CONCILIVM was born in 2017, founded by its only two members, A and Ω, in the cold south of Chile. Inspired by the darkness of death and black metal of the '90s, wanting to capture all the violence and mysticism in a work, they decide to release their first recording, an EP titled The Veiled Enigma, which emanated from the abyss in late 2017.

Tireless and thirsty to continue spreading their darkness, in 2021, CONCILIVM entered the studio to record what will be their first full-length work, A Monument In Darkness. Encompassing eight tracks across a soul-devouring 39 minutes, A Monument In Darkness is aptly titled: here, a work of pure, dark alchemical devotion to death and the mysteries that surround it.

Concilivm's chosen medium may still be blackened death, but there's a supernatural aura to their feral bestiality and muscular surge; sounds come from myriad, nameless abysses, always from every direction but always taking on a life of their own. Thus, within A Monument In Darkness we find reverse whispers of the dead, angular drums of war, utterly ignorant beatdowns, entrancing speed, and even malevolent melodies within their classically early '90s leads.

A Monument In Darkness, is set for international release on April 8th, 2022 via Iron Bonehead Productions on CD and vinyl LP formats but today begin distilling with the brand-new track 'Oneiric Abyss'.

HERSKER is a Danish blackened punk outfit that began as a one-man project in 2015. The project gained new momentum in 2020 when a drummer was added to the lineup. The two-piece recorded their debut album during the fall of 2020, and it is slated for release in 2022 by Strange Aeons Records.

More recently, HERSKER recorded an EP titled Befængt, which is seeing release on cassette via Caligari Records on March 7th, 2022. Befængt means "infested" in English, and suitably do the songs on the EP traverse a world of contagious anxiety. A pulsing sense of dread permeates the songs, intensified by the strange-yet-cool recording, which sounds remarkably distant and upfront simultaneously.

Through it all, a steady D-beat pushes that pulsing sense of dread ever forward, only to be occasionally interrupted by blastbeats that tear at the edge of the compositions. Each song bears witness to human incompetency; entropy is the only truth. Infest your soul with Befængt!
