EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Archangel A.D. – Beacons

EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Höstblod – Tusen ögon

The album is an exceptionally intense listen, certainly in the running for the best and most visceral release in this style this year.

FEATURE: Neptunian Maximalism – Éons
…metal-adjacent, and utterly, mind-blowingly impossible to describe, though I will attempt to do just that in this feature article.
