    Label: Prophecy Productions ‎– PRO251
    Format: Vinyl, 12″, EP
    Country: Germany
    Released: 26 Oct 2018
    Style:

    Named after the Sergei Lukyanenko novel of the same name, Nochnoy Dozor (Translated: Night Watch) are relentless newcomers hailing from Greece. Founded in December of 2015, the group is now releasing its self-titled debut EP.

    The music of Nochnoy Dozor embraces a variety of genres, with ambient soundscapes and pop flourishes clashing against heavy breaks and moments of harsh rock outbursts, all defined by the sophisticated interplay of synths and guitars. Dominating it all are the dual female vocalists that guide the listener through the music challenging the idea of how these vocalists can co-exist and play off each other; a feature that fully comes into its own in Nochnoy Dozor’s dynamic live show. Featuring Manos Georgakopoulos from Universe217 on guitar, Nochnoy Dozor pursue a gentler musical approach that flirts just as much with pop melodies as it does with atypical musical explorations.

    With subtle, but never simplistic lyrics, and musicians subordinating themselves to the music’s atmosphere, Nochnoy Dozor understand that less is more. The band’s goal is to create catharsis for the listener, and an immersive sonic experience that delves deeper than their peers.

    Fostermother – The Ocean (Vinyl, LP, Color)
    Label: Ripple Music – RIPLP160
    Format: Vinyl, LP, color in color red inside electric blue
    Country: US
    Released: Feb 18, 2022
    Style: Doom Metal, Stoner Rock

    FOSTERMOTHER made an impression within the stoner doom scene with their self-titled debut album, which Everything Is Noise described as, «hitting both soft and hard in all the right places, leaving oddly-comforting destruction in its wake.» Now a three-headed hydra with the addition of drummer Jason Motamedi alongside guitarist/singer Travis Weatherred and bassist Stephen Griffin, the band signed to Californian heavy rock powerhouse Ripple Music for the release of follow-up LP «The Ocean». This massive7-tracker cranks it up on all levels: it’s darker, harsher, slower, fuzzier, more rumbling, and uncompromising in its ability to drag listeners into the darkest alleys of the human soul.

    Bethlehem – Mein Weg (2 x Vinyl)
    Label: Prophecy Productions – PRO 107LP
    Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue
    Country: Germany
    Released: Jul 8, 2022
    Style: Doom Metal, Goth Rock

    Experimental Black/Doom Metal band from Grevenbroich, Germany, active since 1991. They call their style «Dark metal», which is the term they coined in the debut album title.

    Until Dictius Te Necare, Bethlehem faced censorship and was even banned from playing in some German cities. It started when Matton gave one copy of their first demo to a 14-year-old boy. After a while his mother started to call the band, saying that because of their music, her son became aggressive and built a «Satanic altar» in his room. In cooperation with other parents, they started a crusade against Bethlehem and their «satanic» music (ironically, Bethlehem were never satanic).
