  Joyless is the misanthropic pop band (influenced by The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Doors, etc.) that gave room for experimentation to the members of Forgotten Woods.
  After 4 years the Joyless ones will return with a new album, better than ever, this time adding instruments like banjo and harmonica.
  "Shadow Spree" is rambunctious and cheerful without loosing the bleak, melancholy drained atmosphere we're used to.
  This split, among other ones, serves as a teaser of what is to come.
  
  "Dekadent Aesthetix is a metal band from Romania formed by Emi-on all instruments and Cosmin Viciu-vocals in the winter of 2008.
  Having deep roots in Black Metal, the band constantly incorporates diverse and contradictory musical elements to achieve eccentric sounds that are not supposed to have a special appeal to any music scene.
  The music production is totaly minimalist, absolutely independent, and extremely low budget. There is no support from others involved in the production. All the music, concept, sound, production is done exclusively by the band."
  
  This is the first release of Dekadent Aesthetix, only having recorded a demo album in 2008.
  "Track 0" is mostly acoustic guitar-driven while "Shiny Morning" is more metal based. These songs should also give a hint of what the mentioned unreleased/upcoming album will sound like.

  Technical details:
  Printed on full colour reverseboard cover with matte finish; including a full colour double-sided insert page and a Joyless sticker made of PVC.

  "Absolutus are a Belgian band shattering the shelter of the unconscious since in 2003. Their lyrical content deals primarily with nihilism, metaphysical journeys, eerie experiences and psychology inspired by writers such as E.M. Cioran and F. Nietzsche. Starting out as a traditional black metal entity, their absolution shifted towards a more aesthetical and experimental approach." - .A.E.R.
  
  New album clocking just over 33 minutes, however it requires much more time to absorb all the layers carefully composed into it. No wonder it took many years to materialize (among other reasons). Dissonance is key here (think Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega,..) and it's well balanced with both dark ambient and metal parts. You will find a more matured band on here; check on youtube but get the tape to experience the full warm sound from your speakers.

  6,00 EUR 2,00 EUR

  Last copy.
  "Possibly their most demented effort yet, Brobdingnagian's new MCD "TortureStainedDisaster" is an insidious crawl through four loathsome tracks of the most nauseating order. Be it vile, pain-fuelled Black Metal or pensive experimentation with the sounds of the bleating masses, each song is guaranteed to bring a new kind mind-tearing agony to the listener. Lose the remaining shreds of your sanity to the wretched, lunatic screaming vocals, the labyrinthine guitar work and the constant presence of a warping, clawing shroud of appalling noise." - Rusty Axe Records

  11,50 EUR 5,00 EUR

  "An "alive and kicking" record that captures both periods from the band's existence: the demo stage - that reflected furious avantgarde black metal tunes and the new period that brings a fresh sound, a mix of extreme metal with post-punk, alternative and electronica influences.
  11 tracks that will keep you constantly awake, switching moods, feelings and views: from insane screams to melodic and emotional songs, from heavy riffs to electronica, from orthodox folklore based blasphemy to atmospheric psychedelic sounds." - GoatowaRex

  Forgotten Woods (Nor) - Sjel Av Natten

  [ Total Holocaust Records 2006 ]

  9,20 EUR 8,00 EUR

  "Truely one of Norways strongest Black Metal hordes and also one of those bands which has been an influence for several of bands. And for a very good reason. They have always had their own formula of making the Blackest of atmospheres come to life through their music. This album was released on a MCD in 1995 and has been sold out since a very long time. To honour this forgotten album I together with Forgotten Woods did plans for a re-issue which now is at hand. Featured on this album is the three original tracks as well as two previously unheard tracks which are taken from rehearsal tracks that has only been in the hands of the band previous to this. So no matter if you have the original copy of this or not, it's sure a worthy addition. The album comes also with totally reworked layout in a luxurious fold out booklet. Nothing more to add here really, a Black Metal classic that should not be overlooked." - Total Holocaust Records

  Last copy.
  "More than five years after the unholy pact to resurrect this demo was sealed, and 13 years after it's original recording, the official cd repress of Hekel their first and only demonstration cassette 'Doodskou', will finally be released soon. This 1998 demo of unhuman black metal, performed with painful vocals and pure evil out of this world, cloaked in a dark, hateful and spiritual aura, left a big impression on the Dutch underground, recorded in a time before internet-hypes, image-driven "black" metal kids and easy-listening pop metal. Only few bands still have this kind of dedication nowadays... After the 'Doodskou', Hekel dissapeared back into their forest, but in 2006 they emerged with their first full-length album 'De dodenvaart'." - Heidens Hart

