Circle of Salt – Suffer the Cold
Adhering fairly tightly to the supposed rules of black metal, Circle Of Salt manage to also convincingly pull elements from other parts of the heavy metal universe and assemble them expertly.
Cadence Calling – Dark Sentiment
The heaviness is definitely strong in this one.
From Sacred Static to Cosmic Veil – A Review of Thantifaxath’s Void Masquerading as Matter
Black metal band Thantifaxath explore further these possibilities of black metal, cloaking themselves to remain acutely dedicated to sound over visual aesthetic. Their music serves as a portal to something both bizarre and impenetrable which disorientates the listener consistently.
Kremlin -Decimation of the Elites
This is indeed a very solid album that contains all the right stuff to make your day. It may not start a revolution, but heads will certainly roll.
Paroxsihzem – Abyss of Excruciating Vexes
If blackened death that sounds as if it has taken a millennium to seep up through the very crust of the Earth sounds like your kind of thing, then I can highly recommend that you get your filthy muckraking hands upon this release.
Auroch – From Forgotten Worlds (Re-Issue)
It has been made with the pure integrity of a band that has no other intention than to spread the good word that is Death Metal to us all.
Heyoka’s Mirror – Face of Void Track Stream
A new track from a new-ish Canadian band that mixes progressive rock with some elements of melodic death metal.
Neck Of The Woods – The Passenger
Every time you think you are feeling the musical groove, they go in the opposite direction, to coerce both shock and elation at where it leads you.
Blood Tyrant/Departure Chandelier – Split 7″ EP
…both tracks are excellent examples of ways to approach modern black metal with a throw back attitude.
Olde – Temple
They are a righteous beast awakened and ready to cleanse.
