Vortumnal Grave – The Hypnagogic Age LP
€26.88
Black Metal
Altare is proud to present Vortumnal Grave’s debut album “The Hypnagogic Age”, featuring four tracks of dense, melancholic black metal with atmospheric elements.
Conceptually difficult to summarise, Vortumnal Grave offers up a cacophonous superimposition of imagery to shatter the thickening numbness of modernity. Themes of Nature, Time and Memory, half-forgotten Gods, Death, Creation and the eternal cycles of the Earth endlessly jostle alongside (and morph into) obfuscated personal moments in a kaleidoscopic prison reflecting the paradoxically claustrophobic yet expansive/maximalist sound of the album.
An unusual approach to the genre with an emphasis on composition and melody to send the listener on a journey through cryptic inner worlds.
Presented with a double side print foldover cover, limited to 100 hand numbered copies.

After 2019’s well-received Endless Trails demo via SIGNAL REX, HOLLOW WOODS strike with a full-length debut fittingly titled Cold Winds Cleave the Earth. While hailing from Finland, this mysterious entity largely eschew their homeland’s reigning black metal idiom, instead taking influence from Ukraine (Roman Saenko’s projects), Norway (early Ulver, equally early Gorgoroth), and especially Russia (the Blazebirth Hall collective). In other words, pure & proud BLACK METAL, nevertheless done with personality and charisma.

The first full-length black metal onslaught of Chilean Black Metal project Aarkanne, Mysterii, which followed the release of the debut Aarkanne demo entitled ‘De Profundis’ which was unveiled in November, 2020. Mysterii is a testament to the agonizing punishment of raw black metal with deathlike structures that enforce a flurry of distorted chaos. Six tracks of this thunderous South-American raw black metal carnage that are consistently punishing, Aarkanne delivers these strong waves of melodic plague in this LP. Pure hatred and disgust captured into six tracks of destructive raw black metal that stands for ultimate torment to the depraved.

Black Metal
In the womb of one of the secrets of time lies an inalienable resonance between the roots of man and his history cognizance. Oftenly, the seeking of an endless spirit endowment engulfs him with a veil of barren knowledge, that commonly ties his thoughts and reflections to the boundaries of an ordinary living, dragged by a flux of invisible strands that may craft a path leading nowhere. Sometimes, this delivers into a self-inducted catharsis where the glorious pursuit of ancient trails in own’s blood turns imperative. Despite it being minimum or gigantic. Pure as a child’s heart or intertwined as a chimera. This seed is what made man within and not without. Empowering him to step above all his previous versions yet giving birth to what will become his spiritform.
