“Probably the best Melodic Swedish Blackened Death metal album of the last two decades”

“An Instant Classic”

“Mandatory purchase for any fan of the golden age of Melodic Swedish Black/Death Metal”

“Jon Nödtveidt’s best disciples to date”

Test presses have been approved and production is underway. We expect to receive the records in the coming weeks. The sound is absolutely incredible as the master has been specially remastered for vinyl format. Hi-Fi quality.

Once again, we chose 180g certified black vinyl as the properties of this PVC are best for achieving the highest possible sound quality. The “fantasy” records (coloured, splatters, etc…) are very visually striking, and they have their public, however the audio in this type of vinyl, which mixes PVC with different properties, is not as good as the same audio cut in a 180g certified black vinyl. Here we work to obtain the best sound quality and for this we use the best support: 180g certified black vinyl.

The audience with HI-FI or HI-END equipment looking for excellent dynamics, organic and surround sound, and overall superior quality will find it in this release.

Temple of Darkness Records is proud to announce the signing of MORIBUND DAWN. “Dark Mysteries of Time & Eternity” is the highly anticipated debut album, to be released in 2022 on vinyl & cassette

The fourth full-length album by Greek black metal gods Rotting Christ, originally released back in 1997,  is probably one of the most melodic yet atmospheric work of their career and represents a turning point with the predecessor albums by including gothic arrangements while unequivocally maintaining the band’s mark. ‘’A Dead Poem’’ with an unique ethereal aura invokes feelings of nostalgia and includes few of the best Rotting Christ songs ever written, now is truly a classic in metal history.

Guest vocals on “Among Two Storms” by Fernando Ribeiro (Moonspell), all keyboards by XY (Samael). Recorded at Woodhouse studios (Tiamat, The Gathering, Sentended, etc.) in Germany and produced by XY (Samael).

In our tireless effort to always obtain the best fidelity and sound quality for our releases, “A Dead Poem” has been  specially mastered for vinyl format and cut at 33RPM on 180gr black vinyl to keep the original dynamics and dB levels of the original master.

Temple of Darkness Records is glad to announce that Sacamentum “ Far Away From The Sun” studio album is finally available again on both LP and CD, at our store

SACRAMENTUM’s fantastic 1996 debut album “Far Away From The Sun” – finally available on vinyl again! This new edition of the Swedish Black/Death Metal masterpiece has been newly re-mastered for vinyl by legendary producer Dan Swanö and both the LP and the new CD version feature an unreleased bonus track, a great sounding 1996 demo version of the song “Awaken Chaos” which later appeared on their 2nd album “The Coming Of Chaos” (1997).

The 6 page LP booklet features new artwork, rare photos and liner notes by journalist Olivier Zoltar Badin (Terrorizer Mag). Available at the Temple of Darkness records store.

Temple of Darkness Records is glad to announce that Unanimated “Ancient God of Evil” studio album is finally available again on both LP and CD, at our store

Arguably, one of the best Swedish Melodic Black/Death Metal albums of all time, Unanimated’s “Ancient God Of Evil”, the Holy Grail of the genre so to say, is finally being re-released – and it will be officially available on vinyl for the very first time! It has been remastered for vinyl from the original tape by the great Dan Swanö and now shines in new splendor, waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation 25 years after its initial release.

The new LP layout was created by Erik Danielsson (Watain), a long time fan and close friend of the band. The 180gr vinyl comes in a gatefold sleeve and with a 4page booklet containing the lyrics as well as liner notes by Chris Dick (Decibel Magazine, US) based on an interview with bass player and songwriter Richard Cabeza he conducted in 2019. Available at the Temple of Darkness records store.

Temple of Darkness Records is glad to announce that Unanimated’s third studio album is finally available again on both LP and CD, at our store. After their legendary 2nd album “Ancient God Of Evil” (1995), one of the best Swedish Melodic Black/Death Metal albums of all time, it took Sweden’s Unanimated 14 years to release another album, and what a beast it turned out to be! “In The Light Of Darkness” (2009) displays the band’s rougher, more brutal side, while still incorporating their trademark sound and addictive songwriting.

