Fedrespor – Tid
Many of the songs found on this album are delicate, light, and dreamlike, but the feelings they evoke go much deeper than that.
Stortregn – Emptiness Fills The Void
I like traditional heavy metal mixed with black metal and I like black metal mixed with death metal, but it’s a rare thing to mix all three successfully.
Et Moriemur – Epigrammata
Et Moriemur have created an immense album. In the manner of the old masters.
De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith
Hayduke – It took slightly over ten seconds for me to fall in love with this album.
The Great Mackintosh – Yep, two point eight seconds from the minute it opens, you are fucked.
Wake – Misery Rites
The entire dissonant nightmare is coming at you from all sides, all at once. And then they slow down, light you on fire, and watch you burn.
Niboowin – Breathing
Niboowin are a fledgling project, but their roots in other projects show through in their immediate excellence on this their first release.
Nigredo – Flesh Torn – Spirit Pierced
Spirit Pierced is fierce beyond measure. You wouldn’t want to meet this album in a dark alley….
Ondt Blod – Natur
The only thing holding me back from singing along with every single song is a lack of knowledge of the language.
Harakiri For The Sky – Arson
Pure gold doesn’t come directly from the ground. The stuff that is mined needs to be heated at very high temperatures to separate it from the dross.
Venom Prison – Animus
Old school roots with passionate fury and layers of dissonance. Now doesn’t that sound worth a listen?
