22/05/2009 Pre-Order Historia Nobis Assentietvr at The Omega Order and get two tracks from Absentia Lunae's never published EP "A Pale Triumph and Despair":  1. Pale 2. Triumph and Despair* *Re-recorded track of self-released debut album "Marching Upon Forgotten Ashes" Line-up on "A Pale Triumph and Despair": Ildanach: Vocals Climaxia: Guitars Aase: Guitars Sephrenel: Bass K.x.e. 19/19: Drums 24/04/09  Born in 1993, this never released before on CD recordings are a piece of history of True Norwegian Black Metal, involving Rune Vedda, one of the Forgotten Woods masterminds. “TMS” proves the unbelievable primeval strength that this revolutionary genre can express. All blacksters simply can’t ignore this milestone... And today’s wannabe extreme listeners may be affected both by vicious, sick and abrasive feelings of sharpened guitars and by a kind of inhuman atmosphere pervading the whole album. Far from today’s music standards and double-faced sound professionalism, conceived when Black Metal was just instinct and hunger and to express the dramatic and primeval force of this genre, “The Murder Sessions” is not only one of
the sickest releases ever from Norway, but also proves and “reports” how a direct musical approach has been the boundless strength of Black Metal since ever. Here’s where the word cult has to lie down, under the veil of the cold wind. SAMPLE 
Naturalistic Black Metal from Sweden in the purest form. The magic of the ’90s is brought back by an untainted act marked by dark feelings and reminding us the early Summoning evocative strength. Landscapes and visions of thoughtful solitude evoke the melancholy of a lost time, when obscure majesty was subsumed under an epic saga. Obscurantist rawness of the early years is seen through the eyes of a Northern-land wanderer: Lustre can really make time turn back to forgotten ages.  EXCERPT  In 1995 Maligner and B. Sanety decided to make their own band so to satisfy their darkest musical feelings: Empty was then formed. In 1997 Drizzt joined the newly formed band to play the bass. Last November and December Empty performed a mini-tour throughout Spain and played a gig in Madrid with Immortal and Primordial.
In the middle of winter in 2001, “A source of Hollow Essence” was recorded and then released in 2002. “The Last Breath Of My Mortal Despair” followed on in 2005, showing the Empty’s most negative and depressive side, but being more Black Metal than ever.
This new chapter in the band’s career confirms Empty’s unique ability to craft funereal moods by shaping Black Metal into a painful perception of decay. After a 14-year music career, Empty can be deemed as the father of this “genre”, as the band inspires feelings of inner darkness in a very personal way and is firmly rooted in its own style of playing without being affected by the plasticization of contemporary Black Metal scene. The macabre old-fashioned grotesque cover by Chris Moyen puts the final nail in the putrescent coffin of emptiness. SAMPLE
24/03/09 ATMF: Arcana Coelestia - Le Mirage de L'Idéal  After the brilliant feedback of the previous "Ubi Secreta Colunt" the mystical creature Arcana Coelestia comes back with "Le Mirage de L'idéal", a superb merging of dreamlike guitar riffs, evocative singing, but without fleeing away from the funeral doom’s heaviness.
Arcana Coelestia is one of the three creatures of MZ, mastermind of Urna and Locus Mortis, this chapter features also the collaboration of Sephrenel of Absentia Lunae as bass player. This new opus will become a dangerous trip for those into Primordial, Anathema, Shape of Despair, My Dying Bride, Summoning, Novembre, Esoteric and Alcest.  SAMPLE  There are bands so much capable of writing history that their intuitions become a trend for the followers. These bands can be rightfully recognized as fathers of their musical genre.
Wild Signs of the Endtimes collects material from ’96 – ’99 and will unveil amazing moments of madness for those into the pessimistic rock-shogaze bands going on today, played as usual with the incredible spontaneity of the black metal legends Rune Vedaa & Olav Berland (Forgotten Woods). Joyless is a personal way to mix melancholy, folk, rock, shoegaze, avantgardish and depressive black metal echoes in a cocktail of raw emotions. 23/03/09 ABSENTIA LUNAE and URNA t-shirts are now available. Trist longsleeve as well. All available in M, L or Xl sizes. Order at the ATMF eshop. 17/03/09 An independent division of ATMF called I, Voidhanger Records has just released an astonishing LP edition of URNA - ITER AD LUCEM , with different artwork and gold coloured vinyl, we're the exclusive distributors for it.