  Hypothermia (Swe) - Kaffe & Blod II

  [ Unjoy Art & Ritualia 2017 ]

  8,00 EUR

  "Following the idea of the 2008 demo, Kaffe & Blod II continues the intrinsic journey of solitude and forest wanderings translated into an intimate yet fragile sound that will make listeners think it was recorded together with the original 'Kaffe & Blod', instead of almost 9 years later. At the same time, it shows the beginning of a new era for Hypothermia, with a four piece line-up, introducing the first recordings of bass player Phil A. Cirone and drummer Santino van der Aa. Main man Kim Carlsson as well as Hans Cools take on guitars, while E.B. has offered her violin once more, as she did before on 'Svartkonst'. Recorded live in Brussels in the first week of January 2017, being mixed and mastered by ex-guitarist Johannes Abrahamsson, Hypothermia shows its very essence once more."

  Lönndom (Swe) - Viddernas Tolv Kapitel

  [ Eisenwald 2010 ]

  11,80 EUR 8,00 EUR

  "After a longer time of creation the swedish duo returns with a complete acoustic album. 12 tracks that witness of great creative force and a wonderful, homogeneous and open-style album of rare beauty. A journey, an honest confession to nature and at the same time an escape from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and modernity. The magic of folk is brought back by isolated and melancholic feelings reminding us our own evocative strength. Visions of thoughtful solitude evoke the melancholy of a lost time, turn back the wheel to forgotten ages. Listening to these songs is like seeing through the eyes of a northern-land wanderer: wide landscapes wearing the autumn colors, snow covered mountains under clear blue sky, endless horizons and feeling the warm hearths of grandfathers families. Dive into "Viddernas Tolv Kapitel" and experience a profound emotional journey !" - Eisenwald
  Folk / acoustic music. One half reminds of Johnny Cash while the other half reminds of Ulver era "Kveldssanger".

  Whirling (Swe) - Faceless Phenomena

  [ Eisenwald 2010 ]

  10,30 EUR 5,00 EUR

  "Avantgarde Dark Metal from sweden, featuring members of ARMAGEDDA (rip) and BERGRAVEN ! This unconventional brainchild out of Sweden still borrows from the Black Metal range its members bring with it, however it surprises with crafty obscure and complex music, rich with songs and instrumentation. An unconventional and disturbing travel - easily drifting away from the usual metal genres. "Faceless Phenomena" means nothing that we can foresee, densly layered music, moving skillfully between fragility and powerful outbursts, graceful melodic and twisted imaginery. Impeccable individual riffs nail deep the mood, let you grow and also fall with the alluring songs. Try to imagine a mix of VEB BUENS ENDE, CODE and BERGRAVEN, it's time to make the decisive twist !

"Ljuset is our plunge into the unknown, a natural development for unnatural minds, severing the ties of what were and setting sail for the light at the horizon". 11 new tracks, including a new recorded version of "Summon the lord of blasphemy". Words fall short when you are opening your mouth towards this twisted masterpiece. Comes with 16 page full colour booklet. With paintings drawn by D-778 of Ritual of the cloven Hoof. Extra-ordinary (unorthodox) paintings, only body fluids have been used in order to produce his paintings. All lyrics are on Swedish (as always) except for "S.T.L.B" and "Across the fields of forever" which is an Edge of Sanity cover, and also some minor parts of some tracks are spoken/sung in English. A mad mans wet dream." - Total Holocaust Records

  Yurei (Nor) - Working Class Demon

  [ Adversum Records 2010 ]

  10,50 EUR 8,00 EUR

  "Yurei is the Norwegian musician Bjeima's musical and psychic ground zero. His debut, "Working Class Demon", is a tribute to all things dark, deranged and downright weird. Bjeima takes a suicidal plunge into madness, anxiety and psychosis, coming up for breath only to spit out brilliantly woven gems of alternative, discordant and melancholic rock. For those who expect the unexpected - this is a gem wrapped in a suicide note.
  4 panel digisleeve." - Adversum Records
  This is a part of the breath of fresh air that is coming from these fine new creators on the newly born Adversum Records. Heavily recommended.

