Grisatre - L'idee De Dieu
The long awaited full length album from the French
act Grisâtre is finally released. After two acclaimed
split albums, “L’idée De Dieu” delivers six
unreleased tracks of pure, bleak Black Metal.
The first release in over a year from veteran Experimental Black Metal project from Los Angeles. This release sees 'Echoes of Silence' continuing their evolution forward towards a thicker, darker, and more professional sound! All snyth guitars and other instrumentation yet still easily trance-inducing and headbanging material. This release has a total of 15 tracks and over an hour of music!
Happy Days from the US and Eindig from The Netherlands join forces to cross the line between life and death and lead you into eternal darkness…
Epic, progressive Black Metal by Eldrig van See, of the magnificent Fanisk. One can hear Fanisk's distorted, yet atmospheric guitar-work on this trance-inducing Blackened opus, though themes vary slightly in relation to the solar, hermetic sensibilities of the former. Eldrig is also guitar-driven where Fanisk emphasizes the orchestral synths. This album comes with a textured booklet and disc pressed onto red polycarbonate!

Everlasting War Divinity LP
Killer vinyl version of this modern orchestral Black Metal masterpiece.
$14 US/Canada $23 World
Brutal yet, at times, melodic US Death Metal that seems to be going for a European sound. Featuring a member of Lividity & includes a Slayer cover (Necrophiliac).
Empty - The House Of Funerary Hymns
The latest in a line of very solid releases of dark Black Metal designed to
pay homage to the darkness itself. The macabre old-fashioned cover by
Chris Moyen puts the final nail in the putrescent coffin of emptiness.
Enchanted, The - For Those Who
Fall
High quality Viking Blackened Death similar to Amon Amarth in style. Highly
recommended for all fans of extreme metal!
Traditional mid-tempo Black Metal, raw like a rope that will be around your neck and sharp like a knife that will open your old wounds again! Very similar to the first works of SATYRICON ! A must !
Nine tracks from the earlier days of this band. Unreleased versions, rehearsals and live tracks.
the true Endless - Buried by Time and Dust
Brand-new true Endless release featuring their first demo/EP "The Trendkiller" and a live set from 2001.
Enecare - Dawn of Creations Ruin
Epic and elitist Black Metal from France. The new band of Hunferd (O.T.A.L.) and Xaphan (Seigneur Voland, K-Nacht, Finis Gloria Dei).
Engorge - Cold.Black.Ejaculation
Filthy Christ-raping necroblackdeath. The artwork alone makes this one worth
owning.
An entity of pure, festering black metal rage, Enoid's music cripples all but the strongest of listeners with its inexorable brutality. There's no melody or neutrality to be found here; only a ferocious assault upon the human race.
Perhaps some of the most melancholy and off the wall black metal we've heard around here in a while. If early Manes or Emperor had Xasthur as an influence back in the mid 90's Ensepulchred would likely be the outcome.
Ensepulchred - Suicide In
Winter's Moonlight
Originally released in an extremely limited run of
hand numbered cdrs in slim line dvd cases in 2006. This final and definitive
version also includes a completely re-designed layout with a few newly
recorded tracks not on the original version. "Suicide In Winter's Moonlight"
is 16 miserable tracks of lugubrious, woebegone black fire.
Continuing on the progressive path of exploring and expanding the boundaries of metal, Enslaved have created another excellent album. Dark, epic, progressive, and downright brilliant.
Spitting blackness deserving of the group’s moniker, Epoch Of Unlight undertake an evil trip through astral planes with ‘The Continuum Hypothesis. This album is an abrasive crush of blackness throughout each of its eleven tracks.
Everblasting Struggle is the debut album from one of the earliest Portuguese Blackened Death Metal bands. Their music brings memories of the early Scandinavian essence that will provide the listener with an intense trip through the ten tracks and all their darkest Norse, Egyptian and classical Greek mythology.
The first full length, unpolished and bleak Black Metal.
Third album. This time ETHEREAL WOODS return with an even heavier sound (now touching Death Metal), retaining their Doomy and melancholic sound while infusing a dose of fantasy into their unique Elizabethan theme.
