A descent into death, dissolution and rebirth. Built around the imagery of earth, blood and fire, this release moves through the space between grief and annihilation - where the body returns to the ground, identity is stripped away, and destruction becomes a passage toward something unknown. Ritualistic repetition and stark imagery create a world where death is not an ending, but part of an endless cycle. Black metal darkness meets ritualistic atmosphere, raw intensity and existential decay. No salvation. No return to what was. Only ashes, earth, and what rises from them. --- Released by Animi Vultus | AV005 Digital distribution AVE RECORDS LTD // Australia
The forest watches. The earth remembers. The night delivers its judgment. In the darkest depths of the forest, humanity is stripped of its protection. Moder jord - Mother Earth - awakens as an ancient and merciless force, sending beasts into the night to deliver her judgment. Flesh returns to the soil. Blood fills the earth. The boundaries between man, animal and nature disappear. This is not nature as sanctuary. It is nature as predator. Nature as judge. Nature as death. A primitive and ritualistic descent into the Swedish wilderness, where the night offers no escape and mankind is ultimately returned to the earth from which it came. ANIMI VULTUS Black Metal / Ritual / Ambient / Drone / Noise A new ritual from AVE Records. --- Released by Animi Vultus | AV005 Digital distribution AVE RECORDS LTD // Australia
Before the silence, there was doubt. ANIMI VULTUS returns to the most solitary corners of existence - consciousness, isolation, meaninglessness, and the absence of anything beyond the self. A raw black metal EP built from cold atmosphere, primitive aggression and existential darkness, exploring the human mind when faith has disappeared and nothing remains to give existence a higher purpose. There is no revelation here. No divine presence. No promised meaning. Only the individual, alone with consciousness, confronted by the void. Recorded in the raw tradition of underground black metal, this is music stripped of comfort and ornament - old, imperfect and uncompromising. An older chapter in the sound of ANIMI VULTUS. Raw Black Metal / Existential / Atmospheric --- AVE.LTD004 Recorded during winter/spring 2004 Originally released by AVE RECORDS LTD as limited edition mini CDR in 2004

Humus. Tumulus. Fauna DISEMBOWELLED. There are dusty spiders breeding in the distance between seconds. There are teeth in the constellations. There is something after eternity. we were wrong about eternity eternity is only the corridor only the corridor only the corridor only the corri— I am the stars but the stars have imploded and I am still here inside their implosion I am still falling inward with them and there is no bottom because the bottom has a mouth because the mouth has another night inside it because night is not night anymore it is an organ it is hungry it is old old old old OLDER THAN GOD'S FIRST ERROR and I can hear the black grass-snakes praying inside my throat and they are using my voice now they are using my teeth now they are saying AFTER ETERNITY THERE IS STILL TIME and IT IS NOT OUR TIME.
8 track album Wintaar is one of the latest projects of Eugene Pilnikov (1993-2023), a black metal/dungeon synth musician from Mikhailovsk. The aesthetics of the project is heavily inspired by Swiss act Paysage d'Hiver, but the most of the material is way more melodic and at times punk-influenced.
Mízgaro's (pronounced "mith - ga - rraw") second EP. It has been published this very week, the last one of July. Slow and filthy. Everything done by me, Nicoñito (alias Níscalo, alias Sigþiuda). The cover art is a section of a photo by Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman, called «Voluptas Mors».
The band's name is pronounced "bee – see – gaw – thoos". This release belongs to a series I'm making with the whole works of the poet. All lyrics written by Jorge Rodríguez Manrique de Lara (1440 - 1479), though the last song is only ascribable. Mixed and mastered by Salva Campuzano. Everything else by me, Sigþiuda.
Mízgaro's first EP. Mízgaro is pronounced "mith - ga - rraw". So far, I'm really happy with everything I've done (or am doing) with this project. Everything done by me, Nicoñito (alias Níscalo, alias Sigþiuda), but foto by Horst.
Doedskvad's second EP. It took me so long to mix this, but at the end, though it is not perfect, I am pleased with the result. The lyrics are poems by Leopoldo María Panero, a spanish poet I've always really liked (the third song is actually the second poem I ever read of him, back then when I was 12). The cover art is a painting by William Blake. The rest (all music, recording, mix, etc) was done by me, Sigþiuda. The titles mean Hymn(s) to Satan, though I suppose it is not a difficult translation to guess.
