"First time on vinyl, presented in Gatefold Sleeve on Double LP. Originally released in 2015 and carefully forged between 2011 and 2014, De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu showcases a magically crafted alchemical wedding between these two titans of drone ambient. The double LP features an exclusive bonus track. Troum navigates through cavernous, subterranean spaces where cyclical sounds reverberate towards impressive crescendos of icy noise, luminous drones and dramatic, guitar-driven ghostly melodies. Their truly unique soundscapes shine in a perfect symbiotic movement with the Swedish dark ambient maestro Peter Andersson. Engulfed in a hauntingly beautiful kaleidoscope of grey-ish melancholia, Raison D'etre comfortably walks deeply into Troum's vast territory, delivering his very own trademark of eerie tones, ominous sacral ambience and crystal-clear constructions. Airy lush enigmatic atmospheres live together with dark breathing, reverberant transformative drones. Rich and gorgeously layered. All sounds assembled and recorded by Raison D'etre (Peter Andersson) and Troum (Stefan Knappe, Martin Gitschel) between 2011 and 2014. All sounds processed, manipulated and structured by Peter Andersson. K-14 level mastering by Peter Andersson. Artwork by Ritxi Ostáriz. 2LP Vinyl Edition of 300 copies, gatefold sleeve, matte lamination, black paper inner sleeves. Eight tracks."

"Nordvargr's Resignation is a true tour de force that will stand as a true gem for any fan of the fringes of techno and electronic music. Nordvargr's Resignation project was initially born in 2008 exploring rhythmic and repetitive aspects of his musical output, merging elements of electronic music with dark ambient soundscapes. From its inception delving into the more gaseous realms of dubby techno and evolving through the years towards the harder and nosier side of electronics, Nordvargr's unique grasp of the genre and his will to turn it upside down culminates in a dreamy soundtrack-like voyage, where deep atmospherics are pierced by rhythmically hypnotic and abrasive passages. A true tour de force that will stand as a true gem for any fan of the fringes of techno and electronic music."

"Nordvargr returns to Cyclic Law with yet another crushing offering that follows in the footsteps of it's highly acclaimed predecessor Metempsychosis and develops the sound even further. Daath was recorded back to back with MZ. 412's Svartmyrkr and the creative maelstrom that infused that masterpiece also can be heard in Nordvargr´s solo efforts. The ambient parts have been put in the backseat in order to make way for heavy percussion, stringed and bowed instrumentation and thundering vocals delivered with serious intent. The title refers to the false sephira which also can be interpreted as the great abyss that needs to be crossed in order to attain higher knowledge; a fitting analogy for the ordeals that took place during the composition of this album as well as a perfect symbol of the new sound and direction of Nordvargr's creative universe. Standard Edition LP of 200 copies, matt laminated sleeve with printed inner sleeve on black vinyl."

"This unique collaboration between Sádon (RU) & Treha Sektori (FR) was intended to transpire what could be termed as 'the essence of death'. Death is common and a constant, yet always different in context but similar in outcome. It is always a mystery, and questions always abound from its unraveling. As darkness unfolds, the desperate soul searches for a resting place as hopes and silent prayers resonate across all lands. Recorded in Russia, Germany and France in 2017, we're honored to present this poignant and otherworldly album that touches deep within and again reaffirms the high compositional skills of these 2 artists. Long live death. Artwork by Dehn Sora LP Edition of 300 copies, Matt Laminated sleeve with printed Inner Sleeve on Black Vinyl."

"After putting ARCANA to rest in the past year, Peter Bjärgö has now channeled his creative energy towards his solo works. On what is now his fourth full length solo album, we are granted a calm, thoughtful and at times somber aural voyage. Melodic atmospheric guitar work, lush string arrangements and slow, heavy percussive rhythms are present and elevated to new heights. Written and recorded while beholding a wintry landscape in his newly built studio 'Asham Room', he's created a perfect balance of complex structures through his distinctive sorrowful, yet hopeful songwriting."

"Repress. Peter Bjärgö, the man behind the now legendary groups Arcana and Sophia is back with his second solo album. On his first solo release A Wave Of Bitterness, we got a glimpse into the mind of a thoughtful person. Now this new release, The Architecture Of Melancholy, we are sent onto a journey to the darkest depths of Peter's mind and thoughts. Melancholy was once a disease, a mental statement of chronic depression, we are now facing this illness again around the world and this album is a real journey with the melancholic mind. Titles like 'Bitteresque', 'Apathy and The Death Of Our Sun' give us an idea of the aural voyage ahead. The delicate blend of soft guitars, engulfing dark ambient and the sheer power of Peter's voice make this album a shining diamond among stones. Hope is all that is left..."

