CD in DigiPak. About the album Forgotten Tomb's album "Hurt Yourself and the Ones You Love" is a profound exploration of human despair, blending elements of Black Metal and Doom Metal into an unsettling yet captivating sonic experience. The Italian band continues to push the boundaries of darkness with their unique sound that is both melancholic and malevolent. This release sees Forgotten Tomb embracing organic production techniques to deliver a raw and unfiltered auditory assault that retains an old-school vibe while sounding remarkably fresh. On this record, frontman Ferdinando "Herr Morbid" Marchisio leads the charge with his tormented vocal delivery and haunting guitar work. Themes of inner turmoil and existential dread ripple through tracks like "Soulless Upheaval" and "King Of The Undesirables," creating an oppressive atmosphere that engulfs the listener. Despite its sinister overtones, the album is not without moments of introspection, offering brief respites amidst the chaos that invite contemplation on life's darker aspects.

Gatefold 2LP (silver mauve marble vinyl) with padded inner sleeves and protection sleeve (200 copies available). With his second official full-length, "The Funeral of Being" (2003), XASTHUR mastermind, multi-instrumentalist, and singer Scott Conner aka Malefic walked further down the harsh, raw, frightening, and yet also melancholic path that set his band apart from most of the US black metal scene. Despite its unique and solitary approach, "The Funeral of Being" is still widely held to constitute a cornerstone and classic of the American underground. XASTHUR were originally conceived by Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995. The project started out in the vein of bleak black metal in the tradition of the Nordic second wave. Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, XASTHUR's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of XASTHUR and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name XASTHUR, but insisted that his black metal days were over. On his so far latest album, "Inevitably Dark", XASTHUR have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner felt like it and therefore did it.
