Avantgarde Music is an Italian record label, formed as a continuation of Obscure Plasma Records, focusing on black and doom metal artists. The label had a sub-label called Wounded Love Records, which has released albums by Dolorian and Taake.[1] A new sub-label, Flowing Downward, had been founded in 2018, specializing in atmospheric black metal bands specifically.
Avantgarde Music's first release was the 1994 funeral doom classic Stream from the Heavens by Thergothon.[2] The label has since signed many well-known black, death and doom metal bands such as Behemoth, Carpathian Forest, Mayhem and Unholy.