Some of the very best real thrash around these days! Not to be lumped in with the latest craze of crappy thrash polluting the underground. Features 13 tracks of demonic driven speed metal with a raw hardcore attitude. For fans of old SLAYER, D.R.I., old METALLICA ("Kill 'Em All" era).
Unreleased demo material from occult apocalyptic speed / thrash metal band. Featuring guest vocals from Paul C. of Thus Defiled.
Rising from the ancient lands of Hellas, EXETHERIS unleashes their latest Satanic hymnary. These brutal and blasphemous anthems of hate will open a new front in the war against the jesus worshippers."
Exiled From Light has quickly become one of the biggest names in the Depressive Black Metal scene. There is no beauty left here... picks up where the debut album left off and takes the musicianship and atmosphere to a whole new level while incorporating new ideas and deeper emotions into the spectrum. Not to be missed!!
$10 US/Canada $13 World
Eight tracks of unrestrained, discordant, obscure, and sometimes improvised Black Metal. A thick, heavy production creates a strong atmosphere that clings to every facet, drawing it down.
The latest release from the stalwarts of the Chicago Black Metal scene!
Not much needs to be said about the respected US horde. 2008 release of scorching Black Metal.
Blasting Black Metal from the USBM veterans.
Sacrilegious Death Metal from this U.S. band, splitting membership between Illinois and Georgia. Inspired by Incantation, Immolation and Morbid Angel, Father Befouled carries on the darkest works of those bands while bearing a monolithic sound all their own.
Fimbul formed in Norway during the winter of 1994. Ramn, who was previously in the band Eclipse, wanted to make a project that was more to his own style, playing all instruments by himself. Fimbul released two demos in 1995, "Vinterland" and "Det Siste Slaget", which can be described as Grim, Atmospheric Dark Metal Symphonies. Twelve years later "Vinterland", and "Det Siste Slaget" have been combined as a compilation CD, called "Ramnens Ferd", the first time this material was available on CD format.
The Swedish band FIMBULTYR deliver a solid debut album of Viking-inspired Black Metal. Melodic but heavy and infused with folk elements to show the bands unique style. Highly recommended for fans of WINDIR, MOONSORROW, BATHORY, and ENSLAVED!
With renewed vigor and a fiery new front man, Finntroll crawl back with their new album. The Finnish sextet is proud to bring you another fine example of their Blackened pagan folk metal. The effort is drenched in atmosphere and metal mayhem amidst the pull and sway of pagan polka.
Atmospheric, yet raw US Black Metal with sweeping Ambient passages.
Latest release from these insane grindcore bastards from Canada! A must for fans of Dahmer, ThinkShit, Warsore, Nasum, etc!
Straight-forward underground Black Metal. A worthy successor to their previous effort.
Heavy-hitting Belgian Death Metal.
Force Fed Flesh - The Human Virus
Combining countless elements within the extreme metal genre, Force Fed
Flesh are following in the footsteps of pioneering death metal acts such as
Suffocation and Death, while also injecting more modern arrangements to
create a release that sets itself apart.
Winter-Holocaust Black Metal. Members of ERESHKIGAL and MOONLIGHT.
Forest of Impaled take back the throne! Dedicated, skillful and bloody, the level of Black / Death energy is at an all time high. Rise and Conquer is a hateful storm of massive metallic destruction beyond all enemies. This is the call to war!
The first release of more Satyricon, Emperor influenced Black Metal/Death Metal hell!
Forgot - Burning Down
Pure fucking Black Metal... Far East Division Black Wolves! No thanks, no hails, nothing else. One of the oldest Russian Black Metal formations but very different from the current paganism and patriotic scene in their territory!
High quality, raw German Black Metal seething with misanthropy.
Fornicatus' debut album Omnium Animalis Terminus is a dark and depressing output that will satisfy fans of the genre.
Two tracks of raw, depressive Black Metal. Released by Self Mutilation Services.
