''Ruines d'un monde
Mêlées d'agonies
Aux étranges couleurs
Les débris de nos coeurs
Perçant les ténèbres
Des fragments d'aurores

S'effondre le ciel et meurt le soleil
Fuir la lumière et tomber pour toujours
Nos âmes enflammées
Évaporées comme des astres...''

Nouvel album de Sombres Forêts en création.

Founding member/songwriter/rhythm guitarist Ivar Bjørnson of Norwegian masters of progressive/experimental metal ENSLAVED has issued the following studio update:

"This is a short blog from the studio where we — ENSLAVED — have started to record our new album. We are doing the drums in Duper Studios here in Bergen; this time around we are recording everything in our hometown, something we last did with [2004's] 'Isa'. Iver Sandøy (TRINACRIA, MANNGARD, EMMERHOFF & THE MELANCHOLY BABIES) is engineering the drum recording; and we feel we are in very good hands. The remaining instruments will be recorded in Herbrand [Larsen, keyboards] and [lead guitarist] Ice Dale's Earshot Studio, with a few small exceptions done in Peersonal Sound (my own studio).

"We're starting off as we always do: with me and [drummer] Cato [Bekkevold] going in first.

"The session started out beautifully with the perfect starting point for the drum sound and the first song being laid down by Cato. This song is a musical and lyrical contemplation on a rune — one associated with travel...

"We'll get back to more on the songs later!

"Avantgarde Dark Metal from Sweden, featuring members of ARMAGEDDA (rip) and BERGRAVEN. This unconventional brainchild out of sweden still borrows from the Black Metal range its members bring with it, however it surprises with crafty obscure and complex music, rich with songs and instrumentation. An unconventional and disturbing travel - easily drifting away from the usual metal genres. " Faceless Phenomena" means nothing that we can foresee, densly layered music, moving skillfully between fragility and powerful outbursts, graceful melodic and twisted imaginery. Impeccable individual riffs nail deep the mood, let you grow and also fall with the alluring songs. Try to imagine a mix of VEB BUENS ENDE, CODE and BERGRAVEN, its time to make the decisive twist! Features stand out layout by Kim Sølve of www.trineogkim.no (known from works with Mayhem, Darkthrone, Aeternus, DHG, Ved Buens Ende, Virus, Gallhammer, Enslaved…)."

A new song from Polish metallers CRIONICS entitled "Scapegoat (Welcome to Necropolis)" is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the band's new EP, "N.O.I.R.", which will be released later this year through an as-yet-undetermined record label.

Triptykon / Prowling Death Records Ltd. Sign with Century Media Records

Triptykon, the group formed by former Hellhammer/Celtic Frost singer, guitarist, and main songwriter Tom Gabriel Warrior, is proud to announce that the groups' own label, Prowling Death Records Ltd., has entered into a licensing agreement with renowned metal giant Century Media Records.

Under the agreement, Century Media Records will release Triptykon's massive debut album, Eparistera Daimones, in Europe and North America on March 22, 2010.

Eparistera Daimones was produced by Tom Gabriel Warrior and Triptykon guitarist V. Santura and recorded in V. Santura's own Woodshed Studio in southern Germany, in the course of the second half of 2009. Like Celtic Frost's highly praised Monotheist album, Eparistera Daimones was mastered by Walter Schmid at Oakland Recording in Winterthur, Switzerland. Eparistera Daimones is said to be heavier than Monotheist, dark, daring, and very diverse.

Tom Gabriel Warrior: I am very pleased about continuing my long-standing and very constructive affiliation with Century Media Records. After the demise of Celtic Frost, I was looking for continuity in every other aspect of my life, and the cooperation between Prowling Death Records Ltd. and Century Media Records has in the past already provided an outstanding platform for releases by Hellhammer (the Demon Entrails demo reissue album, 2008) and Celtic Frost (Monotheist, 2006).

Eparistera Daimones will feature the following nine songs, at a playing time of around 70 minutes:

1. Goetia
2. Abyss Within My Soul
3. In Shrouds Decayed
4. Shrine
5. A Thousand Lies
6. Descendant
7. Myopic Empire
8. My Pain
9. The Prolonging

A further three new Triptykon songs have also been recorded, and they, too, will be released in the course or 2010

The album will be further distinguished by stunning artwork from two highly acclaimed international artists, who, together with the group themselves, thus form their own artistic triptych.

Triptykon consists of V. Santura (guitar, vocals), Norman Lonhard (drums, percussion), Vanja Slajh (bass), and Tom Gabriel Warrior (voice, guitars). The group has unambiguously stated that it pursues the continuation and further development of the path Warrior began in Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. The group’s onstage debut is scheduled to take place as part of the distinguished Roadburn Festival, on April 16, 2010.

Triptykon vient de signer un contrat de distribution avec le label allemand Century Media. Le nouvel album du groupe, intitulé "Eparistera Daimones", sortira le 22 mars 2010, via Prowling Death Records Ltd/Century Media Rec.
Vous pouvez voir le track listing de cet opus, d'une durée de 70 minutes, ci-dessus.

D'autre part, trois autres chansons, enregistrées durant les sessions du nouvel album, devraient paraitre courant 2010.

I am glad to announce that Woods of Desolation will enter the studio late February to begin recording the 2nd, as yet untitled, full-length album due for release in 2010. Unfortunately, Desolate will not be featured on this release due to other commitments, but has been replaced by Sorrow aka Tim of Austere/Grey Waters, who will also take over the drumming position from myself.

February will also see the release of new t-shirt & patches via Eisenwald: www.eisenton.de
