Album Reviews

Swartadauþuz has ultimately achieved his purpose, there is no doubt about how good the songwriting on Musmahhu’s debut was made.

Zeal & Ardor is back with their blend of soul, gospel, blues and harsh music to prove that they’re not a one-trick pony that will get you bored.

Barshasketh have their own unique sound, this is a contemporary black metal album. That has found an astonishing balance between the purity of the 2nd wave and the dissonance of the modern age.

Listen to i miortvym snicca zolak and follow Raven Throne on an adventure through the forests and meadows of 20th century Belarus

After keeping us waiting for 6 years, Svartidauði gloriously returns to form with their second full length!

Nid-Hymner Av Hat is not too far from being a perfect record. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Whoredom Rife became the masters of their own craft.

Vanitas Vanitatvm in general has two dimensions where the band successfully stick to the raw black metal style then suddenly transit into slower musical passages.

Pyreficativm sets us on a journey unlike no other you’ve ever heard. With their atmospheric, spiritual and ritual black metal they take you to the great beyond and even beyond.

Sargeist aptly reached to a grandeur level there was a time when the band was a disciple but after years of cultivation they became musical mentors.

Wiegedood are straight black metal band that has forged its own identity and sound in a very short period of time.
