Dolorosa, a new project from Gaua’s mastermind, presents “Summoning Ancient Bleakness” as its debut release. Grounded in the 90’s Black Metal tradition, echoing “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” early Dissection and early Gorgoroth (just to name a few), it pays homage to its influences while pushing boundaries.
Channeling a fiery intensity linked to its spiritual roots, “Summoning Ancient Bleakness” displays an 8 song framework imbued with different dynamics and vibrant vigor, built on a perfect blend of guitar riffs and melodies with a robust and powerful drumming performance. On top of that, the vocals present a captivating and authentic rendition that thoroughly and brilliantly merges with the music.
Mixed and mastered at The Empty Hall Studio (Grifteskymfning, Odz Manouk, Aversio Humanitatis, Ostots, etc.) and proudly released by Altare Productions and Amor Fati Productions in an 12″ LP edition, “Summoning Ancient Bleakness” stands as a Black Metal master work — a stark and nihilistic monument to pure devotion.
Black 12″ LP, with a 12 page A5 booklet.

DORNENREICH offer a veritable cornucopia of wonderful surprises on their ninth full-length “Du wilde Liebe sei”. The Tyrolean trio has used the more than seven years that have passed since the release of their latest masterpiece “Freiheit” (2014) well to create a new dimension of sound. Although “Du wilde Liebe sei” remains faithful within the Austrians’ musical canon of combining heightened emotional dynamics with expressive momentum, DORNENREICH evolved their trademark sound further into a new dimension: a pulsating earth-rooted web build from percussion, bass, and electric guitars enables their unique vocals, acoustic guitars, and violins to grow wings and freely soar skywards. As the translation of the album title “You Wild Love Be” implies, this record revolves around the mystery of “love” and many of the powerful effects, painful misunderstandings, and complex entanglements that are forever associated with this human idea. Originally audibly inspired by melodic black metal (on their debut album “Nicht um zu sterben”, 1997), DORNENREICH developed a far wider musical horizon on the following seven albums with the progressing inclusion of acoustic instruments and elements derived from folklore and classical music as major contributing factors. Now, “Du wilde Liebe sei” marks the next major step in the band’s never predictable evolution to a unique style, which they have dubbed “black arcane rock”. With “Du wilde Liebe sei”, DORNENREICH enter a new sonic dimension that shines brighter than ever before and witnesses the Austrians climbing onto their highest artistic peak yet – time to get packed and to join their wondrous journey on the trail of love!

“Skelepht” is elevated into the highest echelons of sinister music by Dråpsnatt’s mastery of controlling the liminal values. A bloodred thread binds together the highly varied output, and this horror’s tentacles writhe in many dimensions at the same time while still being connected to the main body of frozen, fierce and elegant symmetry. On “Skelepht”, all of Dråpsnatt’s many outstanding features came together, and assembled a rare beast. A farewell it might be, but its echoes still resonate through eternity. In death; is life.

Recorded and released in 2014, Dreadful Relic’s “Archaic Conjurations” demo established the sonic and thematic axes about which the band has expanded and evolved over the last decade. The specter of ancient civilizations lost to time haunts their music. Cities once teeming with people, tethered to their own relative sense of modernity, reduced to ash and dust. This is the fate of all men—for all their megalomaniacal lust they are ultimately nothing, their works obliterated in the darkness cast by time’s long shadow. Nowhere is this phenomenon more readily apparent than in Dreadful Relic’s homeland of Greece, its ancient ruins and monuments like the last crackling embers and ashen remnants where the fire of western civilization once blazed brightest, harkening back to a time when the veil between reality and magic was thin, translucent, and permeable. Dreadful Relic approach these concepts metaphorically, drawing heavily upon the mythopoeic works of Robert E. Howard, references to which abound in the band’s lyrics.

“Haunter of the Deep” is an album filled with melodic and melancholic Setapophian Black Metal darkness that will drag you from the shallows into the murky depths below…
A journey to great empires forgotten by time… A trident to plunge and fill your lungs… And as death creeps closer with the tides and you are pulled into the Abyss, bioluminescent beings will become the last light that you see…

Recorded in the dead summer of 2007 and released in the same year, “Of Celtic Blood & Satanic Pride” is a notoriously polarizing album from this Australian Black Metal entity. An album that awakens the dormant genetic memory in ones veins while exploring the esoteric and occult aspects of the past.
Strong willed and setting a blazing pathway towards all future releases from Drowning the Light.

Black Metal

This album recorded in 2006 and originally released in 2007 is quite different from the rest of the Drowning the Light discography, with some of the most pained, torturous and deranged vocals over lengthy melancholic and miserable tracks venturing into the pathways beyond life and perceived reality.
Traveling through the noose of existence and beyond into the black Abyss.
This album set the groundwork for the poison that was “The Obscure Worship Chronicles”.
Black Metal misery.
