INQUISITION - Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult [BLACK TAPE]

Limited bundle including a gatefold 2 LP (exclusive gold vinyl), 2-CD hardcover book, folded poster, and patch (200 units available). About the album Gràb's second album, "Kremess," continues to explore the rich tapestry of Bavarian Black Metal, a genre that founder Grànt has meticulously crafted to reflect the cultural and musical heritage of the German Alps. The album title translates to "Funeral Feast" in English, indicating its thematic preoccupation with death and mourning. The band's lyrical narrative remains firmly grounded in regional dialects, imbuing their music with an authentic, almost folkloric quality. Musically, "Kremess" is steeped in traditional Black Metal influences from both Nordic stalwarts such as Gehenna and Ulver, as well as German pioneers like Nagelfar and Lunar Aurora. The inclusion of acoustic instruments alongside the iconic hackbrett adds a layer of complexity to their soundscape. The introduction of English guitarist Gnàst injects fresh perspectives into the band's sonic palette, further enriched by contributions from guest musicians affiliated with Empyrium, Triptykon, and Dark Fortress. This collaboration results in a dynamic evolution of Gràb's sound—a fusion of archaic atmospheres with contemporary vigor. Initially introduced through their debut album "Zeitlang" in 2021, Gràb has consistently strived to rejuvenate early Black Metal's essence while carving out a distinct niche marked by Bavarian undertones. With "Kremess," they not only preserve this tradition but also propel it forward into uncharted territories. Track listing 1. Waidler 2. Kremess 3. Kerkermoasta 4. Im Hexnhoiz 5. Vom Gråb im Moos 6.

Dark green vinyl LP in a limited edition of 500 pieces, includes lined inner sleeve, insert (30x30cm), and protective cover. About the album With their debut album "The Land under the Black Wings: Swamp", Dymna Lotva introduced a distinctly Belarusian element into the black metal scene in 2016. The founding duo immediately presented an elaborate concept designed as the first part of a trilogy. The lyrics are based on historical events and legends from their Belarusian homeland and frequently cite the country's classic literature. The musical fervor of composer Jauhien Charkasau and singer Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich was ignited by the news that Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich had received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Their first song was created using quotes from Lyudmila Ignatenko, widow of a Chernobyl liquidator. Her husband's story also heavily inspired the HBO series "Chernobyl". Their second album, "Wormwood", released in 2017, revisited the Chernobyl theme. Post-Wormwood, both founding members had to flee their homeland due to political persecution and censorship by the Lukashenko regime. The trilogy continued with "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood", expanding its musical scope toward doom and more traditional tones while maintaining its foundation in Nordic black metal. Dymna Lotva's unique sound is defined by Katsiaryna's passionate vocals and Slavonic elements in guitarist Jauhien's compositions.
