Limbes – Ecluse (LADLO)

It has been a while since a band made me sit up and pay attention as much as Limbes’ latest release did. There I was expecting a polished, melodic atmospheric black metal album, but instead I had my face ripped… Continue Reading →

Kringa – All Stillborn Fires, Lick My Heart (Van Records / Terratur Possessions)

This curiously titled work comes from Kringa, a band which has been around for 13 years and which has now released two full albums along with some eps and demos. Essentially a black metal band, one thing which comes across… Continue Reading →

Lumen Ad Mortem – Upon the Edge of Darkness (Bitter Loss Records)

Australian Black Metal with strong Norse influences and a strong interest in the epic sagas of Scandinavia; that is the modus operandi of Adelaide triumvirate Lumen Ad Mortem. Following a 2019 demo release, the LAM trio have returned with a… Continue Reading →

Vahrzaw – In the Shallows of a Starlit Lake (Bitter Loss)

“Maximum speed. Minimum fuss”. And a lot of blackened death if I remember their previous work rightly. Vahrzaw is a band with a 30-year pedigree so has had plenty of time to fine-tune its soundscapes. The title of this album… 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 →

Dryad – The Abyssal Plain (Prosthetic Records)

Not only is this self-proclaiming black metal cacophony, but we’re told it is “punctuated by giallo horror movie inspired synth and foreboding atmosphere”. It’s all about what’s going in the ecosystems at the bottom of the ocean. “The Abyssal Plain”… Continue Reading →

Høstsol – Länge leve döden (Avantgarde)

Chances are you have not heard of Høstsol who have only just emerged out the Autumn Sun but the players within this new project are another matter. Some will no doubt be tagging this with the supergroup descriptor but I… Continue Reading →

Leipa – Reue (Avantgarde Music)

It’s all about blackness and abysses. The artist must have been watching Breakfast TV, or the German equivalent of it. “Reue” (Regret) is Leipa’s second album. The man behind it known as Noise is also responsible for Kanonenfieber, a more… Continue Reading →

Necropolissebeht – TTCCCLXXX (Vault of Dried Bones)

This is certainly an EP of two halves and a rather strange one too. Necropolissebeht are a collaboration between German and Canadian members Hekla (Hadopelagyal), Axaazaroth (Nuclearhammer) and errr Ryan. Now Ryan may not have wanted to play the gateway… Continue Reading →

Garota – Czarne wizje (Godz ov War)
