REVIEW + INTERVIEW: Dismal Aura – Imperium Mortalia
Though the album is explosive, there is plenty of room for nuance
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2022
Welcome back to another edition of Hayduke’s top 50. I want to remind everyone that musical taste is entirely subjective. I do not claim that these are the best releases of 2022, only that they are my favorite 50. Also note that this is a snapshot in this moment...
Battle Dagorath – Abyss Horizons
This dismal imagery fits well into the usual black metal motif and creates a tone for the celestial void to be unleashed.
Nexion – Seven Oracles
NEXION has created a multi-layered masterwork of apocalyptic proportions.
Drought – Trimurti
Allow it to lead your journey. See where it will take you. Perhaps to some form of enlightenment, whether that be large or small.
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.
