NH-016B *SATANIC WARMASTER "Strenght & Honour - 2007 version" CD (12,-)
Northern Heritage is proud to finally present the definitive reissue of possibly the single most powerful Finnish black metal album of the late 90's: "Strength and Honour". Combining the satanic aggression of early Finnish black metal with the arising militant pagan awareness, this album was instrumental in the subcultural development of Finnish (black) metal. A reissue was deemed necessary because thousands of copies have been sold in several different editions, but lacking the clarity and perfection of a definitive version. That version shall be available now. Despite being a well-known name these days, SATANIC WARMASTER was known from it's inception as a serious and provocative project. It's musical awareness of black metal tendencies from EMPEROR to MUTIILATION and moreover, awareness of the heritage of ancient pagan traditions both in national resurgence and through the witchcraft of Satan, the adversary, with it's unconscious symbolism to modern heavy metal youth as the destructive energies in man, makes the album concrete and evil. It's possessed with a feeling that makes you think it's mere presence will turn over tombstones and set churches on fire. Halfway through this album, back in '99, this reviewer was turned from scepticism towards modern Finnish black metal, to acclaiming it's potential future existence as a radical artistic force. The truth of this prophecy has since been proved numerous times, by the same artist, and others unmentioned. Whereas SATANIC WARMASTER's demo works presented a rather different style, the spiritual root of the later works must be found in the obscure, almost secret work of BLUTRACHE, whose demo has been dug up from the archives to serve as part of the current reissue. Also the bonus track "Legion Werwolf" from S&H tape and vinyl version is included here. The CD is remastered from the original master tape with a different vision in mind and has better dynamics and definition, yet containing the esoteric power of the original savage production. The booklet includes new artwork, all the controversial lyrics plus an expanded manifesto revealing some of the aims of the artist in originally creating this Carelian Pan-satanist manifestation and a meditation on its consequences and where he now stands in respect to it.

NH-053 RIDE FOR REVENGE "King of Snakes" CD (12,-)
Heaviest and darkest black metal ritual emerging from Finland! Imagine extremely downtuned version of the slowest Beherit tracks, and you might come close, but still find decent amount of originality. Suffocating guitar & bass sound roars in depts, while stiff and heavy drumming, obscure echoing voice and occasional keyboards and effects deliver the final touch for this masterpiece. Don't expect standard or generic copycat so common in the scene, Ride For Revenge is ready crush with authentic dark cruelty! Full color covers and disc print.

NH-054 BAPTISM "Grim Arts of Melancholy" CD (12,-)
BAPTISM is known as one of the most reliable Finnish black metal acts with it's instantly recognizable, yet deeply traditional, sort of puritanical "Eliterian" musical worship and esotericism. Referencing both older metal and a newly awakened purpose for a more extreme form of Luciferian art, BAPTISM's work is always more than mere music - it's a theistic black metal ceremony. As it is, "Grim Arts of Melancholy" stands as a natural continuation of the work BAPTISM initiated in the 90's. Sargofagian's articulated vocals unveil mysteries of a blackest nature in the foreground of a deeply darkened, almost insane, mostly mid-paced riffscape, which seems this time to have kept to a minimum the use of beautiful counterpointing of melodies. Old-school thrashing parts are captured amidst songs in their flight across godless depths, yet return to obscurity as soon as the listener is awakened from the morbid trance of a mid-paced minor key hammering. For most of the time the whole album sounds like one single extended ceremonial track dedicated to Azazel or some other force whose name is unknown to mankind. It achieves this atmosphere without using standard tricks such as extremely lo-fi production; in fact, this one probably has the clearest and most dynamic production BAPTISM ever had. It serves it's purpose here to highlight the nature of the album as a sort of anti-symphony, a prayer, a clear vision of doom. The messages of BAPTISM's "Grim Arts" are serious prophecies, not entertaining background music!
6 panel cover booklet including exclusive artwork and for the first time all lyrics printed also in CD version. 2xLP version will come much later in 2008.

NH-055 DEATHSPELL OMEGA "Manifestations 2000-2001" CD (12,-)
It has been in the works for years, but here is finally the official CD version of the early Deathspell Omega material that was available on vinyl only as of today. It gathers the songs included on the splits with Moonblood, Mütiilation and the Black Metal Blitzkrieg V/A LP : by far the most primitive material of all and in all aspects, pure underground Black Metal. No unreleased songs : if you own the vinyls, this is of little relevance for you!

NH-056 DEATHSPELL OMEGA "Manifestations 2002" CD (12,-)
This contains the last and most intense manifestations of the first era of the band, 8 unreleased songs, initially intended to be featured on the Crushing the Holy Trinity V/A and on a cancelled split with defunct Cantus Bestiae. Harsh and in the style of a more frantic "Inquisitors of Satan", some of these ideas have developed to sketches for later recordings.
