Album Reviews
The sophomore release from the Portuguese duo Oak steps into the modern spectrum of funeral doom and death metal, piecing together a performance that results in a rather more dark and sinister persona of Oak’s unsettling music. ‘Disintegrate’ is out on Season of Mist.

“Never Surrender” is much of a continuation to its predecessor but the quartet stampedes into a wildfire like tempos, the songs are fast, relentlessly aggressive, and infectious. Deströyer 666 has returned with impressive work that conveys the classic hallmarks of heavy/speed and blackened thrash metal, released via Season of Mist.

”Viscera” is a sonic nightmare sustained by the abrasive elements of blackened death doom, Strigoi depicts utter bleakness and redefines its style where the band takes a logical step forward from the debut album. Released via Season of Mist.

On “Dread Reaver” Abbath Doom Occulta finds himself at the top of his game with the ultimate dexterity in channeling different styles of metal genres. The third outing is fierce black metal record that will touch you to the core.
Abysmal Dawn on the latest EP “Nightmare Frontier” has added some spicy ingredients to the composition which effortlessly explores the melodic direction.
Shape of Despair has transcended far and beyond “Return to the Void” returns to the old ways as it set a new paradigm of outstanding craftsmanship that will surpass many fans of funeral doom metal.
DWEF has gone through many evolutionary changes in the past decade and it seems the band is at the edge of finding a new niche in the modern spectrum of the avant-garde black metal.
“The Tritonus Bell” seemingly see the Finns at their best musical form to date, this comes highly recommended for fans of Paradise Lost, Candlemass, and Runemagick.
“La Morsure du Christ” beautifully emphasizes the majestic and the grim vocal performance, the songs are carried in the exuberant form of tremolo picked-riffs. Illustrating a powerful presentation throughout forty-four minutes of duration.
