FOUR NEW RELEASES (APRIL 2010)
ATMF
NYSEIUS - MILITIAE
Brimming with a hideous energy born from a true understanding of the occult, cult French black metal band Nyseius make their full-length debut with Militiae. Frightening in focus, pure and total energy harnessed through metaphysical magick, the strict and stoic Militiae wholly evokes its title, deftly balancing ancient Scandinavian classicism with a thoroughly avant-garde approach. Dissonant and twisted yet free-flowing in its iciness, Nyseius create black metal that spans generations, both timeless and modern, traditional yet forward-thinking. SAMPLE
TENEBRAE IN PERPETUUM - ONORI FUNEBRI RITUALI (re-issue)
Most probable the best Italain Necro Black Metal band to date acclaimed debut album is repressed on a luxurious Digipack edition limited to 1000 copies. The darker side of the Burzumish and Darkthronish have inspired an outstanding monumental vision, the cold and raw recording, totally 90s addicted serve a deadly knife to fall in the darker pool of blood. Seek nothing else but darkness, the light of god can’t reach us. Booklet includes lyrics that were neaver revealed before and the band's demo and 7" EP as bonus tracks. SAMPLE
A SAD SADNESS SONG
SVARTI LOGHIN - DRIFTING THROUGH THE VOID
Goodbye, bitter cold and bitterer depression – hello, dazzling sunrise and spiraling bliss. Goodbye, black metal – hello, non-conformity. Although Svarti Loghin were never ones to follow, with newest album Drifting Through the Void, the enigmatic Swedes lead black metal to a glorious new dawn, setting fire to well-worn tropes, the now-meaningless clichés, and forge a path for the unknown, literally Drifting Through the Void. A wry view on negativity remains, but Svarti Loghin offer a more dynamic experience that beautifully integrates shoegaze and indie-rock and even alt-country. Bittersweetness was never so narcotic: lay back, bliss out, and experience Drifting Through the Void.SAMPLE
AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN - LOST
Glorious cascades of melancholy wash down upon you, cathedrals built from bittersweet tears pierce the rain-choked sky: indeed, this is an autumn for cripple children. Such is the sound of An Autumn for Cripple Children and their highly anticipated debut album, Lost. Literally wearing their hearts on their sleeves, AAFCC weave emotionally gripping, sonically gorgeous tapestries that canvass black metal, doom, and post-rock. However epic Lost may be in part and whole, the band moves naturally, effortlessly, between these sound palettes, never forcing the point nor evincing cloying “schizophrenia.” This is pure catharsis, and you will get Lost within it.SAMPLE

Black Metal as a renewed weapon can overcome the time passing by, shaped to infect and rage the rotten body of humanity with hateful pride. Semen Datura is the further demonstration of the great time that the German scene is living, performing their most impressive album to date, where personality and skilful songwriting is transcended into a pure form of darkness evocation.
Semen Datura music accrue to field that can be associated to bands like Secrets of the Moon, Deathspell Omega, investigating on the deepest corners of the decayed human being.

The Coldness can be manifested into different forms in its timeless truth. U.K. based Sanctus Nex are the modern black metal wanderers, their harmonic and disharmonic tunes a current of perception. A trip into usual and unusual shadings starts there, where Black metal is a constant recall but a departure point to develop a new visionary and evocative journey. The traditional black metal instruments are just a gateway to depart from the mortal, the vision is luckily, far beyond… Sanctus Nex are the feverish mood of introspection of Deathspell Omega detached from the Judeo-Christian paradigm, walking a different occult path, drenched into the heritage of their island: in pursuit of Albion.
