Album Reviews

Det Evia Leendet on the sophomore album “Reverence” pulled off a unique architecture embedded in the powerful cacophony of a blistering wall of sound.

Furis Ignis’ debut album “Decapitate the Aging World” is a raw set of five primitive unholy black metal anthems.

Ifernach managed to pull a great mixture of malicious old-school black metal on its fifth album “Capitulation Of All Life”.

“Trisagion” offers a grand spectacle of how modern atmospheric black metal and funeral doom can be effectively engaging and powerful when merged.

“Funeral” is based on the raw style of the early nineties where the music revel in brings some grimy Necro black metal.

Breaking free from the mold, Wiegedood has created a musical masterpiece of discomfort, extremes and harshness!

Mastermind Swartadauþuz takes the frosty elements of lo-fi black metal and carves sonic landscapes of a wintry opus on the third outing “De Fornas Likgaldrar”.

Verbum’s first full length album “Exhortation to the Impure” takes a profound approach to death/doom metal, this is definitely an album that you shouldn’t miss.

Nocturnal Graves fourth album “An Outlaw’s Stand” is full of raptures and grits where the Aussies deliver the outright rampage of blackened thrash/death metal.

‘Deiform’ is a raw black metal album that feels deeply steeped in the old-school tradition of the second wave.
