Vorga – Striving Toward Oblivion
With Vorga’s Striving Toward Oblivion, we will see this branch off of the black metal tree sprout into something epic and special.
Ustalost – Before The Glinting Spell Unvested
The love I have for Yellow Eyes is sprinkled well within the tunes without it being Yellow Eyes 2.0.
Det Eviga Leedent – Reverence
Det Eviga Leedent brings us their sophomore album, ‘Reverence’ with Jacob Buczarski (Mare Cognitum and Acathexis) on vocals, and man! Did they deliver on this one!
Ars Magna Umbrae – Throne Between Worlds
This is not an album to be listened to in the bright daylight. In fact, if you were to try, the world would feel strange and dim as you listened.
Abhoria – Abhoria
Abhoria is a catchy album, with earworm riffs crawling out of the blackness to crawl around in your brain for a while.
Wiegedood – There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road
…the album [is] rich with feeling, beautiful in the way that a carcass is beautiful as it rots to become one with the earth again.
Olim – A Mighty Disposition
The atmosphere is tense and ominous, while simultaneously being subtly relaxing and full of emotion.
Benthik Zone – εἴδωλον
This third full length by the Portuguese duo travels seamlessly through the strangeness of the deep and the dark.
