Album Reviews

The symphonic and menacing black metal debut “The Cursed Oak”, by Alex Poole side project band, Kveldstimer invites you to wander through ancient woods under the moon, out via Bestial Rape Records!

In similar ways to the Scandinavian black metal music, the multi-instrumentalist Alex Poole has managed to strengthen the songs with uncompromising aggression. The new songs emphasize an oppressive atmosphere, and the sophomore “Totenpass” differs from the debut on many levels bringing an immense scale of ferocity. Out today via Amor Fati Productions.

‘Snare of All Salvation’ is full of mesmerizing moments of ghastly screeches and fast tempos.

Gardsghastr is of a raw black metal caliber that doesn’t only center upon the symphonic elements. The musical context of the album is quite eccentric and fixed on high creativity hence, making this album sound very unique.
