Permanence & renewal of forms.

Extreme Metal, Thrash, Death, Doom...

Throne of fire, where the berserker meets the druid, where Ignis illuminates—a sublime flame that forever dances and guides the soul—Gladivs Records is a ritual instrument, a conduit of the magic of ancient times. Like a mythical sword, an axe of will, Gladivs is an entity with the aesthetics of sacred warfare, a mystagogy through sound. Each production is a symbol participating in the expression of a higher level of consciousness, a refusal of submission crowned with immemorial sacredness. Legends, myths, folklores, and traditions weave an archetypal palimpsest narrative. Trials of the body, the senses, and the psyche — our label records these experiences as reactivations and aggiornamento. Here, guitar riffs, like razor-sharp blades, tear through illusions… Rhythmic hammering and bombardments, immense explosions, open hearts like mysterious initiations: music of possession and violent ecstasy. Extreme metal is our foundation. Apotheosis or vae victis—will we bear the crown? Music is our sword-bridge, our trial… A theophoric manifestation, of an aristocracy of the invisible; just as King Arthur’s Round Table is inscribed in eternity, Gladivs Records embodies the sacred fire that never dies.
