New album True Black Dawn "Come The Colorless Dawn"



It's been 15 long years since Finland's TRUE BLACK DAWN released an album. Back then, the band were monikered simply BLACK DAWN before a no-name American band threatened legal action and forced a change to TRUE BLACK DAWN. During the '90s, the band had made its name in the black metal underground with a handful of demos, most significantly 1993's War Against Christians. But come time for their debut album, 2001's Blood For Satan became an immediate classic in that underground with its cryogenic distillation of filth and fury, a horrific and histrionic beast of dead-cold dread. Very much "just" a black metal record but by no means hindered by this stark and simple fact, Blood For Satan helped kickstart Finland's dominance of the black metal scene during the new millennium.

New album Teloch "Thus Darkness Spake"



We are proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Teloch, Thus Darkness Spake, set for international release on May 20th. 

In a country already rich with black metal, Finland's Teloch offer a unique and extremely personal twist to their homeland's prevailing paradigm. Formed in 2007 by J.R. (Blood Red Fog, ex-Verge), Sota (Saturnian Mist, ex-Verge), T.I. and J.K., the band recorded only one demo, Towards Perdition, which was released that same year. Two years later, in 2009, Teloch released their debut album, Morbid Prayer, which garnered acclaim in the black metal underground. After the release of Morbid Prayer, the band hid in shadows for some years to prepare a new mini-album. Unleashed in 2012, Descent-Ascend continued Teloch's upward trajectory - just the mini-album's title - expanding their themes of left-hand-path religious mysticism with a bolder vision of black metal, and in the process garnering even more acclaim. During this time, the band excelled in the live arena, playing often (unlike most black metal bands) and receiving high praise from local crowds. Longtime bassist Vomor left the band in 2012 and was replaced by V.L., known from Blood Red Fog first as a session member but joining the band fulltime soon after.

New album Draugnim "Vulturine"



6 years after their previous release, DRAUGNIM, the Finnish masters of Melodic Pagan Black Metal, are finally proud to reveal the cover and tracklist of their much awaited new offering, "Vulturine".
During the seemingly endless silence, the band lost none of their incomparable ability to compose huge songs possessed of an incredible emphatic feeling, filled with poignant harmonies and evocatively powerful riffs.
