The label compilation for 2025 brings together artists connected through a shared interest in folklore, mysticism, and expressive forms of dark folk and extreme music. The release moves between acoustic pieces, ritual atmospheres, and various approaches to black metal, without aiming for a single sound or strict genre definition.

Artists from across Europe and North America take part, including projects from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Canada, and the United States. Different languages, backgrounds, and musical methods meet here naturally, reflecting the international character of the label and its surroundings.

Each contribution stands on its own. Some tracks are rooted in traditional influences, others are personal, experimental, or confrontational in nature. What connects them is not style, but intention — music created as a form of expression, curiosity, and artistic necessity rather than formula or trend.

This compilation is meant as a snapshot of the label in 2025: a gathering of individual voices, shaped by place, experience, and imagination. It does not aim to define a scene, but to document a moment and the people involved in it.

House of Inkantation continues to function as a platform for artists working outside established structures — offering space for personal vision, intensity, and honest creative work.
