Kommandant – Exhibition Of Conquest (ATMF)

2 decades after declaring war and eradication of the species from their Chicagoan Kommand Bunker we are informed that this EP is considered a time for gathering thoughts and weaponry prior to the next all-out assault. This should not bother… Continue Reading →

Utgardar –Fire Smoked Upon the Wolf’s Back (ATMF)

If you are reading this, then you will have your own story surrounding a gateway or “Eureka” moment.  The time that something hit your ears and a switch in your brain was tripped like a the infected in 28 Days… Continue Reading →

Sicut Glacies – Kalde Minner Fra Fortiden (ATMF)

This appears to be a Norwegian/Italian duo, who released their debut album in 2020 and I am reliably informed (by my own damned research) that it was black metal. This EP however most certainly is not. This, gentle reader, is… Continue Reading →

Hammerfilosofi – The Desolate One (ATMF)

This new extreme entity has a mission statement declaring their intent to “bring Black Metal back to its ideological and musical roots.” There is not that much info about those behind the oddly named band but apparently they helped shape… Continue Reading →

Kommandant – Titan Hammer (ATMF)

Having unleashed a parasitic ‘Blood Worm’ on humanity five years ago, Kommandant scuttled back to their nuclear bunker under the Chicagoan ruins hoping for swift eradication of mankind. In the meantime, they have perfected their bodies via bio-engineering into lethal… Continue Reading →

Oblivion Gate – Wisdom Of The Grave (ATMF)

Ah Matron Thorn, musically we meet again and so soon after the last Benighted In Sodom album. Between these releases he has also cropped up with new Ævangelist material and these are just a few of many projects he is… Continue Reading →

Titaan – ITIMA (ATMF)

ITIMA is the second album release from the one man occult black metal project Titaan. It is also a 46-minute monolith. All the things that you might expect with black metal are here: turbulence, violence, relentlessness, evil. Of course it… Continue Reading →

The Negative Bias – Narcissus Rising (ATMF)

I admire all attempts to evolve black metal – but appreciate that sometimes, the harder you try, the more unblack metal it’s gunna sound. That’s just the way it is. So, for example, there’s a big difference experimenting within the… Continue Reading →

Titaan – Kadingir (ATMF)

Titaan’s ambitious debut is one of those releases that leaves me wondering what on earth else there is lurking between the cracks in the extreme music scene. On the one hand, it’s always an impressive risk when a band reaches… Continue Reading →

Animus Mortis – Testimonia (ATMF)

It’s been a while – over six years – since Animus Mortis released their debut album ‘Atrabilis (Residues from Verb & Flesh)’ and much has changed within the black metal scene since then. Despite this, Animus Mortis’s music has always… Continue Reading →

Coil Commemorate Enslave – L’Infinita Vanità Del Tutto (ATMF)

Taking the poetry of Giovanni Pascoli as narrative muse these oddly named Italians are off in search of the infinite vanity of everything on their debut album here. Calling the actual band vain would be completely wrong however as they… Continue Reading →

Absentia Lunae – Vorwarts (ATMF)

Authors of two previous albums, Italy’s Absentia Lunae (AL for this review) have been haunting the black metal scene since 2002. Album number three, ‘Vorwarts’ – apparently meaning “forward, never look back” – is my introduction to the band. Where… Continue Reading →
