Posted by Nick Skog on Tuesday, January 26, 2021, In : Nordicwinter 

After the releases of the "Requiem" and "Desolation" full-length albums in 2020, Nordicwinter returns with "Sorrow" this spring, marking its third release in two years and continuing a very prolific period for the project.

As with its previous records, "Sorrow" examines the darker side of the human condition through somber and melancholic music. Sticking at a mostly mid-tempo pace, the tracks on "Sorrow" (with the exception of the outro) are all between 7-10 minutes in length, and flow with se...

UPCOMING RELEASE: a noend of mine - Sanctuaires

Posted by Nick Skog on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, In : a noend of mine 
a noend of mine (anom) is a project by Les Vynogradov (Vin de Mia Trix, Kauan) based in Kyiv, Ukraine. The genre of anom can be loosely described as melancholic post-prog.

PRE-ORDERS: Omination - NGR

Posted by Nick Skog on Friday, January 8, 2021, In : Omination 
Today, we launch pre-orders for the release of Omination's "NGR".



An absolute mammoth of a record, “NGR” (The New Golgotha Repvbliq) contains over an hour of some of the most encapsulating and ominous funeral doom metal to come out in quite some time. Combining abrasive and dissonant riffs with a shroud of atmospheric and monumental church organ and choirs, the instrumental aspect of this record is already massive, which is only enhanced by Fedor’s forceful growls, belted with conviction...
