Album Reviews
Whoredom Rife’s new album conveys a cold and epic style of Norwegian black metal.
DWEF has gone through many evolutionary changes in the past decade and it seems the band is at the edge of finding a new niche in the modern spectrum of the avant-garde black metal.
Cult of Eibon on their first album observed closely at the classical relics of the past bygone offering everything that would please the fans of Hellenic black metal.
“Angel of Carnage Unleashed” is full of a menacing atmosphere and bombastic orchestral arrangements that will bring Darkwoods My Betrothed to the turrets of its fame.
“To The Depths We Descend…” holds an ancient perspective to the Necromantia’s debut album.
“Monuments” is driven by the innovative approach to black metal the songs encapsulates inventive atmospheric elements.
‘Atavistic Black Disorder/Kommando’ is essential for the die hard fans of Mayhem.
‘Realm of the Night’ is a feast of storming blast beats and symphonic swells. Its textures are dense with the powerful reverb of demonic vocals bursting like thunder.
Thronum Vrondor on their fourth album has combined subtle atmosphere and a twisted concoction of modern melodic black metal.
‘Eternal Hails……’ is a well-crafted album brought by excellent songwriting from these true traditionalists.