    Vermeth (Fra) - Suicide Or Be Killed!

    [ Drakkar Productions 2008 ]

    13,00 EUR 8,00 EUR

    "Black Legion Metal - Chris Moyen cover art! Seven years after... A new obscurity arises from Lord Belth's Rim's satanic mind. What to expect ? Nothing more than a new manifestation of the Black Legions anti-human spirit, still the same after all these years. After a short horrific and ritualistic intro,you go back in time. In time when Black-Metal was a horrible manifestation of Evil. When Black-Metal wasn't for everyone's ears.When it was hated by most people. Like in 1990. Or better, in 1985. It's no surprise that one of these years' trademark album : BATHORY's The Return, has left its mark on VERMETH's current work. Think of more thrashy, dynamic songs that reek evilness on each note. Open your ears on the opening track or "Malediction" for example ! Or the solo on "Necromancer" that sounds like those on the timeless Under The Sign Of The Black Mark. However, improved compositions and playing - a real drummer is present now, don't make these songs an easy and joyful listening. Nor is this album another "old-school" album. This album doesn't aim at being original, yet it is unique. Like all Black Legions releases were. The older demons still haunt your nightmares. And VERMETH may turn them into grim reality." - Drakkar Productions

    Fleurety (Nor) - Ingentes Atque Decorii Vexilliferi Apokalypsis

    [ Aesthetic Death Records 2009 ]

    6,00 EUR 4,00 EUR

    Last copy.
    ""Ingentes Atque Decorii Vexilliferi Apokalypsis" features the first new recordings by Fleurety since 1998. This band from Ytre Enebakk, Norway, has been hailed as one of the originators of the style that has lately come to be known as avant-garde metal, a status earned through their albums "Min Tid Skal Komme" (1995) and "Department of Apocalyptic Affairs" (2000) - plus the EP "Last-Minute Lies" (1997). The songs featured on "Ingentes Atque Decorii Vexilliferi Apokalypsis" are re-recordings of material from the early nineties. The song "Descent into Darkness" was first featured on Fleurety's first and only demo, "Black Snow" (1993). As this song did not fit in with the rest of the material on the debut album, it was never properly recorded - until now. This new recording features guest drummer Hellhammer and guest bassist Necrobutcher, both well known from the legendary black metal band Mayhem. Vocals are performed by Runhild Gammelsæter, also known from bands such as Thorr's Hammer, Khlyst and Sunn O))). The second song, Absence, is a remake of a track Fleurety recorded exclusively for the compilation album "Blackend Vol. 1" (1995). This recording also features the bass work of Plenum (Virus, Audiopain) and the drum work of Bjeima (Delirium Bound, Swarms). Both songs show the more traditional metal side of Fleurety, with an old school grimness not heard from the band since the "A Darker Shade of Evil" 7" EP (1994). But beware! There are also indulgent leaps into disco noise territory. The cover artwork has been made by Trine & Kim Design Studio. The record is pressed on heavy duty white vinyl and - Hey! - there is a sticker somewhere inside the sleeve as well. This release is the first in a series of new Fleurety recordings only available on vinyl. The next release "Summon the Beasts" - the first with brand new Fleurety material since 2000 - can be expected in early 2010." - Fleurety

    CRS002 Joyless (Nor) / Dekadent Aesthetix (Rom) split (with sticker)

    [ Dismal Cursings 2009 ]

    5,90 EUR 4,00 EUR

    Joyless is the misanthropic pop band (influenced by The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Doors, etc.) that gave room for experimentation to the members of Forgotten Woods.
    After 4 years the Joyless ones will return with a new album, better than ever, this time adding instruments like banjo and harmonica.
    "Shadow Spree" is rambunctious and cheerful without loosing the bleak, melancholy drained atmosphere we're used to.
    This split, among other ones, serves as a teaser of what is to come.
    
    "Dekadent Aesthetix is a metal band from Romania formed by Emi-on all instruments and Cosmin Viciu-vocals in the winter of 2008.
    Having deep roots in Black Metal, the band constantly incorporates diverse and contradictory musical elements to achieve eccentric sounds that are not supposed to have a special appeal to any music scene.
    The music production is totaly minimalist, absolutely independent, and extremely low budget. There is no support from others involved in the production. All the music, concept, sound, production is done exclusively by the band."
    
