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.

review

Serpents Oath - Revelation

February 21, 2024

The Fall is guaranteed as you hear to this masterpiece of Black Metal created by this Belgian quintet!

review

Vorga - Beyond The Palest Star

February 19, 2024

With “Beyond The Palest Star,” VORGA have successfully managed to create an album that more focused on the heavier, extreme aspects of their sound yet managed to still expand upon their imaginative, atmo side.

review

Bergrizen – Die Falle

February 17, 2024

“Die Falle” is a missive from the epicenter of a hideous conflict, chronicling man’s inhumanity to man.

review

Burial Moon – Burial Moon

February 17, 2024

If BURIAL MOON is being reticent about disclosing who they are, they are at least more forthcoming about their subject matter with song titles that second as actual lyrics.

review

Panzerchrist - All Witches Shall Burn

February 17, 2024

This 4-tracks EP deserves to be faced as a pure breed release into Blackened Death Metal/Black/Death Metal, and these veterans are riding their chariot from Hell with blood and fire in their eyes!!!!

review

January 22, 2024

Lyrically and conceptually, A+. As for the music, Black Metal is the perfect medium to convey this dark allegory.

review

Dethroned - A Bridge To Eternal Darkness

January 22, 2024

All in all, “A Bridge To Eternal Darkness” certainly isn’t a terrible album but it also isn’t overly interesting or exciting. After a couple listens, there isn’t a real need to visit again.

review

Escarion - Towards A Futile Existence

January 22, 2024

a very impressive album from a band that shows the sky's the limit with their sound. I will definitely be sticking along for the ride.

review

Aphelium Aeternum - Dark Interstellar Mysterious

January 21, 2024

All in all APHELIUM AETERNUM’s “Dark Interstellar Mysterious” is an album that effectively combines symphonics with metal elements without sacrificing either.

review

Ild - Kvern

January 17, 2024

This EP of this Norwegian act is a true 'come back' to Black Metal roots of the 90s.

review

Saevus Finis - Facilis Descensus Averno

January 11, 2024

It isn’t just the songwriting, however, that makes this beastial vessel such a tortured experience. The production/mix/mastering is exactly on point as to what this band needs to present such a hellish, nervous, and harrowing atmosphere. The music sounds rushed without actually being rushed…..like it is constantly on the edge of something even more unsettling.

review

review

Cirkeln - The Primitive Covenant

December 25, 2023

I loved being surprised by how good an album is, especially when I don’t know the band and it's this late in the year. “The Primitive Covenant” is a very impressive album and it will appeal to a wide range of metalheads. This is definitely one of the freshest sounding albums I’ve heard in this last half of the year.

review

Helgrindur - Helgrindur

December 25, 2023

All in all, this certainly isn’t a bad album because it does have several catchy choruses and the melodies really pop but beyond that, it didn’t really stick with me as much.
