Spire – Temple of Kronos
…what I discovered was an offer of a selection of different styles and approaches under the black metal banner, fitting together cohesively like the inner gears, springs, and screws of a monstrous timepiece.
Pessimista – Uma saída
Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
ALBUM PREMIERE: Rampancy – Coming Insurrection
The album is ethereal, but also urgent.
The Body – I’ve Seen All I Need To See
It often feels horrifyingly nightmarish, but also warm and inclusive.
Palus Somni – Monarch Of Dark Matter
it becomes clear as the album progresses that we are confronted with an increasingly elevated level of diversion, dynamism, and ferocity.
Thermohaline – Maelström
Regardless of causes, Maelström is just that: Mind bending!
Sainte Marie Des Loups – Funérailles De Fue
Sainte Marie Des Loups does an incredible job of showcasing how detestation hissing through the dusk can captivate and ravage the soul.
