The sound is fresh, but certifiably Stortregn.

Who is currently doing a better blend of anti-music? Go ahead…I’ll wait.
Carrion Bloom – Heretic Howl
Rugged and abrasive, the album comes at you full on from the moment you press play.

Mirrors by Pupil Slicer is a highly enjoyable and unbelievably powerful collection of twelve tracks that demand and deserve attention.

Pursuit – Two Singles
File this one under bands to watch.
FEATURE: Sacrilegious Crown – Culto II: Under The Blasphemous Spirits
“Raw black metal is not for everyone, of course, but its strength lies in its ambiguity.”

Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