"Ambient ritual soundscapes that are profound and resonating, the music, artwork and concept behind Bod serves as an exploration and instalment of a new tradition of ritual and occult arts sourced from various ancient foundations. For this, a new culture with its own history, including a new language was constructed. The meaning created by Muur is but one interpretation of the new tradition; it is of great importance for every listener to construct their own meaning from their experience. Because of this, neither Muur, nor Bod is affiliated with any form of traditional Left Hand Path."

"Surreal, mysterious and poetic is how one could define the work of Danish musician and collage artist Paw Grabowski. His latest album Without Blood The Sun Darkens exudes feelings of the simplicity of being present, in the absence of absolute existence, pervaded by memories, moods and emotions, neither sad nor happy, fulfilled. It is about watching time, from faded memories of one's childhood to that feeling just before laying down between wanderings and stillness, looking at the darkening room just before you disperse and disappear completely into nothingness. Soothing and engulfing melodies that seems to repeat yet always evolving, a profound venture through melancholy. Edition of 500 copies in 4 panel Digipak."

"The source material and foundation for this album are field-recordings by Mathias Josefson collected on a journey through the deserts of the American Southwest and translated into an acoustic travel journal through a spectral landscape, where the edges of memory and imagination are blurred. Joining Mathias on this album is John Björkman, who performs on instruments acquired on his travels to Nepal and whose performance was recorded at the legendary Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm, Sweden. These recordings were later transformed by Mathias Josefson at the Eleventh Planet studio where Moljebka Pvlse merge their take on experimental drone music with hints of electroacoustic sounds from the sixties."

"After collaborating on each others previous albums and also working together as Det Kätterska Förbund the idea of messing with each others music came naturally. On this limited 7" you find Nordvargr giving Trepaneringsritualen´s Konung Krönt i Blod a gritty and in-your-face treatment and Trepanerinsgritualen putting together a whole band making his mammoth version of Nordvargr's Salve Teragmon. The result is as devastating as you could predict! Artwork by Dehn Sora & T × R × P. Limited edition of 300 copies, comes with exclusive sticker."

"Following 2018's highly acclaimed collaboration album with Russia's Phurpa, Frederic Arbour presents a new full length album under his Visions moniker. We are now presented with more grounded and melody based pieces than on his previous releases, which were more out worldly and exploring sonic expanse. Using a stripped back approach and forging new sonic territories, Temples also serves as a hymn to lost civilisations, and a gratitude for what can still be found and discovered from our predecessors. As societies fall, most of their temples and shrines seem to remain, perhaps, as a reflection of the materiality of spirit."

"We welcome Italian artist Alessio Antoni and his project Neraterræ. His debut album The Substance Of Perception is a daring collaborative work featuring some of the finest artists from the dark ambient, drone, cinematic, and ritual music scene: Northaunt, Alexey Tegin from Phurpa, Treha Sektori, New Risen Throne, Flowers For Bodysnatchers, Taphephobia, Ugasanie, Xerxes The Dark, and Infinexhuma. The sound palette shifts between both stark atmospheres, melancholic ambiance, and dense claustrophobic drones. Alternating between obscurity and light and oscillating between the ineffable detachment from the tangible and the relentless transmogrification of the self. Artwork by Nihil and Daria Endresen.

"After the success of 2018's Metempsychosis album, Nordvargr's most song-based recordings ever, we asked close friends and collaborators to create their own interpretations of songs from the album. The result is an interesting blend of styles and methods that expands the Nordvargr universe even further. With exclusive reworks by MZ. 412, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Vassafor, Visions, Kristoffer Oustand, Spetsnaz, Michael Idehall, Thorofon and The Benjamin Codex, the spirit of Metempsychosis mutates splendidly into new and unexpected territories.

"We're glad to welcome Belgian artist Peter Verwimp and his shamanistic guitar driven soundscapes. The first instalment for the Rites series touches on the importance of ceremony and ritual in our daily lives. It deals with our interconnectedness with nature as a whole and the necessity to acknowledge and use this connection as an amplifier of thoughts, ideas and emotions. Minimal, meditative ambient drones with layers of meandering guitars and voices mixing elements of doom, drone and ambient experimentation. Rites I & II take a shamanic and animistic approach to our surroundings, unveiling inner and outer visual landscapes, a journey through flesh, sound and spirit."

"We're truly honored to welcome US black ambient veterans Sutekh Hexen to the fold. Both defiant and meditative, their latest self-titled full-length and first studio album furthers the project's inquiry into opposition, endurance, and paradox. Both hypnotic and cruel, these ten highly charged tracks transgress yet again any previously imposed boundaries while upholding their raw ethos at its root, and at times defying the listener's expectations altogether. Though tempestuous as ever, with this work, Sutekh Hexen reaches across thresholds and thrusts longtime listeners into redefined spaces: haunted disorientation, surreal agony, the distress of buried forces surfacing, a revelation of black tongues. Each track is a rite of clandestine horror through a distillation of power-ambient, industrial, and black metal deconstructionism. This is a new era of Sutekh Hexen, and it is a sharpening of their blade, a merciless lucidity. Let there be light."

