Thy whole body shall be filled with light

New & upcoming releases of Eyes Like Snow:


THE FLIGHT OF SLEIPNIR 
"Saga"
A5-DigiCD/CD/2LP

On "Saga" David & Clay have further refined what has become their very own style, a totally unique combination of Viking and Doom Metal with progessive elements, which they developed and improved with every release.

In this respect, the album is a consequent continuation of "Essence Of Nine", with its focus on acoustic parts, melodic guitar leads and clean vocals on the one hand, and raw Viking/Black Metal outbursts on the other, everything merged into a seamless whole.

In short, an exciting and never boring or repetitive journey through a rough northern landscape, interspersed with relaxed nights around the campfire.

HOUR OF 13
"Hour of 13"
DigiCD/LP

With just their self-titled debut album, Hour Of 13 had already gained recognition as one of the most noteworthy old school Heavy/Doom Metal acts in today's scene, a status they cemented with their following full lengths "The Ritualist" & "333".

The original press of their debut album on CD and LP is totally sold out since years, so we decided to reissue it now, along with the exclusive vinyl release of their "333" album.

We revised and improved the layout of the original release. The LP comes with gatefold jacket with classic doomy purple + silver print on glossy black 350g cover. The vinyls are available in three editions, 200x purple, 400x silver and 400x black.

THE WANDERING MIDGET
"From The Meadows Of Opium Dreams"
DigiCD/CD/2LP

After four seemingly endless years of deep, earshattering silence, the Wandering Midget returns from his secret travels into the unknown, and again holds us spellbound with new tales of the strange, the sad, the evil and the macabre.

Classic Finnish Doom Metal that truly is one of its kind - epic and sorrowful, mystical and obscure, hauntingly beautiful, melancholic, occult, lyrical and dark!

A magic potion to intoxicate the worshippers of early Candlemass, The Lamp Of Thoth, Reverend Bizarre, Wheel or Griftegård, enriched with their own secret ingredients and creeping horror á la Lovecraft and Poe. An elegy to the world of dreams, an album to drown in...

VINUM SABBATUM
"Bacchanale Premiere"
A5-DigiCD/LP

Vinum Sabbatum's first full length displays a band grown into a tight unit. The material showcases more of their love for Prog & Hard Rock rooted in the 70s, such as Uriah Heep, Deep Purple or Atomic Rooster, along with Blues-based Heavy Rock á la early Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Warhorse & Iron Claw.

There is still heaviness here, but they traded the obvious Doom Metal leanings for an exciting mix of bluesy doom and gloom, combined with psychedelic and rocking grooves with enchantingly catchy melodies, crowned by the remarkable voice of Janne Salo and the Hammond Organ and keyboard of Tomi Korpela.

The first press of the CD comes as limited collectors edition of 1000 copies in A5-Digipack.

THE FLIGHT OF SLEIPNIR
"Ascension"
A5-DigiCD/LP

Here's a release that shows the honest beginnings of a band that set out to combine the Viking theme with classic Doom Metal and Progressive Rock like no other, and is gaining new fans on a daily basis.

The first press of the CD comes as limited collectors edition of 1000 copies in A5-Digipack.

THE FLIGHT OF SLEIPNIR
"Algiz + Berkanan" LP

At last the band's impressive debut gets its long overdue vinyl treatment. The rich songs incorporate the powerful, aggressive potential of their Black Metal roots with their trademark clean male vocals and melodic lead and acoustic guitars into a seamless whole, an album that effortlessly floats between powerfully pounding parts and a relaxed Viking-like campfire atmosphere, with additional progressive elements fit in wherever they add to the wonderful mix.

To round up the first in an unbroken series of exceptional release of this band, David created another brilliant artwork, exclusive to this vinyl release. The LP comes on coloured vinyl in a heavy UV-lacquered gatefold jacket.
