Just recently signed with Napalm Records, Russian Nordic folk and ambient project Nytt Land offer a dark, otherworldly experience with their new seventh studio album, “Ritual”, out on August 6th, 2021, via Napalm Records.

Nordic folk and Ambient project Nytt Land from Russia has signed an official worldwide contract with Austrian rock and metal label Napalm Records!

The band’s style has been compared to Wardruna with added traditional throat singing and handmade traditional instruments such as the kravik-lyra and the tagelharpa. The band is inspired by the sounds of Siberian nature, and records have included live field-recordings of raven calls and forest sounds.

The Well announce yet another round of North American, EU and UK tour dates in support of their critically acclaimed new album “Death and Consolation” (RidingEasy Records).

The band has spent much of the year on tour, and now continue the trek into 2020, sharing some US dates with label mates Zig-Zags and R.I.P..

After a spellbinding performance at The Cure’s Pasadena Daydream Festival this past weekend in LA, Chelsea Wolfe is just one week away from releasing her latest album “Birth of Violence”, via Sargent House, on September 13th.
 

The spellbinding new album from Chelsea Wolfe is out in just under a month and today she has given us another glimpse of her more folk leaning sound. Her new single, “Be All Things” is an emotional journey and shows Wolfe at the top of her songwriting game.
 

Chelsea Wolfe has returned with another stunning track, “American Darkness”, from her forthcoming album, “Birth of Violence” out on September 13th, 2019, via Sargent House.

“American Darkness” is accompanied by this video which Wolfe tells us is an “expression of freedom and beautiful humans being themselves”. Watch the video below.
 

Chelsea Wolfe has always been a conduit for a powerful energy, and while she has demonstrated a capacity to channel that somber beauty into a variety of forms, her gift as a songwriter is never more apparent than when she strips her songs down to a few key elements. As a result, her solemn majesty and ominous elegance are more potent than ever on her forthcoming album, “Birth of Violence” to be released on Sargent House on September 13th, 2019.
 

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Suldusk - a new project led by other-worldly frontwoman Emily Highfield - weaves acoustic tones of dark folk with elements of doom, atmospheric black metal and post rock

Suldusk is set to release her debut full-length album, entitled “Lunar Falls”, on April 12th, 2019. The album is available for pre-order now via Bandcamp.
 

Austin trio The Well share a new track today from their forthcoming third album “Death and Consolation”.

Listen to the crushing album opener “Sabbah” below.

“Death and Consolation” is without a doubt a weighty album title. And, The Well is among the heaviest heavy psych bands in existence. So when we say that there’s even more darkness and intensity to the band’s third album than previous efforts, take heed. It’s a deep sea diving bell of enveloping heaviness and longing.
