Ungraved Apparition is a dark metal unit from Ekaterinburg, Russia. It was founded in late 2014 by three members of Micky Babossa (guitar), Paul Kas (drums), and Leon Kratt (bass guitar). In the process of creating the material, the musicians felt the need for a powerful and heavier sound, thus in August 2015 Bones Taker joined them as the second guitar, mainly for playing the solos. Accompanying him was Damned for the role of the vocalist.
By the beginning of 2016, having formed a concert program and having removed the clip “Гнилостные бактерии”, Ungraved Apparition conducted a series of concerts in the cities of Russia. Since 2016, the musicians entered the studio to record a studio album. The main idea behind the album was the merging of two worlds: the world of depression and despair from incurable diseases, the sadism of bloody surgery experiments; And the afterlife, inhabited by the suffering souls of the dead people, the chilling horror of which is squeezed by convulsive cries in the throat.
Utilizing crushing heavy riffs interlaced with more melodic sections to create an environment of decay, spearheaded by a ghastly vocal attack, the band achieve their goal with aggression as well as atmosphere. PULSE_0 is a single concept of how musicians see the inner world of a person and his desperate struggle for every minute of life.
IMPURE WILHELMINA are premiering the first track taken from their new album, ‘Radiation’, which has been slated for release on July 7th
Regarding the new song, IMPURE WILHELMINA comment: “We have chosen the opening track ‘Great Falls beyond Death’ of our new full-length entitled ‘Radiation’ for the first premiere. The song starts with an easy melody line and a massive guitar that both evolve into a more dark and twisted tune. The vocals grow steadily more epic until the song coalesces into its melancholic finale – evoking fatalism, fanaticism, ignorance, and the fear of death. We see it as a perfect way to start the journey towards our new album – to take-off and then fall through an uncharted musical radiation.”
IMPURE WILHELMINA are furthermore revealing artwork and track-list of ‘Radiation’, which can both be viewed below.
1. Great Falls beyond Death (4:49)
2. Sacred Fire (5:22)
3. Child (5:28)
4. Torn (4:51)
5. We Need a New Sun (6:46)
6. Meaningless Memories (6:00)
7. Bones and Heart (4:37)
8. By Ravens and Flies (6:18)
9. Murderers (5:43)
10. Race with You (6:35)
The musical amalgamation of metal and melancholia is somewhat of an oxymoron, yet the doom sub-genre is thriving exactly on the tension created by this seeming contradiction. It is therefore an easy temptation to pigeon-hole ‘Radiation’ into that category, but that would constitute a severe injustice to the sixth full-length of IMPURE WILHELMINA.
The darkness of the soul that unfolds on ‘Radiation’ is feeding from many sources. Although they originally started out on a post-core flow, the Swiss have continuously drifted to a more rock based course, on which they are staying. Their forthcoming album finds some obvious points of reference such as later KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST and TIAMAT in their ability to create sublime melodic elegance. Yet there are also more obscure undercurrents such as a fearless embrace of dissonance and raw emotionality embodied by the stylistically quite different JOY DIVISION.
IMPURE WILHELMINA have been creating music on the border between rock and metal for over 20 years. Founded by vocalist and guitarist Michael Schindl and his brother David on drums in 1996, the band from Geneva made a strong impact with their self-released debut album ‘Afraid’ (1999), which saw the Swiss being regarded on the same level with compatriots such as NOSTROMO and KNUT from the local metallic hardcore scene.
During the next years, the line-up of IMPURE WILHELMINA underwent many changes, while revolving around main composer and lyricist Michael Schindl. These creative encounters allowed the band to endlessly rethink their direction and turn each of their albums into a singular piece, while keeping a unique touch, mixing intensity, heaviness, melody and melancholy.
IMPURE WILHELMINA released a self-titled 7″ in 1996, the ‘Undressing Your Soul’ EP in 1998, a split EP with ORDEAL in 2001, and five full-lengths so far. The critically acclaimed ‘I Can’t Believe I Was Born in July’ (2003) and ‘L’amour, la mort, l’enfance perdue’ (2005) have been viewed as key albums regarding the band’s style, while ‘Prayers and Arsons’ (2008) marked a new step in their evolution with the inclusion of more rock elements.
