Deafheaven was formed in 2010 by vocalist George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy. They released of their debut studio album Roads To Judah in 2011 and followed it with scrappy, rabid live shows. It maybe wasn’t obvious in those days, but Deafheaven have always had a knack for desolate and literate romanticism.

This became clear with the release of Sunbather in 2013. "Dream House," the majestic opener from the San Francisco group’s Jack Shirley-produced breakthrough album, focused on growing up poor and wanting more. The album, which found the group a larger listenership, was the sound of two friends finding the right collaborator (in drummer Daniel Tracy) and realizing their potential by creating music that somehow embodied the transitory magic of sunspots drifting across a hardwood floor. Featuring gorgeous pink cover art by Touché Amoré ’s Nick Steinhardt, Sunbather was also the first time Deafheaven knew how to control all aspects of their project. Following the recording of the record, they added guitarist Shiv Mehra and bassist Stephen Clark—each subsequent live set felt like a religious experience for the bigger (and bigger) shows that followed.

A year later, in 2014, the band released From the Kettle Onto the Coil, the precursor to their forthcoming third album, and first for ANTI-, 2015’s New Bermuda. Produced again by Jack Shirley and featuring that expanded lineup of Mehra and Clark, New Bermuda was again art directed by Nick Steinhardt, but instead of pink, the band used a dark oil painting by Allison Shulnik for its cover that depicted what looked like a melting face. The image matched the band’s further deconstructing of metal, which offered a bleaker but no-less-triumphant tapestry. New Bermuda was heavier, sturdier, and more grounded in the dirt than Sunbather. McCoy mentioned the death metal of Dissection, Morbid Angel, and Behemoth, along with Cliff Burton-era Metallica as influences, but as a testament to his and Mehra’s brilliant playing, you can still hear remnants of “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” in the songs. New Bermuda is a kinetic, cathartic collection that mixes beauty and depression, shining lights and suicide. For many, it was the group’s most fully realized offering to date.

Deafheaven’s new fourth album, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, is another revelation. Working with old friends again, the Shirley-produced and Steinhardt-art directed collection gets its title from Graham Greene’s novel The End of the Affair, referencing a moment when someone is looking for love, in all of its imperfection and simple beauty. This sentiment is carried throughout the hazy, yearning romanticism of the record with song titles and words as sumptuous as the sounds around them. It’s a feeling of a loved one growing distant, medicating yourself with empty sex with strangers, and tears in a place faraway from home.

Taking more literary cues, the lyrics to the expansive “Honeycomb” reference seminal Argentinian writer Julio Cortazar, author of the elaborately structured stream-of-conscious novel Hopscotch while another song, "Canary Yellow," includes the line “I have wondered about the language of flowers.” Theres an abundance on Ordinary Corrupt Human Love—layered psychedelic vocals, classic rock riffs, jazzy percussion, a song reminiscent of Slowdive—and it all makes sense within the Deafheaven universe. Piano, always an element of the band’s sound, has a more prominent place here. It drives “You Without End,” which opens with the forlorn spoken word of Nadia Kury, who reads a moment from a short story by Oakland author Tom McElravey depicting the poetry of small, basic moments: you light a joint, look at a mural, burn yourself, and gaze at a surprise flock of geese flying overhead. In addition, Chelsea Wolfe and her regular collaborator Ben Chisolm add vocals and production to the dusky piano piece, “Night People.” Still, it’s all clearly Deafheaven. These songs have forward momentum and upward lift, Clarke’s pained howls and snarls and growls.

Defeat has inspired some of our best art. If you survive something terrible, you surface on the other side, walk toward the light, and come back to life. Everybody deals with hurt, everybody’s been the cause of their own implosions, and everybody has the capacity to overcome and love again. With Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, Deafheaven have found a way to externalize all of this, and in making their most complete record to date, they turn it into a balm, a warm blanket, and a cathartic exorcism.

