News May 2008
Just Released:

DKCD059-VERMETH(Fra) "Suicide or Be Killed" CD/12"LP 2008
Black Legions Metal. 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

DKCD049-ARGHOSLENT(Usa) "Hornets of the Pogrom" CD/12"LP 2008
TOTALITARIAN DEATH METAL- Arghoslent has always been met with controversy due to their lyrics that revolve around historical facts such as the slave trade, and other views about the world that aren’t exactly positive.
If there’s one reason this band is sure to stand out, it’s their extremely catchy guitar riffs. Not only are the riffs filled with energy, but they have a slight southern flair to them. This, when combined with the old school Dismember sounding death metal, gives Arghoslent an edge over similar bands. (...)Anyone who’s hated Arghoslent before need not even bother with this release, as they will likely to find it more of the same. However, previous fans and newcomers will find that even after six years this is a group who is every bit as intense and addictive as in the past, controversy and all. This will be an album that is near the top of many death metal fan’s lists come the end of the year, even with its lyrical content. (read more : www.cosmosgaming.com).

DKCD057-ARCANUS TENEBRAE "Odium in homines" CD I
This mysterious yet mature act offers us nine violent, raw and yet finely crafted songs that reek sheer darkness and misanthropy. Imagine something like BESTIAL SUMMONING with real songwriting, or WARLOGHE with better musicianship. Without forgetting some older roots – The Return anyone ?- too. No compromise here, both in spirit and quality. Hailing darkness deserves fine craftmanship. - 1 track available on the radio.

Just Released:

ARCD001-CELESTIA(Fra) "Frigidiis ApotheosiA : AbstinenciA GenesiiS" CD/ Gatefold 2xLP/Tape LP II 2008
Aristocratic Ethereal Black Metal - Apparitia Recordings ARCD001.
"What makes listening to a phenomenal CD like ‘Frigidiis Apotheosia Abstinencia Genesiis’ sublime is that it makes the listener inquisitive: How does Celestia create music with such despondent lyrics? How is the band able to have a perfect balance between riffs that are melancholic, but nearly jubilant while keeping a wondrous forlorn state of mysticism, like
discovering the corpse of a gorgeous woman?(...) The most apparent musical aspect of ‘Frigidiis Apotheosia Abstinencia Genesiis’ is that it is musically more miserable than its full-length
predecessor, ‘Apparitia Sumptuous Spectre.’ (...)The result is a CD that is a complicated mix of
raw Black Metal splendor with an ethereal aura never devoid of macabre intentions. In the sense
of classical music crashing into Black Metal despondency...(read more www.unholycult.com)