The album was produced by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Mayhem, Tribulation). It features guest musicians such as Sebastian Ramstedt (Necrophobic, Ex-Nifelheim), Erik Wallin (Merciless) and Set Teitan (Ex-Dissection, Ex-Watain) and the layout was created by Erik Danielsson (Watain)

The 180gr LP contains an unreleased bonus track: a re-recorded version of the song “Blackness of the Fallen Star” which had originally appeared on their debut album “In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead” (1993).

Furthermore the LP features a gatefold sleeve and a 4page booklet containing the lyrics as well as liner notes by Chris Dick (Decibel Magazine, US) based on an interview with bass player and songwriter Richard Cabeza he conducted in 2019. Available at the Temple of Darkness records store.

Good news for all those lovers of the Pennsylvania-based Black Metal band Dumal. Their debut album “The Lesser God” (2017) has been internationally recognized for being one of the best Atmospheric and yet melodic Black Metal album out from the US recently.

If you are not still familiarized with this band, and you like the riffs and atmospheres of bands as diverse as Sacramentum, Dissection, Mgla, Batushka, Satanic Warmaster, Taake, Arckanum, Uada or Burzum, surely Dumal is going to freeze your blood , since the trio has managed to unite in a truly virtuous and skillful way that amalgam of influences and arrangements to create a masterpiece where all these elements work together in harmony, being “The Lesser God” a genuine expression of black metal.

VIOGRESSION (US) are considered to be one of the pioneering bands
of the Death metal genre. Two decades after its debut album («Expound and Exhort” from 1991) they are back with:
“A Pure Formatily” 4 new mid-tempo tracks of obscure and hypnotic Death metal. Vocalist Brian DeNeffe has done his best work to date, his sickening voice is not human but the sonic representation of rot and decay.
The superb guitars riffs & solos are of extreme beauty and the bass
and drums are technically perfect.

The overall aura of “A Pure Formality” is dramatic, intense, emotive and yet brutal

This new album is pure dark art, apocalyptic and yet emotional and evocative. Synth music with a slow and calculated atmosphere that may even eclipse bands natives in the genre largely thanks to the fact that
Richard Lederer has been really inspired and brilliant in this album.

DIE VERBANNTEN KINDER EVAS “Nachtaugen: Live In Vaduz” DVD [Cat.Ref.:TOD050/DVD]

Price: 15,00 €

In 1996, Die Verbannten Kinder Evas and Weltenbrand performed live in the city of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The event was recorded, mixed and later that year released on split VHS tape, by M.O.S. Records Ltd., as “Nachtaugen, Live In Vaduz.”

The first press released to the public, currently known as the “Extended Version”, had a total duration of 70 minutes and featured both live concerts plus one video-clip of each band as
bonus. In the later re-presses, the two bonus video-clips were omitted, resulting in a tape of only 60 minutes.

The DVD you´re holding in your hand, is the reissue of the “Extended Version” tape in digital format, including only Die Verbannten Kinder Evas´ video footage, that is his live performance & bonus video-clip.

To be faithful to the original, the film has been preserved in its unaltered form, hence the reason why the 4:3 aspect ratio and the 1996 mixing have been maintained. However, to improve the visual experience, we have added extra material providing the DVD with a menu, an outro and also a photo gallery.

Additionally, the original video and audio have been remastered using the latest technology and post-production techniques. For over a year now, a team of professionals have been working closely together, to archive both the highest possible image and sound quality. Once we reached the optimal result, we proceeded to the migration of the original remastered recording from analog format to digital format.

The original recording was previously only available on analogue VHS tapes, a fragile medium with a limited life-span, consequently it was condemned to disappear over the next years. This type of recording media is prone to deterioration and degradation due to the chemical decay of the tape’s magnetic components.
Therefore, this DVD can be considered a relic, not only because we have managed to rescue the only visual document of Die Verbannten Kinder Evas to date, but also because it has been improved and finally transcribed to the next generation of recording systems; the digital format. Amongst other feature, digital recording media has a life expectancy far superior to the already outdated magnetic videotapes. In that way, this DVD will preserve Die Verbannten Kinder Evas´ visual testimony over time.

Vinyl-effect DVD with a solid black ridged spiral running around the outside of the disc on the printed side, looking exactly like grooves in a vinyl record. Housed in a card wallet.

This DVD is the same which is included in the double vinyl set. If you are going to purchase the double vinyl set, you will receive this DVD as part of the set.

 

A new section has been added to the shop. From now on, you can purchase some of the most relevant BOOKS about the metal scene.
