"Dans une plaine d'herbes grises

Pleuvent des larmes de givre.

Des silhouettes immobiles

Dansent une sagesse futile;

Et les regards des borgnes

Réveillent un corps ivrogne

Volontaire il s'enchaîne

Aux echoes de la rengaine

Pour expier sa peine"

ALBUM RELEASE: Hekseblad - The Fall of Cintra

January 9, 2026

Today marks the official release of our 2026 pressing of Hekseblad's debut EP "The Fall of Cintra"!

Although a re-release and thus having no new music to share with you as we usually do on release date, it is still a special day here as it marks the first release in a very busy 2026 schedule!

I am very happy with how the 10" turned out, and glad this piece of Hekseblad's early history is once again officially available! Everyone's orders will be shipped out in the coming days!

UPCOMING RELEASE: novæ - Destroying Angels

December 18, 2025

With a fresh approach on cosmic black metal, novæ conveys the awe, anxiety, and desolation of empty space through the perspective of the Apollo 11 Mission.

Unfolding like a transmission from the cosmos, discordant guitars clash against ethereal droning synth and authentic samples taken from the Apollo 11 MOCR ACR Collection to craft an immersive atmosphere simultaneously unnerving and transcendent. Combining raw and dissonant black metal with cold distant ambience, "Destroying Angels" builds...

We are thrilled to premiere alongside De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube the video clip for "Une Pleine Absence" - the opening track from their forthcoming album "Rituel" Initation".

Speaking of the video release, the band said: " "Une Pleine Absence" was our very first music, who gave birth to our project. To celebrate those roots, we decided to make an home-made video clip with our own skills and dedication rather than a big-production. "

UPCOMING RELEASE: De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube - Rituel: Initation

December 5, 2025

At the crossroads between the emotional universe of Amenra and the initiatory realm of Heilung, “De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube” (meaning from the abyss the dawn is born) is a project aiming to blend atmospheric and melodic post-metal with tribal rituality, offering a hypnotic, transcendent, and luminous experience.

November 21, 2025

Originally unleashed on Halloween 2021—mere months after the band’s inception—"The Fall of Cintra" laid the foundation for what Hekseblad would become today. The roots of what you hear on Hekseblad's 2024 full-length "Kaer Morhen" are present, but this EP is a different beast.

Store | Bandcamp

Channeling a raw primal energy reminiscent of black metal's second-wave, "The Fall of Cintra" is aggressive and atmospheric, with hints of symphonic and melodic flourishes sprinkled within, but wit...

ALBUM RELEASE: Ianthin – Pinacles austères

November 12, 2025

Pinacles austères is the debut mini-album from Ianthin, the singular vision of French multi-instrumentalist Jérôme Bouquet—known also as one half of Extreme Metal duo Ergholae Somptator.

Order CD | Digital

Ianthin’s music has its roots in metal, particularly doom and black, but also takes the liberty of exploring other universes. Threads of prog, pop, jazz permeate throughout the record, painting a rich tapestry on top of an underlying black metal maelstrom, crafting a sound that is unmi...
