Ashen Chalice – Gdje sva srca gore
I’m still not sure I fully understand what’s going on here, but I know that it speaks to me in deep and meditative ways, though the sound itself is harsh and disturbing.
Blasphemer – The Sixth Hour
This is a very strong release.
INTERVIEW: Pure Wrath
If you haven’t heard it yet, The Forlorn Soldier is a masterful EP by the Indonesian one-man project Pure Wrath. Recently, I was able to catch up with Ryo, the man behind the magic, to ask him a few questions. Read on, and be sure to check out his music. ...
مَوْلَى-Mulla
I present to you, Mulla, a raw black metal band from the country of Iraq. Their release, مَوْلَى is something that will cut you down to the core.
Pure Wrath – The Forlorn Soldier
The EP is visceral in a way that few are. Take the time to listen to the entirety of this release.
INTERVIEW: Empty
Shadow follows you from birth, only growing longer and more inescapable (and black) as the years pass. Optimism is for those who have lost touch with reality; the curve of time becomes the cutting scythe sooner or later!
Lychgate – Also Sprach Futura
I listened to this EP about three times in a row, non-stop…unable to stop, really.
Spectral Lore & Mare Cognitum – Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine
What a ride this album has been, and what memories remain of the wonderful imagery that has been painted for you during this trip. Expect this record to stand the test of time… and be something that will live on as one of the greatest splits in recent history.
Interview: Kvaen
“Because the music demanded it. The album would be really bad if I decided to go full blown old-school.”
Wells Valley – Reconcile The Antinomy
Listening to the album straight through is a workout, both harrowing and exhausting, but the payoff is very worth it.
