Dimmu Borgir - Grand Serpent Rising (US jewel case) Eight years after their previous studio Eonian, Dimmu Borgir return with thirteen punishing yet remarkably diverse tracks under the banner Grand Serpent Rising and even the sheer weight of the album title alone speaks volumes. InchIt fits perfectly,Inch Silenoz nods. InchDimmu Borgir is a leviathan of a band on a grand scale and we are rising once again. While the serpent represents evil to some, for us it symbolizes something else renewal, growth, knowledge, and liberation. Shedding our skin, so to speak. And let's not forget that February 2026 marks the end of the Year of the Snake, roughly the same moment this album was completed.Inch Once you descend into the treacherous journey charted by this Norwegian serpent, Silenoz's words are immediately vindicated. Following the ominous intro 'Tridentium,' the opening track 'Ascent' strikes like lightning across a frozen, darkened northern sky. Aggressive, vicious, and twistedly beautiful, it instantly confirms that Dimmu Borgir have lost none of their intensity, menace, or authenticity. And the momentum never falters. Across nearly an hour of music, Grand Serpent Rising maintains an iron grip it is a majestic and powerful statement that sounds like a band possessed by the feral energy of the early '90s Norwegian black metal underground, while simultaneously wielding the compositional discipline and hard-earned wisdom forged through more than three decades of relentless creation.

Med School's most innovative series returns. Responsible for delivering the drum & bass scene early stories of Etherwood, Royalston, Stray and Whiney, New Blood is definitive of Med School's ethos when it comes to discovering and nurturing quality talent. With artists constantly redrawing the boundaries of 170BPM, this 018 edition breaks the mould showcasing the weird and wonderful sounds from the genre's most promising new talent. Interdimensional waveman Lakeway has mustered up a jukey-jungle hybrid in the form of Lock Off. Panpipe synths and some big beat steps combine to make the ultimate banger. Keeping things correct is Bristolian serpent Constrict. Choppy snares and flirty 8-bit synth stabs slither together to create Tight Coil. Both choice cuts for any DJ looking for that D&B curveball. This internationally spread line-up also features some of Russia's best D&B exports. A. Fruit's Tender Love is a delectable fusion of footwork and techno rolled into one and Soela's I Wish You Would Come is an ambient spaced out down tempo number. A myriad of styles from across the globe are the key ingredients for the New Blood 018 LP. Med School has once again proven it's A&R prowess, signalling to the world there is no better home for fresh talent. Lakeway - Lock Off / Natus - In The Forest Of Dreams / Squash! - One! / A.

Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder. The plot revolves around a production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet by a prestigious New York City company. Usually described as a psychological thriller, Black Swan can be also interpreted as a metaphor for achieving artistic perfection, with all the psychological and physical challenges one might encounter. The original score for the film was composed by Clint Mansell, an English musician, composer, and former lead singer of the band Pop Will Eat Itself. Mansell was introduced to film scoring when director Darren Aronofsky hired him to score his debut film, Pi. Ever since Mansell wrote the score for many of Aronofsky's films. Notable film scores include Pi, The Fountain, Moon, Smokin' Aces, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Doom, Black Swan, and High-Rise. Black Swan is available on black vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet with liner notes. The record comes in a sleeve finished with linen laminate. LISTEN //youtu.