BIGGER PREVIEW URNA black t-shirt with colour printing front and back  BIGGER PREVIEW TRIST (longsleeve) white longsleeve with print front, back and sleeves  BIGGER PREVIEW 29/01/09 ABSENTIA LUNAE - HISTORIA NOBIS ASSENTIETVR  Coming after the immense display of transcended hate of “In Umbrarum Imperii Gloria” the third album of the Italian Warlike Black Metal squadron is a new campaign driven against the mere understanding of corporal death. The massive killing capacity on the drums has been improved by the involvement in the line-up of ex-BELPHEGOR touring member drummer Blastphemer and the dark-ambient, drone and electro genius MZ, mastermind of LOCUS MORTIS, URNA & ARCANA COELESTIA. This bloody unity has created a remarkable album for everyone into unique and personal Extreme and Hateful Black Metal. The result is a new opus of thundering monumentality were Extreme Avantgarde Black metal is forged in a new cruel form, tightly intended to crush the wall of time. A new dimension will raise from the ashes, washed by blood and the powerful resurgence will be a new expanding gleam in the immanent void, the road back home once again discovered, an assumption through violent conquest and degradation of our modern mask. URNA - ITER AD LUCEM  Esoteric Funeral Doom with immense expressive strength, Iter ad Lucem is another tome of antiquity, where haunting guitar lines drown the listener in a new oppressive and visionary dimension. Masterful avant-gardish attitude is strongly manifested on the drone and mystic ambient madness, manipulated sounds and sinister sepulchral recalls, featuring guest appearance by ritual noise overlord Eidulon The concept is based on the aeons' doctrine and the initiation path. If "Sepulcrum" has been receipt by the underground as one of the most innovative and fresh post-black metal funeral doom act this new one will raise their name between those of the most personal and innovative acts, another milestone from the LOCUS MORTIS & ARCANA COELESTIA mastermind MZ. 27/12/2008 ATMF is closed from December 28th 2008 to January 5th 2009. 29/11/08 Janvs have issued a statement about the censorhip on Terrorizer, you can read it below. Moreover we would like to thank the enormous amount of people that sent us support emails and scorn against the plastic-fake-fantastic attitude showed by the magazine. In addition we would send a big and hironic "thank you" to Terrorizer that raised false facts in their forum against ATMF and its bands, stuff that can't be taken seriously even by the most loyal corporate puppet, we will not reply to a so dignity-free way to behave: we think that it's more than enough to prove who's right about this unpleasante matter. by Janvs: It's been some days since an unpleasant occurrence has been brought to our attention by our label and consequently by our supporters. The English magazine Terrorizer, while finding our new album “Vega” an interesting piece of work, decided to censor an interview they were supposed to do with us because of “suspect links of the band with the world of extreme right wings politics”. We don't want to go deeper on the development of this issue, you can find all the information you desire on our label website (www.atmf.net) and on forums around the net. As no one from that magazine ever contacted us (and that's a consistent warning sign of the absurdity of this event) I didn't find an official statement from us on such a sad and low behavior to be very appropriate, since we are people that are interested in facts and not in useless chattering. However our label and many of our supporters suggested us that an official stance on the matter from our part could be necessary seen the proportion of the dementia involved in all of this. What we have to say is very simple. Of course we are not a political band and I really have to understand where politics of any kind could be found on any part or element of “Vega” and “Fulgures”. I think that few artistical approaches could be more distant from politics than ours. We also always made available all of our lyrics in our booklets, both in Italian and English. It's all there for everyone to see. I think that's enough to liquidate a problem that really doesn't exist on start and that I don't know why somebody decided to create. Maybe because of boredom and mythomania. That said we would like to made a couple of consideration in regard of the stunning behavior we have been damaged by, to try to let other people understand how much frustrating and demoralizing this can prove to be. We know that a part of the Terrorizer staff doesn't agree with the choice the magazine took and we invite them to stand firmly against this. We find it absurd that a magazine that is supposed to review music albums find it logical for its journalists to turn into some kind of secret agents that start to search and investigate the life of musicians they are supposed to interview/review up to maybe 10 years later. “When you were 14 you had that suspect t-shirt in that photo”, ”8 years ago some people told me they saw you speaking