ARCKANUM has decided to record the new album in Sunlight Studio, Sweden. Recording date is not yet set, but Shamaatae and Tomas Skogsberg are now scheduling.

I, Shamaatae, have studied the Old Norse Runic language and the runes, and I have decided to write all the lyrics for ANTIKOSMOS with this old language. Some of the song titles are Sú Vitran, Dauðmellin, Røkulfargnýr, and here's a fragment of my runic wrathful tongue from the album;
helþrekarnir: djúpum heljum heimr ok æsir kæfa: með hinn ósnoti ok einaugði standa tølauss en ofveikr: sút hans hugr tók: dǿðr hans vili tók: hrimþursar frá Helju á himininum hvítum dyri kníði:

O. a écrit:Le one-man band allemand Horn (remarqué pour son magnifique album de 2006 Die Kraft Der Szenarien) s'apprète à sortir son successeur. L'opus, intitulé Naturkraft sortira le 18 janvier chez Black Blood Records (soit dans une petite semaine).

Première impression: ça promet encore du très grand pagan!

Canadian black metallers SORCIER DES GLACES have commenced the songwriting process for their "third chapter," tentatively titled "The Puressence of Primitive Forests". Plans exist for the group to enter the studio later in the year. According to a press release, "it shall be the ultimate offering of misanthropy, hating humans beings for what they are and hiding far in the coldest landscapes still untouched by their dirty hands."

Recorded in 2000/01 and initially issued on a mere 150 CD-Rs, "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is a crucial transitional release in Xasthur’s blackened oeuvre, the turning point at which mastermind Malefic was thrust into the unenviable (but ultimately more satisfying) position of running Xasthur as a one-man operation for the first time. As such, "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is the accursed genesis of Xasthur as you know it/him today: cold, black and solitary, the sequestered misanthrope with a heart full of hate and no “band members” to impair his bleak and terrifying visions. In 2004, a more instrumental version of the album was released on cassette and CD by Sweden’s Total Holocaust Records—this version eventually appeared on vinyl in a limited edition of 500 from France’s Debemur Morti Productions. Hydra Head’s deluxe 2xCD package—the last-ever edition of "A Gate Through oodstained Mirrors" —includes that definitive version of the album in all its miserable mono-aural glory, complete with Burzum (“Black Spell Of Destruction”)
and Mütiilation (“Eternal Empire Of Majesty Death”) covers and a six-track bonus disc of unreleased material from the same era. It’s impressive, we know—but let’s just say we’re doing our part to keep hate alive.

As of now, until January 29th, get "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors," along with a t-shirt featuring Xasthur artwork originally created at about the same time as the album in 2000/01. This shirt will become a permanent feature in the Hydra Head Records store, but not until after this pre-order is over - so why wait to get yours?

O. a écrit:Des nouvelles de la part des britanniques de Fen, qui ont récemment sorti un remarquable MCD chez Northern Silence:

Fen are proud to announce that they have recently inked a deal with Italy's Code666 records to release the next three Fen full-length albums. We are honoured to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with artists such as Negura Bunget and are excited at the potential that this opportunity presents for both band and label. We are currently putting the finishing touches to the material to be included on the first opus and work will begin on the recording process early in 2008. The new material is a considerable progression from the previously-released Fen material and develops even further the post-rock/ambient elements of the band's sound whilst retaining the reflective, sorrow-laden metal fury for which we are known.

In other news, our contribution to the Toteninsel compilation has now been titled 'Towards the Shores of the End' and a completed version should be recorded by the start of the new year. A vinyl version of 'Ancient Sorrow' is also scheduled for release on Northern Silence Productions in early 2008 – boasting some exclusive new artwork, this will be a special release indeed.

Les braves gens ont donc signé chez Code666 pour leur trois prochains albums, dont le premier sera commencé au début de l'année prochaine. Le groupe annonce une évolution significative de sa musique, se focalisant plus sur le côté post rock/ambient.
A signaler également une version vynil du MCD Ancient Sorrow, également début 2008 chez Northern Silence.

Fen have uploaded a live-in-the-rehearsal room recording of a new song onto their Myspace page. Head along and have a listen - be prepared, it's extremely raw and murky... Enjoy nonetheless.