Nobody said it's going to be easy. When ENTHRONE DARKNESS TRIUMPHANT was released an hithero obscure shadow emerged from the shadows of the Norwegian black metal underground and took the hearts of all fans of dark, aggressive and dramatic music by storm.

Dimmu Borgir became a synonym for the success of the most extreme and radical underground trend the heavy metal genre ever witnessed. Extensive touring and performances on all major european festivals showed the aesthetic power their majestic embodiment of evil wielded over the uninitiated. The charts of several european countries where confronted with the devil's music in undisguised splendour. Most of those fairytales are normally not destined to last forever. And I still hear the moanings of the self-styled underground elite about undue commercialisation, I still see the warning hands of morality, trying to ward of this satanic threat. Alas, none of these positions are going to last longer than the release of this album, the fourth in Dimmu Borgir's still young career.

They took the commercial success of its predecessor as an encouragement to delete all 'nice' elements from their future efforts. SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSION is an intense and passionate document of their uncompromising lifestyle and their spirituality beyond the articles of faith represented by society and religion. The extent of their dedication to their own universe is visible in every single song. Myriads of miniscule details form the greater, grandiose structures. Far from being onedimensional every song is at the same time pompous and relentless, tempting through its beauty and repulsive from its crushing heaviness. Between these apparent contradictions lies the power of this music, so that even the aforementioned warning hands of morality will turn around to see the head banging in a magical trance. Obviously it is not the godlike power of the fairytale's narrator, but hard work that made this album as perfect as it is. Especially the newfound members Astennu (guitar) and Mystis (keyboard) play an important role, they brought in the complexity that will make SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSION an album not to be removed from any player for quite a while. Also one special guest is to be found on these tracks.

During the recording session in the renowned The Abyss studio with the famous black metal producer Peter Tägtgren they brought in Borknagar's vocalist Simen Hestnæs (who also sang in Arcturus). His outstanding and eery singing is like the wailing of the infernal choir next to Shagrath's dark poetry. It' s save to say that black metal will not be the same after this album.

Norway's DIMMU BORGIR have managed to become the most prominent and important Melodic Black Metal act around the globe. As an intermission between "Death Cult Armageddon" and the next album, DIMMU BORGIR deceided to re-release their second album "Stormblast".

It turned out not to be a simple re-release: The band fully re-recorded the album for this occasion. With Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY) as producer and MAYHEMs Hellhammer on drums (Nick Barker departed in January 2005), the band wanted to add a new dimension to the album. The re-recorded version of "Stormblast" is even more intense and darker than the original.

Featuring all the members from Oath div. 666, Canadian quartet DISEMBODIMENT make their debut with Mutated Chaos, one intro and five huge tracks of filthy and rancid Death Metal!

Disembodiment is a four-piece death metal band from the sewer ruins of Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, featuring all four members of Oath div. 666.
The band was formed in 2020 after it was decided to start a new band because the new lyrical themes (death, oblivion, horror, nightmares and dark fantasy) would not fit the former band.
The band also distanced themselves away from the Boss HM2 sound which was at the core of their former band, they opted to go for filthier and heavier sonic tormentation.

"It's filthier than a gas station bathroom, with riffs as explosive and putrid as a freshly lanced boil. It's also one of my favorite death metal albums of the year, and I am very glad that this finally got pressed on wax. I'll take one in piss yellow." - PannionSeer

Eivør - Live in Tórshavn 2LP

Live in Tórshavn is a selection of 16 Eivør instant classics from her albums Room, Bridges and Slør. The songs were selected from the recordings of three consecutive shows in the Old Theatre in Tórshavn - Faroe Islands, 2017.

Eivør´s unique blend of Faroese tradition and various contemporary impulses transcends borders of musical genres with her modern yet timeless musical expression. “Live in Tórshavn” offers a great selection of her songs and displays her undisputed talent as a songwriter and what a truly extraordinary live-artist she is. To quote Eivør herself: “The live show is my thing, and the songs truly come alive to me when I can reflect them back to an audience.” 

