Album Reviews
“Ödhin” is by far the best output of Bhleg, combining mystical pagan folk melodies with pure Scandinavian black metal.
Turia’s last release is a hypnotic and atmospheric black metal album that is just perfect for these dark winter days.
Inquisition shows us a methodical approach to black metal by taking a step forward from the foundational sound.
After ten years of silence Ondskapt’s long-awaited album “Grimoire Ordo Devus” spreads austere malevolence against humanity.
‘Totschläger (A Saint Slayer’s Songbook)’ is a testimony to the band’s craftsmanship and skills, proving again that Abigor’s music has always been about originality and innovation.
Druon Antigon’s new album is a brilliant exploration of the boundaries of both space and black metal.
‘Death’s Wings Widespread’ is Grafvitnir’s latest somber output. Swedish black metal to be remembered.
Another Lovecraftian black metal release to be added to our long collection! Check out Prometheus’ ‘Resonant Echoes from Cosmos of Old’.
“The Suns of Perdition – Chapter II: Render unto Eden” is the newest epic brought by Canadian black metal masters Panzerfaust?
Nas Alcameth has conveyed a sublime symphony of nightmare. ‘Melinö’ is beautifully crafted by the multilayered instruments. This is highly recommended for fans of Limbonic Art, Nightbringer, and Aoratos.