with a friend of yours that was probably involved in something right wing”...I don't find this to be a mature, serious and realistic way of looking at people while you would have to review the contents of music albums that are already very expressive and communicative by themselves. I find that to be a behavior that fits more to a civil war, to a tribunal, or to the pampleth-magazine of some political party rather than to an extreme metal magazine. I think that journalists that are simply offended by really alternative views compared the way of being and living the current world merciless endorses and to the relative fake/harmless/trendy rioting of angry hardcore kids, should stop filling their mouths with words such as ”underground”, ”extreme”, ”independent” and turn into puny MTV employes. Apart from the fact that they don't have too much problems when it comes to interviewing famous bands that maybe have multiple members with very real and beefy criminal histories. I suppose cash does miracles. We don't get coverage because maybe we have had right wing friends but murderers of homosexual / black people, animal torturers, rapers and the like don't seem to have this kind of problems if they are big enough. Thank you very much, Janvs 26/11/08 ATMF vs TERRORIZER MAGAZINE: ENGLISH VERSION, SCORRERE PER LA VERSIONE ITALIANA: JANVS were recently censored by “TERRORIZER”, a well-known English magazine distributed world-wide and deemed as a point of reference for extreme metal music. As that highly regrettable fact is grounded on the supposed as well as manifestly unfounded JANVS’ right political affiliation, we think it should be viewed as an opportunity to make some brief and lucid observations about the intellectual climate and police state currently existing in the so-called “independent” music press. Here it is what happened: After Louise Brown, Managing Editor of “TERRORIZER”, listened to the JANVS’ new album “VEGA”, she suddenly and definitely congratulated the band members on the new artistic phase they entered. She also showed interest in promoting JANVS in the “Breaking Faces” section devoted to the newest bands. So we called James Hoare, Deputy Editor of “TERRORIZER” and responsible for this magazine section, and, again, he recognized and stressed the value of “VEGA”. But we were then asked a question about some experiences band members had when they were younger and their supposed right political affiliation. As in our opinion we are not the appropriate interlocutor to provide such personal information – being, above all, strictly linked to individual opinions –, we didn’t answer the question by considering it as a bad and inappropriate remark. Rather, we expected that the artistry of “VEGA” was evaluated, for what the album is in its substance and expresses. However, at the same time we suggested the magazine team to remove any doubts in that regard, if in its own interest, by interviewing the band. From then onwards, we received no reply. So we resolved to call Mr. Hoare again to clarify the whole question. He answered us that as we didn’t “make public amends” (we’d like to know what for, actually), “TERRORIZER” – in Mr. Hoare’s own words, a magazine which must have a very cautious approach to what it publishes – couldn’t support JANVS, despite the band has a recognized added value. When we asked which passages of “VEGA” were suggestive of political hints, the album being of a broader nature and having wider perspectives, we encountered a wall of silence from people who seem wanting to play the role of a censorship policeman dealing with supposed personal opinions (as no remark was made about the actual contents of “VEGA”) and acting as resolutely as a reliable CIA official may do – or better to say, a KGB or DDR official by reason of the magazine’s political orientation acknowledged by its team in the last telephone conversation with us. It was also suggested that even ATMF is politically labelled, whereas it acts relying on spiritual and cultural grounds. During our last unpleasant telephone conversation with the editorial team, we stressed how blind the magazine’s attitude seemed to us, as the magazine carelessly supports bands such as Sepultura and Napalm Death. Moreover, some other inappropriate remarks were made, e.g. “you see, our magazine name ‘TERRORIZER’ originates from the band bearing the same name … so …” (we’ll let you guess what these words intended) or “our readers are, above all, Death Metallers and Black Metal is not of great importance, actually”. All these were elusive remarks for not acknowledging what was already obvious, i.e. the magazine’s political orientation. It seems that the whole question was initially raised by a “TERRORIZER” reader who called the editorial team (we have doubts that it really occurred, actually) to report how dangerous the JANVS’ project was. Thus, we wonder whether it is still possible that this type of narrow-minded individuals, defeated by their own lack of dignity, may affect public opinion in such a mean and devious way by manipulating editorial