Not resting on their laurels, IMPURE WILHELMINA generated much enthusiasm and surprise with their recently released full-length ‘Black Honey’, which was first released on vinyl in 2014 and followed by a CD in 2015. This album features more prominent and clean singing. Overall less aggressive, ‘Black Honey’ boosts emotional intensity and melodic atmospheres, while revealing multiple new facets of the band.
Over the years, IMPURE WILHELMINA have garnered an excellent reputation as a particularly strong live entity and shared stages with illustrious groups such as NEUROSIS, ENTOMBED, THE OCEAN, GOJIRA, ISIS, ZATOKREV, and KRUGER.
With ‘Radiation’, IMPURE WILHELMINA have created an album that invites the listener to explore and discover new hidden treasures with every spin. Welcome to this journey into uncharted musical lands…

Today I spoke with Brian from Xibalba (pronounced shi-bal-buh) we talked about their new 7″ on Closed Casket Records, growing up in Pomona and Brooklyn NY being their 2nd home! read on.
* First off congrats on the the new release, what made you guys go for a 7″ release versus a full album this time around?
Thank you thank you! Well, we started writing a full length but only had a handful of songs when we thought it’d be cool to have at something for our 10 year anniversary. We recorded 3 songs that we felt were finished, with Taylor Young at the Pit Studios and he told us Closed Casket would be interested in putting it out. We’ve put out a few splits on CCA before in between full lengths, so it made sense. Justin from CCA hit us up and made it happen. We’re stoked on how everything came out. Closed Casket is a great label.
* How would you guys describe the progression you guys made from your 2015 album to these new songs?
I wouldn’t say there’s not too much progression honestly. Well, we did write two songs that are under 5 minutes between the two. If you know us, that’s way out of our character haha. We did try a few things in regards to structuring songs, I guess you could call that shit progressive.
* You guys got a great sound what do you down tune to? What gear does everyone favor to get that low bottom end but still come across with such clarity?
We’re tuned to A standard. That’s mostly Taylor when he records us. Me and him will discuss a tone that we have in mind before hand but at the same time keeping it in line with our low tone that gives us our sound. When tracking we use Marshall, Sunn, Peavy and mesa amps, I believe. But live we usually just use Peavy 5150/6505 amps. Not sure what drums Jason uses but they nice though.
“At one point we were all living in the same housing project together.”
* You’ve been around for about 10 years now right? What’s the secret to keeping it all together (most bands these days don’t last more than 5 years)
Yea, 10 fuckin years with these fucks. Honestly the key to it is friendship. We’ve been friends for over 10 years. We all knew each other before Xibalba. At one point we were all living in the same housing project together. We’ve all been close and remain close. As cheesy as it sounds, this is some real life brotherhood shit. My family loves the guys and their families love us. We’re pretty much family at this point.
* You guys play a nice mix of HC meets death metal – do you guys consider yourselves a HC band or a DM band?
I mean, we’re definitely a mixture or hybrid of the two. But regardless we love both and it shows in our music.
“I loved the brutality of death metal, the groove of hardcore specifically NYHC”
* What were your musical influences coming up? I can definitely hear some classic death metal influences in there (Morbid Angel, Obituary etc)
Oh most definitely, two of my favorites! When we started it was death metal, 90’s hardcore, Crowbar and lots of Sepultura. I loved the brutality of death metal, the groove of hardcore (specifically NYHC) and the soul/passion of doom metal.
* You guys are based up in Pomona right? Are you all born and raised there? I’ve only been there once for a couple of days – but I liked what I saw – you are close enough to LA if you need to be there but seem to have all the advantages of small town living too. Seems like there are some decent size venues too and I am sure a lot of National touring acts hit there too (like the best of both worlds)
Yes, me and Jensen grew up in Pomona and everyone one else is from the surrounding area. Now we’re spread all over Southern California/L.A. area. I love Pomona, it’s home. There is a few good venues here that get lots of big bands and a few years back Nate booked at a place here too.
* Speaking of National touring have you done any yet? or just regional shows?
We’ve done the touring things for years, been all over the world s few times over but don’t do it much anymore due work.
* Have any of the band visited NYC before? If so what did you guys think?
Most definitely, we’ve played there many times. Brooklyn is like our second home. Our original bassist lives there now. I love NYC. I know the guys in the band love it too.
* What’s been the best show you guys have played to date and why?
