“Light Of A Dead Star”, their first album, originally released in 2002, is a landmark of early 2000s French black metal and stands as one of the purest expressions of cold, traditional black metal: raw yet atmospheric, minimalistic yet deeply immersive. Across its austere riffs, relentless drumming, and distant, spectral vocals, the album builds a bleak and nocturnal universe that echoes the spirit of the Scandinavian pioneers while shaping its own distinct, solitary aura.This reissue brings back an uncompromising work of darkness—an album whose chilling melodies, occult undertones, and relentless devotion to the genre have earned it a lasting cult status. A must-have for collectors and for anyone drawn to the colder, more ritualistic side of black metal.

Available in a limited edition six-panel Digipak Cd.

“Requiem Tenebrae”, their third album, originally released in 2004, represents a descent into cosmic desolation and marks the darkest and most atmospheric chapter of their discography, weaving distant, glacial melodies with an overwhelming sense of isolation. Each track unfolds like a litany carved in starlit voids, cold harmonies, ritualistic tremolo lines, and a suffocating black aura.

Available in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition.

“Shadows From The Past…”, their second album, originally released in 2003, returns to haunt the underground. A brutal yet atmospheric black metal offering: biting riffs, raw production, and sparse melodies take you into a cold and impious realm. From furious blasts to slow, meditative passages, this second work delivers the pure essence of Black Metal. Essential for fans of dark, uncompromising music.

Available in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition with 8-page booklet.

Malice (Our Third Spell), unleashed upon the masses in 1996, is GEHENNA`s second album and marks the end of the first legendary era of the band.
On the one hand, it`s on Malice (Our Third Spell) that both keyboardist Sarcana and drummer Dirge Rep made their last appearance on an album of GEHENNA. On the other hand, Malice (Our Third Spell) can be considered the last pure Black Metal album of GEHENNA since the successors saw the band shifting towards a more Death Metal oriented sound.
In general, Malice (Our Third Spell) is a logical continuation of the previous full-length and with its playing time of almost 60 minutes by far the longest album the band has ever released.
The most notable difference compared to Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness is the introduction of numerous riffs that have a traditional Heavy- or Thrash Metal feel to them making Malice (Our Third Spell) comparable to e.g. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant by DIMMU BORGIR.

The songs were completely new remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony to ensure the best possible sound for this timeless Black Metal classic.

Luxurious hardcover digibook double-CD including the complete demo-recordings of “Malice”.
It contains the new interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 28 pages booklet.

“The darkness always teemed with unexplained sound…” (HPL)

“Nahab” – the second part of the Disharmonium cycle – finds BLUT AUS NORD returning, as if by compulsion, to the Weird nightmarish otherworlds of H.P. Lovecraft to reflect them through a new mirror of terrifying Black Metal lunacy.

Descending into abyssal terrain akin to the twin dark chambers of 2022’s first instalment “Disharmonium – Undreamable Abysses” and companion-piece-of-sorts compilation “Lovecraftian Echoes”, this latest emanation is similarly womb-like, detail-rich, disturbed and transformative.

Musically influenced only by the band’s own extensive oeuvre, in comparison with BAN’s recent Lovecraftian explorations “Nahab” has an increased presence of deranged vocal mania, the eerie dynamics are more fully realised, the band’s unmistakeable melodic power amplified, the guitars – lower slung for extra resonance – flow in tandem with splendidly lurching grooves like some Stygian wooze-tsunami.

In the dead-eyed trance of one demonically summoned, BLUT AUS NORD have once again channelled esoteric folklore and modern violence into another phenomenal slice of outsider art which befits their own Mythos and monstrosity. A Crowning Horror indeed.

Deus Salutis Meæ (“God of my Salvation”) is the truly mesmeric new emission from BLUT AUS NORD, the great Black Metal innovator renowned for disdain toward convention and a murderous relationship with boundaries.

Using frightening alchemy and predatory cruelty, BLUT AUS NORD fuses each distinct era of its 23 year existence with innovative readings of cavernous, arcane Death Metal, the occult excesses of outsider Industrial and the abject hauntings of psychotropic Doom.

Ouroboros riffing loops in the incessant lurch and roil of renewal; astonishing microtonal harmonies ripple with the void-cadence of analogue synth; demented Hanneman/Belew leads slur in tangled abstraction; heads are remoulded in a percussive vice of beat-driven ecstasies; chanted incantations invoke the serrated mania of holy knives; tortured bodies speak in tongues of tether-end lunacy.

Held rapt, the unmistakable vestige of melodic grandeur lurks within each distressingly addictive phrase. This is a work of singular class from an artist who continues to remain vital.

Deus Salutis Meæ: the crepuscular entombment, the nocturnal ascension, the extraordinary apotheosis?

Remastered reissue of “The Somberlain”, the all-time classic debut album from the Swedish melodic Black/Death Metal band Dissection, originally recorded at Unisound Studios and released in 1993.
