The NEW "Ataraxiis" CD is the long-awaited third full-length album by ENOID from Switzerland. Featuring sickdrummer extraordinaire Bornyhake (also with BORGNE / KRIGAR), ENOID unleash a ferocious assault full of grim intensity, vitriol, and the utter misanthropy that made Nordic-influenced Black Metal of the early '90s so unique and truly brilliant.

Sound-wise, THE SKADEN's long-awaited new album "You Will Hope I had Died..." is a drastic change over the previous "There's No Light at the End of the Tunnel..." album as EIKENSKADEN (from 2006, also on BlackMetal.com Records)-- this new album reveals a totally progressed sound venturing in the realms of shoe-gazing Post-Black Metal, but still retaining some distinctive EIKENSKADEN / MYSTIC FOREST signature sounds, namely Stefan's grim vocals and the French continental-oriented melodic distorted guitar which has evolved from the ultra-necro atmosphere of the original Les Legions Noire (French 'Black Legions') Underground. "You Will Hope I had Died..." is depressive, melancholy and morbidly suicidal... Purveying singular-minded themes of solitude, desolation, and despair.

“As bracing as a shot of super-chilled vodka downed in an ice-storm, this 'best of' anthology from Icelanders THULE hits on all cylinders.” -- Liz / Metal Maniacs Magazine The long-overdue 'Official' CD release of the Pre- CURSE / FORTID / POTENTIAM mid-90's recordings of Icelandic Black Metal pioneers THULE(!), who many of you should remember from the "Fire and Ice" compilation. This essential anthology excavates seminal tracks rescued from early recordings without alteration, faithful to the original mid-90's Scandinavian Black Metal sound and atmosphere now copied by countless bands today-- with raw, utterly 'cult' production, yet the spark and energetic aggression shines through via high-calibre songwriting and crushing ensemble execution.

Antinomian Black Metal Underground rising! Truly iconoclastic ground-breaking Asian Black Metal: the much-anticipated third full-length album by Japan's Endless Dismal Moan. Highly recommended for discriminating fans of BLUT AUS NORD ('Mystical Beast of Rebellion'), early BLACK FUNERAL, ANAAL NATHRAKH, old EMPEROR, FORGOTTEN TOMB, XASTHUR, etc. (Autumnal Solstice 2007)

Diehard fans of imaginative and unique Black Metal from E.D.M. rejoice! Another 7 songs of outstanding 'one-of-a-kind' Blackened artistry purveying grim insanity, darkened delirium, transcendental other-worldy dissonance, and disturbing sonic euphoria from the mysterious and enigmatic Kansai genius known only as CHAOS9! Fans all over the planet have discovered the rare aural magic unleashed via the two previous albums to become rabid cult worshippers of this peerless one-man band.

"An impressive new disc from the Japanese artist known as Chaos9, where tension, bloody fury, drama and despair do battle using flesh-ripping thrash guitars and haunting piano melodies. Full color booklet inside and out with outstanding graphics." -- Weed B. Gone / SubWrex (San Francisco)

The much-anticipated second album of hellish Black Metal from Japan's ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN! Immediately satisfying for fans of the groundbreaking [self-titled] debut album, "LORD OF NIGHTMARE" is an impressive follow-up that succeeds in expanding the horrific blackened atmosphere that has become ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN's signature sound. The pounding rhythms of the debut (previously compared to early SWANS and country-mates ZENI GEVA) have become much more pervasive, reaching deeper into doomy depths without becoming mired in sludge. The grinding guitar base retains it's bright yet abyssic and utterly maddening tone, all the while ushering the listener on a hair-raising ride through purgatorial vistas like the nightmarish tableaus of Heironymous Bosch's visions.

A close comparison might be made to some of the more recent recordings of distinguished USBM veterans BLACK FUNERAL, but E.D.M. are more adept at supporting their audial torment with more dynamics and LESS repetition. Ghostly piano abruptly appear, only to give way to disembodied funereal choirs wailing incessantly in the background behind absolutely tortured, yet still enraged and grim vocals. Sometimes disturbing, often-times intoxicating and completely delirious, with a constantly foreboding atmosphere, ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN's "Lord of Nightmare" is a unique and distinctive, albeit 'exotic' facet of modern Black Metal that proves essential for intrepid cult fanatics with fearless and adventurous constitutions. Even fans of [old] EMPEROR, [early] ANAAL NATHRAKH, and San Francisco's now-legendary WEAKLING are well-advised to check out E.D.M.!