"We welcome Berlin based Italian Vince Gagliardi and his audiovisual project The Nent, whose dream-like aesthetic is rooted in a passion for broken ambient textures, eerie field recordings and poignant percussive elements. His debut album Vulner (mastered by Dadub Studio) offers 3 long progressions with explosive culminations. Mostly composed with field recordings and samples collected over the last sixteen years, all with a deep personal meaning. All tracks are interconnected and draw a path from innocence, to greed up to the inevitable extinguishment over time. The title Vulner defines a feeling of compassion to this cycle humans are vulnerably exposed to. His praised live performances infuse dark ritual rhythms and surreal visual imagery, constantly challenging abstract connections in the perceiver's mind."

"A new collective led by former Hadewych member Peter Johan Nÿland, also a recent member of Trepaneringsritualen. Etmaal ('natural day') is the first in a series of explorations that aim to serve as a channel between the ethereal and chthonic, sacred and profane, the innermost black well and the outermost white sun. The album follows the circadian path as an analogue to the revelation of the actual self, with the sun as the inverted eye that unveils all things in their temporality, opposite the eternal inner black of night. Sudden transitions between coercive percussive hammering and sharp boreal drone pieces seek to mirror cosmic events; from glacial movements to throbbing punctuation and sudden death and with each end resolved arises a new tension and an attempt at cleansing and delving deeper with the intent of finally arriving at the inner clearing. In the recording process for Etmaal, the group effectively alternated between states of extreme focus and hiati in which subconscious impulses were allowed to arise and the result is an album that skillfully wanders an essential pathway between two planes in its own distinctive way. On this album, O Saala Sakraal is a five-piece outfit that consists of four percussionists; Scramasax (Volksweerbaarheid/Hadewych/Distel), Rene Aquarius (Dead Neanderthals, Fantoom, Krishna), Patricia Manko (Hadewych), Donné Brok (Donné Et Desirée) and Peter Johan Nÿland (Distel, Hadewych), the latter who plays tapes and piano-string percussion instrument 'draak', next to regular percussion. The group first came together for a series shows as Hadewych with an extended percussion section, but it soon became clear that its pieces - partly composed, partly improvised - claimed a realm of their own and drifted away from the overall sound of Hadewych, into something more monolithic, mystical and opaque."

"New album of intense and carefully crafted soundscapes from Bulgaria's Shrine after his acclaimed 2016 album Ordeal 26.04.86. Based on the fictional story for Tomb Raider III, created by the British game studio CORE in 1998, the story begins in Antarctica millions of years ago, where a meteorite has crashed into the landmass and when the continent was still located in the tropics. Millennia later it was discovered by the ancient Polynesians who had reached the Antarctic coast and they soon realized that strange otherworldly powers surround the celestial rock and so the people began to worship it as a deity. After severe mutations started to occur among their newborn, the settlers fled in terror and never came back but before they left, they sealed the meteorite into a deep underground chamber, locked by four 'keys', four unique objects crafted from the same alien material as the meteorite itself. In the 19th century, a group of sailors travelling with Charles Darwin came to Antarctica and rediscovered the artefacts. The story follows the search for the four artefacts and the rediscovering of the meteorite, hypothesized to contain the most important findings in genetics and evolution since Darwin. We are aurally taken through this unique world through 6 singular chapters of pristine sonic grandeur. Artwork by Dehn Sora."

"Syvys is the second demonstration of how Finland's Otavan Veret decipher the pulse of the great cosmic filaments. The radiation from the distant otherness takes audible form in four pieces of ethereal, pulsating atmospherics, where the multitude of transmissions is implemented via a curious amalgam of electronic and acoustic sources operated by Kaarna & XVL. As a result Syvys reflects the many phases of a stellar journey in a dreamlike state, encountering both enchantment and anxiousness."

"Re-issue. Imagined as the end of a cycle, initiated with 2012's Endessiah album, Severh Sehenh is not really the third album from Treha Sektori nor an EP. It's to be seen an appendix, a specific chapter of time. It consists of a lone track, cut into different movements. The material was formally composed for live performances, with the overbearing urge of facing eyes, to live through them. Imagined as a burden to carry, a day we didn't expect, and a final step that is unknown. No way to unload what is on our shoulders. Acceptance is the only way to trace a new path. Peaceful times with hard thoughts. Rough moments with joyful feelings. saveh erh anth ah erah leh, We will save what ties our throats. deverh ah temehera. koreska enh, We will remember in our hands, the day when we lost."

Recorded in complete isolation, in a moment of reverence and fury to create something physical yet unreal, the album unveils a music based on breath, the cutting of this breath, deconstruction and descent, meditative and ultimately broken. Eyes open for all, a fine rain of dust and hands falls for ages. Sorieh for "Sweat", the sweat of those who decide to create and edifice to go above the sun, without suffering burns. The last ritual has begun."
