Remastered and reissued version of Vinterriket's debut CD. Includes a previously unreleased bonus track. Haunting dark ambient by this master of the genre.

Pär Boström, known for Kammarheit, Aindulmedir and Cities Last Broadcast, presents his new project Trollslottet. The first album, Sorgeberget, is a story of bravery and witchcraft in a forsaken world. In this age of malevolence and turmoil, the gods are long gone. But old tales hold knowledge of an ancient tower in the northern mountains, where the now forgotten gods once hid their sacred names beneath the stone and the earth. Deep in this night, we seek their Nine Names in hopes of recalling the gods from the great dunes of the Quiet Void.

Originally released on tape in 1996. Re-released on lp by Unborn Productions in 2016.

The first official full-length by Old Tower. Ancient and dusty dungeon synth in the traditions of the old masters.

German reissue of former Emperor bassist's second album. Artwork folds out into 9 x 14 poster. Standard jewel case.

Limited to 300 copies.

???? Mankind was once on another journey, one found rooted in the ancestors of the ancient past. Presenting us with war and nature on the one hand, and falsehood, fears and ambitions on the other, the empire of Persepolis greets us with its lurid face. While ashes rained from the sky, legions of swords unsheathed revealed the unchanged quest for human power often overshadowed by revenge, power and glory. And yet, as the great earth is reflected in the air; and the sky in the stars too, these stories of life and death are a symphony that transcends centuries, and it was an honor for me to describe this chaos. ???? Consumed by hate… Pride emblazoned... Persepolis - naked as the sand! ???? “Persepolis” is an expanded, re-mixed and re-imagined version of Tir’s long sold out 2019 album, “The Vanished Civilization of Xattoth”, previously released by Heimat Der Katastrophe. On this latest Tir “redux”, fresh orchestrations reveal... added layers of harmonic and melodic depth, and many compositions have been extended to uncover a much darker side of the “Persepolis” narrative. It also features two new pieces unique to this release, with a special guest appearance from Varkana on the album's final track, “Forgotten Prophecy”. ???? All Instruments by Oytun Bektas.

Forgotten Pathways is a music project that was founded in 1997. It‘s not easy to define the musical style; possible genres might be „Medieval Ambient“, „Dark Ambient“, or „Dungeon Synth“. The aim of Forgotten Pathways is to create dark, mysterious, melancholy, yet beautiful and melodic music, reminiscent of times long gone by. This is achieved by composing music into carefully arranged, complex songs with evolving structures to (hopefully) create an intensive atmosphere, able to lure the listener unto…well, Forgotten Pathways. „A Long Way Home“ is the first full-length album of Forgotten Pathways, its release being wholly self-financed. It features complex songs of beauty and sadness, composed in a quasi-symphonic style. Thematically, the album covers old German fairytales. These offer not only tales of a time gone by (and often reaching back much further than when they were recorded by, for example, the Brothers Grimm), but are rich of emotions and symbolism, covering aspects of love, hate, wrath and loyalty, fate and sorcery, war and sexuality. They still talk to us and resonate within us. On the other hand, while most of the songs of „A Long Way Home“ are linked to certain fairytales, the music allows the listener to associate his own thoughts and dreams, encouraging him to use his or hers imagination and to feed on his „mystic subconsciousness“ (in lack of a better word). The music can be actively listened to, but also performs great as background music for reading, dreaming or playing fantasy-themed role-playing games. credits released July 14, 2015