Long-time friends/collaborators Mikael Blak (bass, synths), Høgni Lisberg (drums, vocals) and Hallur Johnsson (FOH engineer) are an essential part of the live show Eivør has been building since the release of her latest album Slør (2015). Live in Tórshavn is the natural continuity of the studio albums, giving them a second life and taking the songs further into the territories of Alternative, Rock, and Folktronica. Interpreting her roots in a modern way and attracting more people from all ages and all crowds, Eivør plays music for the soul and delivers breathtaking performances, hitting notes that only a handful could reach with such precision and grace.

Eventually there comes a time when the hype about a band becomes superfluous, and their status alone speaks volumes. Such is the case with EMPEROR, the black metal gods hailing from Telemark, Norway. EMPEROR has become known as one of the originators of symphonic Black Metal that Norway is internationally renowned for. All the bands back catalogue has been re-mastered by Turan Audio with full guidance from the band, albums have also been recut on half speed masters at the famous Abbey Rd studios, with all vinyl art work being carefully restored to how it originally came out by "Dan Capp" Design and illustration to create beautiful vinyl re issues.

Formed in 2016, ENFORCED picks up where Sepultura and Cro-Mags left off and infuses their own volatile, hardcore fury into the hardcore/thrash crossover sound of the late '80s. Fronted by a voice that could only belong to that of a madman and unloading nonstop blazing riffs and pummeling breakdowns in every track, the band demolishes everything in their path, leaving a trail of smoldering wreckage and pure decimation anywhere they perform.

ENFORCED's impending At The Walls LP features a remixed and remastered version of the 2017 demo and their "Retaliation" promo, and introduces two brand new songs to the mix. All tracks were recorded by Bob Quirk and mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Candy). In addition, Dwid Hellion (Integrity, Psywarfare) provides guest vocals to the track "Skinned Alive" who also created the apocalyptic album artwork for the LP.

Expect nothing but total war on stage from ENFORCED as they explode into 2019; a must-hear for fans of classic crossover/thrash from Nuclear Assault, Demolition Hammer, and Devastation, as well as modern shredders Skeletal Remains, Foreseen, and War Hungry.

Deluxe edition LP includes a 24' x 36" poster.

"Axioma Ethica Odini" Re-Issue on Black 2xLP 

Paired with the re-issue of "Vertebrae", as these two Enslaved-albums also form an important pair musically; as many of the bands releases do, forming pairs in dynamics sonically and conceptually. By now Enslaved was "up and running" with the turn to the more progressive and avant-gardist directions more or less completed with its more mellow predecessors - "Axioma Ethica Odini" came as a lightning strike from the golden heavens of Valhalla itself - with its more direct approach and songwriting.

A big part of the big leap forward in production was the transition to using the band's own studios in Bergen in addition to getting co-producer (and present drummer) Iver Sandøy onboard as well as recording parts in his Solslottet Studios, also in Bergen - and then taking all those recording over to Jens Bogren at Fascination Studios, Örebro, Sweden for mixing. The powerful sound that resulted set a new standard for both Enslaved and progressive Extreme Metal.

The By Norse Music (Ivar Bjørnson's own label) re-issue features two special songs recorded during the same sessions as the album and previously only released as a 7" single; the hypnotic ethereal "Migration" (inspired by Enslaved's collaborative commissioned piece at Molde International Jazz festival in 2008) and the doom-version of Frost-classic "Jotunblod" re-imagined for a special set at Roadburn Festival 2010. This issue features analytic and in-depth liner notes by Dom Lawson of Metal Hammer UK and Prog Magazine fame - a longtime friend and supporter of the band's uncompromising preference of the roads not taken.

