Album Reviews

On “Dread Reaver” Abbath Doom Occulta finds himself at the top of his game with the ultimate dexterity in channeling different styles of metal genres. The third outing is fierce black metal record that will touch you to the core.

Ars Hmu’s debut full length “Empire of Impurity” is as grim and cold as the Norwegian and Swedish black metal counterparts that falls between the atmospheric and the symphonic form of black metal.

Dark Funeral’s newest opus “We Are the Apokalypse” is undeniably one of the best albums in the band’s discography as it ultimately forges new methods of fusing catchy elements and rhetoric harmonies.

“Striving Towards Oblivion” is inexplicably unique excelling in vibrancy, Vorga managed to express its fluent ideas.

Darvaza on the first full-length album rendered six majestic tracks that counter the epic scale of its occult symphony, this comes with high recommendations for fans of Mayhem, Mare and, Behexen.

Ceremonial Castings eleventh album “Our Journey Through Forever” is an introspective record that highlight’s the band’s past works.

Det Evia Leendet on the sophomore album “Reverence” pulled off a unique architecture embedded in the powerful cacophony of a blistering wall of sound.

Furis Ignis’ debut album “Decapitate the Aging World” is a raw set of five primitive unholy black metal anthems.

Ifernach managed to pull a great mixture of malicious old-school black metal on its fifth album “Capitulation Of All Life”.

“Trisagion” offers a grand spectacle of how modern atmospheric black metal and funeral doom can be effectively engaging and powerful when merged.