That’s a tough one. We’ve played so many great shows. One that sticks out in my mind is our last Brooklyn show we did for the record release/10 year anniversary, it was violent, fun and a lot of friends were there. Same with our LA/Pomona shows. It was fun.
* What sort of crowds do you draw is it mainly hardcore kids? or mainly metal kids? Which do you prefer? Back in the early 80’s metal crowds stuck to metal and punk kids to punk shows..it wasn’t till bands like Suicidal tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity and DRI started “crossing over” was it ok to admit to liking both hardcore punk and metal.
Our crowds are mainly hardcore kids and some metal heads. It doesn’t matter to me in regards to preference. Everyone is there for the same reason, to have fun and get their ass kicked.
* What does the name Xibalba mean? (I know its Mayan for “place of fear”) And what’s the correct pronunciation?
Correct, it means “Place of Fear”. It’s pronounced shi-bal-buh.
* You guys are well known for your pride in your Latin heritage – have you played any countries in Central or south America yet? If so what’s been your favorites and what countries would you love to play and why??
We’ve played Mexico, all of Central America. Not South America, yet. Hopefully that changes soon though.
* What can we expect from Xibalba in 2017?
We don’t have much planned. We have Sound at Fury fest in June, then after that we have some shows here and there around the globe. Other then that, we’re going to be writing for a full length.
* Any final words?
Thank you to everyone for the last 10 years of support and to everyone that is just discovering us. Pick up our new EP via Closed Casket Activities. Thank you for the interview! One love baby.
Long awaited 2nd full length of Turkey’s one of the earliest black metal band The Sarcophagus has finally got out. First release of the band after Niklas Kvarforth of Shining had left the band.
The sophomore full length, “Beyond This World’s Illusion” interconnected with dark mysteries of the ancient earth, arrays the crafty aesthetics of second wave black metal and the ferocious raw atmosphere at the same time. With their bewitching dark melody driven black metal music, The Sarcophagus are ready to take you to the realm of the medieval darkness.
Like the striking cover artwork by Paolo Girardi, Beyond This World’s Illusion inhabits the comforting ruins of ’90s extreme metal while introducing new horrors. ——–DECIBEL
We are linked to the roots, and ’90s black metal has a big influence on our music. It is very clear that as years pass and Black Metal becomes very popular it strays further away from its occult character. Black metal is not only a music genre, but a dark spiritual expression touching the soul. ———– Burak Sümer (Guitar/Synth)

Today I spoke with guitarist Benjamin Guerry from the French band The Great Old Ones, we spoke about the legendary H.P. Lovecraft, The cancer of organized religion and how nice English people are..read on!
* Hi Benjamin, loving your new album EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy – how long were you guys working on this album before you went in to record?
Benjamin Guerry (guitar, vocals): Hi! The composition work began just after the recording of our second album, “Tekeli-li”. It’s important to keep our head aware to ideas that can happen whenever. I spent more time composing this album because there is always a desire to make our music evolve.
* How did the recording process differ from your last 2 releases?
BG: The only difference was that we changed producer. We recorded this album with Mobo at Conkrete Studio, and the result is exactly as we wanted, very powerful, but with the atmospheres that characterize us.
* How did your record deal with Seasons of Mist come about? It’s a great label for you guys to be part of.
BG: Yes, we are very happy of that. After a tour with Shining, the Season of Mist boss has expressed interest in working with us. So we seized this opportunity, in order to offer our album a greater visibility, in Europe, but also in USA. We really hope that this collaboration will help us to play in as many countries as possible!
* What was the fans reaction to your Bjork cover like? Do you know if Bjork heard it at all? Her ex-husband artist Mathew Barney is a huge Black metal fan and has hosted many Black metal shows at his art studio here in NYC
BG: I don’t know if Bjork listened to our cover but I hope! Maybe Mathew Barney made her listen. The original song has a dramatic tension that sticks to our music. We did not expect this but this cover has made a lot of talk about it, our fans still tell us about it today.
“We are working hard to propose a big show, a true Lovecraftian experience.”
* Do you guys prefer recording or playing live? many black metal musicians are quite happy just to create and record music but do not like to play live, whereas others..it’s all about playing live.
BG: We love playing live. Recording an album is of course very stimulating, as much as the creative process itself. But we are working hard to propose a big show, a true Lovecraftian experience. So yes, we want to play as much as possible, in as many places as possible!
