Kompletní diskografie FALKENBACH v krásném boxu jako 9CD set. Všechna cd jsou v krásném digibook vydání s masívním bookletem. Velmi precizní práce od labelu Prophecy Productions. All major works of FALKENBACH will finally be made available in lavish CD box sets under the title "The Nine Worlds of Falkenbach (Manifestations 1995-2013)". These collectors' editions naturally include all of FALKENBACH's six studio albums from the cult debut " …En their medh riki fara…" (1996) until their latest full-length "Asa" (2013) with the addition of previously published bonus tracks such as 'The Heralder', 'Gjallar', 'Asaland', and all four extra songs of "Asa". A special highlight of this collection are the three much sought-after demos from early 1995/96- "Læknishendr", "Promo-Tape '95", and "...Skínn Af Sverði Sól Valtíva…". These true rarities have been carefully restored and remastered from the original master cassettes by renowned German musician and producer Patrick W. Engel and...

Album FALKENBACH z roku 2011 nyní vychází v krásném digibookovém vydání. FALKENBACH were originally conceived as a solo-project by Vratyas Vakyas and officially came into being with the "Læknishendr" demo in 1995. After the interlude of their fourth album, which partly featured reworked earlier material, the next full-length from the German composer and multi-instrumentalist who was again joined by musicians appeared to be a summary of all the elements from his previous works. "Tiurida" (2011) put the emphasis on the band's epic melodic pagan metal side, which was generously spiced with some earlier black metal elements. The album still evokes an overall impression of confident and experienced songwriting. FALKENBACH had reached the point where they not only exactly knew their musical destination but also how to get there.

Debutní album Farsot z roku 2004, vydané v reedici v roce 2009 na labelu Prophecy Productions jako digipack. With their self-released debut album "042103freitod" (2004), Farsot achieved some success right from the start - soon, they were considered one of the most promising newcomers in Germany's black metal scene. With their interplay between raw, mid-tempo black metal, sophisticated atmospheric guitars, highly emotional screaming and excellent growling, Farsot were creating a thoroughly dismal mood already on their first sign of life, inviting the listener to wallow in deep melancholy and 'Todessehnsucht' (yearning for death). With "042103freitod", Farsot laid the foundation of their career that was furthered with the release of their first album for this label, "IIII".

Black metal. Digipack. Německo. FAIL·LURE: a blend between "failure" and "allure". Based on Peter Greenaway's "Drowning by Numbers" as well as several Art Nouveau works (e.g. Khnopff's "Ishtar", Klimt's "Mermaids" and "Water Serpents", Kotarbinskis "Kiss of Medusa" or Schwabes "La Vague") Farsot, one of Germany's conceptionally most ambitious black metal bands, have conceived their third album. "FAIL·LURE" addresses the inevitable dilemma between fascination and mania, desire and disgust, power and weakness – the seeming rift between the sexes. It is an allegory of life as a not endless game that cannot be won. The cover, showing a sculpture by French artist Denis Lavoyer, reflects these topics. Female beauty idealized with branches for arms like threatening claws serves to perfectly visualize the main idea behind "FAIL·LURE". The involved concept is countered musically by Farsot's more spontaneous, intuitive approach, consciously refraining from "heady" leanings and patterns....

Black metal. Digipack. Německo. Four years after their much-lauded debut album "IIII," Farsot - one of the greatest hopes of German Black Metal - release their sophomore "Insects". On this album, the band from Thuringia once more breaks the bounds of Dark/Black Metal and presents a unique new definition of dark music, emphasising trance-like instrumentals as much as clear, conjuring vocals and many groovy passages.

Zbrusu nové album německé black metalové kapely. Velmi luxusní digibook vydání na labelu Prophecy Productions. The world of FARSOT is a bleak and harsh place. This pitch black realm is ruled by warring kings that are named Death, Fear, Grief, and Hatred. The Germans' signature musical handwriting has always been reflecting these dark avatars and their fourth album "Life Promised Death" is no exception. "Life Promised Death" is the true heir of all that FARSOT have done so far. What makes this album different is a higher density of sound and harsh riffing as well as surprisingly captivating songs that even border on being catchy. According to the band, this is due to Grunge having been a major source of inspiration for "Life Promised Death". What seems unlikely at a first superficial listening becomes audible at a more intense engagement with the album. Lyrically, FARSOT are spinning a suitably dark yarn that runs as a thematic thread throughout "Life Promised Death". The album...

