Begun in 2004 by former metal scribes Chris Bruni and Adrian Bromley, Missasauga, Ontario’s Profound Lore started off as a small, independent enterprise releasing only limited quantities of vinyl. Still small and still fiercely independent since being taken over completely by Bruni, the label has grown in stature ever since, providing an outlet for those listeners ready to be weaned off the same-old metal sound, as well those listeners ready to try new and more lethal poison. Recently, LHP caught up with Bruni to query him on the label’s recent success and its somewhat controversial role in bringing together musical directions once thought of as polar opposites. more here...

Taken from the pages of Tolkien (Tangorodrim means “Mountains of Oppression”), born in Russia and transported to Jerusalem, Tangorodrim offers a spectacularly successful take on “traditional” Black Metal, tapping deep roots and harnessing the masters to a roaring end. Tangorodrim’s first three full-lengths were completed in as many years; the band’s fourth, entitled Justus ex Fide Vivit, will be released by Southern Lord this spring. Larenuf, Tangorodrim vocalist and guitarist, answered a few questions about influence, booze, and faith— all in his patented “terse” fashion. more here...

England’s Aurora Borealis has unleashed ludicrously varied recordings over the past four years. Depleted from its coffers have been the likes of USBM, Crebain, ambient, Ginnungagap, and wholly unclassifiable music such as Moss and Wolfmangler. Andrew Hartwell and Tony Sylvester, the Laurel & Hardy duo, which accounts for the creative vision behind the label, managed to field a few questions about aesthetics, armor and Liberace—while both still at work. more here...

Tyler Davis’ The Ajna Offensive is a label emboldened by incomparable—and eclectic—taste and aesthetic sense. Having released recordings by the likes of Ondskapt, Deathspell Omega, Sigrblot, Averse Sefira, Atomizer, Destroyer 666, Negative Plane, Villains, and a host of others, The Ajna Offensive consistently shirks trends, maintaining a staunch and effective selectivity that many listeners—and genres—have benefited from. more here...