The design of the album is beautifully redone with new details, colors layout solutions by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head), all while staying true to the original artwork by longtime Enslaved-cover artist Truls Espedal.

Roadburn Live is Enslaved’s first official live album, a split release between Roadburn Records and By Norse Music. Enslaved is a band widely known for being one of the best live bands in the scene. The album was recorded during one of band’s headline shows at the renown Roadburn Festival 2015; an edition curated by Enslaved’s guitar player Ivar Bjørnson.

Roadburn Live will be available on vinyl in limited and exclusive Record Store Day edition including an original A3 Roadburn poster and color sticker. The album features a brilliant layout created by highly demanded artist and Roadburn’s regular graphic designer Costin Chioreanu.

The album was mixed by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet Studio, mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth, Sepultura) in Fascination Studios. It is also the last official release with Herbrand Larsen on keys and vocals.

After celebrating 25 years in 2016 showcasing a majority of older material, « Roadburn Live » displays songs mainly from the « newer » and more progressive part of Enslaved’s career, with songs from “In Times”, “Riitiir”, “Isa”, “Below the Lights” and “Monumension”. The album features the guest appearances of E. Selvik (Wardruna), Aðalbjörn Tryggvason (Sólstafir), Per Wiberg (Opeth, Candlemass); and Menno Gootjes (Focus) on « Immigrant Song », the first cover song by Enslaved to ever appear on a record.

Grutle Kjellson comments on the album: "I'm generally not a huge fan of live albums, I like to be present at a show, to grasp the energy of the band and to witness the, sometimes, magical symbiosis that occurs between the band and the audience. I am, however, a huge fan of the Roadburn Festival! I consider this to be my all time favorite, both as a musician and as a guest. Therefore; if ever Enslaved were to release a live album, it had to be from a Roadburn show! I hope you will enjoy this piece of wax as much as we had recording it!"

Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, and did their first demo “Yggdrasill” in the summer of 1992, while the legendary mini-album “Hordanes Land” was released the year after in 1993. “Vikingligr Veldi” came in the spring of 1994 and is Enslaved’s landmark debut album. Enslaved has released a total of 13 albums, and is widely known as an innovative force within Extreme and Progressive Metal.

Enslaved releases The Sleeping Gods - Thorn; a full-length album comprised of rare material from 2010/2011. For the first time this unique collection of experimental material, also connecting with their early roots, is available as an album.

The Sleeping Gods – Thorn will mark the conclusion of Enslaved’s 25th anniversary year, and will be available in a LIMITED Enslaved 25 Web shop edition and a regular editions!

Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media (Roadburn Festival, Opeth, Darkthrone, At The Gates, etc.) did the beautiful new layout, including mesmerizing new illustrations, displaying a unique symbiosis between two of our times’ most exciting visual and sonic artists.

The songs originally appeared on extremely limited EPs between the full-length albums Axioma Ethica Odini and Riitiir, and is recorded both in Solslottet Studio in Bergen, as well as the band member’s own studios and partly in the deep woods of Valevaag on the south-west coast of Norway. Like the songs itself, the production is a mix of old and new; high tech and no-tech – a mix of concepts that has been essential in achieving the signature sound Enslaved is famous for today. Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson from Enslaved co-produced the material together with long-time collaborator Iver Sandøy.

The album has lyrics sung in both Norwegian, English and Old Norse, and the theme centres on mythology and the esoteric side of the runes; as well as contrasting the Norse Ways as a polytheistic belief system to the monotheistic plague of the Big World Religions. The music nods respectfully to the wildly varying deities that make up the pantheon of inspiration for Enslaved, both “then” and “now”. There are traces of both proto-black metal of Bathory, the classic Rock and Heavy Metal of the 70s and 80s, the synthisized and sequenced masters of the 70s, prog-rock, world/ Norse folk music, Norwegian Black Metal of the 90s, modern classical music, goth rock a la Fields of the Nephilim and much more.

Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, and did their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, while the legendary mini-album Hordanes Land was released the year after in 1993. Vikingligr Veldi came in the spring of 1994 and is Enslaved’s landmark debut album. Since then the band has released another 12 studio-albums, the latest being In Times in 2015 – they have won 4 Norwegian Grammys and toured Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia with growing success for over two decades!

Enslaved and By Norse Music present "Tón Leithsla I - Hordanes Land": a very limited edition of the all-times classic as a picture disc, including exclusive content! Strictly limited to 500 copies and sold exclusively online.

"Tón Leithsla I - Hordanes Land" is the first opus in an exclusive By Norse Music series that celebrates the label's most iconic releases. The series title "Tón Leiðsla" is a construct that means "a graphic representation of a musical vision" and depicts the creative collaboration between the artists and By Norse Music at the core of these editions.

Each opus in the "Tón Leithsla" series features an illustration by Bergen-based artist Jannicke Wiese-Hansen and a unique poem created or commissioned by the artists. The "Hordanes Land" poem was written by Ivar Bjørnson and evokes the cross-over between History, Tolkien-influence and Norse mythology that was behind this iconic mini-album. The layout of the series was created by renowned artist Marcelo Vasco (Kreator, Slayer, etc.).

In March 2018, By Norse Music reissued Enslaved's debut EP "Hordanes Land" plus a bonus track as a full-length release. First released in 1993 as a mini 12" LP, "Hordanes Land" was also released a few weeks later as a split CD album with Emperor and is considered a key release in the development of Viking metal. The original songs were entirely remastered by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet Studio (Bergen, Norway) and the bonus track "Enslaved", first released in 1992.

Enslaved "Vertebrae" Re-Issue on Black 2xLP  

Paired with the re-issue of "Axioma Ethica Odini", as these two Enslaved-albums also form an important pair musically; as many of the bands releases do, forming pairs in dynamics sonically and conceptually. Already somewhat of a "cult classic", this is the album where the production philosophy of "new era" Enslaved was born, through the mentoring of mixer Joe Baressi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins) – recorded in Studio Studio, owned and operated by TNT lead guitarist Ronnie Le Tekrø (who also guests on the album).  

This By Norse Music (Ivar Bjørnson's own label) re-issue features two very rare cover-tracks recorded during Enslaved legendary live-appearance at Henie Onstad Museum, Oslo, Norway - in May 2011; one is Rush's "Earthshine" while the other is King Crimson's instrumental "Red". These covers set the rest of the album into context through highlighting two main influences for Enslaved's evolution from especially "Vertebrae" and onwards.  

The re-issue features in-depth liner notes written and edited by writer and long-time friend of the band Chris Dick; known for his decades of writing for the American Metal-magazine Decibel Magazine. The liner notes are written in the style of an in-depth and extensive interview with all five members on the album, where many new angles and golden nuggets of information never before divulged publicly.  

The design of the album is beautifully redone with new details, colors layout solutions by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head), all while staying true to the original artwork by longtime Enslaved-cover artist Truls Espedal.

New re-issue of Enslaved iconic debut album on silver vinyl! Limited to 1'000 copies worldwide

The astonishing new layout was done by Z. Bielak (Ghost, Mayhem, etc.), and includes four brand new illustrations specially made for this legendary album. Z. Bielak has stayed true to the ideals of the era (it was originally scheduled for release on vinyl in 1993); this 2LP Gatefold with illustrated pockets has been respectfully remastered for vinyl by Iver Sandøy; preserving every bit of original dynamics.

Enslaved`s 1st full-length album was co-produced with the legendary Pytten in the world famous Grieghallen Studio in Bergen, Norway. It was originally released on Deathlike Silence Productions, an Oslo based independent record label founded in the late 1980s. The infamous label was run by Euronymous, the late mastermind and guitarist behind Black Metal pioneers Mayhem.

