Lautreamont’s ‘Silence of the Deceased’ is an avant-garde extreme metal poetry for the 21st century.

Pandaemorthium is an exceptional monument of innovation, Esoctrilihum has crafted an avant-garde album of twisted dark vibe of cosmic black metal!!!

Patriarchs of Evil is a great follow up album to their previous offering, and Varathron has found the right balance of mixing folk melodies with raw black metal.

Dimmu Borgir is at the top of their game by installing fresh traits on their tenth album.

With all the celebration around the 20th anniversary of Emperor’s magnum opus ‘ Anthems of the Welkins at Dusk’ you might almost be forgiven for forgetting that Ihsahn has been running a very successful solo career for more than a decade.

Vargrav has crafted an outstanding debut and Netherstorm grips the sombre spirit of the winter.
