The band was recently formed by Gebre and Rigel, bandmates since 1995 and founders of the Doom Metal sextet Helevorn.
They are surrounded in the project by Tomeu Crespí (Golgotha) and Miguel Serra.
The musical inspiration is taken from the old school greats of Doom/Death metal from the ’90s, referring to well-known bands.
👉 The album is divided into eight pieces, with an approximate duration of 9 minutes each.
It’s a conceptual journey through different scenarios with the common denominator on the pain, the anguish,
the hypersensitivity and the struggle with a highly functioning depression, which is absolutely based on a real condition.
👉 The music can be approximated as Doom/Death Metal with a strong Old school vibe, here bands like My Dying Bride and early Anathema
and early Opeth might come to mind, and maybe among the current scene we could mention Shape of Despair, Ahab and Doom Vs.
"In general, we feel that this massive crushing riffs, slow-but-not-funeral vibe, multi layered keys, heavily distorted bass and crushing growls are our signature."
👉 We will release this masterpiece album a on nice CD Digipak 6-panels as well as digital format on October 6th and in collaboration with Tragedy Production! 👌
You can already discover two singles on our Bandcamp page and the related visualizers on our YouTube channel! 👌
Stay tuned for some teasers, singles and the pre-orders launch before October! 🤘
WELCOME SOLNEGRE! 🤘
The band was formed in 2021 by Thijs (Welmoed, Misanthropia) and Robster (ex-Southern Werewolf Farm).
William (FAAL, Spina Bifida, 666 Shades of Shit, ex-Foretold, ex-Domestic Violence) joined them on the project.
👉 The Asklepeion project was born in the beginning of 2021 when Thijs and Robster had the idea to start a musical project to keep themselves busy during the pandemic.
They write some songs, record them at home and release an EP.
Both fans of 90’s (melodic) Black Metal, the songwriting quickly went that way and the decision was made to stick with it
and make an album full of Melodic Black Metal with a 90’s but also a modern vibe.
After the songwriting was done and the recordings were finished the search for a drummer and a vocalist started.
William was enthusiastic to join the project and do the vocals.
Whilst playing and recording keyboards, the idea of programming the drums was born,
to avoid logistical and time-based issues, so Thijs performed this task as well.
The album lyrically consists themes of mythology, diseases and pandemics from the middle-ages, downfall of mankind, questioning religion and mercy.
We choose not to print them. When it comes to writing and production, we strive for a neat listenable, yet not overproduced end result.
Guitar solo on ‘Basilisk’ played by Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation).
👉 We will release this surprising album a on beautiful CD Digipak 6-panels as well as digital format on August 4! 👌
You can already discover the first single "He Moves In Mysterious Ways" on our Bandcamp page! 👌
Stay Tuned for the second single on June 23! 🤘
WELCOME ASKLEPEION! 🤘
The project is brought to life by phenomenal performances of well-known guest vocalists and musicians from several countries.
👉 LORD OF SHADOWS' debut album, 'Echoes of Yore', is a monolithic tribute to the Gothic Doom genre by a collection of artists that have gathered in the orbit of Valentin.
To bring Shadows' lyrics to life, Mike Lamb (Sojourner/Remina/Light Field Reverie) wrote and recorded 7 tracks of pure Gothic Doom wreathed in the phenomenal performances of guest vocalists Heike Langhans (ex-Draconian/Remina/Light Field Reverie/ex-ISON), Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride), and Emilio Crespo (Sojourner).
Together these elements provide a showcase for Shadows' lyrics to weave a tragic story of love, loss, and sorrow.
'Shadows' says about the album: "The album 'Echoes of Yore' is meant to overpower both the sacred and the profane, in order to establish itself as self-aware,
redeeming its own existence at the very edge of doom genre itself... Following the hourglass of memories, from 'Her lips were poetry and doom...' through to 'Your blood weighs heavy...',
each song is inspired by my own life and is connected to the next one, to form one sorrowful story of love and the acceptance of one's fate."
More than this, 'Echoes of Yore...' builds its own universe of tragedy and doom, and offers the final surrender to the chaotic nature of the artist.
Left with nothing more than the memory of her, having extinguished half of his own twin-flame, where the perception of love and
death become equal to each other: her kiss means sacrifice, his art shall be the penance...
👉 We will release this amazing album a on beautiful CD Digipak 6-panels with an 8-pages booklet as well as digital format and in collaboration with Tragedy Productions! 👌
You can already discover the first single "She Was But An Echo Of Yore..." on our Bandcamp page! 👌