This album has lyrics in Icelandic, and is a tribute to the Norse landscape, history and mythology. The compositions and production matches these themes with long horizontal songscapes, dense atmospheres and winds from the past.

Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, and did their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, while the legendary mini-album Hordanes Land was released the year after in 1993. Vikingligr Veldi came in the spring of 1994 and is Enslaved’s landmark debut album.

Glittering from the blackest heavens above, eyes of gleaming star shine possessing all that receive it, and haunting hearth and home by astral projection manifestation—descends that shimmering edifice of the Forest Temple. Built brick by brick by the sorcerous configurations of Pontifex Maximus, Lepidus Plague, infamous for his campaigns with Kommodus, began this hermetic quest in the age of 2019; but it would not be until the age of 2020 that the first true incantation would be evoked. This of the cosmos and the celestial leaves of the universal sphere tree, an incantation that is now made flesh by the iron visions of GoatowaRex unicorn revelry, upon the darkest spread of black vinyl wax.

Spectral Threads of a Cosmic Dreams is a crooning fantasy of crepuscular glory, a celebration of those that hide in the black between the stars and make grand lament of universal indifference. A dreamy descent into the depths of dungeon synth, these spectral threads bring the dust of myth to life once again, the frolic of psychedelic reverie made audial, hinting at those creatures which dwell beneath the mud and beneath the mind. A proudly mature, fully realised, and truly unique incantation; those seeking the hypnotic hymns of otherworldly delights and decay to fall upon, need seek for this spiritual succour no longer. The Spectral Threads of a Cosmic Dream soak the stars and make those dreams flesh, both light and dark consummating their creation of child shadow.

FULL OF HELL return with their highly anticipated new album, Garden Of Burning Apparitions. The new album, a genre-bending blitzkrieg of hardcore, grind and death metal, sees the band expand upon the very elements that have propelled FULL OF HELL to the forefront of extreme music over the last decade.

Produced by Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Garden of Burning Apparitions also sees FULL OF HELL adding new dimensions to their warp-speed hellscape. Guitarist Spencer Hazard and bassist Sam DiGristine's monstrous riffs now have an added noise-rock influence, while drummer Dave Bland commands the rhythm section at blazing speeds.

Lyrically, Garden of Burning Apparitions sees vocalist Dylan Walker exploring (anti)religion, life's impermanence and the fear that comes with knowing death is inescapable. "Industrial Messiah Complex” grinds organized religion to a pulp in under 90 seconds, while Walker contemplates the commodification of spirituality seen in America’s vast network of garish mega-churches and how these practices are at odds with true spirituality. Meanwhile, “Reeking Tunnels” rides a strident noise rock riff down into the sewer. It’s a metaphor for the physical and mental space we become trapped in when we live in a perpetual state of fear and hate. Elsewhere, justifiable ochlophobia propels the guttural death metal blast of “Eroding Shell.” Lyrically, the song seeks to capture our fear of the violent, ignorant mob—a scene glimpsed far too often in this volatile era.

In the end, FULL OF HELL’s boundary smashing has paid off again. “I think it’s good that we tried not to pigeonhole ourselves early on,” Walker reflects. “Because now, 10 years in, we have the opportunity to make whatever record we want, within reason, and people will follow along.”

FULL OF HELL make their Relapse debut with their most explosive album to date, Weeping Choir. Dynamic, pissed, and wholly urgent, the highly anticipated Weeping Choir is a definitive statement of intent by one of the underground’s most dynamic and virulent entities. FULL OF HELL have once again culled the extreme elements from hardcore, metal, and power electronics to redefine darkness and sheer brutality. Distorted guitars, and ominous, disparate electronics grind and gnash against rapid-fire drumming, as FULL OF HELL take themes of religion, loss, hatred, and set them ablaze. Recorded by the critically acclaimed Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio, Weeping Choir sees FULL OF HELL fully unleashed. Abrasive, confrontational, none equal!
