The sunset choir sings from the Palace of Frost...

Hi,

2008 is almost over and saw the continued, very successful introduction of our Heavy & Doom sublabel Eyes Like Snow. The result, of course, was a reduced amount of releases through Northern Silence but quality goes before quantity.

The last two CD releases for this year are KERBENOK & ELFFOR in November, and the last two LPs will be HÄIVE & BROCKEN MOON in December (if all goes as planned)

Plans for the first half of 2009 are more or less complete and I can promise some real highlights.

We will start with the "Autumnal Heavens" MCD of AUGRIMMER, a release to introduce this as yet sadly underrated German band to our audience before the release of their debut album later in 2009. If you're not yet familiar with the band I recommend to get their self-titled demo CD asap! It's one of my favourite Black Metal demos ever from Germany.

We will proceed, hopefully without much delay, and release the debut album of GALLOWBRAID from the USA. This is one of my personally most expected releases of 2009 and I dare say if Agalloch don't release a new album in 2009 the GALLOWBRAID album will be a more than worthy alternative!

All good things are three, and the last release in Spring will come from our French premier Celtic Black Metal act BELENOS with a completely re-recorded, redesigned and totally improved version of their (his) fantastic debut album "Errances Oniriques"!

And as if three weren't enough there's a good chance that BROCKEN MOON will finish the work for their "10 Years Brocken Moon" album during the Winter months and we can present you the release along with the three aforementioned ones before May.

Ok, so much for CD releases. Of course the much expected Gris 2LP will be released in Spring, too. We received a lot of requests during the last weeks and months if and when the release is going to happen and I can assure you that it shall be done as soon as possible, probably as first vinyl release in 2009!

Cheerz,
Torsten & NSP

New CDs

Kerbenok - O CD/A5Digi

"O" is the much anticipated debut album of this exceptional German band and without doubt it will appeal to fans of creative, nature-inspired "Black" Metal such as Negura Bunget, early Ulver & In The Woods as well as Agalloch and Drautran.

Elffor - From The Throne Of Hate CD/Digi

"From The Throne Of Hate" marks part III of the Elffor reissue series and by our reckoning also the highlight thus far. Fans of the band will love the medieval atmosphere and ambience and with the further addition of heavy guitars the album once again gaines and delivers more majestic power than its predecessor.
