For the second year running, Alchemy’s demonic Golden God has proven to be a hit with both the exciting newcomers and long-standing legends at Metal Hammer magazine’s annual awards.

Lifted high by the likes of Slipknot and Saxon and lauded as ‘cute’ by none other than Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliot, our accolade of iconic design is fast becoming an object of desire for some of metal’s finest. Picking up the Metal As F**k award, Canadian rockers Anvil claimed it as their “first real award” in thirty two years.

Elsewhere, in between amazing performances by Devildriver and Anthrax, reigning kings of rock Iron Maiden were left to argue amongst themselves over just whose diabolical death-head was the best looking, while illustrious instrumentalist Steve Vai claimed the well-deserved honour of Riff Lord. To add the jewel to our proverbial crown,

Alchemy sponsored the coveted Best Event award this year, accepted by Steel Panther on behalf of the organisers of the 2009 Download Festival. If Best Breakthrough Act winners Amon Amarth are to be believed, pulling the miniature broadsword from its cranial anchor might just crown the victor as a king of Arthurian proportions – all we know is that each and every one of this year’s conquerors can claim themselves as a god in their own right. Here’s to 2010’s ceremony, Alchemy’s continuing support, and true recognition for rock’s ruling royalty!

The Lord Byron Goblet:  That which might once have belonged to a monk then exhumed from the grounds of his Newstead Abbey, and, filled with claret or champagne, passed around the cellar amongst his select company of friends.  Authentic ‘Ivorine’ resin skull with solid cast pewter base and removable hand-fashioned pewter lining. 

Some history on Lord Byron:  George Gordon Byron was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism.  Regarded as one of the greatest European poets, he is still widely read and influential.  Described by Lady Caroline Lamb as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know” he was famous for his life; extravagant living, love affairs, debts, separation, marital exploits, and so on.  Byron died from a fever in Greece. 

Black Death Goblet:  An authentic English Middle Ages plague cross stands as tribute to the dreadfully ill-fated half of the population which suffered unimaginable horrors and inevitably succumbed in agonizing death to the inexorable bubos; with black glass goblet and vitiated, bone-resin plague skull.

Sure to please the aficionados of steam-punk, von Rosenstein re-emerges from the shadows of history in the spring of 2009. His spectacular and clandestine, early Victorian adventures in scientific invention, (this time as the pioneering engineer-scientist, Ezekiel Empire Rosenstein), are uncovered and the next ‘Alchemy Gothic 1977′ collection will include the essential components to this remarkable machinery.

Dr von Rosenstein was first broadcast to the world upon the front cover of the 1996 Alchemy Gothic catalogue, in which he unveiled his famous Induction Principle Ring, along with several other state-of-the-art PMCT devices - see below:

Dr von Rosenstein’s Art of Science

Do you want to know the secret of Life itself? Do you believe in Post Mortem Cognitive Transfer? Have you ever heard of the ‘Induction Principle’?
Did history include you in its teachings of the existence of the very venerable Dr von Rosenstein?

Enter an ancient stone tower amidst the wretched squalor of Venezia’s back street hovels, on this black storm-lashed night. Step down, into the cellar. Into the place where magic and the arts are turned into…
THE ART OF SCIENCE

Illuminate your darkness with one of Alchemy’s superior English candle holders.

The Dead of Night Candlestick Holder has romantical morbidity with a subtle suggestion of the rising of the undead possessing a guiding light! It is decorated with jet and ‘diamond’ crystals. The holder fits a standard tapered candle and tea light, with an overall height of approximately 10 1/4″ not including candles.

The Light of Death Candelabra is a must have centerpiece for any intimate social gathering.  An imposingly elegiac dark angel from the medieval netherworld of the departed, majestically and obediently stands seneschal of luminescence.  This elegant solid pewter candelabra holds five candles and is hung with four clear Swarovski chandelier crystals.

Our Sexton Dish has a black glass dish in a base of graveyard railings, capable of holding a 3.15” diameter candle.  This piece is ideal for ceremonies, gripping wine bottles, etc.  Then we have The Wallachian T-Light; a Transylvanian style candleholder; set with four red cabochons and completed with a t-light candle.  Also excellent for shedding light on ceremonies, reading, or whatever you might need luminosity for.

The Angles of Enoch Chalice features prominently in the BBC’s latest hit TV show Merlin. See it in action below in the episode Merlin : The Poisoned Chalice.
