Sacral – Three of Cups
Make no mistake. This is legitimate black metal music. It just chooses to follow a different path than the grim, corpse-painted, spike laden creature of the night that so many black metal musicians cosplay as.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Yatsu – Appomattox
It’s a scathing powerviolence attack with elements of grind, death metal, groove, and noise filtered through a lens of pure, unadulterated rage.
Cavalcade – Evergreens
There is genuinely never a dull time on this album.
Białywilk – Zmora
This is one for the dark hours.
REVIEW + INTERVIEW: Nixil – From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire
“Calling ourselves antifascist by no means takes away the ferocity of this music. Our teeth are just bared in a different direction, and dripping with different blood.”
Dethklok – Dethalbum IV
…beautifully crafted riffs, brutal vocals, and tight, clean recording quality.
Witches Forest – Sitting on Stardust
Witches Forest is a perfect example of someone who was actually showing indigenous musical characteristics.
Ushangvagush – Pestmo’qon
Musically, Pesto’qon picks up where Mntu left off, and then builds from there.
Owlbear – Chaos to the Realm
Owlbear kicks ass. Seriously.
Ebony Pendant – Ebony Pendant
Right of the rip, or should I say riff, this album brings you to the trve and cold.