* By now it is well know the bands love for the great Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft? Are any of the bands fans of say Edgar Allen Poe or more modern horror writers who were inspired by Lovecraft like Clive barker or Stephen King?
BG: H.P. Lovecraft is the base of The Great Old Ones concept. He is a full member of our band so he will be with us for a long time. He created an exciting mythology, populated by charismatic creatures. There are still many stories to tell.
But of course, we are all fans of literature in general. Personally, I’m a big fan of Stephen King.
His work is extremely varied and almost always exciting. I’m also really like Maxime Chattam’s books. Very good thrillers.
* France wasn’t exactly known for its world class Death metal bands in the 90s but it produces some of the best Black metal bands in the world these days – why do you think this is?
BG: It’s been a long time that France gives birth to very good bands of black metal, but it’s true that it has accelerated in recent years. The press is increasingly interested in our country in terms of music, and an international fame is beginning to take hold. It’s really great to see so many talented formations emerged every year here. I hope this will continue, and allow groups to continue to export, whether on album or live.
* You guys are from the South west of France right? What’s the music scene there like? Do you get many international artists coming through Bordeaux? or do you have to travel to say Toulouse or Montpellier to see the big name acts?
BG: Exactly, we are from Bordeaux, city of wine. There are a lot of good bands here, in different music styles. Certainly you know most of these bands but I think about Year Of No Light, Gorod in particular. They are very respected each in their style, and have a real international notoriety.
* Speaking of France – you guys have done a decent amount of touring so far right? What’s the best part of going on the road? Any crazy tour stories yet?
BG: We try to play as much as possible. As explained previously, doing concerts is really important to us. It is of course the concert itself that is always the most exciting on tour. But going on tour is also really nice because it allows to take a rhythm only dedicated to the music.
To be honest, I don’t have true crazy stories to tell you. But we had the opportunity to play in some crazy places. During the last tour, we played in a real and beautiful Italian style theater, with a fantastic acoustic. It was an absolutely fantastic experience!
* How did you guys enjoy London when you played there? Had you been before as a band or just as tourists?
BG: Every time we played in London it was great. English people are really nice. It’s also a very beautiful city, with very varied districts.
Most of us have been there as a tourist, but we always enjoy walking around before playing.
“Makes us realize that religious fanaticism is truly a cancer for the world today”
* One of the things we hear a lot about France on the news here in the USA are the terror attacks – are things there as crazy as the mainstream media makes out? Is it just sensationalism? or are things much worse?
BG: Mainstream media always do in sensationalism. This is unfortunately their way of functioning. But what they tell comes from real facts, and very sad facts. Of course, we do not live in fear. This especially makes us realize that religious fanaticism is truly a cancer for the world today. I would even be tempted to say all the organized religions. We must fight to keep our total freedom of expression, especially through music, and Art in general
“We would really like to come to concerts in the US”
* Any plans to play the USA in the future?
BG: We would really like to come to concerts in the US, and of course we have that idea in mind. But it is very difficult when one is an underground band to go play there, especially for financial matters. But we keep hope!
* What plans do the band have for the rest of 2017?
BG: We will open for Inquisition for two gigs in April, and some festivals in August. At the moment we are working on a big European tour. We hope to announce good news soon.
* Any final words?
BG: Many thanks for your support and for this interview. We really hope to come to the US!
Today I spoke with Shane from St Petersburg , Fl Atmospheric Black Metal band Set and Setting, we spoke about googling the band name, crooked cops in Bumfuck Mississippi and much more.
* So how did the band come about? Was it always the plan to be instrumental?
The band started as a recording project with a friend a long time ago. We found Mark Etherington to play drums, and the full band started then. It was not originally planned to be instrumental.
* Having 2 drummers definitely gives you guys that extra low end..how on earth did that even come to pass? (I’ve got 2 drummers in mind and I can’t decide which to go with, I know, we’ll use both!)
My brother (Stephen Handal) used to come to our practices and just hang out. One day we were just jamming around not playing our songs and he started playing a floor tom or something with Mark and it sounded rad so we tried it on one of our own songs. It quickly became a full drumset and a real position as our second drummer.
“I personally have had bad experiences with singers and yeah that definitely came to mind when we decided to just give up on having a singer.”
