ULTHA “A Light So Dim” DLP/CD/Tape
It features 10 original new songs at a combined length of 74 minutes, with guest appearances by Pieter Uyttenhoven & Annelies van Dinter (TAKH), Pardis Latifi (DAEVAR), Danni Kann and the ”Chor Der Damen Ohne Namen”, a 40-women choir from Cologne.
Recorded, engineered and mastered at GOBLIN SOUND STUDIOS (Cologne) by ANDY ROSCZYK, who also contributed guitars and keys to various tracks. Artwork was done by TOBIAS HAHN, featuring photography by MAX HECKMANN.
After the conclusion of the trilogy consisting of Converging Sins, The Inextricable Wandering & All That Has Never Been True, the question was: where do you go when you’ve lost everything? You either accept defeat and die – or you start fighting. This is an album about hope in the darkest of times. It’s a call to arms for the inner self, to find a rope of light in a world of mist.
”A Light So Dim” is another concept album, with a narrative spinning from beginning to end. The unnamed narrator wakes up and tries to make sense of a world gone absolutely mad, where truth is nothing more than an empty shell of its once great self.
”IT’S THE STRUGGLE FOR AMBITION IN AN OCEAN OF DEFEAT. LIKE A FOREST FOR A GARDEN IN A WORLD YOU’LL NEVER SEE”.
This is for all of you!
Viva reason, viva love.
Vinyl is available on black, ultra clear, “special” white and a very limited run on green-yellow-black marbled vinyl.

out now:
ABKEHR “…dem Willen zu Macht und dem Vergessen.” LP/CD
Abkehr’s new album continues the band’s path, expanding its focus on existential weight, atmosphere, and relentless sonic intensity.
The album looks at existence as something circular, unstable, and ultimately self-consuming. Its worldview is bleak but clear-eyed: downfall appears not as spectacle or catastrophe, but as the exhausted exhalation of a species that has burned itself out, while old spirits remain behind as silent remnants of arrogance and forgetting. That perspective runs through all six pieces, giving the album a severe, immersive character where harsh immediacy and introspection constantly overlap.
“…dem Willen zur Macht und dem Vergessen.” is out now on LP (black vinyl and white vinyl available) and CD (8 panel digipack)

Also out now:
IFFERNET “Life at Heart” LP
With themes of life, loss, and labor, the bleak, melodic soundscape still provides enough glimmers of beauty and hope to gently push us forward. As a whole, the album traverses a bleak landscape of sonic darkness. Life at Heart fits comfortably under the admittedly large black metal umbrella, while threading in seams of so-called disso-black and DSBM.
CDs got a bit delayed and will ship early April.
