Thy Darkened Shade - The Clandestine Insight of Immorality

ENTARTUNG's Krypteia debut displayed a young black metal band with an old soul, breathing deep the spirit of ancient darkness. But with their second album, Peccata Mortalia, ENTARTUNG exhale a crypt-stench stronger than death. Indeed, Peccata Mortalia displays the duo in an even stronger (black)light, the songwriting both more assured and distinctive and the execution more vile and grim. Shadow-draped yet melodic, despite the band's Teutonic origins, ENTARTUNG forego the mystical/medieval vibe of their country's usual black metal style and, in fact, slot well alongside Finland's filthy and emotive idiom of the past decade. By any description, however, Peccata Mortalia is black metal traditionalism par excellence.

"Peccata Mortalia" is set for release as CD & LP on March 8th, 2014.

To conquer Immortality in the Depths

Harken the Bearer of Woeful Revelations!
Behold the Manifold Horrors of the Yawning Abyss,
as they Spew Forth in Sulphurous Torrents!

TERRATUR POSSESSIONS is proud to announce the monstrous debut full-length album of Icelandic Black Metal band SINMARA, to be released xx.xx.xx on CD and DLP.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered over a period of 2 years by Stephen Lockhart at Studio Emissary, resulting in a world class production, and features stunning artwork and layout from Alexander L. Brown.

SINMARA was previously known under the name of Chao, having released under that name the demo cassette Spiritus Sankti also on TERRATUR POSSESSIONS. The change in name sees the band develop upon their foundations of chaotic agression contrasted with haunting melodies, bringing forth a newfound maturity and focus of composition, masterful musicianship and a zealous intensity of execution. Along with the change in name there has also been a change in line-up, and the band now features members of Wormlust, Rebirth of Nefast and Svartidauði.

Aphotic Womb takes the listener on a descent into a writhing underworld of diverse soundscapes and themes, from the harmonic chaos and orchestrated madness of “Verminous”, to the mournful elegy of the title track, and culminating in the eschatological epic “Mountains of Quivering Bones”.

TRACKLIST:

Katabasis – 4:31
Cursed Salvation – 5:00
Verminous – 5:30
Shattered Pillars – 8:41
Stygian Voyage – 5:24
Aphotic Womb – 6:38

Mountains of Quivering Bones – 10:21

Total: 52:49

Spite - Trapped In The Pentagram

[Verse 1]
I feel it building up inside my head
Like hammers pounding till I see red
Can't think straight, can't catch my breath
This pressure's gonna crush me to death
Every sound cuts like a blade
Every voice makes my vision fade
I'm losing grip on what is real
This pain is all I fucking feel

[Pre-chorus]
It's splitting, cracking, breaking down
My skull's about to hit the ground

[Chorus]
Skull shatter, mind scatter
Nothing left but bone and matter
Skull shatter, can't get fatter
Watch my sanity just splatter
FUCK!

[Verse 2]
Started small, just little cracks
Now there's no going back
Fragments falling piece by piece
I just want this hell to cease
Doctor says it's all in my head
Well no shit, that's where I bled
Every heartbeat pounds like war
Can't take this anymore

[Pre-chorus]
It's splitting, cracking, breaking down
My skull's about to hit the ground

[Chorus]
Skull shatter, mind scatter
Nothing left but bone and matter
Skull shatter, can't get fatter
Watch my sanity just splatter

[Bridge]
I used to be someone else
Before this became my hell
Now I'm just a broken shell
With stories I can't tell

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Skull shatter, mind scatter
Nothing left but bone and matter
Skull shatter, can't get fatter
Watch my sanity just splatter

[Outro]
Pieces on the floor
Can't be fixed no more
Skull shatter

From Blut&Eisen Productions announcement:

BLUT & EISEN PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the third album from one of black metal's brightest/darkest hopes, BARSHASKETH's Ophidian Henonis. Originally hailing from New Zealand but later relocating to Scotland, BARSHASKETH have been patiently perfecting their bewitching craft these past five years, away from prying eyes but with sights set on diabolical fullmoon mysticism. Theirs is a sound that resonates with the stripped-bare, nightsky purity of second-wave black metal, from the ancient days when black metal was truly a cult for criminals and diehards. Ophidian Henosis is BARSHASKETH's grandest distillation of these eldritch energies yet. At once familiar and foreign, Ophidian Henosis explodes forth with cryogenic violence and fog-drenched atmosphere, arcing about with subtle shifts in texture and twists in composition, maintaining a headspace of otherworldly splendour whilst never lingering too long in a monochromatic mire. For however committed to purist black metal BARSHASKETH may be, their journey across Ophidian Henosis is a multi-hued one, recalling the early days of Sacramentum, Kvist, Setherial, and Isvind among others - in other words, the spectral darkness of the mid-1990s - and brimming with a passion and poignancy that can only come from the most obsidian of souls. Ophidian Henosis marks the beginning of BARSHASKETH's ascent...

Barshasketh Biography

BARSHASKETH was formed in 2007 as a solo-project by Krigeist with the intention of creating pure black metal, intentionally free of genre cross-pollination: second-wave blasphemy re-imagined and reinterpreted through extensive use of layering and counterpoint. After two well-received demos via Wolfsvuur Records, the debut album Defying the Bonds of Cosmic Thralldom emerged in 2010. Following the release of the first full-length, Krigeist relocated to Scotland after travelling through southeast Asia. After settling there, he went about piecing together a live lineup, and a series of live performances followed, culminating with a show in support of Negative Plane. Out of this live lineup, GM (guitars and vocals) was made a permanent member and BH was recruited on drums. This trio recorded the second full-length, Sitra Achra, released in 2013 through Todestrieb Records. After recruiting bassist BB on bass, the lineup was complete, and BARSHASKETH recorded two split EPs in quick succession. The band went on to record a third full-length, Ophidian Henosis, at the infamous Necromorbus Studio in Stockholm. This most recent full-length undoubtedly presents the band’s finest work to date and showcases a new level of musical and lyrical maturity. Extolling an adversarial spirituality, these seven hymns of darkness evangelize the impure and the obscene.

Barshasketh - Ophidian Henosis - VI

From "Philosophy Of Self-Flagellation: Being and Nothing", out now through Daemon Worship Prod.

LASHBLOOD, influenced by the likes of Sartre and Burgess, dives into the grey, nauseous apathy of the urban socium. Offering a bit of an avantgarde approach to the genre, the band freely utilizes saxophone and clean, sorrowful vocals, which reach the apotheosis on "Gospel Of Death". All this routine, this meaningless emptiness of the ever-repeating cycles.... It lives within all of us and drags us deeper and deeper through the helix of the mundane existence. Verily, it is Death reaching for us from beyond the veil of illusion, can you see her bony hand?