* Have any of the band ever been in bands before with singers? If so was that so traumatic that you guys decided to forgo one for Set and Setting?
Yeah every band we have ever been in has had a singer. Mark, one of our drummers, currently plays guitar and is the lead singer for his other band band. I personally have had bad experiences with singers and yeah that definitely came to mind when we decided to just give up on having a singer. The main issue was that we just couldn’t find one that we liked.
* Does the name have any deeper meaning or was it chosen just as its a cool name?
Google Set and Setting and you will find out really quickly haha. It’s a term with a meaning. I suggest people doing this with all band names. Usually band names are well thought out and not just a random selection of words. Not always though.
* What are the guys influences? You guys are from St Pete right? The whole Tampa bay metal scene was pretty much brutal death metal back in the 80s and 90s
We all have many different influences. The band started as a Pink Floyd worship band. Obviously that has changed a lot these days, but I think you can still see it. I love old school Tampa Death Metal and used to be in a death / thrash band a few years ago but we were all too young to really live through that (I was born in ’88). I don’t really think it has a direct influence on the band, but most of us listen to those bands still.
* Speaking of – how is the Tampa metal scene these days? Would you say better or worse than the old days?
The Tampa metal scene is pretty small comparatively speaking to major cities. Most of the heavy bands that are like minded, are friends and we all play shows together at some point or another. We kind of dabble in other scenes and don’t really consider ourselves a metal band so I don’t know how accurate this is really haha.
* You guys are traveling to Europe soon – is this your first European tour or have you been before? Where are your expectations at?
This is our first European tour. We are obviously really excited to tour out there, and to play on a different continent should be a crazy experience. We try not to expect too much, but we know we will have a good time.
* How do you guys go about writing songs? Do they come from epic jam sessions or does everyone bring parts in? or is it more of a dictatorship where one person comes in with everyone’s parts written already?
I write the riffs and bring them to the band. Most of the time there will be a pretty solid idea of where the song needs to go but when I bring the songs to the table we work on them as a band and sometimes things change. Once a pretty solid song structure is formed, leads and more changes come into play and usually gets tweaked a little more by the time it is done. We don’t really jam too much. Everything is pretty thought out and planned ahead of time.
* There is definitely a psychedelic tinge to your music, any of the band use psychedelics at all? if so what ones?
This is something we like to leave up to the listener.
* Let’s talk equipment – what kind of guitars do you use? Do you have a “go-to” guitar?
I have a American made Fender Jazzmaster that I love and have been using since our second album. I don’t really see myself using much else, but I said that with my Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic Re-Issue that I don’t currently use anymore except on recordings haha.
* How about amps? I know a lot of guys these days swear by digital amp models, do you prefer that or a full blown stack? Any favorite amp brands you prefer?
We definitely don’t use digital amp models. Live I use an Orange Rockerverb 100 with an Orange 4×12 and 2×12, and Ryan uses a Peavy 6505 with matching 4×12. I have always used Orange but I woulnd’t consider us to be gear snobs. We both have simple set ups and just use what we have found to like over the years.
* What’s the recording process like for you guys? I would imagine it is not a ‘set up- bash the songs out in a live environment” type of recording situation?
We start but tracking the drums, song by song. I will play a scratch track guitar with them for reference and so I can play along with them. After that we track the bass, and rhythm guitars. We end with leads and any additional ambience, or extra instruments.
* I know you guys are not afraid to get out and tour? What’s been your favorite show so far and why?
We love to tour. We all wish we could do it more, but you know, we have bills to pay and jobs and loved ones and that isn’t easy to drop and hit the road. It was easier when we were younger but I think as we get older the touring will continue to slow down. I honestly have no idea what my favorite show of ours has been. I’ve never thought about that before and now thinking back, we have had a lot of killer shows. It would be impossible to narrow it down to one. I will narrow down one I’m looking forward to the most though – Dunk!Fest in Zottegem, Belgium on May 27th.
“A narcotic officer in bumfuck Mississippi pulled us over on an overnight drive, planted weed in our van, arrested one of us, charged us $600 in cash only and never filed the report once. Good times”
* Any crazy tour stories you can share?
A narcotic officer in bumfuck Mississippi pulled us over on an overnight drive, planted weed in our van, arrested one of us, charged us $600 in cash only and never filed the report once. Good times.
