1st album from 2017 by the Italian BLÓDIGA SKÁLD, a Folk Metal work with strong elements of medieval music, European folk and touches of melodic Metal. “Ruhn” builds a festive and epic universe based on traditional melodies, folk instruments and a very theatrical and narrative approach.
The album moves between drunken celebration, medieval fantasy and light epicness, with a more melodic and accessible approach than an aggressive one, standing out for its festive identity and its “tavern band” character within the European Folk Metal scene.
Recommended for fans of ELVENKING, KORPIKLAANI, ENSIFERUM and FINNTROLL. [Digipack]

Debut album from 2017 by the British VENOM INC., a band formed by former classic members of VENOM associated with the late 80s and early 90s era. A fierce blast of Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and Blackened Heavy Metal that revives the rawest, most primitive and streetwise essence of VENOM’s legacy.

The album sounds raw, aggressive and uncompromising, functioning as a spiritual continuation of VENOM’s classic chaos rather than a simple tribute. Recommended for fans of VENOM, MANTAR, DESASTER and NIFELHEIM.
