PURITY RENAISSANCE "Purity Renaissance" 12"LP
Utterly dark and cruel black metal hymns inspired by victorious times. Purity Renaissance’s debut promo cassette offers 6 hymns (plus intro and outro) of desolate, yet triumphant black metal infused with pure European glory. Rarely has a North American act managed to sound so close to European bands like Odal or Cultus. This recording, previously released as a highly limited promotional cassette, has been remixed by the band and remastered by Baron Yrch Malachi of Blood Tyrant. Hand numbered black vinyl with insert strictly limited to 300 copies.

CHÄTIMENT "Sang des Carpathes" CD
Cult demo of raw, proud and medieval sounding black metal from the fertile, dusty moors of Quebec is now available on Compact Disc for the first time. Sold out almost immediately after being revealed, this demo now fetches relatively high collector prices within the underground ranks - truly outstanding among the current Quebec elite. This new Compact Disc edition comes with a completely remastered sound for optimum sound quality without sacrificing the candle-lit cryptic atmosphere of the original release.

PAGAN HELLFIRE "At the Resting Depths Eternal" CD
Pagan Hellfire is one of the oldest and best of Canadian black metal! Tour de Garde is proud to present the sixth full length of this cult act, active for over 22 years. "At the Resting Depths Eternal" is an epic journey through the darkest realm of mind's imagery. Following the footsteps of the previous album but still pushing the boundaries, "At the Resting Depths Eternal" will please any longtime Pagan Hellfire supporter as well as any true black metal fans. Surpassing every production Pagan Hellfire has previously released, the sixth full length offering still has the fury and grimness of its predecessors. This time around, the thin shriek of the guitars and the organic pounding of the drums evoke the cold winds, vast coast and salted seas of the Nova Scotian land.

GRIFLA DA LA SECTA "Dyrs føde" 7"EP
Grifla da la Secta present their debut offering, "Dyrs føde", which is a big step further their tracks featured on the "Korpsånd" compilation. This 7"EP is featuring two tracks of mysterious, heavily built, gloomy black metal composed in a unique way. The strong sonic identity of Grifla da la Secta goes hand in hand with the strong concept behind the project. They speak with a forked tongue – cleaved to point out two paths. The right path is delivered in Danish. The left in Romansh. This duo has no home... This split 7"EP comes on black vinyl and is limited to 300 copies.

MAJESTERIAL BURNING "Beyond Death" MC
Majesterial Burning is the project that preceded Nocturnal Chalice and it retains the same cold, crude and grim black metal sound. Majesterial Burning, just as Nocturnal Chalice, is highly influenced by the French black metal classic but this older project also incorporates Swedish sounding melodies and guitar lines. "Beyond Death" is an amazing recording that recalls the true spirit of the mid-nineties black metal underground. Limited to 200 copies.
