Album Reviews

Hellenic black metal masters Varathron are back with a majestic seventh album “The Crimson Temple”. An epic triumphant return that combines bombastic melodies and dark choirs and a landmark in the modern era of Hellenic black metal, out on December 1st via Agonia Records.

Yoth Iria’s new E.P. is full of bombastic melodies and catchy rhythm. Check it out!

‘ΕΚΛΕΙΨΙΣ (Eclipse)’ finds the Greek trio immersing themselves in the dark and mystical form of black metal.

Adraestia “Αδράστεια” has many layers like the rhythm guitar and the driven melodies, the vocals delivery also has many different pitches and they fuse quite well with the music.

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’.

“VII the Chariot” is intense and full of compelling riffs, orchestra synth work and dramatic vocals.

Funeral Storm’s Arcane Mysteries is as much a tribute to Hellenic black metal as it is a testament to its legacy.

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.
