Aldriendir aka Andreas Baier is a Swedish musician who obviously likes to keep himself busy in a variety of cross-genre bands. We recently encountered him in stoner / desert rock group Besvärjelsen and he has worked past and present with… Continue Reading →
A regular inducer of chaos befitting of Nyarlathotep itself, Esoctrilihum is well known to some of the writers of the more extreme works of this site, having been covered no less than six times previously. We are well aware of… Continue Reading →
Bit behind the curve on this. Some of you may remember me raving about the Blood Countess demo back in 2019 with the charmingly named The Cuntess on vocals (Eastern Front, Daemona). Been a rocky old time and now in… Continue Reading →
In this modern world of short attention spans where any Tom, Dick and Harry can sit in their bedrooms and spit out album after album, Kardashev have been quietly plodding away in Arizona USA for around a decade, their sole… Continue Reading →
This band has been on my radar for quite some time. From Poland, avant-garde black metal is an apt description as each of their previous three albums have been differing and accordingly intriguingly epic balls of dark atmosphere. The opening… Continue Reading →
Seems like I am no less than the 5th writer at this site to cover a Runespell release. The Australian one-man act helmed by Nightwolf certainly seems prolific, having notched up no less than 4 albums since 2017 as well… Continue Reading →

We are opened up with a howling wind which is then built upon by hypnotic guitar work before the full band launch into a melodic black metal landscape, all creating a basis on which the vicious and malevolent vocals can… Continue Reading →
Well, the label name is there to make a statement about just what we have in front of us and is actually a new imprint of Odium Records designed for unearthing buried treasures of the kvlt underground. Likheim may well… Continue Reading →
This gig was originally meant to be at Nambucca down the Holloway Road but as many are no doubt aware the venue was suddenly and unceremoniously shut down. It’s the same old curse of gentrification and greedy scumlords putting rent… Continue Reading →
This is the second album from this Lithuanian band, following “Illusions of Eternity” in 2017. They describe their black metal as “dissonant”. Well that’s one word for it. I was surprised to hear a dark industrial electronic beat to begin,… Continue Reading →
