2005

  • 1st March 2005 - SFP003 DesolatioN 'The Stone Oracles' released.

    There are very few albums that leave such a deep impression. DesolatioN have in 'The Stone Oracles' created a pure masterpiece; an incredible and bewitching symphony to truly enrapture the soul. An album with a dark and brooding edge that not only appeals to fans of melodic black metal but equally finds its place next to progressive luminaries such as Opeth and Dark Tranquility. This is the closest a UK band has ever come to rivaling such masters in melancholic, atmospheric songcraft. The quality of the songwriting and playing are outstanding, and the solos are literally breathtaking.

    'The Stone Oracles' will ensure a quick rise to prominence

    Shadowflame sign the UK black metal legends Thus Defiled

    October 1st - SFP001 Thus Defiled 'Weeping Holocaust Tears' released.

    Thus Defiled are one of the oldest and most respected Black Metal bands from the UK. This is their first studio album in 6 years, and will build on the success of their now legendary cult releases in the mid '90s - 'Through The Impure Veil Of Dawn' and 'Wings Of The Nightstorm'.

    Thus Defiled were also voted 'Best unsigned band' on the strength of their 'Fire Serpent Dawn' promo CD by the readers of Terrorizer magazine in 2002 - an instant return to form after many years of silence due to line-up problems.