decisions of a so important magazine and whether readers shall still support a magazine which is so held to ransom and fears its own shadow. After this unbelievable fact, which is not the first and will not be the last, the word “extreme” needs to be redefined. Luckily, other similar magazines keep on providing all-round editorial products driven by genuine interest and free from such distorted mindset. However, there is someone who thinks readers are dumb idiots unable to decide what is the best for them and that they need to be kept unaware of potential “dangers”, such “dangers” perhaps making them think freely and helping them deciding what is worthy of their support and what is not, according to the genuine artistry involved rather than the plastic attitudes making the system risk-free. And that is the most reprehensible aspect of this whole sad affair. If this is the editorial policy put forward by “TERRORIZER” – of course, the magazine is free to impose it –, its statement of intent should be clear and known by everyone. Thus, we invite all music labels and magazine readers still believing in music as a way to break free from the modern world’s trends, to firmly support any actors really acting freely, making the word “independent” something authentic and not behaving submissively and deviously by paying attention to politically correct reactions. VERSIONE ITALIANA: L’increscioso episodio di censura subita recentemente da JANVS su “TERRORIZER”, noto magazine inglese, ampiamente distribuito all’estero e considerato quale uno dei punti di riferimento del Metal estremo, motivata con la presunta quanto infondata adesione politica di destra di JANVS, è occasione per una rapida quanto fredda considerazione sul clima e sullo stato di polizia mentale attualmente in essere nella stampa cosiddetta “indipendente”. Le circostanze: A seguito dell’ascolto del nuovo “VEGA” la caporedattrice Louise Brown esprime il suo forte e spontaneo apprezzamento artistico per la band e questo nuovo capitolo, manifestando l'interesse a promuovere il gruppo nella sezione “Breaking faces”, dedicata alle band emergenti. Una volta contattato il responsabile di questa sezione (James Hoare), nonostante venga ribadito dallo stesso il valore di “VEGA”, veniamo posti di fronte ad un interrogativo relativo alle esperienze in gioventù dei componenti del gruppo e presunte associazioni di destra dello stesso. Non ritenendoci il soggetto consono a fornire dettagli così personali (e soprattutto legati alla sfera delle opinioni), non forniamo rassicurazione alcuna, ritenendo l’uscita di cattivo gusto e fuori luogo, aspettandoci invece che venga valutata l’opera stessa, per ciò che manifesta e rappresenta nella sua sostanza. Tuttavia, invitiamo nel contempo la rivista – se nel loro interesse – ad indagare la questione in sede d’intervista. Da quel momento non riceviamo più alcuna risposta da James Hoare, al punto da ricontattarlo per chiarire la vicenda. La risposta è che non avendo fatto “pubblica ammenda” (vorremmo capire di cosa), “TERRORIZER”, una rivista che deve stare particolarmente attenta a ciò che pubblica (testuali parole del nostro interlocutore), non può supportare JANVS, nonostante il suo riconosciuto valore. Chiedendo dove nell’opera di “VEGA” si evincano richiami politici, avendo la stessa ben più ampio respiro e prospettive, troviamo un muro di gomma da parte di chi sembra voler svolgere un ruolo da poliziotto censore delle presunte opinioni personali (perché nessun richiamo è stato fatto ai contenuti concreti) con una convinzione pari a quella di un fedele impiegato della CIA o meglio del KGB o della DDR (visto l’orientamento politico ammesso della rivista durante una discussione telefonica). ATMF viene tacciata di essere anch’essa etichetta politica, pur muovendosi invece su terreni di natura spirituale e culturale. Nello sgradevole confronto telefonico finale con la redazione, dove sottolineiamo come la posizione della rivista ci risulti miope, supportando senza troppe paranoie gruppi quali Sepultura e Napalm Death, emergono altre sfortunate uscite da parte della stessa, quali: “in fondo il nostro giornale prende il nome ‘TERRORIZER’ dal nome del gruppo...quindi...” (lasciamo alla vostra intelligenza capire dove la rivista voleva andare a parare) oppure “in fondo i nostri lettori sono prevalentemente Death Metallers ed il Black Metal non conta un granché”. Tutte uscite evasive per non ammettere ciò che risulta ormai a tutti noi evidente, ovvero l’orientamento politico manifestato dalla rivista stessa. In precedenza era emerso che tutta questa storia fosse esplosa da una telefonata ricevuta in redazione (sulla quale dubitiamo) da parte di un lettore riguardo la pericolosità del progetto JANVS. Pertanto, ci chiediamo se sia ancora possibile che tali soggetti meschini, sconfitti dalla loro stessa assenza di dignità, possano influenzare in questa maniera abbietta e subdola l’opinione pubblica, manipolando le scelte editoriali di una rivista di tale portata, e se i lettori debbano ancora supportare una rivista che si fa in tal