| Greetings, Out now is the first volume of øjeRum’s “Reversed Cathedral” series as CD/DL (198th Cycle) and newcomer CALDON GLOVER’s “Labyrintia” CD/DL (212th Cycle). And finally, after months of pressing delays we’ve now received the vinyl versions of the magistral RAISON D’ÊTRE “Daemonum” 2LP and now sold out RAISON D’ÊTRE “Daemonum + Daemoniacum” 3LP (178th Cycle), as well as the joint collaboration album by SAÅAD and SÁDON; SAÁADON “мреть (наутро ночь)” LP (180th Cycle). We’re currently processing all pending orders, thank you for your patience with these in this unprecedented chaos in the vinyl industry. Note that things are back to normalcy and we’ve since found more reliable pressing plants to work with. |
| øjeRum “Reversed Cathedral” CD / DL (198th Cycle) Using as sole sound source an antique German made Mannborg Harmonium, øjeRum skillfully crafted long drony melodic pieces filled with a sense of longing, of fading memories. Located in an old house in the Danish country side, in a room mostly left unused and only heated for special occasions, the harmonium has been affected by the dampness of its environment, causing it to slowly deteriorate and giving it a very unique sound and character. These attributes were accentuated and put forth with the choice of slow, repetitive passages, at times almost reaching a breaking point. We’ve packaged the whole in an A5 sleeve which features 6 collages from the Reversed Cathedral series. Another tour the force by this uncompromising and highly talented artist.Edition of 300 copies, in 6 panel A5 sleeve. 12 Tracks. Running Time 78:15 Digital Available via Bandcamp Shop |
| CALDON GLOVER “Labyrintia” CD / DL (212th Cycle) We warmly welcome US based soundscape artist Caldon Glover. Thematically “Labyrintia” was imagined as a structure in space older than humanity that runs sideways to our own universe, connecting physical and temporal spaces in our universe and the ur-universe alike that would otherwise be impossible to reach. Sonically it uses a blend of primitive acoustic folk instruments, as well as organic and electronic sound sources to create an ancient and timeless sound that evokes feelings of the rituals of a cthonic cults lost in other realms, as they worked tirelessly to open a door into this endless maze, to find their way home or to further their journey. Artwork by Nihil.Edition of 300 copies in 6 panel Digisleeve, matt lamination. 7 Tracks. Running Time 59:25Release Date October 14 2022 Digital Available via Bandcamp Shop |
| raison d’être “Daemonum” CD/2LP (178th Cycle) Daemonum marks the 30-years anniversary of raison d’être. With Daemonum raison d’être scrutinizes the secrets of the Shadow; the Anima/Animus archetypes and the manifestation of them as a Soul image. By learning to listen for the voice of our subconscious self, we can call that voice our Daemon, our internal genius that provide guidance, we can find hidden potential within ourselves. Daemonum is the album of the daemons.Hunting in the shadows, for the hidden and the opposite, Daemonum is another crossing, deep down to the shaded domains of the inner world. Struggling in blindness and oblivion, guidance and protectors are needed to unfold the obscure matters of our unconsciousness.

| SAÁADON “мреть (наутро ночь)” CD/LP (180th Cycle) In 2018, the longtime partnership between the St-Petersburg based duo Sádon (familiar to us from their collaboration with Treha Sektori) & France’s Romain Barbot alias Saåad (who has curated & managed the BLWBCK label and released Sádon’s early material) finally turned into a musical collaboration as Saáadon. Entitled мреть (наутро ночь) (which can be translated as « Die (in the morning night ») is centered around the melancholic and introspective poetry of Donat Mavleev, evoking a secular dream, the end of time, its horizon and beyond. The trio’s music moves across drone & ambient soundscapes, giving birth to a disturbing strangeness with radiant hues, simultaneously intense and peaceful. A poignant emotional journey the likes only such a joining forces can conjure.CD edition of 300 copies in 6 panels Digisleeve, Matt Lamination. 5 Tracks. Running Time 37:02LP Edition of 200 copies on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve, Matt Lamination. 5 Tracks. Running Time 37:02 Digital Available via Bandcamp Shop |

| ULVTHARM “Wrēkō” CD / LP / DL (207th Cycle) We’re honored to present Ulvtharm’s first solo album. Long time collaborator of Nordvargr & Drakh in the legendary Swedish formation MZ.412, “Wrēkō” was incepted when Ulvtharm lived in Malaysia while remotely writing the “Svartmyrkr” album of MZ.412 in 2018. Since “Svartmyrkr” was written over such a long period of time and over a significant geographical distance, there were natural moments of inspiration that radiated away from the MZ.412 sound, moments captured during the ritual sessions. Listening back to some of the raw demos made at the time, it was obvious that some of the tracks did not line up with MZ.412 spiritually, and the idea for an Ulvtharm solo album was born. Moving back to Sweden in November 2019, the creative process of dissecting and analyzing the demos started. When the pandemic hit, Jouni was thrown into a sleepless blackness for a long time, a mood that made him see the demos in a different light. This helped with re-composing and recording the missing parts, which were finalized in December 2020. This album is a deep dive into the mind and psyche during a dark time; it’s revenge on the own self for not taking this creative step before, and a celebration of getting out at the tail end of the modern plague. He’s now letting the music and spirits free out into the world for everyone to see and hear. This is his darkness. This is his revenge. This is Wrēkō!

| COMMON EIDER, KING EIDER “Yearn” CD / DL (210th Cycle/BSBB009) Common Eider, King Eider return to Cyclic Law with their 13th full length album “Yearn”. Since 2012, A.C. and B.S.s. have been crafting a unique aesthetic vision around modern composition, dark ambient, and black metal using voice, viola, percussion, and organic objects such as bone and antler to create a sonic world drenched in animism and project mythology. “Yearn” follows suit with five extended arrangements for viola, percussion, and voice. The pieces slowly unfold as if remembering a dream… Fragments move in and out of focus, light and darkness considered equals in the creation of this landscape. Concealment and revelation. Hope and hopelessness. Decay and birth.With sonic visitations by Treha Sektori, and Lars Ennsen (Ultha, Unru, Sun Worship).CD edition of 300 copies in 6 panel Digisleeve.

| CURSE ALL KINGS “Inversion” CD / DL (211th Cycle/BSBB010) Curse All Kings return with their second full-length, entitled Inversion with four extended arrangements for viola, organ, and voice. Drawing from modern composition, black metal, the darkest and bleakest of dungeon synth, and transcendent drone, Inversion redefines the concept of dark ambient and ritualized music and opens up new avenues of listener immersion and hence revelation. Skeletal compositions draped with dreamlike improvisations disorient the participants in black fog and suffocate them invoking the smell of damp rotting earth. Intended for dark moon listening and ritual. Intended for both group and solo practice of Inversion rites. B.S.s. id Curse All Kings.CD edition of 300. The packaging is an oversized A5 gatefold, ultra-matte finish. 12-page booklet inserts on ultra matte stock. This release is a collaboration between Breath Sun Bone Blood, and Cyclic Law.
