Black Metal

Repress of the AND OCEANS debut album from 1998 “The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts” on LP!

Black Metal

Finnish black metal veterans BAPTISM return with ‘V: The Devil’s Fire’, their first new album in four years and their Season of Mist debut. As tracks like “Abyss”, “Satananda”, “Malignant Shadows” and the title track illustrate, BAPTISM founder and visionary Lord Sargofagian is unwavering in his pursuit of crafting of black metal anthems. BAPTISM are among the black metal elite, and ‘V: The Devil’s Fire’ refines the grim art of black metal orthodoxy into a sharper, more vicious weapon.

CRAFT return to strike terror once again with their long-awaited new album ‘White Noise and Black Metal’. Their first new album in over seven years, ‘White Noise and Black Metal’ sees the notorious and highly influential Swedish black metal band reclaiming their throne as one of the most intimidating and caustic entities in the underground. A cold and calculated attack on hope and the light, CRAFT spew nihilism and negativity in its purest forms. ‘White Noise and Black Metal’ is a true manifesto of hostility, and a testament to the genre’s most elite and uncompromising band!

DRUDKH are a true underground phenomenon. Due to the great cooperation with Season of Mist the Ukrainians have agreed to re-release their complete catalogue on this label, which already started with their debut “Forgotten Legends” (2003).
Now DRUDKH’s much sought after second album “Autumn Aurora” (2004) is also made available again by Season of Mist with carefully restored and remastered sound. This masterwork also comes in beautiful digipak edition with new artwork. “Autumn Aurora” continues in the spirit of “Forgotten Legends” with the band’s trademark Slavonic Pagan Metal sound, which embraces epic folk-influenced melodies and creates cinematic and luxuriant atmospheres charged with melancholy. To this “Autumn Aurora” adds synthesizer and keyboards for the first time and has been quoted as the most atmospheric album of the Ukrainians. Lyrically DRUDKH’s creative figurehead Roman Sayenko once more delves into nature mysticism, the passing of seasons, philosophy, Ukrainian mythology, legends and history – often inspired by the works of nineteenth and twentieth century Ukrainian poets.

Neofolk

It marks a radical departure from previous Drudkh works in that all songs are entirely acoustic, arranged in the manner of traditional Ukrainian folk. Several songs contain elements of previous Drudkh material: “Tears of Gods” contains elements of “Fate”, “The Milky Way” is a rearranged version of “Blood” and “Archaic Dance” references “Glare of 1768”, all three of which originally appeared on The Swan Road, “Why the Sun Becomes Sad” contains elements of “Sunwheel” from Autumn Aurora, and “The Cranes Will Never Return Here” is an acoustic rendition of the opening riff from the Blood in Our Wells track “Solitude”.

Black Metal

After their Neo-Folk opus, ‘Songs of Grief and Solitude’, with this latest effort DRUDKH returns to their Black Metal roots, with five long compositions in the epic and melancholic vein of ‘Forgotten Legends’, although with better sound, organic drums, and brilliant bass playing, in sum displaying the sophistication of ‘Blood in Our Wells’.

Originally published in 2002 and long out of print, ‘Invoking the Majestic Throne of Satan’ established the band’s trademark chainsaw riffs and ominous vocals croaking odes to the infinite and satanic alike. Foreshadowing INQUISITION’s arrival as the new kings of darkness and now adorned with brand new cover art designed Paolo Girardi, the album’s nine paeans to the occult are at once hostile, hypnotic, and bombastic.
