Obroa-Skai – Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time
Science Progresses One Funeral At A Time is a terrific piece of work, haunting, cathartic, beautiful, and devastating.
Narzissus – Akt I: Wille ~ Akt II: Fall ~ Akt III: Erlösung
This release shows all the emotional power available in black metal.
Totenmesse – Fiktionlust
Fiktionlust is more concise and doesn’t have any hiccups in the tracklist
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound To Fall
The members use the various styles of metal as different mediums in their quest to create their artistic statement and are not limited by one single metal trope.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Walking Corpse – Born In Hell
Like a pulsating globe of razor wire and broken glass, the album chases you down intent on psychic destruction.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – Annihilation
Allow the annihilation.
Oerheks – Valkengebed
Both hold that tension of the hunt, while also being suggestive of natural beauty.
Paint It Black – Famine
I’m embarrassed to say that Famine is serving as my introduction to the band, but these eight tracks across less than twenty minutes have placed them firmly on my radar.
Seder/Galdr – Tranquilities II: The Air, The Silence, The Vast Array of Emptiness
Deeply mesmeric compositions drew us each into the depths of our souls, to the most contemplative layers, where we experienced epiphanies which are hard to put into words.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Revulsed – Nefarious Devourment
This is the foulest of foul, and one of the rare releases of this style that doesn’t bore me to tears.
