ILL TIDINGS “Seeds of True Rebirth” LP/CD
Vienna-based black metal band Ill Tidings return with Seeds of True Rebirth, their third full-length album and the most expansive release in the band’s catalogue so far.
Founded in 2018, Ill Tidings have steadily developed a style that combines melodic black metal with both modern and traditional elements of the genre. Their sound is built around layered guitar work, expressive vocals and driving drums, keeping an unpolished atmosphere at the centre of the band’s identity.
Following the release of their debut Signa Tenebris in 2020 and Hymns to Demise in 2022, the band entered the studio again during the summer of 2024 with the intention of pushing their music further. Seeds of True Rebirth expands both the musical and lyrical scope of Ill Tidings, moving deeper into themes tied to destruction, transformation and the darker corners of human existence.
The album balances aggression and atmosphere across seven tracks, shifting between cold melodic passages, dense riffing and moments that feel almost ritualistic in tone. While earlier releases hinted toward collapse and finality, Seeds of True Rebirth approaches those ideas head-on, presenting what the band describe as “the apocalypse” itself.
“Seeds of True Rebirth” will be released on the 26th of June, on CD and LP.

ANGEST “Perpetual Anguish”
“a record shaped by fear in its most suffocating and paralyzing forms” — “the fear of uncertainty, the overwhelming weight of daily existence, the sensation of drowning beneath one’s own thoughts, and the gradual loss of voice and identity until only a pale, speechless figure remains.”
Angest is a new name within the freezing and fiery realms of black metal, but its multi-national lineup quickly attracts attention. It includes two members of Détresse, two members of Humanitas Error Est, and the drummer for Cult of Erinyes and LVTHN.
At one time three of them performed with Lebenssucht, and their resumes also include former or current membership (including live stage sessions) in such bands as Enthroned, Dawohl, Einst, Goat Torment, Gevurah, Sabathan, Thanargonauts, and Towering.
Their debut is now up for preorders (digital, digipack CD, black vinyl and gold/black marbled vinyl available) and will be released on the 26th June. Due to some personal issues LPs and CDs will delay a bit and ship in early July.

VUKARI “Aevum” LP
Vukari are the perfect example that you do not need to compromise on savage brutality when creating an overall emotional atmosphere. The band takes you on an incredible journey through human sentiments, but always with the knife between the teeth. The production is immensely dense, but still crisp with discernible instrumentation. The bass sound is just breathtaking. As far as Atmospheric Black Metal is concerned Vukari are second to none.
Repress limited to 100 copies only.