$7 US/Canada $11 World
Forteresse goes more epic than ever with a new album centered on Québec's glorious winters, seen through a historical perspective. Icy cold sound and guitar leads, a raw and ambient production that evokes the flurries of a nighttime snowstorm, and classic poems from Québec's own legends Émille Nelligan and Albert Lozeau compliment this enthralling and gripping Black Metal piece.
Foscor return with ten monumental songs for their third studio album of depressive, deep and immense Black Metal. A cruel fall into the emotional side of music. For fans of bands from Shining to Emperor.
FOSCOR perform amazing Black Metal in the Northern tradition which will appeal to fans of EMPEROR, ENSLAVED, KEEP OF KALESSIN or CODE. Expect Black Metal of the highest calibre.
Blackened Death with touches of progressive aggression thrown in.
A collection of rare and hard to find tracks culled from limited edition mCD's and ep's including the "Life is Fading Away..." mCD from '04, "Revenge in Scorn" ep from '00, "Supreme Triumph in Black" mCD from '99 as well as a Tiamat cover (Cold Seed), a Cathedral cover (Imprisoned in Flesh) and four previously unreleased live tracks recorded in Verona, Italy in '08. The CD is presented in a DVD case with artwork that has been designed to resemble a weathered old book and also comes with a two sided insert with info on all 16 tracks and a sticker, making this a definite must have for all diehard Frostmoon Eclipse fans. All limited to 500 copies.
Funeral Forest - Hateful Visions
Raw, hateful anti-modern Black Metal from France.
Japanese Black / Death originally released in 2000.
Creepy crawling atmospheres with unsettling whispery vocals, moaning tortured women, funeral keyboards, and hallucinogenic ambience, alternating with mid-paced blasting BM intensity.
Black Metal with gothic and ambient elements. Totally cult stuff from the Mexican underground.
Heavy, psychedelic, instrumental rock music. Recorded in the summer of 2006, this gem sat dormant for some time before it was released, though it briefly attracted the attention of Battle Kommand Records. Strong guitar playing with big chords and memorable melodies is paired with a backbone of sweetly technical drumming, with a delicate layer of cinematic ambience over the top. The whole album has a strong sense of dynamics, having an almost classical feel to it. Compared to bands such as Isis, Boris, Pelican, Tool, and even Pink Floyd; Gathiens possess a delicacy and intricacy that many post-metal bands lack.
This album is more straight-forward Black Metal than their first full-length, but it nonetheless retains the folkish melodies and atmosphere, complete with delicate acoustic passages, occasional female vocals, Celtic tin whistles/flutes (used sparingly) and subtle, not at all overbearing keyboard flourishes (also used sparingly). Above all, however, this is just a very, very enjoyable, well-written album of pagan black metal. Recommended, especially for fans of their previous works, and for fans of bands such as Satanic Warmaster, Goatmoon, and even Grand Belial's Key and Akitsa.
Geimhre's half of this essential split-CD features a full-length album's worth of elite Nordic Black Metal orthodoxy, so Shade's blistering high-caliber tracks [reissued from their hard-to-find "Isa" mCD] can be considered a bonus for diehard collectors of Canada's Black Metal Underground!
Destructive and chaotic, malevolent and hateful. This is a lovely slab of fairly raw, sometimes sloppy, always corrosive French Black Metal.
Giamon has crawled from the obscurity of rural France to bring you an album filled with haunting, aching riffs and an almost tribal approach to Black Metal. Each track is laden with deliberate, supine guitar melodies and spectral, grating vocals. Giamon strays from use of keyboards and synths in favor of nebulous guitars, creeping bass and purposeful, unadorned drumming.
Picking up where 2008's An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. On Dread, we're feeling an even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum (which is still the closest reference point to Gnaw Their Tongue's black chaos) and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atmosphere.
This indefinable mass of black amorphic horror is one of the most intense listens we've engaged in recently, a nihilistic pit of howling orchestral strings and blackened abstract doom, operatic female voices plunging into a fetid sewer of filth and blackness, equal parts avant Black Metal and splattered sludge and symphonic horror movie score.
