About this product
Taking it's name from a pagan goddess revered among the people in the Upper German and Austrian Alps, Perchta from Tyrol, Austria, were founded in 2015 and channel the deity's essence to keep alive regional traditions that have been trivialized over time to fit modern conveniences. Known to walk among men from Christmas to Epiphany and thus symbolizing a time of transition, Perchta has many faces and guises, at once radiant beauty and wrinkled, old hag, both unforgiving punisher and nourishing guardian, haunting destroyer as well as rewarding creator. InchUfang,Inch the project's first album, is just as multi-faceted, with the four key songs representing the elements of earth, wind, fire and water, entirely intoned in local vernacular. In it's epic scope, InchUfangInch sounds like a tempest of tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with a voice on top to pierce marrow and bone. Remarkably, Perchta is also a functional live formation, sporting extravagant light and stage properties made from driftwood between which the front woman will sermonize, face-painted in historical black garb with embroidered belt and cast-iron broom InchUfangInch is available as Digipak CD, LP and 2CD artbook (48 pages, 18x18cm) with all lyrics, additional texts about the Perchta lore, poetry and photo material as well as two bonus tracks.

With Perchta's second full-length entitled InchD'MuataInch, which translates from her Alpine Austrian dialect to English as InchThe MotherInch, mastermind and vocalist Frau Percht and her band have created a feminist manifesto within a folklore influenced black metal context. Femininity in all it's facets is a rather niche topic in this genre although it is an inseparable part of everything human and the natural world around us. Taking their name from an alleged pagan goddess, Perchta were conceived in Austria in 2017 with an aim to preserve and rejuvenate regional traditions. Three years later, Perchta released their debut album InchUfangInch, which established the band's reputation as a highly individualistic and unique act. All lyrics of the entire album are intoned in the Tyrolean vernacular. The words are shrouded in a tempest of tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with bone-piercing extreme vocals on top. Now the black witch of the Tyrolean mountains and her pack return with a magical new album.

The slightly terrific Thrash Metal troupe Sterbhaus from Stockholm finally releases their much asked for Christmas-EP in physical . From 2016 December bandcampers have been enjoying the annual treat of downloading this tremendously effective Christmas adventure for free. The EP is dedicated to Santa Claus Alpine opposite and just before the Eve of Krampus (or Christmas Eve for the unbeliever) this year we can lay our Metal mittens on a hopelessly handsome and exclusive vinyl as well as a digipak CD (both strictly limited). As luck (or misfortune) would have it the date couldn't be more fitting, as we say farewell on Friday the 13th of December to itching wimpiness, jingle bells and a multitude of unearned Christmas gifts to instead welcome ripping goat guitar riffs in unison, black studded Christmas trees and an excess of capital punishments (dispensed by whip, sack and chain).
