+ Betheos Abshalom - Instrumental Lóbrego +

Dark ambient / black metal. Melancholic, ethereal, experimental, obscure, and holy.
Free download as always.

Bandcamp - [here]

+ Nattesorg - Out of the Tombs +

At first glance, standard "raw, loud, grind-ish black metal".
Yet listening deeper, groovy drum patterns and lively riffing become apparent. A very novel experiment on an otherwise hateful, furious music style.

+ Hguols - Redux² +

Brutal, emotional avant-garde music from a black metal veteran.
Symphonic black metal, noise, ambience, neoclassical flourishes and harsh electronics all combine into something that may sound weird on paper, but is utterly transcendent in practice.

+ Animae Capronii - And Hourglass of Lifetime (remastered) +

Gothic black. It's from 2008 but has a mid 90s atmosphere.
It's the "turning point" of this project becoming Christian, making the lyrics very sincere yet dark, and making the music itself more "obscure" than future albums.

+ Betheos Abshalom - Radix Spiritualis +
FREE DOWNLOAD.

Symphonic/atmospheric black metal.
Emotional and keyboard-centric but not without a healthy dose of aggression.

+ Noisgoroth - Tåkeskogens forbannelse +

Raw, dark, cold Norwegian black. With a little death metal influence.
Christian in theology; TOTAL old-school spirit in sound.

+ Himmelriket - Være med oss til evig tid +

Kind of experimental -- raw old-school black in musical terms, but with a "brighter" and less "brutal" attitude than standard music of this style.
I tried to capture this mix of rawness and subtle positivity, in the cover artwork.

+ Zombie Mortician - Northern Zombie Forest +

Brutal death metal/grindcore but an experimental take on that style - murky goregrind production, more technical riffs etc.
For fans of bands Enmity or Orchidectomy.

+ Sanctified Ethos - The True Art of Isolation // Sorrow for Those Who Burn +
2 demos compilation. Prices all reduced, as the artist specifically asked APP to keep all profits.

Raw hypnotic atmospheric black. Fits in perfectly with a lot of "forest metal" / "cascadian black".
VERY isolating as its name suggests.

+ Greatchrist Opengrave - Bound for a Thousand Years +

Death/black hybrid. Something like Behemoth or Hate, except instead of being released on Metal Blade or Nuclear Blast, it's been smashed into pieces and made as noisy and inaccessible as possible.

If you didn't see the update, one of our artists Kenneth/"Naglet Nattesorg" was in the typhoon in the Philippines. He and his family ARE ALL ALIVE / OKAY. However there's a lot of damage from the typhoon and they have no electricity.

He says, "All the sales from my music Will go to help here in Philipines"

I want to help also, thus for the foreseeable future, all profits from the following projects will NOT go to APP but rather, go directly to him:
Auralian Disharmony
Desmodus Rotundus
End of a Dream
Frostnoise
Greatchrist Opengrave
Himmelriket
Horror Tomb
Kenneth Holsen
Nattesorg
Noisgoroth
Taakeland
Turn to Christ
Turned to Blood
Zombie Mortician

+ Himmelriket - Guds trone i himmelen +

Drone-ish doom metal. Only guitars, no other sounds. Dark and holy. Minimalist and artistic. Not many people will understand this style, but those who do, will love it.
FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, 100% OF PROFITS FROM THIS ALBUM WILL GO TO THE ARTIST + HIS FAMILY IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH THE AFTERMATH OF TYPHOON RAI.

+ Noisgoroth - Laid His Mountains and His Heritage +

Blasting, cold, dark - made in 2021 but straight from the late 90s. First picked up by a secular label(!) but the artist ultimately went with us! If you don't mind albums where tracks can start to sound similar, you will love this - absolutely suffocating.

Btw

Thank you for the kind words!

+ Animae Capronii - Save Me from the Darkest Nights (remastered) +

A mix of influences: pagan/black, folk, and power metal. Experimental, but very "medieval", "romanticist", and undeniably "European". Very 90s flavored by all accounts. If you like that sound/atmosphere, I definitely think this is worth your time. Remastered in 2022.

+ Beksvart - From Fear of Evil +

A unique mix of raw black metal, and doom metal. The result is abrasive and harsh, yet distinctly trudging and apocalyptic. The closest comparison I can think of is Licht Erlischt or perhaps Ruins of Beverast but this is definitely its own thing.

+ Desmodus Rotundus - Pillar in the Temple of My God +

Rests somewhere in between a bunch of extreme styles (black/death/grind/noise/etc), adds some groove à la Fluids(!) and then burns them all down in a holy theological fire, fitting for its themes from the book of Revelation.

+ Naglet - Full of Grace and Truth +

Black crust with clear influence from punk, hardcore, and noisegrind. Brutal, and absolutely disgusting. ANY fans of these styles owe it to themselves to check this out.

+ Servus Dei - In the Depths of Hearts +

Heavily influenced by Animae Capronii. Has that same lo-fi sound, and has that same blend of melody and gothic/atmospheric moments that seemed to be so popular in the late 90s underground.

Listen - [here]
CD-R - [here]

+ Sanctified Ethos - To Deny This False World +

Atmospheric contemplative black metal.
The previous demo from this project was more "atmospheric". This one seems to lean more "black metal".

+ Betheos Abshalom - Ante Diem +

Ambient black metal. Very obscure and surreal/dreamy. Devoted to Christ yet made with the same underground spirit as any secular band.

PS - APP put out a couple harsh noise/industrial releases recently as well. Fistornoise - Mordertrost and Tognaw Ang Hangin - Taas Ang Bukid. They don't warrant their own separate posts on a "metal" forum but definitely check 'em out if you like that general style.

+ Improthrone - Crowns like Gold +

Very abstract kind of black metal with huge psychedelic and sludge influences. Highly unique, closest approximation I could give is Oranssi Pazuzu or Njiqahdda.

+ Animae Capronii - Black Swans Cry Blood-Red Tears Under the White Moon +

Some heavy moments, some ambient/atmospheric moments. ALWAYS underground. Think Forgotten Woods; Gehenna; that kind of thing. Remastered in 2022.

+ Psychedelic Church - Acceptance of the Holy Trinity +

Psychedelic / harsh noise / ambient music. Slightly dark/sinister, yet serene and relaxing. Primordial journey toward true light.

Digital version is 77:77. Physical is 72:38 in order to fit on the disc but should still sound virtually identical.

Experimental yet atmospheric blend of drony dark ambient with dub percussion.
