Hexcastle - Unholy Empire Trilogy

Medieval Black Metal/Ambient from Irapuato, Mexico

A dark march where the echoes of medieval catacombs intertwine with the thunder of battle, delivering a manifesto of raw epic medieval black metal!! A primitive descent into raw medieval darkness. Three chapters of 11:11, bound into the sigil 33:33,echoing the old tapes of the ’90s. Black metal strikes at dawn, at the core, and at the final fall, guided by dungeon passages that serve the ritual, not the void. A work of rusted steel, ancient gloom, and Luciferian fire—the purest manifestation of Hexcastle’s unholy craft.

1. Blood Oaths Carved upon the Frozen Throne 11:11 2. Iron Psalms to the Fallen Prince 11:11 3. Trumpets of Doom in the Valley of Corpses 11:11

Ardente - Aux portes de l'horizon

Raw/Medieval Black Metal from Rennes, France

Ardente is a one-woman band founded in 2020 that plays traditional underground black metal. Raw black metal with a decadent soul, sparse sounds and sometimes no vocals, some blackgaze influences, but with a certain narrative character that compensates for the lack of screams. No originality, no surprises, just old-school passion. The prospects are promising for fans of the 90s.
