Sepulchre by the Sea - Seven Chambers
September 30, 2024
While “
Seven Chambers
,” certainly isn’t a bad album, it is one that I just couldn’t find a firm grasp to hold on to. There is plenty of talent here and someone else may enjoy it far more than me. I look forward to their next album, despite my misgivings on this one.

Vast Pyre - Vast Pyre
September 30, 2024
VAST PYRE
’s self-titled debut album is an incredible album with so many layers and details that I’m still not sure if I have full absorbed it all yet; I can’t get over how well written it is. Any fan of doom will absolutely need to add this to their collection. Hell, fans of heavy music in general should not mess this hidden gem.
review
Arx Atrata - A Reckoning

In
"A Reckoning"
,
"ARX ATRATA"
has crafted not just an album but a world unto itself. This is music that demands to be engaged with on a deep level—each listen reveals new layers, new intricacies hidden within the sound. The production is immaculate, allowing each element to shine while maintaining the album’s overarching sense of cohesion and purpose. This is a release that will resonate deeply with fans of atmospheric black metal. It’s a journey, a reckoning, and a blackened experience.

review
Xasthur - Disharmonic Variations
September 17, 2024
”XASTHUR”’s
"Disharmonic Variations"
is a hauntingly hypnotic journey through depressive Black Metal. The album, fully instrumental, weaves dissonant yet captivating melodies, immersing the listener in a world of atmospheric tension. Tracks like
"The Beginning of a New End"
and
"Mirrors Made of Misery"
blend acoustic elements with the ethereal and chaotic, offering moments of meditative reflection amidst the dissonance. Though the production occasionally lacks clarity in its more intricate sections, the album excels in creating a dark, introspective soundscape, cementing it’s place as a master of depressive Black Metal.
review

HELLPRIESTS

"Sermon"
is a raw and unapologetic entry into the Black Metal scene, marked by a brutal sound that explores themes of blasphemy, sacrilege, and the darker aspects of human existence. This album establishes

review
Downcross - White Tower
August 26, 2024
All in all Downcross’ “White Tower,” is one hell of a black metal album that has so much going for it through an incredible, enriched sound that doesn't take away anything from the genre's abrasive, underground sound yet the band makes it sound expansive in all the right ways.
review
Amen Corner - Written By The Devil
August 26, 2024
All in all AMEN CORNER’s “Written By The Devil,” is a horror drenched occult extravaganza takes a different path for it’s brand of black metal than a lot of modern bands do. But it's old school worship is crafted with a lot of obvious love for the scene without sounding like a repeating of the past.

review
Ossilegium - The Gods Below
August 18, 2024
Like the Whitest of Stripes before them, a band with only two members can only do so much.
review
Ancient Guard – Nightfall Enthralled
August 12, 2024
“Nightfall Enthroned” by ANCIENT GUARD is a lo-fi, heavily shrouded swath of contemplative Black Metal, both Atmospheric and visceral. A solid debut for the latest Nightwolf project.

This album shows what classic Black Metal means in the deeper sense of the words.
review
Chotzä - Pächschwarz
July 29, 2024
CHOTZÄ has taken an unanticipated evolutionary step relatively late in their trajectory with “Pächschwarz.” Altogether, it’s a surprisingly multifaceted album . . . especially for a band known for their relatively simple approach to Black Metal.
review
Forgotten Tomb - Nightfloating
July 29, 2024
FORGOTTEN TOMB
’s “
Nightfloating
,” is a powerful statement of what blackened doom can offer and also a searing example of how melody can be incorporated into these dark genres without loosing one iota of grit and guile.

review
Eremit - Rise of the Ruan~angh
July 19, 2024
I can’t think of a better piece of music to bridge the gap between their much awaited fourth full-length album. Quite simply, “
Rise of the Ruan~angh
” continues to add to the band’s growing legend and solidifies their place in the pantheon of modern doom.
review

review
Meister Leonhardt - Thanatopoeia
June 17, 2024
The band’s form of black metal is pretty aggressive and bleak but they still throw in atmospheric and melodic curveballs. It’s a great listen from start to finish and is one of the better black metal albums I’ve heard lately. If dark, hopeless music is your thing (and if it isn’t, you need to take care of that) then I highly recommended
MEISTER LEONHARDT
’s “
Thanatopoeia
.”
