2nd album from 2014 by the Spanish AUTUMNAL, a majestic and melancholic work of Gothic Doom Metal and Death/Doom filled with dark atmospheres, huge melodies and deep emotional weight. “The End Of The Third Day” combines delicate and ethereal passages with crushing heavy riffs and tortured vocals, building a dark, elegant and deeply immersive sonic universe. A release as epic as it is introspective, placing AUTUMNAL among the most refined and emotional acts of contemporary European Doom Metal. Recommended for fans of DRACONIAN, SWALLOW THE SUN, MY DYING BRIDE and NOVEMBERS DOOM.
4th album from 1996 by the Swedish CEMETARY, a dark and melancholic work of Gothic Metal and Doom Metal where the band almost completely abandons its Death/ Doom roots in favour of a more atmospheric, emotional and gloomy sound. “Sundown” surrounds the listener with a haze of melodic guitars, despair-filled vocals and a cold, decadent atmosphere that turned the album into a cult reference within 90s European Gothic Metal. Elegant, introspective and deeply depressive, it stands as one of Mathias Lodmalm’s most personal and evocative works. Recommended for fans of TIAMAT, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA and MOONSPELL.
Vinyl re-issue on black wax with poster of the debut album from 1987 by the American DREAM DEATH, an absolutely visionary cult masterpiece that merges Doom Metal, Thrash Metal and primitive Death Metal into a dark, psychedelic and sickening atmosphere. Journey Into Mystery was years ahead of its time with its combination of crushingly heavy riffs, devastating slow tempos, tortured vocals and a strange hallucinatory feeling that makes the album as oppressive as it is hypnotic. A fundamental release for understanding the evolution of the most twisted and experimental side of Doom/Death Metal. Recommended for fans of AUTOPSY, WINTER, CELTIC FROST and ASPHYX.

Debut EP from 2018 by the Polish HAUNTED CENOTAPH, a heavy and funerary blast of Death/ Doom Metal strongly influenced by early death-doom pioneers, where slow, dense and dragging riffs dominate alongside a dark and sepulchral atmosphere. “Nightmares from Beyond” builds a raw and primitive sound focused on heaviness and a constant sense of oppression.
The material moves within a classic Death/ Doom framework, with simple yet hypnotic structures, rough production and a clear inspiration drawn from the underground scene of the late 80s and early 90s.
Recommended for fans of DERKÉTA, COFFINS, AUTOPSY, WINTER and MYTHIC.

Compilation released in 2020 by the Japanese COFFINS, one of the most respected bands in contemporary Doom/Death Metal. “March of Despair / Craving to Eternal Slumber” gathers two long out-of-print EPs originally released in 2012 and 2015, supplemented with several bonus tracks to offer more than 75 minutes of the band's trademark crushing sound.
The release includes the complete “March of Despair” and “Craving to Eternal Slumber” EPs, showcasing COFFINS at one of the strongest points of their career. Their sound combines the rawness of Old School Death Metal with the suffocating heaviness of Doom Metal, creating a dark, rotten and utterly devastating atmosphere that has become one of the hallmarks of the Japanese extreme Metal scene.

Debut and only album from 2002 by the American HIDDEN, a unique project featuring musicians associated with bands such as NECROPHAGIA, KRIEG, JUDAS ISCARIOT, SIGH and EXIT-13. “Spectral Magnitude” presents a highly distinctive blend of Progressive Death Metal, Black Metal and Doom Metal, wrapped in a strong scientific, cosmic and existential thematic framework.
Far removed from the usual extreme Metal clichés, the album embraces atmospheric compositions, unconventional song structures and a pronounced experimental spirit, venturing into territories close to the darker and more avant-garde side of Progressive Metal. A largely forgotten rarity that stands out both for its remarkable lineup and its ambitious artistic vision, making it a fascinating cult release for fans of adventurous extreme Metal.
