Ash Magick - Rituals of Anathematic East

"Hailing from the depths of Istanbul’s ancient shadows, ASH MAGICK is a raw and unfiltered black metal project founded in 2022 by Necrosanctus and Graveyard Slut. Born from firsthand occult experience, the band channels themes of spiritual decay, cursed devotion, and forbidden knowledge into ritualistic sonic expressions. Drawing on Eastern mysticism, ancestral lore, and demonic narratives, Ash Magick conjures haunting atmospheres steeped in esotericism and ancient rites — black metal in its most feral, feminine, and arcane form. Ash Magick are returning with their most spiritually charged and meticulously crafted work to date - Rituals of Anathematic East — which will be released on August 29th via Apocalyptic Witchcraft. This third offering is inspired by a pilgrimage to Mardin, a region steeped in ancient Mesopotamian sorcery and Syriac mysticism. Each track is a standalone rite — a ceremonial gateway into tales of ancestral curses, forgotten invocations, and the veiled magic of the East."

Häxenzijrkell - Portal

AMOR FATI PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HÄXENZIJRKELL's highly anticipated third album, Portal, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Ever since the release of their first demo tape back in 2016, HÄXENZIJRKELL marched on their very own path towards the bottomless pit of darkness. However, it was the band's two albums for AMOR FATI - 2020's Die Nachtseite and 2022's Urgrund - where that bottomless pit dropped out completely. What opened up was a maw both majestic and horrific, ritualistic and ceremonial but by no means sound without purpose and intent. That each of those two albums were divided into three epic tracks was perhaps not coincidence; that one album was suffocating and the other more spacious was definitely not coincidence. From resolutely raw black metal in the beginning to something idiosyncratic and strangely spectral despite the obvious heft, HÄXENZIJRKELL were skillfully creating their own soundworld with few present analogues. And so it goes with the aptly titled Portal, where HÄXENZIJRKELL bring past, present, and future into startling (dis)harmony. The album begins attackingly enough, a metronomic pendulum pulsing beyond control, riffs slicing and spiraling in an infinite vortex. But now expanded to five tracks across 44 minutes, HÄXENZIJRKELL's third album reveals yet more depth - in all senses of the word - and becomes the fullest manifestation of their still-expanding lexicon. The watchword here is patience, as these five non-less-epic tracks are never in any hurry to reveal their true selves; tension and terror build s-l-o-w-l-y, even if the overall tempo is decidedly more energetic than past works, or at least more measured and insistent. Here expanded to a trio, HÄXENZIJRKELL have also found a symbiosis between atmosphere and songcraft; even when riff and rhythm drop away and there's (tense / terrifying) quietude lingering like a spectre, the usage feels dramatic and effortlessly transitional, marking a moment that's integral to the flow of each mesmerizing movement. That that expanded lineup expertly uses both molten heaviness and shimmering ambience equally well should speak volumes about the band's growth on Portal. All this culminates in the grandiose and hauntingly gorgeous closer, "Aeon," which sounds like a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse - simultaneously. The keys are thus laid at the listener's feet...do what thou wilt.

Vafurlogi - Í vökulli áþján

On September 13th internationally, the alliance of NoEvDia and Oration Records is proud to present Vafurlogi's striking debut album, Í vökulli áþján. Vafurlogi is rooted both spiritually and literally in the early 2000s black metal movement, as the earliest songs were written nearly 20 years ago. Like the stalwarts of that era, Vafurlogi draws inspiration not only from the staunch traditionalism of the '90s but also from its rebellious spirit of discovery and creation. Fronted by guitarist Þórir Garðarsson of Sinmara and Svartidauði, who now also takes on vocal and bass duties, Vafurlogi presents a new chapter for him as a songwriter. Throughout years of activity with his other bands, the essence of Vafurlogi slowly cultivated in parallel below the surface. Initially a vessel for accumulated works not suitable for Svartidauði or Sinmara, Vafurlogi developed into an avenue for him to freely explore different creative ideas and moods. While touching on the apocalyptic, nightmarish realms of Svartidauði and the haunting atmospherics of Sinmara, Vafurlogi places greater emphasis on triumphant and unabashedly melodic flourishes through a comparatively stripped-down compositional approach.

Katharsis, Darkthrone, Damaar são referencias...o resto está em baixo!

Mórnu - The Unearthly Becomes Inherent

"An occult EP that blends black metal with death-doom metal. The first chapter deals with the disciple's ordeals on his path of transformation to awaken the Dark Divinity. The EP ends with an act of Theophaneia and the disciple's ascension beyond the veil of structured cosmos."

Altari - Kr​ö​flueldar

Intenso!! É minimo que se pode dizer deste album dos islandeses Altari e uma clara prova que afinal ainda existe algo vivo e explosivo debaixo daquelas rochas vulcanicas. Por falar em vulcanologia o titulo do album remete para isso mesmo já que o nome retrata varios fenomenos ocorridos em 1975 onde varios vulcões islandeses entraram em errupção.. Musicalmente o som da banda é uma "amalgama de criações" onde o lado mais furioso (e o seu pilar base) da musica extrema se vai fundido com outras tendencias menos obvias originado uma sonoridade quase impossivel de descrever um pouco ao jeito daquilo que uma editora como a Svart por vezes atira cá para fora, mas as influências são tão dispares que começam em Ascension e vão até Sinmara e pisam varias vezes os ambientes de The Killing Joke, Deathspell Omega, Virus, Lurker Of Chalice, This Mortal Coil ou até uns Sonic Youth! Na minha opinião um dos grandes albuns deste inicio de ano!

