Cosmic black metal proclaims the PR, and they sure ain’t wrong. We get four long passages, a little under forty minutes, of a deep journey into dark space under the piloting of Lennart Janssen. First track ‘Zinloos’ begins with unsettling,… Continue Reading →
I was interested to read that the debut album by Tasmanian band Sens Dep, being the abbreviation of Sensory Deprivation, was recorded over four years in a tin shed, an alpine hunter’s hut, concrete inter-zones, and the Tasmanian wilderness. The… Continue Reading →
Not to be mistaken with their first release, ‘Geist ist Teufel’ (spirit is devil), ‘Teufelsgeist’ (devil’s spirit) is the sixth full length from Dutch duo, Urfaust. In true pretentious black metal nature, to fully appreciate this album, it has of… Continue Reading →
Here’s a thing. Fungi based ambient? Well this EP is the debut from a project by Conchuir O’Drona of From The Bogs Of Aughiska, now located outside of the Brexshit zone to the relative calm of Sweden. Not being up… Continue Reading →
Back when I was a nipper in the 90s…. Ok, just in my 30s…. I was exploring the odd world of what I like to think of as “post -Norwegian black metal weirdshit”. Elend, Monumentum, Mortiis era 1, Ahkenaton’s Divine… Continue Reading →

We do get the odd bit of strangeness into the Ave Noctum presidium now and than. Which is always welcomed by one or other of the scribes. A bit of avant-garde noodling, some abstract noise, some Satanic jazz salsa; whatever… Continue Reading →
The name of the band rather gives away the fact that they’re German. Gruppe Planet is an electronically-inclined instrumental band. I soon became hypnotised by the calm and dreamy ambience of the opening title track. There’s a kind of post… Continue Reading →
While the bulk of the releases covered by Ave Noctum fall into the extreme category in one way or another, we are also partial to an occasional more atmospheric release. While not extreme in terms of brutality, let’s be clear… Continue Reading →
Warning! This reviewer is now leaving his comfort zone… It’s with great trepidation that I not only dip my toe into post-rock waters but also try to pronounce this band’s name. Iiah (‘eye-aah’, I believe) hail from Adelaide, Australia, and… Continue Reading →