Heathen American Black Metal Underground in the obscure atmospheric raw vein of STRIBORG, XASTHUR, early BURZUM, ENTHRONING SILENCE, JUDAS ISCARIOT, VOCIFERIAN, VORDR, and BRANIKALD. Carefully composed long tracks with a solid high-calibre sensibility, and effective dynamic aesthetic present throughout. Melancholy hypnotic, somewhat trance-inducing 'cult' ('raw', not harsh) songs, though not as repetitive as INFERI, and definitely not as primitive as STRIBORG. Nostalgic pagan USBM from the misanthropic hermit known only as Dreogan. Predominantly mid-tempo, bleak and doomy, "AN OBSCURE FORGOTTEN PATH" features atmospheric music that demands absolute attention.

Certainly no 'sophomore slump' here on UVALL's much-anticipated second album! "OCTOBER TURNS... RUINED" presents a more Doomy atmospheric approach (with real live human drummer this time); and now intentionally featuring clearly strong influences from Xasthur and San Francisco's Leviathan (but with more blood-freezing clarity in sound production) to add to the frosty grim blizzard-based atmospheric Black Metal that is signature UVALL. Mesmerizing, melancholy, and deeply atmospheric (almost 'shoe-gaze'-y), with songs that burrow permanently into your memory very rapidly. High-calibre, yet still grim and cult; lucid and crystalline Blackened attack utterly drenched in profoundly melancholy aspirations and unrequited longing. As groundbreaking as the debut "Obsidian Torment" (see below), but clearly, a huge improvement, and definitely an essential tour-de-force from UVALL!

Thus far, 2009 has been a very exciting year for new Black Metal releases. "Skullreader" is no exception, being the first release by Sun of the Blind, the new project of Darkspace's Zhaaral. Like with his main project, Sun of the Blind focuses on spacy fuzzed out riffs and ambient atmosphere, channeling the likes of "Filosofem"-era Burzum.

The riffs featured on "Skullreader" are often hypnotic in their nature, trancelike and monotonous with a raw edge. Space-synths are a prominent feature, creating psychedelic soundscapes and an otherworldly signature sound. At its most epic, Sun of the Blind sounds a lot like the French masters Blut Aus Nord, but with a decidedly more melancholic tint.

1999-2009: Ten years of existence of FORGOTTEN TOMB... nowdays undisputed maestros of depressive Black Doom Metal.. or as they prefer to call it now, Southern Discomfort Music.... To carve history into stone they have re-recorded their finest tracks, this time in "one take, one sound and one line-up"... and burned 'em all on a double-album... something unique for their fans: this is "Vol.5" ! By all means in fact this is NOT a "best of" compilation: all songs have been rerecorded live-in-studio with no overdubs nor special tricks, thus preserving the same raw, genuine and powerful feeling you would face during the band's live-shows, and we call it "LIVE IN STUDIO". Not enough, most of the lyrics have been updated and some songs re-arranged (even into some medleys !). To add some valuable bonus to this monumental piece of work, the band has recorded two unexpected covers of NIRVANA's "Papercuts" and BLACK FLAG's "Depression", as well as a "BLACK SABBATH" introduction. Last but not least, a brand-new and unreleased song has been recorded too, titled "Spectres Over Venice"; the song is one of the finest FORGOTTEN TOMB tracks ever and will easily become a staple of the next FT live-shows. The booklet of the album includes unreleased live-pictures, liner notes by Herr Morbid himself and all the revised lyrics. "Vol.5" is a masterpiece that every follower of extreme music should own in his collection.

Superior Enlightenment is an extreme metal outfit featuring members of Magister Dixit, Utlagr & Fragments of Sentience. Somewhere between Keep of Kalessin and Zyklon, Superior Enlightenment is pushing the limits of brutality into the black metal genre. One of the best drum performances in Canadian extreme metal in 2009, Franky Blastbeat is literally outstanding. Combined with Ekinox' relentless and merciless double guitar assault, it constitutes a crushing piece of violence. Superior Enlightenment condemns the attitude of the governing class. The great obscurantism is a criticism of the ruling elite and their means to keep and increase their power. Supreme wealth is a sign of supreme depravity.

The debut full-length album by Inner Missing (St. Petersburg, Russia) - The Age of Silence out August 1st! Excellent Doom Death Metal with Atmospheric Dark influences. On the album the band does not depart from the canons of genre but also does not lose its own individuality.

The new act of depressive Black Metal hails from Norway/Germany, whose members come from Nyktalgia, Sterbend, Total Hate and Armageddon. Hinsidig mixes the North folk elements along with a great deal of clear back vocals based on the lines of primitive Black Metal, sounding like Ulver from their early era. The inspirational instrumental arrangement and melancholic melody can also be easily related to Nyktalgia and Wolves In The Throne Room. Highly recommended!!!

