Spectral Apparition – Manifestation
Someday, you’ll be able to say you were one of the few who knew about this project when it was still completely underground. This level of quality won’t stay there long.
SONG OF THE WEEK: Dawnbringer – North by North
At once, both classic and modern, both dark and light, both melancholy and transcendent.
Epitaph – Sinner Waketh
There are nine full songs across the album’s ten tracks that pivot between blast, groove and doom and keep the vocal carousel spinning throughout.
Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle
The void calls. There is no escape. As a whole, The Lucifer Principle is haunting and ominous, dark as blackest sin, and utterly feral.
Pain of Salvation – The Passing Light of Day
In the Passing Light of Day simply overflows with music of astounding color and textural variety.
SONG OF THE WEEK: Mayhem – Life Eternal
Though their past is rife with violence, murder, suicide, Nazism, and more, they are undoubtedly one of the creators of the sound we now call black metal.
Rudra – Enemy of Duality
Enemy of Duality, is intense in a restrained manner. It is fierce and harsh, but not savage, uncontrollable, but not out of control.
Echelon – The Brimstone Aggrandizement
Sometimes playing an established style to the point of excellence is preferable to masturbatory experimentation. That is certainly the case with Echelon.