Misþyrming - Með hamri

Se DsO tivesse optado para uma sonoridade mais extrema, não tão matemática e colidisse com Funeral Mist soaria assim! Basicamente são estas pequenas coisas que ainda fazem ferver o sangue quando se ouve música ou melhor se procura música que dê um passo em frente! Não sei como seguirá, mas este album para já igualou o Flesh Cathedral e o Aphotic Womb na lista de preferidos da "cena" islandesa…depois de dois álbuns "bons" a velha teoria do terceiro album veio dissipar as dúvidas todas! É um daqueles trabalhos que roçam a perfeição em todos os sentidos! Altamente recomendável!!!

Teitanblood - Purging Tongues - Demon 1990

Versão alternativa e extra contida na nova edição do ep. Mais crua, mais extrema, mais primitiva, ligeiramente mais longa, instrumental.....e sem a voz do NSK ou do declamador espanhol a dar o toque apocalíptico que torna a música um autêntico hino demoniaco! No entanto esta nova versão mantem o mesmo estado agoniante e desolador e se a versão original era algo visto pelos olhos do homem esta será a visão do Diabo perante....o final!

Oppressive Descent - Spite Is My Scepter, Blood Is My Crown

Hipnótico, insano, ambiental e demoniaco..isto é a melhor forma de descrever este trabalho de Oppressive Descent! "Emerging from the un-silent crypt, after over a year of strife and plague, Oppressive Descent unleashes the new full length LP, “Spite Is My Scepter, Blood Is My Crown”. Eight new hymns of grim hostility, longing for the cold reaches of eternity and the grisly battles of the past. This new offering encapsulates all the hallmarks of previous Oppressive Descent releases, while building on the grandeur and desolation that Grond Nefarious has invoked through the years. There is no reprieve from the chilling contempt contained within these sonic chambers, yet one will ultimately find the true catharsis in the exaltation of death which is thus brought forth. Desperate, yet triumphant are these chants of the night. Freezing and forlorn, as they herald the winds of war."

Sanctuarium / Magick Howl / Calderum

Death Mace Records feels excited to announce a new reference to its catalogue. MACE005 is a 12" split LP with 2 new entities rising from the deepest of the Spanish underground. SANCTUARIUM brings us total foul & putrid Death Metal from the catacombs of Barcelona. Having released this amazing great recording as a the "Cadaveric Reminiscense" debut demo in late 2021, we felt it really deserved to be published in vinyl format for the delight of the demoralised ones. MAGICK HOWL appears as a mysterious entity from the depths of the heinous Abyss with his debut recording "Svlphvrnavt". Over twenty minutes of frowsty and dense Death / Doom Metal full of unhealthy and grisly melodies, sinking the listener into a no-return experience. While both bands intruduce unique suggestions to the scene, links as both being one-man bands or the thick and discouraged sounds they offer, makes this split release something outstanding and uncommon in these days of imposed morality and senseless progress. This split 12" LP has been released in a limited edition of two hundred copies on 2022 June 1st. Santuarium, primeiro album em breve na BlackSeed Prod e ouçam Calderum (baixo) outro projeto do musico por detrás de Sanctuarium.. "Mistycal fortress of iberian lands, is the second LP from calderum with 6 songs of pure fantasy and evil black metral and the beauty of the dungeon synth passages, the tape and cd version will be added soon, with a couple of bonus tracks."

In Twilight's Embrace - Lifeblood

The sixth full-length album of In Twilight’s Embrace. 47 minutes of restless, haunting and unorthodox Morbid Rock. Profane and profound at the same time, “Lifeblood” is the band’s own ceremony of opposites. With equal reverence to the ways of Black Metal of Death from up North, and catchy rock of the decades gone past, but never losing the adventurous nerve, the album shines as their most deliberate statement.

Ars Hmu - Empire of Impurity

Segundo album para o projeto que junta musicos de Gardsghastr, Chaos Moon, Musmahhu, Greve, Bekëth Nexëhmü ,o que por si só já demonstra o que se pode esperar. Musicalmente dentro daquilo que a Ancient tem vindo a mostrar nos ultimos anos e com pilares bem vincados na sonoridade nordica da segunda metade dos anos 90 este Empire of Impurity segue ou mantem a linha mestra daquilo que o projeto mostrou no anterior The Dawn of Black Pansophy elevando um pouco mais a atmosfera criativa. Extremo, noturno e com um sentido melodico que nos envolve e quase hipnotiza este album é mais uma obra prima que certamente não deve passar despercebida a quem procura algo mais que violência sonora!

Hexerei - Ancient Evil Spirits

Na verdade este album saiu em 2021 mas apenas em formato digital.. Sendo assim nada melhor que uma das editoras mais atentas ao que de mais interessante se vai fazendo dentro das sonoridades mais extremas lançar o laço para apanhar esta besta finlandesa, neste caso a Sentient Ruin Laboratories. Dito isto o que resta acrescentar é que este album é uma veneração quase total de Katharsis!! Acho que deve chegar para lançar um sorriso malicioso, certo? Aqui:

Gryftigæn - Fehunðyrdauðr

Isto só vai sair em Março do próximo ano em edição fisica..no entanto este projeto de nome impronunciável vindo do Chile é capaz de ser uma das coisas mais interessantes que ouvi nos ultimos anos dentro do BM mais fiel à tradição nórdica no que à mistura do ambiente mais primitivo diz respeito...algo proximo a talvez se as demos de Emperor fossem feitas hoje em dia e influenciadas por Urkaos (ou outra qualquer entidade saida da Ancient Records), sem quaisquer tipo de aditivos a envenenar o som. Este é o segundo registo de um dos pilares mais consistentes do Valdivian Black Circle e um album que tanto tem de viciante como de obsessivo.
