Album Reviews

Death Clan OD is a Mephistophelian soundtrack to the dark and occult ages.

After their two demo’s and three EP’s, Slaughter Messiah brings their characteristic sophisticated, aggressive and black sound

‘Ascension’ constitutes the third and final arc of the tryptich that Regarde Les Hommes Tomber started with their self-titled debut album nearly 7 years ago.

The French duo Khaosgott and Fog takes a wider approach to create a saccharine quality of melodic black metal on Cénotaphe’s latest release.

Cult of Fire’s “Nirvana” presents a modified style of how modern black metal bands can push the boundaries and to expand further into idealistic ways to find perfect harmony.

“Moksha” has more of a characteristic sound and proves how the band can create such a refined masterpiece of black metal.

‘The Harrowing of the Hearts’ is a unique paragon of what modern black metal can offer in the contemporary age.

Faustian Pact’s “Outojen Tronien Varjoissa” is dipped in ancient folklore aesthetics, therefore, the melodies are distinguishable from the other bands.

Necrowretch on their latest album shows new signs of progress and musical transformation. And I must say that I was truly overwhelmed by the effort of the French trio.

As far as musical valentine gifts go they don’t get much sweeter than this. Ihsahn has just released the first of two EPs dedicated to his hometown of Telemark in Norway.
