Five years ago we received these beauties. Released by ARCHAIC SOUND it was the first time our split with Ophis was issued on vinyl. These sold out very quickly from us. Originally released in 2012 by Memento Mori the CD edition is long sold out as well.
However, our two songs from this split are available again on the 'Bittersweet Memories' compilation that was released earlier this year by Metal Star. Housed in a beautiful digibook we decided it was worthwhile to import a few copies. So we have those available and will bring them to our upcoming shows.

We just received new copies of Hortus Venenum. We're glad it's available again.

We have updated our store with the new shirts, girlies and totebags. We were also able to import the Bittersweet Memories compilation CD that comes in a very cool mediabook and contains some material that is hard to find on CD.
We also have some limited quantities of older designs.
We don't have a state of the art webshop. Just check out what we've got and send an e-mail. Simply read what's on our website.
Prices are without shipping and remember shipping prices are insane these days. Not a lot we can do about.
You can buy stuff at one of our gigs as well of course.

Great rehearsal today. Most of us will go on vacation the coming weeks. We are more than ready for Symphonic Metal Echoes though. Hope to see you there.

Released on this day 30 years ago; our first 7" single and second release in our discography.
This also was our first recording in a proper studio working with Hans W M Pieters at the Excess Studio in Rotterdam.
We actually recorded these songs in February 1995 and they were supposed to be released by a local label, which turned out to be a farce. We ended up releasing it ourselves. Later on these recordings were also included on the compilation "Charcoal Hearts - 15 Years of Hurt". Both this compilation and the original 7" have been sold out for a while now.
We did re-record both songs and these ended up on our "Ne Vivam" album. One of them as a bonus track that was added on later reissues. All versions of "Ne Vivam" have been sold out for a while now.
