Black Metal

Melodic and symphonic Finnish Black Metal, with an inclination for slow atmospherics, sinister soundscapes and minimalism.

Dungeon Synth

Featuring two stalwarts of the dungeon synth genre, this split also brings together Finland’s foremost purveyors of the resurgent style. DRUADAN FOREST, of course, should require little introduction for those who follow the banner of WEREWOLF RECORDS: in 2019 did mainman V-Khaoz (also of labelmates VARGRAV and GRIEVE) release the staggering atmospheric black metal monolith Dismal Spells From the Dragonrealm, and shared an all-dungeon-synth split album with THE TRUE WERWOLF in 2108. Here, DRUADAN FOREST deliver two epic-length tracks of the purest, most fantastical dungeon synth. Unlike so many two-note/one-loop charlatans, V-Khaoz’ dungeon synth creations are symphonies unto themselves, neither understated nor overstated, with fugue-like compositions revealing a wealth of adventure and mystery equally.

The USBM project ECLIPSUS was founded by solo member Coughin Wraught (Noctilucent, Serpentshrine) in 2018.

As as step away from his other raw black metal projects, ECLIPSUS is a medium for more emotional extraction and self-reflection: The debut album “Yurei” followed the steps of entropy through an individual’s path to suicide in the japanese forest of Aokigahara.

This second opus “Sullen . Euphoria” follows this path traced by Coughin Wraught: his music can be seen as an introspection, a deep inner journey carried away by a rumbling, melancholic, sometimes violent swell, which closes in on itself again and again…
its majestic guitar leads, carried by a distant and gaunt voice, will immerse you in a soaring, strange but unique and beautiful atmosphere.
For fans of NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION, TOTAL SELF HATRED, FORGOTTEN TOMB…

Black Metal

With its gloomy and epic Dark Metal, Empyrium’s first release isn’t only the groundwork of Schwadorf’s further musical creativity. «A Wintersunset …» was also the starting signal for the label Prophecy Productions, as the name «Prophecy» had previously just been in use for a mail-order.

Black Metal

A masterpiece of monumental and bombastic Dark Romantic Metal.

With “Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields” (1997), Schwadorf perfected his dark Metal full of classical Romanticism and traditional folklore. The album relates back to the band’s debut “A Wintersunset …”, but also delivers the blue-print for their later development into more tranquil folk sceneries.

Black Metal

Classic from 1994 available again on CD.

Black Metal

First released in 1993 as a mini 12” LP, “Hordanes Land” was also released a few weeks later as a split CD album with Emperor and is considered a key release in the development of Viking metal.

The By Norse Music re-issue on physical formats features exclusive liner notes and quotes by major figures of the Black metal scene such as Fenriz (Darkthrone), Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ), Lee Barret (Candlelight) and Hrymr (Helheim) among others, a reassembled layout respectfully done by Marcelo Vasco. All formats feature the original songs entirely remastered by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet Studio (Bergen, Norway) and the bonus track “Enslaved”, from the Enslaved split with Satyricon “Yggdrasill”, released in 1992.

Black Metal

Raw, untamed, furious yet sophisticated, “Yggdrasill” is undoubtedly an essential cornerstone of the Norwegian Black Metal scene. Despite the young age of their members in their teens at the time they recorded it, “Yggdrasill” already shows Enslaved ability to write complex, powerful and evocative compositions, being among the first ones to tap into the Norse mythology and Viking imagery to convey their Nordic heritage.
