Anu / Set – Eternal obscurity / Dominus profanum (split LP): Obscure USBM and elite death metal split. Two cult EPs finally out on vinyl LP. Extremely limited edition.
Bortglömd – Haunting calls (MC): Isolationist black / doom metal. Recorded in the Swedish snow clad forests in hate for humanity. Stripped down, introvert and pure black metal like a mix of Hädanfärd and Austere / Woods Of Desolation.
Cultus / Pest – “Werelden ten onder / The ancient sleep” split LP – new material from both bands. Originally scheduled as the 200th Heidens Hart release in its 25th year of existence. Delayed by some years, but finally out now;
Pest – “Schwarze Visionen” MLP – The classic and weird 1998 demo on vinyl. Original audio, original artwork;
Pest – “Vado mori” LP – Amazing album of German black metal with hysterical voices. Lots of tracks on this album that grew out to become classics for the band;
Pest – “Tenebris obortis” LP – The own style of riffs and structures that were present since the debut demo further evolved into more chaos and fury.
Out now: Heimdalls Wacht “Ursprung” MCD. In 2009, Heimdalls Wacht did a split with Heervader and Winterlieke. The split CD sold out instantly and the lengthy track “Threnos” became a favourite song for many people. Except on a limited compilation tape, the track was not reissued due to various reasons. The song marked a part of what was to be come three pieces of a puzzle that should be seen as a whole, with the two other parts released on later albums. Now the circle is complete and it’s time to bring them together. These songs are very important and even quintessential pieces of art for Heimdalls Wacht. After years of requests, we decided to unite the three “Ursprung” songs together on one release. The listener may know the other two parts appeared on “Ut de graute olle Tied – Deel II” and “Mystagogie”. All tracks are now compiled and united on this “Ursprung” EP.
Also available again on t-shirt and girlie: the Logo/Rune in dark grey on black.
Front print only. B&C E190 cotton. Printed in Germany.
Compilation of the “Eine verlorene Seele” debut album, “Endlose Suche” demo plus other material from the first era of Todesstoß.

Some of my favourite pagan black metal albums released last year are Gromoverzh, Theudho, Rites Of Tara, Slavland, Wojnar, Diabolical Fullmoon. Let’s continue those standards and start 2024 with two anticipated full lengths in the genre. Two albums that can both be described as pagan black metal though they do not sound alike at all.
Drunemeton – “Tir Nan Og“. Highly recommended to fans of Graveland, Bathory and Ancestors Blood. OUT NOW!
Drevorod – “Anthems of Soil and Stars“. Highly recommended to fans of Drudkh, Temnozor and Nokturnal Mortum. OUT NOW!