    This is the first release of Dekadent Aesthetix, only having recorded a demo album in 2008.
    "Track 0" is mostly acoustic guitar-driven while "Shiny Morning" is more metal based. These songs should also give a hint of what the mentioned unreleased/upcoming album will sound like.
    
    Printed on full colour reverseboard cover with matte finish; including a full colour double-sided insert page and a Joyless sticker made of PVC.

  CRS004: Absolutus (Bel) - Pugnare In Iis Quae Obtinere Non Possis

  [ Dismal Cursings / .Abstruse.Eerie.Radiance. 2015 ]

  4,00 EUR 3,75 EUR

  "Absolutus are a Belgian band shattering the shelter of the unconscious since in 2003. Their lyrical content deals primarily with nihilism, metaphysical journeys, eerie experiences and psychology inspired by writers such as E.M. Cioran and F. Nietzsche. Starting out as a traditional black metal entity, their absolution shifted towards a more aesthetical and experimental approach." - .A.E.R.
  
  New album clocking just over 33 minutes, however it requires much more time to absorb all the layers carefully composed into it. No wonder it took many years to materialize (among other reasons). Dissonance is key here (think Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega,..) and it's well balanced with both dark ambient and metal parts. You will find a more matured band on here; check on youtube but get the tape to experience the full warm sound from your speakers.

  "Aristocratic Ethereal Black Metal - Some of you waited for this album for so long. The Delhÿs–cätess tape was an appetizer, but here you get the real thing. And good news, it's stronger than before. Now the synths now remains discreet and give their full place to other instruments and the unique voice of Noktu. Then we can fully realize that the band has matured and evolved but not lost its unique touch. Along these eight tracks, one can hear that it's not simply the old CELESTIA : while the melancholic and morbid spirit is still here, it's now supported by more ideas, more atmospheres, more variety, more acoustic parts, and more subtlety too. But for sure still in the service of the Black Art." - Apparitia Recordings

  Decision At Sundown (Ger) - Through Waters

  [ Choirs Of Delusion 2009 ]

  4,00 EUR 3,00 EUR

  "Through Waters" is the debut EP of the German project Decision at Sundown, solely run by pw. A few might recognise the name since he already did intro and outro ambientscapes for the German Dark Metal band Isolation. After having been recorded back in 2007 already, this marks the first self-contained appearance in music history for DaS. "Through Waters" takes you on an instrumental journey of doom metal heaviness mixed with organic ambient sounds. Wait... doom / ambient projects are quite common nowadays, right? Unfortunately alot of those sound like the band realized while recording that their instruments weren't tuned so they got bored and simply put them down without switching them off nor stopping the recording. But Decision at Sundown is far from that, trust me! These 20 minutes form a wholistic monolith out of its different aspects, which must be experienced. Because of that, chosing a sample was unthankful business and therefore I can only advice you to judge this record as a whole. If you are by any chance into crushing doom riffs and darkest ambient soundtextures get your ticket and enjoy the ride!"

  Kailash (Ita) - Kailash

  [ Choirs Of Delusion 2009 ]

  3,80 EUR 3,00 EUR

  "The self-titled debut album by the Italian avantgarde black metal band Kailash first saw the light of day in 2006, on a cdr released by the Italian label Traceroeuno. A year later Paradigms Recordings from England printed a limited run of professional CDs. After listening to this great piece of art, we were happy to join ranks with these labels and do our share of supporting this album by doing the cassette version. Drawing influences from (progressive) rock and metal, black metal of course and even classical music Kailash brew their very own brand of modern extreme metal. Seldomly I have heard blastbeats and harsh vocals melt so perfectly together with jazzy, progressive moments, which even feature the use of a saxophone. Forget all those bands who try to pump every possible element into their metal and end up either like a sampler or a teenager's drug experiment gone wrong. This very band doesn't sound anything like that. While Kailash reminded me instantly of Ved Buens Ende and also of later Ulver or Code, it is a miracle to me, why this release didn't get more of the attention it deserves in my opinion. To everyone who consideres himself a fan of modern black metal with intelligent arrangements and progressive elements, I can only raise my voice to say: "Do not ignore this great album!" - Choirs Of Delusion
