This is where it all began for the French duo CÉNOTAPHE.

Four tracks of Black Metal splendor and misery.

Formed in that fateful year of 1996, CEREMONIAL CASTINGS were a band of the times, a band later behind the times, and now a band ahead of the times once again. Many will belatedly be aware of the name CEREMONIAL CASTINGS due to the membership of future UADA founder Jake Superchi, alongside his brother Nick Superchi, who were later (and once again now) joined by drummer Matt Mattern. The band crafted a canon of symphonic black metal that was admirably ambitious and often brilliant but all too often overlooked. Until their eventual demise in 2014, CEREMONIAL CASTINGS created nine full-lengths and just as many demos/Eps that were all released on their own label. Their album covers were often graced with artwork courtesy of the masterful Kris Verwimp, who also created the band’s logo.

CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT began as the solo work of multi-instrumentalist Necrosis. The man stands as a prolific veteran of Finland’s esteemed extreme metal landscape; during the past 20 years, his credits include Deathchain, Ajattara, Shade Empire, and Trollheims Grott. Joined by drummer Kassara – himself an equally prolific Finnish veteran whose credits likewise include Deathchain and Trollheims Grott but also Horna, Bythos, Forgotten Horror, Striges, and Black Death Ritual among others – CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT released their self-titled debut demo in 2017. Immediately, the eldritch essence of ’90s Finnish black metal was felt, and the storm was only brewing…

Christian Cosentino’s highly acclaimed second album is finally available on vinyl. Melodic and symphonic black metal with a heavy load of progressive elements, taking it another step further than his previous ‘Lawn’ album. Better yet, this new album builds further on the foundations made on ‘Lawn’ with a ton of layers, clean and shrieking vocals and a session drummer that goes up to 300 bpm. Impressive, to say the least.

The songs on this album have, up til this point, only been available on the long sold out extended CD versions of “The Devil´s Songs” that were put out by Dark Dungeon Music and Cold Meat Industry, respectively. The song “The Devil Must Kill” has only ever been available on the Cold Meat Industry compilation CD “Absolute Supper”.

These songs were all recorded not too long after the initial 5 songs (Part 1: Dance of The Dead) that originally appeared on the 10″ EP “The Devil´s Songs” in 1997. By their very nature, these songs are a lot more experimental, and rely heavily on atmospherics, with the exception of “The Devil Must Kill”, which was recorded a bit later, on it´s own, and is a bit of a return to the original “The Devil´s Songs” sounds, albeit the only song with sung vocals Cintecele Diavolui ever did.

Every new release by Circle of Ouroborus is always a breath of fresh air in the Black Metal scene.

Considered by some as an “outsider” or “experimental” Black Metal band Circle of Ouroborus do what they do best
and what the great bands of old did, carve their own path!

Two years after their acclaimed debut album conquered the black metal scene, Cirith Gorgor’s greatly anticipated sophomore album “Unveiling the Essence” was released on Osmose Productions in 2001. The album, while displaying all the strengths of their debut in the way of melodic yet fast black metal, showed a definite growth in song writing and, with a new writer in the process, summoned a even more intense and melancholic atmosphere than their first release. Owing to the worldwide positive response, “Unveiling the Essence” sold out over the years and has never been reprinted until now. Moreover the album is being released on vinyl for the very first time, something which puts warranted emphasis on the magnificent cover artwork by Kris Verwimp. Germanic tribes unite your forces, take up your arms and ride your horses! Bellum Germanicum, finally…

12th full length album of Clandestine Blaze returns with sharper, tighter, faster and less echoing sound than “Secrets Of Laceration”. Always something new, but also some of the songs return into more straight forward style of older CB.
