true titans of today's Teutonic black metal scene, AD MORTEM proved to be a poignant counterpart, evincing an undeniable physicality that remained hook-heavy and hummable.

Widely considered one of the first "war metal" albums - if not THE first, actually - BESTIAL WARLUST's debut was a shockingly violent and utterly barbaric slab of black metal that literally had no peer upon its release in 1994.
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!