WELCOME LORD OF SHADOWS! 🤘
Adrien has composed multiple albums over the past 25 years in varying shades of dark metal.
👉 Notably signed by Oaken Shield/Adipocere in 2018 for the vinyl edition of Beredsamkeit. Of the most prolix and restive, Vociferian imposed its style and its variations.
As example through its evolution with its previous opus "Ɔ d ɔ ʀ a", a kind of musical tribute to Orwell's "1984" in the era of social media. Following this work, Vociferian bowed out.
It is therefore an unexpected return that we are witnessing with "L'Os Qui Germe", a creation filled with a need for intense expression marked by an episode of deep depression tangible in its identity.
👉 "L'Os Qui Germe" is the ultimate production of the soloist Adrien Weber, it is a post-black metal, post-rock and post-hardcore ensemble.
Two long titles echoing each other while being on the contrary with a duration each of 15 minutes are followed by an acoustic, raw and stripped down epilogue.
A sharp poetry written in free verses orchestrates this music in a bilious way.
👉 Écorce Des Astres [Li Neûre Poye] means the black hen, that same hen that the macrale (witch in Walloon) brings to the sabbath.
When De Nacre Se Sacre Le Temps [Fiv'lène] (slow fever) is the name that was given to the melancholy of young children with pointed fingertips...
These titles are themes directly born from the folklore of our Belgian regions, of high and cold lands where witch-doctors were sacrificed because of bigotry, popular beliefs and dark purposes.
This album is a sonic conjuration.
As a depressive ode to the recovery of self and of life in all its heartbreaks and relentlessness,
these torn compositions will have you swinging from shoegaze to modern black metal via the apocalyptic hardcore of the 90s.
👉 On May 26, we will release this new gem in a surprising CD Digisleeve 6-panels as well as digital format. 👌
WELCOME VOCIFERIAN! 🤘
With a sound that blends heavy riffs, atmospheric soundscapes, and introspective lyrics, the band has built a reputation for creating music that is both brutal and beautiful.
👉 We will release their new and highly anticipated album "Noche Oscura" on April 7 in a beautiful CD Digipack 6-panels as well as digital format.
👉 The album explores the themes of pain, loss, depression, love, life and death through the lens of the band's signature heavy and atmospheric sound.
Inspired by personal experiences, "Noche Oscura" delves into the depths of human emotion, exploring the darkness that can consume us in times of loss and despair.
Through soaring guitar riffs and haunting vocal lines, the band masterfully capture the raw power of grief and the struggle for survival.
The album serves as a cathartic release for the band, who channel their own experiences with loss and depression into their music.
With songs that are both heavy and beautiful, "Noche Oscura" is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
The band says about the album: "We want our music to speak to people who are going through difficult times.
We hope that by sharing our experiences through our music, we can help others find comfort and solace in their own journeys."
👉 On March 3, a first single will be released and the pre-orders for both Digital and Physical formats will be launched.
A second single will be revealed on March 31 heading to April 7 for the full album release. 👌 WELCOME BEYOND THE DARKNESS! 🤘

👉 WHEN NOTHING REMAINS is a Doom/Death Metal band formed in 2010 by Jan Sallander and Peter Laustsen in Sweden.
The band is containing members from bands like Nox Aurea, The Cold Existence, Rimfrost, Draconian, Doom: VS.
The sound is based on melodic compositions decorated with catchy guitar solos and atmospheric keyboards, with a harmonious blend of clean vocals and growl.

Welcome WHEN NOTHING REMAINS! 🤘
The band, formed in 2017, has a crushingly heavy dark atmospheric sound and powerful melodic elements taking much influence from the melancholic UK gothic doom scene from the 90s.
👉 The first full length album combines 4 tracks recorded in 2022 with the independently released initial EP recorded in 2018.
Blackened yet melodic and slow yet intense, the songs are a beautiful catalyst for lonely and melancholic moments to escape the outside. The lyrical side of the music have contemporary pagan themes, touching on subjects of nature and society, especially isolation, darkness and self introspection, a critique of this modern societal landscape and a view of one's place within it.
👉 The album is already available for pre-orders in a beautiful CD Digipack 6-panels format with an 8-pages Booklet as well as the Digital format and you will discover a first single on December 16th and a second one on January 13th.

In 2012, the band recorded and released "The Shortest Way", a conceptual album that narrates a journey through a timeless world that could be ours. The band gets with this album a more mature sound and obtains a musical solidity. It has eight songs that evoke sorrow and anger in equal measure, that are narrating stepwise the sad moments that two soulmates spent separated by this cruel world. The album, now well-known, obtained excellent reviews from every corner of the world. In 2022, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of this magnificent piece of art, the band and Meuse Music Records got on a collaboration deal to produce it for the first time on vinyl! 👉 The album is available immediately on our Bandcamp page as Digital format and will be available soon on a 180g TransCrystal Double 12" limited to 200 units in Gatefold cover. 👌 Details will follow and we will inform you when the pre-orders start! 👉 The icing on the cake is that we will also reissue it on CD Audio Digipack 6-panels format with a 12-pages Booklet! 🤘 WELCOME EVADNE! 🤘

