Aufhebung's Luchtbegrafenis – Doom Reborn in Fire
With Luchtbegrafenis, Aufbehung sound assured and confident in their dynamics, unafraid of space, and devastating when they choose to strike. The time away has really sharpened them. Doom-laden yet melodically powerful, meticulous yet emotionally unrestrained, this is a band ascending, a band that shows us that weight and restraint can coexist in harmony......call it chaotic harmony!

A Symphony of Despair Reawakened: So Hideous’ 10th Anniversary Revival
There’s a certain kind of beauty that only reveals itself when everything around it is falling apart, and Laursetine, from So Hideous, thrives within that chaos. This is not an album for casual listening, it’s a descent into a meticulously arranged storm. Every track bleeds cinematic grandeur, yet the emotional core is raw enough to leave you scraped and exposed.

VINYL NEVER FORGETS - Sundays Are For Looking Back
This two-track EP unfolds like a dialogue of opposing forces, each piece a vast, immersive soundscape that rises and shifts with the weight of nature’s ferocious elements. TRNA embraces contrast in its purest form, letting sound move between turbulence and serenity until both emotions blur into something transcendent.
