MODERN RITES & OTHER WORLD – album release

As summer draws to a close, we are thrilled to release two exquisitely crafted works of underground Black Metal. The second album from MODERN RITES - featuring guitarist Berg (AARA) and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Warren (KUYASHII) - unites, elevates and perfects the band's vision, merging cold Industrial precision with melodic grandeur. Meanwhile, the new album from US band OTHER WORLD unites cinematic and hypnotic Black Metal with the fierce drive of Death Metal and the imposing gravitas of Doom.

You can listen to both albums directly here and via our YouTube channel (MODERN RITES, OTHER WORLD):

These two unique interpretations of Black Metal have been highly praised by fans and the press:

MODERN RITES - "Endless":

"MODERN RITES have learned from their debut album and improved on everything, resulting in eight songs, (plus intro), of really strong and enjoyable modern Black Metal." (Wonderbox)

"... a true example of how the fusion of industrial and black metal creates a powerful explosion." (Metalhead.it)

"MODERN RITES creates a buzzing, haunting intensity that’s far from ordinary, but It’s such an emotionally heavy record, it may require a certain mood to fully listen to it." (Metal Epidemic)

OTHER WORLD - "Tenebrous":

"OTHER WORLD delivers an exciting take on the genre with a broad perspective." (Vampster.com)

"I am sure OTHER WORLD are destined to move onto global recognition because this album deserves to be heard by all Black Metal fans." (Ave Noctum)

"Darkness and sorrow thread through "Tenebrous," a record that explodes with black and death metal synergies but holds inside it unshakeable scars." (Meat Mead Metal)

"Endless" and "Tenebrous" are available to order on CD and Vinyl from our EU, US and Bandcamp shops.