maniera ricattare e che teme la sua stessa ombra. Il termine “estremo” dopo questa incredibile storia, che non è la prima né sarà l’ultima, va quindi ridefinito. Fortunatamente altre realtà editoriali restano ancora in piedi e agiscono a 360 gradi con autentica curiosità senza diventare ostaggio di tali perverse logiche. C’è chi crede invece che i lettori siano un insieme di idioti incapaci di decidere cosa sia meglio per loro, che sia necessario tenerli allo scuro di potenziali “pericoli”, pericoli che forse li avrebbero fatti riflettere su binari non predefiniti, aiutandoli quindi a selezionare cosa sia da supportare o meno, sulla base dell’effettivo valore artistico e non sulla plastica inoffensività garante del sistema. Questo è di per sé l’elemento più riprovevole di tutta questa triste storia. Se questa è la sua politica, “TERRORIZER” è liberissima di imporla sia ben chiaro ed è bene che la cosa sia chiara e nota a tutti. Invitiamo quindi le etichette ed i lettori che ancora credono nella musica come forma di liberazione dalle catene della modernità a supportare con forza i soggetti che sono realmente liberi e fanno del termine “indipendente” qualcosa di autentico, senza essere supinamente e subdolamente subordinate al timore di reazioni politicamente corrette. 24/11/2008 Lantlos t-shirts are now available, pre-orders have just been shipped today.  BIGGER PREVIEW 17/11/08 DE TENEBRARUM PRINCIPIO RELEASES SYTRY – HUNGER OF COLD NIGHTS Sytry continue their cold northern crusade, ignoring any pathetic human trend. Hunger of Cold Nights is here as the first full length, after the demo re-press, manifesting another anthem of monumental cold and necro Black Metal in the early nineties heritage, yet on the same no-compromise path but in a more accurate form of expression.  SAMPLE TRIST - SEBEVRAZEDNI ANDELE Remixed and improved (still bloody raw) version with different artwork of the sold-out first press of this cult statement of self-infliction act of deep-ression, shortly become a point of reference for those into depressive Black metal.  JANVS – FVLGVRES second press will come out contemporaneously. Moreover: soon to come (within the end of the year) an exclusive and limited Long-Sleeve of TRIST. 31/10/08 LANTLOS T-SHIRT Limited edition, only 40 available in total, M, L or XL sizes Pre-orders available now at 14 EUR plus postage, order at erilar@atmf.net  08/09/08 SOME BANDS NEWS, NEW SIGNINGS AND OCTOBER RELEASES ARCANA COELESTIA: The new album "Le Mirage de l'idéal" has been recorded except for the vocals that had to be delayed due to some health issues occured to the singer, the release date should be around early 2009. On this album Sephrenel (Absentia Lunae) and Thorns (Frostmoon Eclipse among others), respectively on bass and drums, joined the ranks with MZ and LS. A raw premix previes is available at Arcana Coelestia Myspace URNA: The follow-up to Sepulcrum is completed and will be recorded in the next months. No title and release date yet. VISTHIA: The new, yet untitled, album is currently being mixed and the release date should be around early 2009. HOMSELVAREG: The new album entitled "Catastrofe" is currently being recorded and the release date should be around early 2009. NEW SIGNINGS: Absentia Lunae and Semen Datura are now signed to ATMF. OCTOBER RELEASES TRONUS ABYSS - VUOTO SPAZIO TRIONFO The re-release of the at that time revolutionary 2003 “Kampf” has unveiled the story of one of the most innovative bands in the Black Metal field, trespassing on the electro and apocalyptic field. After 5 years it’s time to give a new sign of communication and “Vuoto, Spazio, Trionfo” is a challenging and magnificent merging of noise ambient apocalyptic soundscapes and Black Metal de-fragmented memories. Not like the many wannabe pseudo-experimental acts TA sets new standard thanks to many years of electronic shaping of their sound and the very inner core of visionary Black metal. Starting from the rusty songs of the album to the more liquid and open atmospheres TA won the challenge of doing experimental and personal music in spite of the today tendency to follow the rules and market standards. This is because they’re a manifestation of the spirit, this cd will drive to madness those into Spektr, Darkspace because will show a further step of evolution, in some way recalling the madness of the Arcturus’ experimental face.  SAMPLE JANVS - VEGA After their brilliant debut album "Fulgures", JANVS' "Vega" represents another big step forward for the band who managed to realize its most musically and lyrically complex, rich and unpredictable work so far. An eclectic and intense effort which goes beyond any easy definition of musical genre. "Vega" consists of 7 new songs for almost 50 minutes of music and includes important contributions from various guest musicians. Starting from the basis of the milestone "Fulgures", the progressive influence showed before by the band becomes clearer and clearer culminating into an haunting visionary form of expression. Giving voice to a constant quest, to the fiery longing for a lost point of reference which constantly glimpses through the ever storming sea of the flowing eras, "Vega" lets the potential dispayed by the band in the previous release finally bloom, confirming JANVS as one of the most deep and unique acts in the current independent scene.  