“Nightbringer represents the lunar and chthonic currents that flow from the fount of the nighted god-head. Much of the focus is on the profound Death. Personal and spiritual tribulation via descent towards a terminus which is both physical and meta-physical has largely dominated the “theme”. This is the groundwork, though more personal meanings are applied as individuals. What is revealed to the listener may be subjective as the lyrical approach is enigmatic and allegorical, drawing on esoteric inspirations to relay deeply personal philosophies and spirituality.”

“Spirito di pietra” (Spirit of stone) is simply the result of a constant process of emptying, a progressive loss of a condition beyond Man and his own dimension. A powerful and ambience black metal, sometimes apocalyptic, purely experimental, with post-rock, industrial, and psychedelic finishing touches, generating Orwellian visions where melodies, stuffed with a continuous lifetime-long research, echoed and are accompanied by the mystique of the Shakespearean sonnets and Pound’s dizzy verses.

“Self Therapy” is a journey through yourself emanating directly from the heart and soul. In this stunning new full length album Beyond Helvete crosses various styles of rock and metal. Lyric contents mainly came from psychic matters in a negative and misanthropic view following the composer’ deep artistic mind. “Self Therapy” is purely emotional music creating deep and dark atmosphere, alternating monotonous structures as well as powerful and fresh riffing and drumming. These sound-waves will bring you from the struggle inside yourself into a final calm catharsis; the alchemical harmony of Black Metal, rocking wall of sound, depressive/curative touch will leave the listener with a sense of unforgettable trance-state. The CD is released as a noble 6 page matt digipack, all artwork by : Stephen Lenfestey.

Label: Dusktone/Greytone Records (Italy)

The Moljebka Pvlse album Zojo was recorded during the Mathias studies at the Royal Institute of Art. He was inspired by the longest night of the year in Stockholm, the day when there is almost no daylight. His ambition was to make an acoustic album of minimal music without any musical instruments. Moljebka Pvlse setup long nylon strings across his entire studio at school, which he then plucked and bowed and recorded with his favorite contact microphones on that very night. These recordings became the fundament of the album and set the tone for the rest of the work. Moljebka Pvlse are very grateful for the contribution by the Japanese artist Michiko Kashiba on this album. Digipack CD.

AstorVoltaires is a one-man band lead by Juan Escobar who is perhaps best known as the vocalist and keyboard player in Mar de Grises. This solo album explores another side to this musician which has resulted in something much lighter and melodic than his regular doom outlets. It would even be a big call to even class this as doom-metal although at times it does sound a little like Katatonia but for the most part, this is more of a prog meets folk rock experiment with elements of doom and death metal thrown into the melting pot

Musically, "Carriers of Dust" is an instable stream where extremities tend to gather constantly; hence the unusual cohabitation of powerful and epic tones alternating with suicidal and desperate colors. Keeping the radical Romantic and Baroque base lead by a blasting extreme metal pace that had built the identity of the previous release, this new opus integrates more diverse influences which give an almost progressive taste to the music. Benefiting from a massively improved production (especially on the drum level) this new release should convince all those who remained skeptic with the debut album. Mostly sung in French and composed of evolving long tracks, "Carriers of Dust" will target the heart of its listener and rip it savagely until no more tears can ease the pain. Each listening will be an initiative journey revealing hostile and unexpected surroundings.

Gangrene is composed of dense and evolving tracks switching between French and English, and benefits from an improved production. Powerful, hateful and emotional, Gangrene shall allow old listeners to join in its cause and convert the last skeptics.... Mirrorthrone's time has come!!

The fourth album of the famous Ukranian project Raventale demonstrates artistic evolution of its only member hidden beneath Astaroth name. On the one hand the new work named “After” continues the tendencies of the previous album with its mood and concept; on the other hand this is a standing alone masterpiece progressing from black/doom metal style to depressive black realm. The ideas behind this album demonstrate author’s thoughts about eternity and its decay, about the cyclic nature of life and being, about the destruction of this reincarnation cycle by the nature itself. Without any doubt the album can be treated as the best album of Raventale that has been ever created. The gold-plated CD with pit-art comes with a booklet printed on a golden paper which makes “After” a must-have item for your music collection and an outstanding present for any adept of the genre. Note from HDR: CD Inscription looks amazing!

Genre: Melodic Drone Doom/Post Metal
Label: Solitude Productions (Russia)

The official debut release from a unique band from Belarus. The music of Re123+ is an act of meditation. Each time the band offers to a listener another kind of sound, never repeats itself preparing a special program for each concert.“Magi” is a travel to the Past demonstrating the ancient story of Adoration of Magi to the listener as an astrological story. This is the attempt to understand and to see the true essence of matter while clearing it from various interpretations. This album like all other Re123+ works was recorded during night time. Besides traditional drone-touched guitars the musicians introduced sounds of accordion, triangle and percussion. Stylistically their music varies from drone-doom to post-rock and will surely suit the tastes of early Earth fans.For proper visualization of the album’s idea the booklet includes photo art by members of Re123+ accompanied by citations from «The Island of the Day Before» by famous postmodernist Umberto Eco.

