Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums

Here’s Our Opinion.

VVilderness – Dark Waters

You can call it post-whatever, but honestly speaking, this is an absolute masterclass of Atmospheric Black Metal, where the calmer interludes always add to the music and do not serve as fillers.

Ploughshare – Tellurian Insurgency

Early days though it may be (relatively speaking), the project has enough of a discography to prove their chops as nightmarish innovators.

Nawaharjan – Lokabrenna

Fast forward to the present day and the Germanic black metallers have stepped it up quite a bit to give us a new offering in the form of Lokabrenna.

EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Thermohaline – Sirens

Dubbed as Thermodynamic Oceanic Black Metal, the project rolls through a vast multitude of styles, all shored up on the coral reef of black metal.

dai-ichi – dai-ichi

Unrelentingly feral, listening to dai-ichi is akin to being stalked by a predator in the wild. They haven’t caught you yet, but when they do, you already understand the savagery that will ensue.

An Isolated Mind – Self Titled

What I like about this album most, is the serene tranquility that creates a false sense of hope before creating a wave of what I could only describe as a mournful bliss.

Under the Pledge of Secrecy – Empire of Bastards

Fortunately, Under the Pledge of Secrecy have mastered the science of mixing styles of extreme metal in their proper proportions. The result is certainly explosive, but in a very good way.
