Album Reviews

“Heilsweg: O Udręce Ciała I Tułaczce Duszy” comes close to perfection the debut displays a melodic grandeur and stands as a sonic ideal in our contemporary times, recommended for fans of Mgła, Blaze of Perdition, and Ascension.

Djevel once again has pushed the boundaries of their craft in such an artistic manner. “Tanker Som Rir Natten” sprawls over the hallmarks of the Norwegian black metal.

“La Morsure du Christ” beautifully emphasizes the majestic and the grim vocal performance, the songs are carried in the exuberant form of tremolo picked-riffs. Illustrating a powerful presentation throughout forty-four minutes of duration.

‘Levende I Brønshøj Vandtårn’ is built on a massive composition of raw black metal but there are clear and distinctive elements that separate Solbrud from other contemporary bands today.

On “Geister” mastermind Wintherr wields his magic wand in which the skills are remarkably utilized. Recommended for fans of Burzum, Lunar Aurora, and Bekëth Nexëhmü.

With this classic approach of their musical enchantment, Escumergamënt presents the forgotten ideals of European black metal.

Mork’s latest release ‘Katedralen’ brings black metal rooted in the old school template of raw black metal with still their own touches.

Sarkrista continues to expand on the melodic landscape, without sacrificing the main elements of the music.

Valdaudr reflects on the elements of the early nineties black metal. There are no keyboards just the old clichés delivered in the Scandinavian style.

Where darkness and light become unified to perpetual ends, behold the first part of the trilogy of the Swiss masters Aara.
