Graveland „Dawn of Iron Blades” Tape

Drakkar Productions 2026

Through Drakkar Production, "Dawn of Iron Blades" is being reissued once again. More than twenty years ago, it became the fifth Graveland album to be placed on the German index of banned recordings by the censorship authority Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien.

Alongside such cult releases as "The Celtic Winter", "Immortal Pride", "Following the Voice of Blood" and "In the Glare of Burning Churches", this album was placed on the German index of banned recordings more than twenty years ago. I will spare you my comments on this absurd situation, everyone can see what has been happening in that country for years.

Because of this censorship, No Colours Records was visited twice by what felt like a political police force, as if we were living in some Cold War-era communist state. The authorities thoroughly inspected the label's documentation, looking for any possible irregularities. They also confiscated Graveland releases, including the then newly issued colored-cover edition of "Following the Voice of Blood".

The CDs were permanently seized, and No Colours Records was burdened with financial penalties. However, the real objective of these actions was to destabilize the label and ultimately force it out of business. They came close to achieving that goal. Fortunately, No Colours Records had deep roots within the Black Metal underground and managed to survive those difficult times.

Today, "Dawn of Iron Blades" is once again available on vinyl, CD and cassette. Drakkar Production has also prepared a T-shirt dedicated to this release. As far as I can remember, there has never been an official "Dawn of Iron Blades" shirt before.

In addition, this summer the label will be reissuing several other sold-out Graveland albums for which it holds the distribution rights.

Drakkar Production, alongside No Colours Records and Osmose Productions, belongs to that rare group of labels that have been connected to Black Metal since the very beginning of their existence. They are an undeniable part of the history of this genre.

I believe it is better to support labels that have proven their dedication to Black Metal over decades and helped build this scene, rather than labels that supported censorship or only became interested in Black Metal once it became fashionable and profitable.

The reissue of "Dawn of Iron Blades" can, of course, be ordered directly from the Drakkar Productions online store. If you would like to support a label that has remained loyal to Black Metal and its underground roots for decades, this is a good opportunity to do so.

"Creed of Iron" and "Raiders of Revenge"

No Colours Records 2024

The limited release of the tapes "Creed of Iron" and "Raiders of Revenge" by No Colours Records as part of the Wooden Box "Creed of Iron" 2024 is a true treat for Graveland fans. Particularly intriguing is the content of both tapes.

The "Creed of Iron" tape features the same tracks as the CD album, making it a unique medium for collectors who wish to experience this music in a traditional, analog format.
The "Raiders of Revenge" tape includes two language versions – English and Polish – of three iconic Graveland tracks that were originally part of the split “Raiders of Revenge.” This dual version emphasizes the diversity in storytelling and adds a new dimension to music that has already secured its place in Pagan Black Metal history.

"Raiders of Revenge" Track list:

Side A

01. Source of my power

02. Into Death's Arms

03. Blacksmiths of Destiny

Side B

04. Kowale Przeznaczenia

05. Źródło mojej potęgi

06. W objęcia śmierci

This release reflects a meticulous attention to detail and respect for Graveland’s creative roots, while perfectly capturing the atmosphere and message of the music, which stands as both art and a spiritual manifesto.