Kooperace dvou německých black metalových kapel. On "Toteninsel", two of the most distinct names in German black metal join forces to put their own spin on a famous painting: Farsot and ColdWorld. Ever since their 2007 debut, "IIII", succeeding the "suicidal" demo "042103freitod", Thuringia-based Farsot have dodged the genre's common themes and trappings to develop a unique aesthetic for themselves. Steeped in it, the quintet's current, fourth album, "Fail·Lure" is a showcase in stylistic bravery, without being above honouring their roots. A long-time associate of the group, Georg Börner, is and was the sole driving force behind ColdWorld; an at times ambient-oriented projection of black metal whose icy soundscapes have unfolded in a comprehensive discography. The origins of "Toteninsel" lie way back, not least because of its subject matter - Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin's most famous and equally mysterious painting of the same name ("Isle of the Dead"), the first...

Black metal. Španělsko.

Velmi pozoruhodný ambient black metal z USA. Album z roku 2012 znovuvydané v reedici v roce 2019 na labelu Prophecy Productions. Digipack. Originators of Cascadian Black Metal, Fauna have made an incredibly deep imprint on the American metal scene. Utilizing both unrelenting black metal alongside periodic acoustic meditations, they stand as a truly unique force, impacting fellow artists Agalloch and directly influencing the development of Wolves in the Throne Room. But while these artists have thrived in the public spotlight, Fauna chose to stay in the shadows, and to remain quietly in the damp, wild forests of the Pacific Northwest. In 2012 “Avifauna” emerged as the latest album released by Fauna. The album explores the connections between bird flight and the human spiritual quest, centering around a dialogue between numinous Others and ourselves in a dance of interwoven meanings. With so much of the sound Fauna fans have loved from the previous two efforts, “Avifauna” is...

Velmi pozoruhodná americká ambient black metalová kapela. Album z roku 2007 znovuvydané v reedici v roce 2019 na labelu Prophecy Productions. Digipack. In 2004, the drive to explore shamanism and atavism (the reemergence of traits thought to be lost from the human biology and culture) birthed itself in the creation of Olympia black metal fury, Fauna. Originators of the scene we now know as Cascadian Black Metal, Fauna aims at finding antidotes to the woes of the modern age, and a cathartic expression of the contemporary soul longing for the old ways. On “The Hunt” (2007), which is their second album, Fauna particularly took the chance to explore another facet of the human experience - delving into the themes of initiation, hunter and the hunted, life and death, and the need to engage with unseen forces to sustain one’s people with life-giving bounty. “The Hunt” is a collection of soundscapes, blistering black metal, and haunting space. Using carefully crafted sounds recorded from...

Nové album německé black metalové kapely. Precizní náladotvůrný black metal s prvky klasické hudby. Digipack. SINGULARITÄTEN carries on FERNDAL`s way to to combine (Black) Metal with elements of classical music. But if you now think about orchestral keyboard sounds or kitchy samples, you are wrong, SINGULARITÄTEN is not that kind of artificially symphonic pop music! It is rather a confrontation, merging and crossover of the different compositional methods of Black Metal and classical music: There are Black Metal songs adapted in classical instrumentation (Klavierquintett in e-moll `Mother North`) as well as classical composition with Black Metal sound (`Serenade`) and everything in between. #### SINGULARITÄTEN was recorded, mixed and mastered in August 2018 in Hellforge Sutdio by Marco Brinkmann, `Mother North` was recorded by Michael Hierer in the concert hall of the conservatory Münster. Guest musicians contributed to the sound diversity with 4 cellos, grand piano, church organ...

V reedici znovuvydané třetí album Forgotten Tomb z roku 2004. Ponurý negativní depresivní black metal. Digipack. Itálie. The remastered and remixed version, including re-vamped layout and original cover, censored back in 2004.  Ferdinando 'Herr Morbid' Marchisio commented on the re-release: "We recently got back to Elfo Studio and reopened the mixing sessions for our classic 3rd album "Love's Burial Ground". The album has been hard to find for quite a while now and we felt it needed a proper re-release as we did with our first 2 albums recently. We were unsatisfied with a few details of the original release so we went there and improved our earlier mix. It retains all the original sessions and mix but we just refined a few things in the sound and remastered it all. Also, we added a few different details to the album title and tracklist and reintegrated the original cover-artwork, which was censored back then. Fans won't be disappointed since it's the best...

Desáté řadové album kultovní italské black metalové kapely. Forgotten Tomb's tenth studio album and follow up to "We Owe You Nothing" (2017). The album's cover artwork is a painting, specifically drawn for this release by artist Paolo Girardi (Power Trip, Bell Witch, Inquisition). It complements the misanthropic and introvert nature of music and lyrics alike. In a comment that encompasses everything from working on the album, to musical expectations and lyrical themes, the band had this to say: "Nihilistic Estrangement is our tenth album and it opens a new chapter of the band and possibly a new trilogy, therefore it sounds different from our previous release, which closed the past trilogy. The whole idea and concept behind the album was to make something detached from all the current trends in terms of style and production so that it would feel timeless and not chained to a particular frame in time. I chose specific vintage microphones from the 60s/70s for the studio sessions...
