Description
A VERY SPECIAL COLLECTION OF EXCLUSIVE TRACKS FROM SOME OF THE GREAT BLACK METAL ARTISTS OF THE CURRENT PEACEVILLE ROSTER, COINCIDING WITH THE 35th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LABEL. PRESENTED ON NUMBERED VINYL.
Peaceville presents a very special collection of tracks from the more black metal-oriented acts on the label, featuring a variety of new & recent bands, among firmly established legendary acts & influential names, with plenty of great showcases for what is to come in 2023, & also including a majority of exclusives.
This pressing of 'Dark Side of the Sacred Star' is presented on limited numbered vinyl.
Mortem - Aftermath
A new & (for now) exclusive track recorded for this release from the early Norwegian scene legends. The unmistakable eerie synth sounds & sinister riffs of mastermind Steinar Sverd Johnsen (Arcturus) supplies the magic, with Marius Vold's snarling layers of grimness narrating proceedings.
RUiM - O Sino da Igreja (Threat Mix)
An exclusive treat of what is to come in this new chapter for Vltimas & former Mayhem guitarist Blasphemer, AKA Rune Eriksen. Harking back somewhat to the 'Wolf's Lair Abyss' period of Mayhem for its inspiration, & featuring Blasphemer himself on vocal duties as well as guitars, delving into deeply spiritual & voodoo themes, this is the taste of a new brutal storm of darkness looming.
Darkthrone - Impeccable Caverns of Satan (Edit)
The Norwegian masters return with their stellar 'Astral Fortress' opus, proving that the flame is burning as strongly as ever for Fenriz & Nocturno, for this blackened old heavy metal epic of creeping riffs.
Sigh - Mayonaka No Kaii (Alternate Vocal)
A special alternate vocal version of the track featured on latest opus, the highly-revered 'Shiki', Sigh continue their eclectic & multi-layered journey through the weird & the wonderful world of blackened metal.
Doedsmaghird - Then, to Darkness Return
The more grim & malevolent twin to Dodheimsgard's current deep labyrinthian explorations of existence, this is the birth of Vicotnik's new accompanying project, with a devastating & unrelenting attack of primal black metal, bringing to mind the work on his own 'Satanic Art' era of Dodheimsgard.
Kvist - Gaerne Sia av Fjorden (Demo)
A very special demo version in instrumental form, of a new track to kickstart the next leg of Kvist's legacy, over 25 years since their one & only studio album 'For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike' made its mark on the world as a highlight of mid-90s atmospheric & melodic black metal.
Mork - Alrunens Hevn
An exclusive & new track recorded at the same time as Mork's recent new album studio recordings, this is also a fine taste of the kind of evolution to be found on the next Mork opus, coming early 2023. Atmospheric, melodic & at times near-anthemic black metal excellence.
Mortuary Drape - The Secret Lost
A new track from the upcoming & highly awaited studio album from the influential & long running Italian legends. Stunning high calibre blackened occult heavy metal in Mortuary Drape's distinctive style showing why the revered Italians have deservedly been at the forefront of the genre for decades.
Avmakt - Bitter Carved Hollow
The name may not be familiar to many just yet, but this new band of known musicians out of Darkthrone's original hometown of Kolbotn delivers some prime raw & evil sounding black metal, with an old school sound & execution, & riffs straight from the depths of hell's cauldron.
Hellripper - Mephistophelian Dreams
Scotland's Hellripper continues its ascent towards the pinnacle of the blackened thrash/speed genre, & as the new album heads towards an early 2023 release, here is a special & exclusive 2022 rendition of the classic 'Mephistophelian Dreams', recorded for this release. Hyperspeed dark &
