YOUR INLAND EMPIRE
"YOUR INLAND EMPIRE"
Post Dark Metal/ Industrial
Release date: 14.11.2025
(SEASON OF MIST)

•    Produced and mixed by David Husser (worked with Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder & producer Paul Kendall) and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Ghost).

DANHEIM
"HEIMFERD"
Epic/ Viking/ Folk Metal
Release date: 31.10.2025
(SEASON OF MIST)

Danheim is the work of Copenhagen-based musician and producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a leading voice in Nordic folk and Viking-inspired music. With over 1 billion streams and music featured in Vikings, Danheim has become a cornerstone of the genre.

Each track evokes a return to something older and deeper: a cultural current running beneath memory, a call that is both familiar and distant. From the storm-driven rhythms of “Stormdans” to the haunting expanse of “Yggdrasil II,” Danheim balances intensity with restraint, w...

Release date: 05.09.2025
(SEASON OF MIST)

Even before going on hiatus during the mid-2000s, the ever-evolving auteurs still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam. However, there was one tale - or three, to be exact - that continued to elude them. Until now. With A Dark Poem, Green Carnation have finally finished their masterpiece.   

The idea for an album trilogy stems from Green Carnation’s earliest yesteryears, but the first part of ...
