Blood of the Black Owl - Light the Fires!
$13(US) $16(world)

Track List
Owl - Caller of Spirits | Wind Eye | Rise and Shine | Sundrojan | Two Ravens at the Tree Line | Soil Magicians | Blood of the Black Owl - Dsigust and the Horrible Realization of Apathy

Blood of the Black Owl's 4th full length offering "Light the Fires!" rises and shines upon lifting the spirit's veil, through the spiritual teachings of the six directional path and the sacred breath within us all. A soundscape to help surface, understand and heal an ever increasingly egoic nature of programmed disconnection, a sickness we as a species carry within an unbalanced circle of spirit, rooted deeply into a fragile cyclical self. It seems, we are no longer a human being and have become the human doing! The crafting of "Light the Fires!" offers a medicinal musical, aiding in the clearing of poisons found to feed this ego. A ritual of musical restoration seeking balance towards this great and vast four quartered circle of life.

As the feathers of this sonic sigil uplift to the breath of Father Sky and the blood drips stewardship to the Mother's womb, the Blood of the Black Owl is offering to hold up a mirror to the self, facing the shadows of ego head on! It is to share the light, through the understanding of dark, allowing growth and reflection upon being once again.

An honoring voice awakening to the survivalists, to those connected ones aware and to the seekers of the flame whom fight the silent battles....

First Press 1000 Available - BR015

Track List
Earth’s Old Timid Grace | Banished | Awaiting the Fire or Flood that Awakes it | Nonesuch River Chant | Silence | The Cormorants Shiver on Their Rocks

Falls of Rauros have always been a well honed and eclectic American black metal band, but as they have progressed, their art has taken on an even more impressive and beautiful atmosphere as their songs developed and writing style grown to carry the listener deep into the woods with classical and folk elements. The bands first full-length release for Bindrune Recordings, The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood, is a stirring collection of majestic melodies and a primordial essence that embraces the staples of the black metal genre, but the spirit and atmosphere of the music goes far beyond the realms of modern man. Expansive soundscapes. Beautiful folk/classical compositions. Organic black metal urgency that awakens the listeners yearning for the forest.

Forest of the Soul - Restless in Flight Digipak CD
$11(US) $13 (world)
First Press 1000 Available - BR014

Track List
Restless in Flight | Auburn Hill | Alone/Desert Rose | Forgotten Day | Without You | My Betrothed | The Line Summer Glades | Green Heroes (Featuring Mark Denmon) | Daily Bread | Mother Tongue (Featuring Pandel Collaros) | Evenfall | Sweet and Lowdown | Forest of the Soul

Featuring both members of Nechochwen, FotS is a hard band to pigeonhole, for they encompass the fluidity of  classical acoustic instrumentation, rock, folk, and an undeniable Appalachian Country spirit that stirs with the eclectic soul of their homeland.  Fans of Opeth's "Damnation" will find a kindred strand of creativity within this ever flowing, unpredictable, and passionate to the core release, yet FotS truly set out on their own path by celebrating music for music's sake. Unclassifiable and amazingly beautiful, "Restless in Flight" is Forest of the Soul's 3rd release and it blew us away with such a strong level of atmosphere... an aura that perfectly embodies the nature of what we try to uphold with Bindrune Recordings.

Nechochwen - Azimuths to the Otherworld CD
$11(US) $13 (world)
First Press 1000 Available - BR012

Track List
Allumhammochwen:  The Crossing | At Night May I Roam |Gissis Mikana | Red Ocher |
The Eyes of the Mesingw | Charnel House | Graves of Grandeur | Confluence |
Noameatha, You are the Ghost in the Water | The Forgotten Death Ritual | Hunting Among the Stars | Four Effigies  a. The Turtle Effigy  b. The Adena Pipe  c. Amanita Mushroom Wand  d. Weeping Eye | Azimuths to the Otherworld | Graves of Grandeur (Reprise)

Recorded at Sacred Sound Recording Studio, Azimuths to the Otherworld is an awe inspiring journey into the realms of classical guitar and organic metal. With lyrical and spiritual guidance drawn from the mystical Adena and Hopewell people, their influence from beyond the stars has lifted Nechochwen to new and challenging musical hunting grounds. Azimuths takes bold musical cross pollination ala black and doom metal and fuses it with a very emotive and pure classical instrumentation with an "earthy" Native American folk leaning. The sounds are original, thoughtful, and instrumental in once again expanding the extreme metal world and how we all listen and interact with it. Nechochwen is passion, creativity and a powerful spiritual awakening that the listener can feel pouring out of the compositions of this art.

"Where Life Springs Eternal", the 2nd full-length release from Minnesota's Celestiial, is yet another monumental and groundbreaking funeral doom experience.

While embracing metal as a loose framework, both artists shed the confines of "tradition" to step into the ever expansive world of atmosphere. Be it the Shamanic union with the spirit world and nature through the hypnotic rituals of Blood of the Black Owl, or the woodland explorations of Celestiial by way of environmental soundscapes and a moss laden drone, this split LP is unlike anything you have yet heard. Both bands are reinventing the way that you experience and "feel" music from the void far beyond...

Track List...
Writhing In Pain | The Wandering Apparition | The Soiuls That Possess Forgotten Battlegrounds | Unhallowed Lands | Archaic Rapture | Imminent Terror | Fading Into Dusk | Lost In The Fog of Dissonance

Picking up where the impressive "Somber Deathwinds" demo material left off, Paths of Desolation finds Morthond obtaining a more powerful production for this full-length debut album to further haunt all those who choose to open themselves to the experience. Obscure harmonies, uniquely twisted guitar lines and the tortured screams of Thorstadt yearn for the grave and urge the listener to follow along this depressive path. With an ideology that demands the destruction of elitist rhetoric and scenester mentality, Morthond is pure/volatile black metal for those who wish to stand alone and return to a time where this form of music was more about artistic expression than it was a fashion show. 8 tracks. Nearly 60 minutes of depressive black metal abuse.

Tranquil melodies summon waves of depression, only for the intensity to swarm into prog like moments of rage, where the screams of Arganoth Doom spew hatred back into the world. The outcome inspires premonitions of infinite despair as this release is the blueprint of ones emotional breakdown. Where Bethlehem and others have failed, the future of dark metal rests in the corrosive visions of Misery's Omen.

Released May 2002

WODENSTHRONE - Loss CD
First Press 1000 - Currently Unavailable - BR009

Track List
Fyrgenstréam | Leódum on Lande | Heófungtid |Those That Crush the Roots of Blood | Black Moss| Upon These Stones | Pillar of the Sun | That Which is Now Forgotten – 597

"Loss" is a completely stunning display of epic, world building Pagan black metal, burning with the fires of England's ancient culture and antiquity. Brilliantly captured in Romania by Negura Music, the recording sessions reveal an otherworldly tone and rich atmosphere that hasn't been this majestically sculpted since the formative years of Emperor. "Loss" is a total escape from the modern complexities and uninspired cookie-cutter "product" turned out by the current black metal scene, to embrace the true power of a time that was alive with conviction and musical exploration. Traditional/folk instrumentation, soaring guitar/synth harmonies, and tortured vocals ride upon the dense aura so brilliantly created by Wodensthrone.