SAMPLE 29/07/08 September will see the release of: our new connected label A SAD SADNESS SONG dedicated to the most refined, melancholic intepretations of black metal will be releasing Svarti Loghin are destined to become the Swedish point of reference for words like skillfull, emotive and depressive Black Metal. The gloomy atmosphere of their debut leads to progressive territories and to strong disharmonic and melodic vibrations. Empty Wold is the anti-modern anthem which sophistication is the feeling of the music itself instead of any sort of instrumental joy. Empty World is like a twilight gradually covering Midgard, the demonstration that Scandinavia has still something unique to offer to the Black Metal and obscure music scene more in general. The awesome songwriting can sometimes recalls the darker feeling of Forgotten Woods' "The Curse of Mankind" or younger bands like early Alcest but it's something beyond. Attractive like nature but in the meantime deadly "Empty World" is the hard cider that will lead to watch the last breath of this vanishing world.  in addition De Tenebrarum Principio will be coming out again from its darkened hive with The cold calling of our dying modernity, featuring the Geist's singer the German band Lantlos is able to shape tasteful black metal and to switch inside their creation acoustic passages with a result that recalls of Ved Buens Ende's "For Those Who Caress the Pale" and Amoesoeurs. Lantlos is a Distorted Aesthetic in the gloomy and fucked up obscure decadence, powerful disharmonic feeling is the artist's palette to draw the listener to perdition and what may become a fatal introspection. The rawness of the underground meets with spontaneity a submerged avant-garde mood for a band that will be able to gift the most sensitive side of the extreme crowd with their personal vision of the grey sub-audible.  Moreover the UK based magazine ZERO TOLERANCE in his current 24 issue is featuring a two pages interview with two of the heads of ATMF about nature, past, present and future of the Foundation and a spotlight as well on its releases. 01/07/2008 ATMF is closed from the 3rd to the 10th of July, all orders meanwhile will be processed after that date. 28/05/08 TRONUS ABYSS have dared where, and even beyond, bands like Arcturus failed, the release in high quality digibook format of VUOTO, SPAZIO, TRIONFO will be available in September.

It will be the first chapter of the Cult Collection opened by ATMF, will come out in a special Digibook Cd Edition (limited to 1000 copies) that will become the standard of coming releases of this catalogue. BEATRIK - JOURNEY THROUGH THE END OF LIFE Released at the time by the Swedish label THR, soon became a classic of a certain way of shaping black metal. Far from the commercial public audience and depression only for the sake of sensationalism. A rage gem of astonishing black metal will find its appropriate case. The target of the Cult Collection under ATMF banner is to promote back acts that have carved in stone their meaning and that deserve this kind of special layout for how they have directly or indirectly influenced the label meaning and members, and more extensively that have affected what ATMF consider as the (their) scene, in spite of the dominant trend and the modern plastic-made releases. 02/10/2007 LOCUS MORTIS - VOUST : The book of Mother Death will unveil itself : 22nd October in Italy through ATMF, MASTERPIECE DISTRIBUTION 26th October in Austria, Germany, Switerland and Scandinavia through Twilight 05th November in UK, USA and rest of the world through CODE7 via Plastic Head. 28/09/2007 Aeternitas Tenebrarum Music Foundation will NOT release the new Celestia album as it was planned.

The album will feature a song with Argento (Spite Extreme Wing) as guest vocalist and lyricist. Expect something intense, aggressive, melancholic, solemn. No need to say, we deem this band to be another key column of our structure, a sign of nobility and perseverance. CELESTIA have completed the mastering process of their long-time expected come-back, the album will be released most probably on late September, early October, in their unique personal vein of necro-melancholic Black Metal. The album will be released in limited to 1000 copies Digibook and regular cd. LOCUS MORTIS are on the recording stage of their new dark opus “VOUST”, that will unleash darkness in late September, this time a drummer has joined the line-up and the result we’ve heard is simply killer, another glorification of the inner wisdom of the dark mother of death. MELENCOLIA ESTATICA is about to enter in the studio for the recording of the second chapter, name still to be unveiled, that will proceed a step further in the deep research of the feelings already present in the acclaimed debut.
