ALCEST - Écailles De Lune [ARCTIC PEARL LP]
Limited Arctic Pearl Vinyl LP with printed inner sleeve, protective sleeve, and poster. About the album On their sophomore album "Écailles de Lune" ("Moon Scales"), ALCEST revisited their roots in Black Metal while retaining the unique characteristics developed on their debut album "Souvenirs d’un Autre Monde." The French pioneers of Post-Black Metal crafted a shimmering, dreamlike sound that defined their otherworldly beauty - a sound they have continuously refined. Musically, ALCEST merges meditative acoustic passages with repetitive hypnotic patterns and catchy melodies, interspersed with bursts of harsh guitar riffs and intense drumming. Similarly, Neige, the band's leader and guitarist, contrasts his vocal delivery by alternating between a warm, dark tenor and gentle higher registers, interrupted by desperate screams and fierce growls. The softer vocals eventually prevail like an unstoppable wave. "My inspiration for this album particularly stemmed from the sea and the energy and elation felt when sitting before the ocean at night," Neige revealed about the creation process of “Écailles de Lune.” "The ocean seems terribly fascinating, mysterious, as beautiful as it is terrifying." Over time, ALCEST's music has been labeled in various ways: Post-Black Metal, Post-Rock, Shoegaze, and Blackgaze are among the most common. However one chooses to categorize this band originally from Avignon but now based in Paris, their sound remains unique. A hallmark of their albums is conceptual motifs that run through each track. On "Écailles de Lune," it’s a story of transformation. "The story of this album does not metaphorically represent death," Neige wrote. "To me, it’s about a man literally deciding to leave his world for another. It’s more about transitioning into another reality or plane of existence." For those who wish to follow this man's journey to another place, ALCEST offers the key. Close your eyes to listen to "Écailles de Lune" and embark on a world filled with musical wonders and breathtaking beauty - but beware: even the roses of other worlds have thorns. Track listing 1.

About the album Mörk Gryning stands as a shrine to the raw, untamed essence of the Swedish black metal genre.

CRYPTOPSY - The Book Of Suffering - Tome I + II [BLACK LP]
Black 12" vinyl (33 rpm) containing 'Tome I' on side A and 'Tome II on side B' in jacket with 4-page insert. First pressing: 400 copies worldwide. About the album After three decades of ungentle supremacy, CRYPTOPSY still make blasphemy sound fresh, but many underground metalheads trace the JUNO Award winners’ resurgence to the two EPs they released during the mid-2010s. "This is without a doubt the best material the band has released in the new century,” Decibel wrote about ‘The Book of Suffering’ upon the arrival of its first installment in 2015. Three years later, when the band cracked open its second chapter, Angry Metal Guy was delighted: "The band is once again at the forefront of creative brutality." While split between two EPs, ‘The Book of Suffering’ was always meant as a companion piece. CRYPTOPSY framed Tome I around the concept of those phobophiles among us who inflict suffering (including a twisted-but-true tale of a Greyhound bus trip gone horribly awry). Meanwhile, Tome II shifts perspective to those who've escaped their tormentors. "Sire of Sin" - a ripping escape from a notorious religious cult - quickly turned into a staple in the band's ever-mutating setlist. Tomes I & II of ‘The Book of Suffering’ were both originally released independently. Now that both EPs are available for the first time on one combined vinyl, fans can finally suffer in peace.

Available only at Cold Knife Records and Supreme Chaos Records! · Heavy matte cover print (350gsm) · Lyrics insert with 80s retro design · Comes in PE overbag and polylined antistatic inner sleeve · 140g vinyl, manufactured in Germany · Limited to 100 handnumbered copies About the album Cold Knife will re-release the forgotten 1985 classic “Caught in the Trap” by the Swedish Lynx, on vinyl of course. Every once in a while, a treasure of the metal underground resurfaces, and “Caught in the Trap” by Lynx is exactly that. Originally released in 1985, this Swedish band’s sole album captures the essence of the 80s metal spirit: soaring vocals, sharp-edged riffs, pounding rhythms, and that unmistakable touch of synthesizer that gives it a unique charm. Inspired by legends like Deep Purple and rooted in the melodic energy of the NWOBHM, Lynx carved out their place in the Scandinavian heavy metal scene. Their music is a perfect blend of melodic hard rock and driving heavy metal, appealing to fans who appreciate both precision and power. Despite its undeniable quality, “Caught in the Trap” remained a hidden gem for decades. Songs like “My Own Way” and “Man Without a Face” showcase the band’s ability to craft anthemic tracks with introspective depth, while “Master of Evil” and “Final Race” deliver relentless energy. Unfortunately, the band dissolved shortly after the album’s release, leaving this masterpiece largely undiscovered by the wider metal audience. But the legacy of Lynx has endured among collectors and die-hard fans, who have kept the album’s flame alive. Now, almost 40 years later, Cold Knife Records has brought this classic back to life. “Caught in the Trap” is being reissued in three stunning vinyl editions: Night Black, for those who cherish tradition; Blazing Orange, a fiery nod to the album’s spirit; and Frozen Sky Splatter, a striking design that mirrors the icy landscapes of the band’s Swedish homeland. Each edition features restored artwork and an inlay with all lyrics, offering fans a chance to fully immerse themselves in the world of Lynx. This re-release is more than just an album – it’s a piece of heavy metal history brought back to the forefront. For longtime fans, it’s a chance to own this long-lost treasure in its most definitive form. For newcomers, it’s an invitation to discover a band that truly embodies the magic of 80s metal. If you live and breathe classic heavy metal, “Caught in the Trap” is a must-have. Eternal metal, timeless and electrifying! Track listing A1. My Own Way A2. Win Or Lose A3. Fingers Crossed A4.
