Album Reviews
Ungfell’s third album ‘Es grauet’ is beautifully textured with Swiss folk tunes. Recommended for fans of black/folk metal.
‘The Dread March of the Solemn Gods’ is a grim black metal album that involves many epic proportions. Highly recommended recommended for fans of Dissection, Bathory and Emperor.
Fyrnask on their fourth studio album ‘VII Kenoma’ reaches a high virtue in the hierarchy of modern black metal.
‘A Diabolical Thirst’ comes as a bold promulgation from the Quebec formation.
Niht brings catchy rhythm and bass guitar merged beautifully. The recent work of the international duo seemed to be bound by precise musicianship.
“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.
