There are things that are kvlt, obscvre, undergrounds, and there is this... complete mystery wrapped in the enigma.
The story starts like some horror story. I got one of the CDs as a gift, kinda randomly, and not asking for it, not knowing what the hell I just got - some cursed itsem? Not much info, but I did manage to find label's website.
Formed by the married couple (?), who started this label to release their Black Metal project formed in mid-90s in Ukraine, under the name Lucifugum. Not quite sure what the hell is going on with this country to produce such ghoulish projects. Volhynia? Holodomor? Chernobyl? Current war with Russia? Whatever it is, there is this sense as if this country was haunted be evil spirits and ghouls.
They produce albums on tapes and CD, but not necessarily for profit, but according to their name, to spread satanic ideology (or so I think, there missions seems to be hazy so to speak). They are also not quite interested in sales, their output is always limited just to few copies and rather aimed at chosen and trusted people.
Suffice to say that their releases are pretty luxurious in a way that major labels can only dream of. But that's a secret to keep.
I might get some scorn for "promoting" them and spreading their name, but I was quite intrigued about their choices of artists on their roster.
While Grand Belial's Key, or Aske are rather known in certain circles, Satanic Corpse (about whom in next post), Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Gromm, Primigenium, or Typhus are more known among the connoisseurs. Who knows, knows and will recognize some of these eccentric individuals.
The word "recommended" does not quite fit here, but it is an interesting find indeed.