New full length 2009 release, containing two out of print EPs and 3 brand new tracks. Truly sanity-splitting & soul-erasing nightmare sludge / symphonic black metal-cacophony. The evilest sounding band in the history of music. A one-man act from the Netherlands. Words can't give justice to the frightening power of this music. More apocalyptic than apocalypse itself. You've been warned... This 'audiophile quality' CD comes in a satanically elegant 6-panel eco-wallet and includes a GNAW THEIR TONGUES sticker.
Thrashy melodic, non-trendy Black Metal with a cultish and sparse atmosphere (similar to OPERA IX) from the Mediterranean isle of Cyprus.
Imagine if ARVO PART were to arrange and conduct a performance by CORRUPTED and you will only begin to scratch the surface of these deep and mysterious sonorities. For fans of WOLFMANGLER, vidnaObmana, LYCIA, BORIS, JESU, ROBERT RICH, DEAD RAVEN CHOIR and TOBY DRIVER
Old-School Death Metal From Hell... Features the legendary Jeff Gruslin on vocals and Paul Flynn on guitar, who were both original VITAL REMAINS founding members and were on all the early material up to the 1st 2 full length CDs on Osmose. Also in the band are Mike McPherson the drummer from LEUKORRHEA, Justin Flynn on bass from AMPUTATOR and Mike Lecam on 2nd guitar, ex-RITUAL SACRIFICE.
Twisted blood-curdling Death!!! Gorelord maims and mauls with a savage attack that will leave you crushed! Blending the dirt-encrusted guitar tones of the early Gothenburg sound with a rabid horror-metal unfit for the meek. Features Frediablo from NecrophAgia.
A down-tuned sludgehammer from the Czech Repulic.
Second full length album from Australia's bastard sons of Black/Thrash! Moving forward in style but retaining that the feel of "Eve of the Conqueror", this is a blow to the face. True Aussie Black / Death back with a vengeance!
Symphonic Black Metal band blending elements from the best albums of DIMMU BORGIR, EMPEROR, SATYRICON, IMMORTAL.
Gräuen Pestanz is an occult entity which serves to provide the listener or active magickian a sigil whereby to consummate the desires of the left hand path or wamphyric awakening. The widdershins path of the crossroads, sorcery and nightside atavisms are revealed within each hymn towards completion of the isolate into immortal godhood. The perfection of Will; gestated in the womb of the earth is the key to the sustenance of our very being.
Miasma exists as an aural weapon of spiritual terrorism, and satanic death propaganda. The blade of Satan is the wrath of Chaos. Miasma is that blade. This art is a total devotion and worship to Darkness. This is satanic music made for Satanists.
The second album of high-quality Norwegian Black Metal from Gravdal. A solid release that won't disappoint those who long for the days of early Gorgoroth and Carpathian Forest releases. Featuring two members of Aeternus and Kvarforth (Shining) handling vocals on one track.
Gravehills full-length debut Rites Of The Pentagram is the auditory hymnal to what s been missing in Death Metal for far too long. Imagine If Chris Riefert, Tom Angelripper, Chuck Schuldiner, Kerry King, and Martin Ain decided to make a record together in 88 , it would be this album.
Old school crushing Death Metal in the vein of Asphyx, Entombed, Carnage, Abhorrence...
Ancient Metal of Death! Worship & die!!!
Another high-caliber release of old-school Death Metal. Definitely recommended for fans of ass-kicking Death!
A massive exhortation of lumbering metallic sludge rock, freely improvised amplifier noise and crushing riff splatter, and massive, sky-streaking psychedelic corrosion.
The lament of Grim Funeral has been unearthed. After two successful split albums and a long period of silence THR proudly presents this over an hour long debut album. An embrace of desolation engulfs the last dying breath of mankind. There are many contenders to the throne, but none that has made such a clear mark with his own sound and distinctive personality. The foremost Funeral Black Metal album that has been spat up on this foul earth. Hang your head low and let death speak for itself. The sermon has begun.
Gromm - Sacrilegium
Well-executed, misanthropic Black Metal from Ukraine.
Presented in a digi-sleeve, limited to 1000 pieces only.
The Long Awaited New Album from the Sleazy Pimp Godfathers of Goregrind In Spermany.....