💥 We’re happy to announce today the re-issue of the cult album "Withered Shades"! 💥 👉 The album will be especially and for the first time ever mastered for vinyl and pressed on a Heavy Weight 180g 2x12" Vinyl in a Gatefold cover! Everything here is designed for Quality first, details will follow and we will inform you when the pre-orders start! 👌 👉 Here's what Ophis says about "Withered Shades" and the re-issue : "Our second album "Withered Shades" was definitely the pivotal album of our 20 years career. It marked the transition from a mere low-level newcomer to a staple in the world wide Doom Metal underground scene. The album caught most listeners off-guard, garnered exclusively enthusiastic reviews from the global Metal press and quickly became a fan-favourite. Even though we have been "successful" ever since, "Withered Shades" remains our best selling album to this day, and it is very unlikely to see an Ophis show where no song from this album is played... The album was originally a CD-only release, but was re-issued on vinyl in 2015 by Frontcore Records in a very small edition, which sold out quickly and is now almost impossible to buy. So we were very happy when MEUSE MUSIC RECORDS approached us with the proposal to do a new re-release on LP, this time finally with the quality gatefold package the album always deserved – and with a full vinyl remaster. And of course we are proud as fuck that even 12 years after its initial release, there is still a demand for this album among you, the fans! The question wether this is our best album is open for debate and up to you – but it is no doubt a very special album in our catalogue and we hope you enjoy this peace of monolithic aggressive Doom Metal!" WELCOME OPHIS! 🤘
Constantly experimenting with different genres and sounds, from shoegaze post-punk to doomy gothic-grunge,
Faunlet’s music has been intimate, dark and emotional since 2011.
💥 We’re happy to release today the amazing album "Fauna of the Heart, Flora from Beyond". This is a dark, gloomy and intriguing album that triggers the darkest parts of imagination, lovers and death, but with a very serious Gothic atmosphere. It’s underground, it’s post-punk and most importantly, it sounds really great! "Fauna of the Heart Flora from Beyond" is an atypical album to be released on our label, but it's typically what goes into the "Everything we like in between..." which we promote and care so much! 👌 👉 The album is now available as Digital format on our Bandcamp page and will be available as well for pre-order on April 1st (Bandcamp Friday) in a beautiful CD Digipack 4-panels format! 👌 WELCOME FAUNLET! 🤘
and Therese Tofting (Fairy, Funeral Void).
Their music can be defined as the never ending voyage of a wanderer spirit towards his own ancient inner self, through myths, occultism and spirituality. Slow beats, tons of reverbs & cosmic alignments: the path.
💥 We’re excited to release today, on 2/22/22, “Starseeds”, their first album which is an initiation: a retrospective, yet a premonition. Like seeds born from the stars, they are travelling in the denial of time and space in order to meet the divine chaotic fire of the origin and the end.
👉 The album is available immediately on our Bandcamp page as Digital format and will be available soon on a nice 6-panels Digipack CD with lyrics 👌 Details will follow and we will inform you when the pre-orders start! 👌 WELCOME HERMYTH! 🤘
💥 COR SERPENTIS is a genuine funeral/death doom metal album that is paved with utterly slow riffage, calm acoustic passages, nightmarish samples and hellish gurgling. The dark, funeralistic atmosphere is intensified by immanent use of melodic guitar lines and pointed haunting solos lifting CALLIOPHIS on the next level of their doom evolution.
Tight tracks, in every sense of the word: the compositions and arrangements are solid and compelling, the musicianship is excellent, and the production top-notch. The album is a consistent piece of tons heavy slowness serving desperate emotions and hopelessness, an isolating feeling in a dark never ending abyss.
CALLOPHIS is another proof that saying “German quality” isn’t only about
products of local industry in several branches but also Music!

In 2020, RISE TO THE SKY shifted to an atmospheric death/doom sound that characterizes its current sound, with the release of the full length 'Death Will Not Keep Us Apart' and two Eps.
In 2021, RISE TO THE SKY released two full length albums: 'Let Me Drown With You' and 'Per Aspera ad Astra'.
Both albums were well-received by the doom metal community.
"The band is slowly becoming a need-to-know name that can very well become the name to know when it comes to Chilean,
or even South American as a whole, death/doom." - Head Banger Reviews
"RISE TO THE SKY weaves together a staggering array of guitar and synthesizer layers into a massive wall of sad that can very easily overwhelm even if you're not actively trying to sink into it." - Ted Nubel / Invisible Oranges

This is doom death metal of the highest standard, cruel and loud, but not devoid of a share of atmosphere, and, most important, individuality and unique mood.
After four years they are releasing their third full length album "Liquid Darkness". Both on sound and songwriting, with the six songs the band goes one step further and presents its very own interpretation of heavy but melodic Death Doom Metal. The focus is on atmospheric and dark parts, always intensified by the distinctive growls. Again some lyrics are inspired by international fables and myths. "Krakonoš" is based on the saga of Rübezahl, a spirit of the Giant Mountains in Czech Republic. "The Art of Shudder" is inspired by the well-known fable "The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was" and with the song "Munk (Warm Heart)" Calliophis brings its Munk trilogy, based on "The Heart of Stone", to an end. The album is available immediately on our Bandcamp page
and will be available soon on a beautiful double 12" vinyl.