* Outside of your next European run what can we expect from Set and Setting in 2017?
We are touring the US (and probably some shows in Canada) in October of 2017. We are also playing the inaugural Dunk!USA in Burlington Vermont on this run, October 8th.
* Any final words?
Thanks for reading! We just released Reflectionless, our third full length album in January and we’d love it if you gave it a listen. Here are some links to keep up with us and/or support us:
Initiated from Tomsk, Russia during December, 2007, Funeral Tears is the solo Funeral Doom project of Nikolay Seredov (leader of bands like Стахановцы [Stakhanovite] and Taiga). Dark melodic music and lyrics convey the inner state of Nikolay at different periods of life, the struggle for spiritual balance, at war with himself for only purpose – to find his own eternal peace. With two grief-stricken full lengths and a split with Poyezd Rodina, Funeral Tears has made their place in the realm of underground Funeral Doom Metal.
The third full-length of Funeral Tears, “Beyond The Horizon”, clocking in at near an hour, creates the aura of getting buried into the grave of intense depression. Prepare to be crushed amongst the gloomy passages of 06 unadulterated Funeral Doom tracks.
“Beyond the Horizon”, the title track of the album,exhibits despondent melodies, slow yet heavy riffs, and wide range of vocal craftsmanship including scream, growl and spoken words within its over 09 minute duration. Thematically, the track is about the limitation of ours in terms of finding the truth; we can’t get beyond the horizon and and can’t find the truth from within. The only thing left for us is to live, and we will only be free when we will die.
The Projectionist (previously known as Lord Matzigkeitus), was initiated by the frontman Lord Matzigkeitus (Ex – Idolatry). He was soon joined by comrades from some other diabolic acts including Vile Insignia, Unrest, Ov Enochian, Belchior etc, however the lineup has continued to change. The music is centered on themes of hatred and isolation, to evoke new unexplored domains of intellectual fury and bleakness in black metal with complete despotic will poured over its endeavors.
Beginning their warpath in 2016, they released a full length and EP, entitled “Poisonous Disengagement” and “The GallowForest Eulogy” respectively, which attacked listeners with ghoulish screams and mournful yet ultimately violent guitar work, gaining good reviews in the process. Exalted Solitude is the Projectionist’s next phase in evolution. Refined and despotically black. Here, the ramparts of hell are fully manned and blotting out the sun with hateful arrows. Meant to vanguard the tortured isolation of Satanic rule. Lord Matzigkeitus, Parageist and new drummer Malphas bludgeon True cultists with eloquent savagery and indominable power.
With lavish artwork by Sang Ho Moon and Jan Pysander Whitney, and a guest guitar track by Christopher Hernandez of Xasthur. Out April 20th on Appalachian Noise Records and The True Plague Records jointly.
LAVA INVOCATOR is a mystical black metal formation from Ukraine, the idea of which originated in the small Swedish town of Lund, near Malmö… Dark storm clouds over the Öresund strait, black rocks, high forests and whispers of mysticism mixed in an infernal whirlwind of emotions – so originated the concept of the band.
The band was founded in 2015 by members of another Ukrainian black metal band DEF / LIGHT, after which the team immediately began partaking in concert activities. Infrequent, but with powerful and atmospheric performances, the band quickly won the minds of the circle of audiences, the red-hot lava was deeply ingested and filled among the souls of metalheads. The sound of LAVA INVOCATOR is a dense and verified alloy of iron and steel – tough and uncompromising, and at the same time melodic and atmospheric.
“Mörk” (from Swedish – “Dark”) is the debut work of the band. With the 07 nefarious tracks, the generated music of this album walk the pathway of the traditional black metal, inspired by such icons of the genre such as Dissection, Mayhem, Dark Funeral, Ulver, Darkthrone etc. The presence of both malicious ferocity and dismal aura of black metal can be descried.
The Band Stated
“The album is conceptual in essence and puts the listeners in the picture of the story of an intangible essence, which is dark and gloomy in nature”
Pennsylvania Black Metal band Dumal have released a new song on Youtube today , “Devour the child” an exclusive single recorded for the “Black Disc” and available via Omega Magazine issue #4 limited to 200 copies worldwide.
They are also pleased to announce they will be playing legendary NYC venue St Vitus in Brooklyn supporting Finnish Black Metal legends Behexen on June 5th
