Crystal Coffin – The Starway Eternal
The Starway Eternal absolutely rips from note one until the final fade.
Abstracter – Abominion
Abominion joins the party as a worthy successor to the prior releases, staying the course of magnificently grim blackened doom, while evolving in ever more spiteful directions.
CemeteriuM – Ruin
Above all, Ruin is a transcendent album in which to lose oneself.
Huronian – As Cold As A Stranger Sunset
The nine tracks form a very complete album, going from strength to strength, and truly pulling the listener into the clutches of the mighty riffs.
INTERVIEW: Veilburner
There’s a lot going on between both records. The lyrics were written in a way that fuses both records together so people can, if they want to, dissect the songs and see if they can crack the mystery of the whole concept/story that’s been written for A Sire and Lurkers.
Profeci – Aporia
Aporia, the band’s sophomore album seems at its surface to be your ordinary black metal album. But after a proper listen, one begins to recognize the heavy sludge, doom, and drone influences that add loads of interesting sections on the album.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: 1000 Bone Cylinder Explosion – Dream of Floating
Hold tight through the gallop, then relax into the deep.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: ALKUHARMONIAN KANTAJA – The Hands of the Nebulah
Ominous keys frame the strange sense of unease rippling through this offering to the spirits of harmony. Pushed behind the theatrically strange vocals, rhythmic riffing adds to the trancelike subtleties of terror swimming like sharks beneath the surface.
Këkht Aräkh – Pale Swordsman
Pressing ‘play’ and the album begins… I hear the melancholy and the vibe of longing for something in the music almost immediately
Devour Every Star – Antiquity
This album is excellent – dreamy-in-an-unsettling-way and hypnotic – so it doesn’t matter what genre we call it, nor does it matter that it’s entirely instrumental.
