EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Dyssebeia – Black Swarm
The album is elegant, flowing seamlessly from traditional heavy metal riffs to djent worthy chugs to tremolo riffing to soaring melodies to…well, you get the idea.
RORCAL – Silence
When leagues of black metal and sludge bands continue to narrow themselves into smaller and smaller niches in genres that are already well-trodden, sometimes a band scrambles the assumptions of genre enough to keep everything interesting. Rorcal is one such band.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Wyrgher – Destroyer of the Promethean Path
This may be the darkest entry I’ve heard in the cosmic black metal subcategory. It is also one of the best.
FULL ALBUM STREAM: Deathvoid – Semaphore
This demo is a truly excellent example of creating meaning and emotion within objectively difficult music.
Stortregn – Impermanence
The sound is fresh, but certifiably Stortregn.
Andromeda Anarchia 12/10/20 – Interview
Andromeda Anarchia: *let’s out an operatic ahhh* Music is so much fun.
Battle Dagorath – Abyss Horizons
This dismal imagery fits well into the usual black metal motif and creates a tone for the celestial void to be unleashed.
Aara – En Ergô Einai
Aara honestly sounds like no other band I’ve ever heard, despite some similar elements to a few groups.
