review
Kawir - Kydoimos (Κυδοιμος)
June 24, 2024
With “Kydoimos” (Κυδοιμος), KAWIR maintain their mantle as Greek Black Metal overlords.
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
.”
review
Granitader - Der Wald zwischen den Welten
June 17, 2024
Ultimately, GRANITADER’s “Der Wald zwischen den Welten,” isn’t what I expected…it’s fun, engaging and catchy but, at the same time, it’s straight up black metal. A very strong debut album that is hopefully a sign of more to come from them.
review
Speedkiller – Inferno
June 17, 2024
Overall, “Inferno” from SPEEDKILLER is a solid debut. Fusing Black and Thrash, it will appeal to a wide range of extreme metalists. If you weren’t there for their 2020 EP, it’s not too late to join the descent.
review
Hacavitz - Muerte
June 14, 2024
The pioneers of Blackened Death Metal of Mexico are back, and what a very good release!
review
Ad Mortem – In Honorem Mortis
June 10, 2024
I’m not saying “In Honorem Mortis” breaks any land speed record or that it is destined to be written into the blasphemous annals of Black Metal history, but it is a solid debut and AD MORTEM is a band to watch.
review
ARISTARCHOS - Martyr of Star and Fire
June 10, 2024
ARISTARCHOS is a black metal band from Scotland; “Martyr of Star and Fire,” is their […]
review
Oubliette - Eternity Whispers
June 9, 2024
This album is every bit as engaging and commanding as their other music. This one will definitely be around for years to come!
review
Lucifuge – Hexensabbat
June 3, 2024
From the first discordant riff of “Gates of the Eternal Night” to the last fading echo of “Cursed to Eternity,” this album is relentless and furious.
review
Verwoed - The Mother
May 28, 2024
...an unique album by a musician that clearly has an unique vision. This interesting piece of blackened storytelling is well worth your time no matter what type of metal you are into.
review
Lunar Spells - Sacraments of Necromantical Empires
May 20, 2024
All in all, LUNAR SPELLS’s “Sacraments of Necromantical Empires,” is a solid listen, if unremarkable. If you like raw black metal, you could do worse than listening to this album.
review
Stress Angel – Punished by Nemesis
May 19, 2024
Call it getting back to basics, call it an inoculation against the watered down, mainstream bullshit that is flooding so many metal streams, but “Punished by Nemesis” revitalizes through its sheer will to destroy.
review
Serement - Abhorrent Invocations
May 16, 2024
All in all, SEREMENT is another amazing Greek band and “Abhorrent Invocations” is another top notch Greek album. This is a quality release that raises the bar for the genre as we approach the second half of the year.
review
Heresiarch- Edifice
May 15, 2024
HERESIARCH’s “Edifice” has impressed the hell out of me and I wonder where this band has been all my life. Any fan of music that is constantly against the grain and pushing itself to the next level needs to check this out.
review
Desolation Temple - Desolation Temple
May 14, 2024
This Brazilian band rescues the old ways of Atmospheric Black Metal from the 90s, but with an actual outfit.
review
Halphas – Sermons of the Black Flame
May 6, 2024
With “Sermons of the Black Flame,” HALPHAS sets their banner firmly in the corpse of their enemy and unfurls their profane Black Metal standard. Behold and bask.
review
Compress – The Final Level of Consciousness
May 6, 2024
From the disturbingly serene cover art to the supreme production values to the inhuman songwriting and execution, “The Final Level of Consciousness” is simply a remarkable album.
review
Wolves Of Perdition - Ultra Violence
May 6, 2024
WOLVES OF PERDITON’s “Ultra Violence” is a nice surprise for this humble reviewer. As it happens, I’ve been reviewing more doom and death than black metal this year but this one is an standout for the genre so far this year as far as I’m concerned.
review
Armagh – Exclamation Point
April 29, 2024
How to sum up AMARGH’s “Exclamation Point”? Some hit and miss, but mostly hit. If you ever drove a Harley without a helmet or smoked filter-less Camel cigarettes, this is probably your jam.
review
Farsot - Life Promised Death
April 29, 2024
All in all,
FARSOT
’s “
Life Promised Death
” is a nice surprise and an album that I can definitely see myself going back to throughout the year.
review
Sun Of Nothing - Maze
April 23, 2024
All in all, “Maze” is a nasty album with a sound that is nearly palpable. The extremity of the album is nothing short of impressive but also just as immersive. Any fan of underground music that goes against the grain needs this in their collection.
review
Narbeleth – A Pale Crown
April 22, 2024
NARBELETH may have relocated across half the globe, and they may have left part of their dark hearts in Havana—but they have lost none of their resolute evil.
review
Dödsrit - Nocturnal Will
April 22, 2024
DÖDSRIT continue to be one of the more exciting bands in the blackened scene because their offers a lot of variety that makes it very appealing to all sorts of fans, even metalheads who usually shy away from black metal, or anything related to it. “Nocturnal Will,” represents a band that has really found their sound with no signs of slowing down.
review
Seltsame Erden - Gedankentempeln
April 3, 2024
The Old Flame of Black Metal still burns on this German band's music.
review
Hulder - Verses In Oath
March 31, 2024
All in all, HULDER’s “Verses In Oath” is a stunning second full-length album that avoid the dreaded sophomore slump by not just matching the debut but being truly better on all levels.
review
Merrimack – Of Grace and Gravity
March 25, 2024
Balancing Atmospheric Melodic with lo-fi brutality, “Of Grace and Gravity” is both haunting and bludgeoning.
review
Above Aurora - Myriad Woes
March 25, 2024
All in all, ABOVE AURORA’s “Myriad Woes,” isn’t a band album but it also doesn’t have what it takes to keep my interests.
review
Vemod – The Deepening
March 18, 2024
“The Deepening” will leave hoarfrost on your turntable and summon all varieties of unholy entities . . . like existential musings and cosmic fear.
review
Nocturnal Sorcery - Captive in the Breath of Life
March 14, 2024
A very good Old School Finnish Black Metal release.
review
Hasturian Vigil - Unveiling the Brac’thal
March 14, 2024
A very good Irish Black Metal revelation, indeed.
review
Rotting Christ - Pro Xristou
March 7, 2024
ROTTING CHRIST once again prove with “Pro Xristou” they are still among the best in the scene and deserve all the credit they have received. There is definitely a renewed energy to their sound and every song offers something enjoyable.
review
Vargrav - The Nighthold
March 4, 2024
All in all, VARGRAV's "The Nighthold" has its moments of brightness but it ultimately didn't hold my interest for very long. This certainly not a bad album but it's one I won't revisit often.
review
Litosth - Cesariana
March 4, 2024
This album offers a solid experience but not much else. It is definitely worth giving a couple listens but it won’t stick around for long.
review
Borknagar - Fall
February 26, 2024
BORKNAGAR's back, and with another masterpiece into Progressive/Avant-garde Black Metal/Folk/Viking! It's a matter of loving it or loving it!
review
White Death - Iconoclast
February 25, 2024
Definitely not a bad album. It definitely showcases the extremity of black metal while also making it clear that keys and symphonics don't have to water down an album.
review
Nyrst - Völd
February 25, 2024
All in all, NYRST’s “Völd” is quite the nice surprise for me. This one has a variety of moods and styles that will appeal to a broad category of metal fans.
