The SELVHAT magnum opus Gjennom Mørket Famlende will always be a personal favorite of mine. This is where, in my honest opinion, he peaked before he left us, and yet I feel we had even bigger things to come, but alas.

Written, recorded and performed by himself with assistance from E.Blix, also playing drums on these recordings.

Absolutely mesmerizing, chilling Black Metal perfection, I will never stop praising this album!

Even looking back at playing an instrumental CD-r version back in the day, I instantly knew this was something special, and to this day I still think this is one unique album and one of my favorite albums.

Although slightly updated/adjusted layout, this release remains true to the original.

Black Metal

Haunting and tortured melodies echo through the ruins of a mausoleum, before erupting into heathenistic majesty.
Each track summons bygone eras with the guitars dominating the realm with flowing and triumphant riffs that inspire a sense of longing trapped within the madness.
The album as a whole instills a sense that it is forgotten relic of a lost time with an infernal entity revealing the secrets within.
Atmospheric and bursting with grandiose ambition, this gem shines within the crypts of black metal.

Raw and sinister primitive black metal, not for the faint-hearted.

‘La Morsure du Christ’ is the phosphoric sequel to Seth’s acclaimed 1998 debut ‘Les blessures de l’âme.’

A grand recrudescence composed in alexandrine metre, these progenitors of French black metal celebrate the conflagration and demise of Notre Dame de Paris as the end of the Christian reign and the ultimate betrayal of God, with the grandeur of orthodox black metal.

Black Metal

Five hymns of tormented raw black metal, heralded by delicate pianosong performed by én glasse, obliterated by the wrath of the enigmatic spectres responsible for the lucid primitivism of this ode to the terrors of the dark.

According to The Hollowed Wraith, one of its two members, Shades of Vrasj’kett “is meant to represent the once dead and deceived coming to life once more in spirit form to take vengeance on those who wronged them. In this case, the City of Vrsaj’kett is where these spirits, or ‘Shades’ derive from, and all that enter near or around it will be cursed & plagued with death.

This grim, tormented sound is illuminated with another stellar artwork from the eminent Rotting Reign.

SHORES OF LADON’s new EP “Heimkehr” (‘homecoming’) includes four new songs and a cover version, spanning over 26 minutes of duration altogether. The title itself shows yet again the band’s subtle sense for ambiguity: While referring to Orpheus’ retrieval of Eurydice from the underworld, which forms the core concept of the lyrics herein, as well as to a poetic German word for death, this EP also features old pre-Shores of Ladon songs ‘returning home’. Two of them (“Verlust” and “Jagdgrund”) originate from a nameless demo tape recorded in 2006 by St. and drummer M. (Cold Earth, Thorybos, Stygian Temple) with the lost lyrics being substituted. Also the title track pre-dates the band’s formation and was written by guitarist Nosophoros in 2008, re-arranged for SoL’s “Promo 2010” and now taking its final shape with re-arranged lyrics on this EP. Last but not least, and as very personal gaze into the past, “Abstieg” and “Weltenende” illustrate various SHORES OF LADON members’ deeply rooted passion for the Neofolk genre. The first is an own rendition and tribute while the latter is a cover version of one of this culture’s greatest hymns of the last two decades, “Ragnarok” by mighty Sonne Hagal.
