Precizní funeral doom death metal z Belgie. Digipack.
Osm psychedelicko rockových písní, které popisují postřehy člověka jenž se rád zdrží venku když se setmí. Svit městských lamp a pouličních scenérií navozuje plno nostalgických vzpomínek, do naší mysli se promítá balancování o vyřčených slovech, o činech, které nám ovlivňují budoucnost. Večernice se alespoň okrajově vyrovnává s křivdami, se ztracenou láskou, s vlivem drog. Nachází plno naděje a kouzelných chvil osamocena při nočním proplouvání. V moři nočních světel, mezi světluškami s cigaretou, lahví whisky. Ve slowmotion obrazech se vynořují vzpomínky na tíživé životní chvíle a píšou dokument o jejím současném životě. Uvědomění o krásách a hodnotách, snech a vizích, které nesmějí ustrnout v tom co nám prezentuje okolní svět, plný zášti sebeobohacení a nenávisti. Krásu, a smysl života si nacházíme vždy sami. Nikdo nám ji vnutit nemůže. Nikdo nám nemůže nařídit koho a co máme milovat...
Old school heavy thrash metal. Finsko.
Progresivní black metal z USA. Digipack.
Exclusive Digipak Edition Limited to the first pressing Incl. bonus king crimson cover "Larks" tongues in aspic, part II" Chicago's MURMUR has reemerged an altogether different beast than the one that spawned 2010's morose `Mainlining the Lugubrious'. On their new album 'Murmur' the band, led by guitarist/vocalist Matthias Vogels, craft music as distinct and progressive as anything to ever come from the US heavy-rock underground. The music is angular and propulsive; flexing fluid time and meter changes as they build to dizzying crescendos, before collapsing into moments of fragile subtlety. 'Murmur' spans the spectrum from primal to provocative, and is the crossroad where a wild pastiche of influences (black metal, experimental jazz, midwest punk and noise rock, and more) meet. `Murmur' is one of the most innovative, groundbreaking albums ever to be spawned from the modern black metal scene.

Zbrusu nové, čtvrté album ukrajinské pagan folk metalové kapely. Album na ploše 38 minut obsahuje 8 skladeb melodického a velice pestrého pagan metalu s mužským a ženským vokálem. Celkovou atmosféru samozřejmě doplňuje několik folkových nástrojů (djembe, perkuse, flétny, niněra, bandura, didgeridoo, píšťaly...), ale i viola, cello či trumpeta. Kromě základní, stále tříčlené sestavy se na albu objevuje dalších 12 hostujících muzikantů a čtyři sboristky a sboristé. Vše ve specifickém východoevropském duchu, přesně tak jak to umějí jen kapely z těchto končin. CD obsahuje krásný 20 str. booklet s texty v ukrajinštině a angličtině.

Mystický progresivní doom metal z Německa. Projekt lidí z Empyrium.
The so far last album of the oscure Prog duo.
According to legend, a Noekk is as volatile as the water of the river, the sea or the well he protects.
This creature, which is as fickle as it is fascinating, is a reflection of “The Minstrel’s Curse”, the mythical duo’s third album. The Noekk has left the puddles in the hinterland of vintage Progressive Rock, unexpectedly popping up in waters far from home, not giving a damn about genre issues.
Progresivní mystický doom metal z Německa. Projekt lidí z Empyrium.
On one hand Noekk are amazingly strong and direct, and on the other hand they’re mystical and unforeseeable. The comparisons they’ve earned so far – Landberk, King Crimson, and last but not least Empyrium (Yugoth and Baldachin are maybe better known under their former names Schwadorf and Helm) of course – hint at the timeless quality of their music and point out the many facets of this band.

Nové album britské pagan black metalové kapely.
New album "European Paganism" of UK pagan black metal band! Nordland crawled out of the earth in 2012 with the eponymous debut LP. Followed one year later by “The True Cult of the Earth”. After a short break Vorh returned in 2015 with "Songs of Regression" this time on Black Plague Records and Metallic Media in the USA. Now in 2017 “European Paganism” is about to be unleashed. European Paganism marks the triumphant return of Nordland. The 4th heathenistic opus from the fevered mind of one man act Vorh. European Paganism is a concept album, weaving its twisted allegory through a landscape of old souls long forgotten. It is the most ambitious album to date, with 27 minute album opener “The Mountain” echoing the epic progressive albums from which it was inspired. Nordland continues to push the writing of the material while staying true to the original intent. Come and take the first step onto the path towards the mountain!
Depresivní black metal. Kanada.
Misantropický black metal ze Švédska. Jediná 45 minut dlouhá kompozice.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever."
A vision of our future dystopia is presented on 'Slaves of the Vast Machine", the new album from the Swedish Misanthropic Black Metal duo 'Obitus'. After their 2009 full-length "March of the Drones" and an EP in 2014 , they return with their most solid album yet!
'Slaves of the Vast Machine' conveys human aimlessness and desperation amidst total social control with some brilliant icy riffs and dissonant tones. This is harsh progressive post-Black Metal that is relentless and chaotic from start to finish with some really solid tremolo-picking melodies, inexorable atmosphere, and a complete disregard for humanity.
This work is a single 45 minute track, a monolith without pause and as relentless as totalitarianism.
Progresivní experimentální post metal ze Španělska. Digipack.
With sophomore album 'A Year With No Summer' featuring guest performances by Attila Csihar (MAYHEM) and Garm (ULVER), Spain’s OBISIDIAN KINGDOM move away from their extreme metal roots and towards a more progressive sound. There are still burning guitars and harsh riffing to be found, yet there is also simply much more of everything else. Contrasts, shifts, and raw emotions created and guided by intricate rhythm patterns, electronic tapestries as well as highlights are combined into a carefully composed musical painting of monumental dimensions. There are hints of the epic approach offered by such influences as PINK FLOYD and MARILLION, yet OBSIDIAN KINGDOM use a far darker range of colours on their pallet. There is a constant sense of drowning, darkness and depression threading through 'A Year With No Summer', which binds the wide stylistic range offered by its diverse song material together.
