Outlaw – Reaching Beyond Assiah (AOP Records)

Damn, there’s so much black metal around fighting for attention at the moment it’s impossible to keep up. Not only that, it seems that even those that I have been unfamiliar with have been of consistent high quality recently and… Continue Reading →

Karg – Resignation (AOP Records)

It’s off to Austria today for some Post-Black Metal modernity with Karg. This band have an impressive slew of releases dating back to 2008. That said, this is certainly my first interaction with them. That interaction comes through the bands… Continue Reading →

Ofdrykkja – After The Storm (AOP Records)

Watching a band’s journey is something as a reviewer and fan I particularly enjoy. Today we look to a band whom I have formed quite the connection with over the years. That band is Ofdrykkja, their debut A Life Worth… Continue Reading →

Theotoxin – Fragment: Totenruhe (AOP Records)

Ever since I got my hands on a copy of 2020’s Fragment: Erhabenheit I have been hooked on this Austrian black metal horde so I jumped at the chance to review the latest spawn from these black arts purveyors, Theotoxin…. Continue Reading →

Firtan – Marter (AOP Records)

I’ve not given Germany’s Firtan much listening since they formed over a decade ago where they subsequently released a couple of EPs and two full lengths. Their last album ‘Okeanos’ was a fine a release however and catching them in… Continue Reading →

Ellende – Ellenbogengesellschaft (AOP Records)

A few years ago, Austrian actor Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Carnage) visited an American late night show (check YouTube, if you feel like it) and quizzed his host on the meaning of some tricky German words. Some were silly, some… Continue Reading →

Waldgeflüster – Dahoam (AOP Records)

This is a sixth album by this astoundingly good German atmospheric black metal band and like others acts in this field their ability to create palpable feeling and tangible emotion is breath-taking. It is also their second concept album, following… Continue Reading →

Agrypnie – Metamorphosis (AOP Records)

New to me, but not new to the world of metal are Agrypnie, a long-standing progressive/post-black metal band from Germany. The project’s beginnings date back as far as 2004, when vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Torsten Hirsch started out all on his own. Although… Continue Reading →

Groza – The Redemptive End (AOP Records)

So, for the last eighteen months or so we have had to unite and take on whatever the world has had to throw at us in its own twisted deliverance, and most of us thought there couldn’t possibly be anything… Continue Reading →

Demersus ad Nihilum – //180703// (AOP Records)

Well why give something a name when you can call it “//180703//”? It’s a hard one to discuss with your mates, so I guess you’d better ask them if they’ve heard the new EP by that Austrian band Demersus ad… Continue Reading →

Harakiri For The Sky – Mære (AOP Records)

Harakiri For The Sky do post black metal like no one else and I’ve not come across a release yet that I’ve failed to enjoy more than the last. Yes, the early releases are excellent and obviously a great icebreaker… Continue Reading →

Ellende – Triebe (AOP Records)

Art Of Propaganda Records are hitting the ground running this January with some highly anticipated offerings from Karg, Harakiri For The Sky and Ellende. All 3 are well regarded in post black metal circles so we can expect plenty in… Continue Reading →
