The Highly anticipated 6th album of doom-laden, sludge-laced Black Metal!
CRUST have carved a unique path for themselves since their inception in 2014. They have released 5 acclaimed albums and toured extensively, fresh out of the fire of their incredible album “Wanderers” CRUST bring us further into the darkness with their latest opus “Where Light Fears To Descend”. With no aspirations of convention, CRUST have their roots firmly found balancing forward-thinking black metal and a dark, intelligent tapestry of bleak atmospherics and doom-laden Stoic mysticism. It is this dark essence that brought them to the attention of legendary USBM label Moribund Records and it was not long before an infernal pact was sealed.
CRUST's sixth album “Where Light Fears To Descend” is their most powerful and mature work to date, a monolith of bleak Avant-garde Black Metal weaving a dark cloth that is as profound as it is mesmerizing. 9 tracks to drag your soul into the abyssal pit of despair, where no light can shine and all hope erased. Abandon all hope ye who enter here….
"Soul-Grinding Abyss" take listeners on a journey into the depths of Dante's world, where they'll encounter eternal torment and Lucifer's cold dominion. "Premeditation of Evils" is a sojourn through desolate landscapes of grief and revelation, forging a soul through pain. The provocative "Coffin Sodomy" blends passion and death, painting a macabre picture of forbidden love. In "Crimen Contra Humanitatem," humanity's descent into chaos is depicted as a spiritual and cosmic collapse.
"Your Sweet Smell and Bitter Taste" blends beauty with destruction, celebrating love as both paradise and hell. "Lightgiver" mourn the loss of hope, where glimmers of light persist within broken souls.
The expansive "Apokatastasis Pantôn" ponders the cyclical destruction and rebirth of the cosmos, evoking celestial insight. "Agony in Blood" grapples with the existential anguish and humanity's futile struggle to transcend suffering. Ultimately, the chilling "Frozen Tomb" encapsulates the dissolution of the natural and metaphysical realms in a frigid apocalypse.
The album is a journey into the band's observations on the pointlessness of life, the cyclical nature of death and rebirth, and the burden of human suffering. From the frozen remains of the dead to the end of the world as we know it, each track is a chapter in one long story of despair, change, and the hope that sometimes seems to flicker in the dark.

A chaotic, mystical, and venomous black metal barrage! UK-based ARROGANT DESTRUKTOR returns with their most ambitious and visceral album to date. Formed in 2013, they continue the recipe of old-school black metal with an infusion of classic heavy metal and punk punch. After spitting out two vicious full-length albums and several acclaimed demos for the underground metal scene over the past decade, the chaotic material has become part of the band's history, and now a mysterious, hellish black metal collection has descended!
BEAST PETRIFY's debut full-length album "Dimensional Deranged Dilemma" was originally released in 1999. It's one of Asia's unique and underrated technical death/thrash metal masterpieces from the end of the last century! This 65-minute magnum opus blends various genres into a complex structure filled with virtuoso guitar melodies, crunchy chugging grooves, aggressive speeds, and other atmospheric elements. Experience this remastered version of the mind-blowing adrenaline flow, historic beginnings by the incredible, talented duo!
NO TRENDS! A FEAST FOR 80S THRASH METAL MANIACS! Hailing from Singapore, old-school thrash metal defender BLOODSTONE formed in 2004 with a passion for early 80's extreme metal. Written during COVID-19, the sophomore album is titled "Electrocution" and is more aggressive, straightforward, and ravaging than the band's previous releases. The lyrics revolve around politics, capital punishment, and war, expressing their disgruntlement, disillusionment, and frustration with modernity and the system.
CHRONICLES has existed since 2015 in the city of Mymensingh in north-central Bangladesh. At that time, they were the first death metal band in a long while to be renowned throughout the nation from Mymensingh. They participated in many underground gigs, and the local underground community was gradually building. CHRONICLES' debut full-length album, "Spirits of the Mortified," is a garage-burning pyre of occult aggression enacted in real-time abyss-spiraling death metal. It puts to death the mortifications of lingering sinful impulses that arise from within and resists temptations that surface from outside of the believer. The album represents the idea of liberation into the nether realm as the souls of the relentless kind embark on an eternal journey. The strugglers in a struggling world uphold the power of death and darkness, which takes the form of abysmal entities that feed upon the lust and greed of the disguised virtue. The rising sun hides the most profound abyss, and every single sunlight ray warms a cryptic stone in which the throne of skulls shines brighter than the chaste morning. Mortified spirits, the ultimate form of chaos, reign only in the underworld. As a result, this album is a statement of free will through sheer madness and blasphemy. The sound of the album offers a corpulent death of dimensions that want to monopolize more than one faithful follower of the entire religion of Death Metal.
CRÁNEO emerged from the vibrant city of Medellín, Colombia, in 2016, delivering classic Spanish death metal. Founded to channel the genre's darkest depths, CRÁNEO has remained an unwavering force. In their inaugural year, CRÁNEO unleashed their first EP, "Oscura Supremacía," igniting a path of sonic destruction that would resonate within the underground metal community. Building upon their success, CRÁNEO returned in 2018 with their debut full-length album, "Mortis Cinere." This release marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their evolution as musicians and lyricists. With themes exploring social injustices, mortality, and anti-Christian sentiment, CRÁNEO's music became a vehicle for catharsis and rebellion. In 2024, CRÁNEO is on the verge of releasing its second album, "Del Placer a la Tumba." With each track promising to deliver a visceral assault of unrestrained aggression and raw emotion, anticipation among their devoted fanbase reaches its peak. Drawing inspiration from genre titans like BELPHEGOR, SUFFOCATION, DEATH, MASACRE, and DEICIDE, CRÁNEO has crafted a sound as menacing as captivating. Their music is a sonic manifesto, channeling a generation's collective anger and disillusionment. As they prepare to unleash their latest work upon the world, CRÁNEO remains a beacon of defiance in a chaotic world. Through their music, they continue confronting the darkness that lurks within us all, forging a path forward with unwavering determination and unyielding resolve.