With their fourth release, NEGATIVE MEGALOMANIA, Italian dark/doom metal combo Forgotten Tomb continue on the twisted path they've been traveling, albeit with some new forks in the road. Like their previous releases, the music is oppressively bleak, with slow to mid-tempo dirges dominating. This time, however, the band's evolution includes surprisingly clear vocals from lead depressive Herr Morbid. His usual tormented growls are now paired with more traditional singing, only making the grim, suicidal, lyrical content all the more crystalline. While black metal is an obvious stylistic touchstone, Forgotten Tomb also looks to classic doom influences like Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate. With atmospheric guitars creating a gloomy haze and coloring the aggression a moody, introspective shade, NEGATIVE MEGALOMANIA marks a comfortable fusion of metal crunch with funereal ambiance.

The Borderland Rituals, Umbra Nihil’s second full length release, seems like a musical mongrel mostly drawing influences from slow doom flavoured metal, 70’s prog rock, Zeuhl, Voïvod and maggot-infested Heavy Metal in general. In order to achieve a suitable claustrophobic sound and eerie, forbidding atmosphere the album was recorded in an isolated and quarantined abandoned house on the inbred borderland, sullenly crafting the band's sound into a more organic and gelatinous direction, thus leaving the sterile production of Gnoia behind. Additional astrality has been contributed by Tuomas M. Mäkelä of the ambient band Jääportit. The Borderland Rituals has been mastered by Devo Andersen at Endarker Studio in Sweden.

An inspired, distinctive, characteristic product that really sounds like nothing else out there. A long-established mixing of Dark/Black Metal having a not quite 'industrial metal' feel including many current moments with morose atmosphere. Individuals can tell hours were used in the assembly and production of this release. Kvarforth from Shining goes mental for a second time on central vocals. This release will be an all encompassing way to pass Bethlehem into 2010 and afar.

This is a heavy, true and authentic sounding album in this plagued time of triggered digital Death Metal with lyrical approach and execution rarely seen in today's cliché-ridden quagmire.

The first onslaught initiated by another embodiment of hatred of Shatraug, the mastermind behind the long existing black cult HORNA, namely SINISTERITE! Old-skull Black Metal as it is meant to be - filthy, sludgy, immense darkness and infused with doom. The lord of chaos is once again reigning the world of hell! Insanely recommended!

Horna’s mainman Shatraug keeps himself busy with a plethora of black metal bands, ranging from the depressive landscapes of Mortualia to the old school doom filthiness of Sinisterite. Foudre Noire, comprised of him and Nox from United Kingdom, is Shatraug’s take on space themed black metal, and quite a pleasuring assault it is.

Pantheist are firm believers in keeping creatively active, and have recently finalized writing their fourth album. A refinement of sorts, this new collection of songs takes the band’s blueprint and progressive leanings, and merges them into a coherent whole where introspection and heavy riffs go hand-in-hand. With Kostas’ unique compositional and conceptual vision, the original model remains instantly recognisable, but has now been given more space to breathe; with a larger emphasis placed on songs, yet without losing sight of the value of the whole.

After the high worldwide acclaimed debut album “The great white emptiness” Holland’s COLD BODY RADIATION is soon to release the second studio album “Deer Twillight” on fall 2011. So hard to categorise, CBR is becoming a fiercely original reference in the so called post-bm shoegaze movement. The new seven compositions come with a pounding sound structure trying to flout all conventions of usual extreme metal audio structures. ‘Deer Twillight’ captures the cold season in all shades and lights. Winter provided a perfect backdrop for melancholy and inner turmoil. This is a personal journey looking for hope in bleak circumstances. Trying to capture the overwhelming beauty and despair of winter.

Lost Inside plays a certain type of music that sounds like no other, the atmosphere it sets is perfect for any type of mood. The songs will leave you with a haunted feeling, a feeling of utter bliss towards everything around you. The music can be interpreted into many different feelings, but above all you will feel the artist’s pain just as he feels it, the hollowness he feels.

Active since 2002, having already put out a long list of CDr and tape/demo only releases, this is Lilyum’ first pro-CD release. Although it is inspired by modern War Black Metal style, Lilyum create music that is intensely original in it’s orientation : thumping violent drum-war-machine, hyperblasting guitar riffs, brutally abrasive voice from beyond create a demonic wall-noise and blasted atmosphere perfectly orchestrated by multi-instrumentalist Kosmos Reversum. The nine-song “Nothing is mine” will bring you in a magisterial earth-shaking journey of your most wildly mind abandonment.
