Album Reviews
Rotting Christ and Varathron, two bands who stood at the cradle of the Hellenic black metal scene finally come together on the most old school of formats: a 7 inch split vinyl called ‘Duality of the Unholy Existence’.
Dive into the maelstrom that is Tchornobog and journey across the moonless night sky of black metal, cavernous abysses of death and desolate wastelands of doom.
On their way to the Carpathians Italian master of the macabre Abhor and Abysmal Grief stopped for a curious split out now via Iron Bonehead.
Out of nowhere, mgła dropped their brand new full-length ‘Age of Excuse’, another record full of misanthropic black metal!
“Secular Flesh” is dark and beautifully mesmerizing in its mystical nature of transcendence. It is recommended for those who like atmospheric black metal with a refined touch of creativity and harmony.
Vespasian and Horaz are experienced musicians and both understand how to find balance between atmospheric and symphonic black metal.
While I appreciate the guts it took to not stick to the formula that works for Enthroned, I don’t think this is a really good album although it certainly could be the stepping stone to an absolute classic.
Funeral Storm’s Arcane Mysteries is as much a tribute to Hellenic black metal as it is a testament to its legacy.
Devil Worshipper takes you on a demented and emotional ride littered with sin and temptation. And Satan, of course Satan!
Abbath’s “Outstrider” strikes fiercely and delivers a strong performance each of the eight tracks feature some of the best guitar solos you’ll ever hear.
