NAXEN “descending into a deeper darkness” LP/CD/Tape
“Descending Into A Deeper Darkness” is not a concept album in the common sense, but for each of the four songs, LN (songwriter, guitarist, and lyricist of NAXEN) has developed and conceptualised separate ideas. Every song takes up elements of each other and thus presenting an intricate and interwoven work of concepts. These embody the beliefs that all hope is lost, dread encapsulates existence, life is the trauma of birth and, finally, the irrefutable futility of all flesh. The album dives headfirst into these concepts imbued with triumphant darkness and the inescapability of sadness and pain.
In sonic terms, NAXEN is a blend of traditional black metal with contemporary influences that result in their own interpretation of depressive black metal. The above mentioned songs are auditory renditions of pain, existential dread and despair through atmospheric structures, melancholic melodies, elaborated drums and bleak lyricism.
“Descending Into A Deeper Darkness” showcases NAXEN‘s evolution as songwriters as well as highlighting their growth and maturity as a band. With this upcoming release, NAXEN solidifies their position as one of the most exciting and innovative acts in the underground black metal scene, promising a captivating and immersive journey into the depths of darkness.
The album got released on vinyl (3 different versions, CD and cassette.

AMAROK “resilience” DLP
AMAROK is an epic metal quartet that combines the sustained drones and driving rhythms of doom/funeral doom metal with the intricate melodic passages, layered guitar harmonies, and blasting percussion of black metal. The band takes their name from the giant wolf cryptid of Inuit mythology; a creature capable of ripping a person’s soul from their body, symbolizing their powerful wall-of-sound aesthetic, and signaling the band’s connection to the primal forces of nature.
Resilience was recorded and mixed by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios (High On Fire, Necrot, Vastum), mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Sunn O))), Isis), and completed with cover art hand painted by Adam Burke, and photography by Michelle Camy and the band members. The album features guest vocals on “Charred” by Dave Edwardson (Neurosis) and on “Penance” by A.L.N. (Mizmor), and cello on “Ascension” played by Jaed and recorded by Chris Keene at Cutters Cathedral.
