This CD contains the original three demo tracks (from 1995) and a recently unearthed live recording ("Mellom Galgene") all originally created in the stoned winter of 1994-1995. They have now been remastered with the expertise of Count Schneeberger (ST. VITUS, OBSESSED, etc.)....over one half hour of grim melancholy. The re-issued version also contains video footage of the entire first ever performance of the band from 1995.

Inspired by Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick, the German trio Ahab, which includes Christian Hector and Daniel Droste of Midnattsol, debut with the perfect soundtrack: An unrelenting odyssey into the depths of the human soul. Sluggish Doom Metal, complete with the heaviest of riffs and uncompromising vocals, intertwines with powerful Death Metal and isolated moments of melodic interludes to distinguish Ahab's sound. Far removed from commercialism and romance, Ahab's "Nautik" Funeral Doom celebrates brutality and utter despair.

The redesigned, and remastered 2002 version of SKEPTICISM's classic "Stormcrowfleet" is out! The sound on this album is huge, like an impressive vast monument... all songs move incredibly slow and create a very dark and depressive feeling... very soothing... a sort of ambient feel, that lets you drift away....

Cult doom metal on the Avant Garde label. Details TBA.

Kristina Esfandiari and her band move from the darkness to light on their second album, taking liberally from post-rock, grunge, and doom metal to tell a tale equally inspired by a childhood brush with death and Paradise Lost.

Doom Metal/Ambient

Type O Negative was an American gothic metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1989, by Peter Steele, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver, and Sal Abruscato, who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. Their lyrical emphasis on themes of romance, depression, and death resulted in the nickname "the Drab Four".

Altar is a collaborative album by Japanese experimental music group Boris and American drone metal band Sunn O))), released on October 31, 2006 through Southern Lord Records (SUNN62).

这支来自瑞典的乐队对重型音乐产生过无比深远的影响，而Nightfall正是他们最经典的唱片，出现了诸如Dark Are The Veils Of Death、Bewitched之类的传世之作。这张分量惊人的唱片即使在今天听来也没有过时的感觉。
Swedish doom originators Candlemass gave birth to an instant classic with their debut, Epicus Doomicus Metalicus. But their 1987 follow-up Nightfall managed to break even more new ground by introducing the operatic bellowing of new vocalist Messiah Marcolin, whose religious lyrics found the perfect match in the slow, grinding power chords written by bassist Leif Edling. Perfect examples of this formula like "The Well of Souls," "Samarithan," and "Bewitched" would become live standards for years to come and are nicely held together by short instrumentals, including a rendition of Chopin's "Marche Funebre." And while the band can't resist thrashing out just a tad on parts of "At the Gallow's End" and "Dark Are the Veils of Death," this is still a cohesive work, and a must for Black Sabbath fans
