Cultus Profano – Accursed Possession (Debemur Morti)

Being a reviewer is often times somewhat masochistic, we’ll put ourselves in positions that will likely cause us audible horror. The band who we speak of today, Cultus Profano are somewhere in the middle of that for me. Their debut… Continue Reading →

Núll – Entity (Ván Records)

〇 or sometimes called Núll is an assault on your senses, this Icelandic band comprising members of Carpe Noctem, Misþyrming, Vonlaus and Naðra is formidable to say the least and with the single track ‘Null & Void’ composition released in… Continue Reading →

Blood Red Fog – Fields Of Sorrow (Deviant Records)

Festering for over 15 years these Finns have been growing ever more confident in their ghastly art and it has been good watching them grow. Having 4 albums, a host of split releases and even a compilation and live album… Continue Reading →

The Projectionist – Under The Cruel Glow Of Terror (Moribund)

You’ve got to be pretty bold to set out and just go ‘Black Metal Opera’, I mean it sounds great to me and when you think of the likes of Dimmu Borgir or Totengeflüster you can see that sort of… Continue Reading →

Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis (I, Voidhanger Records)

Black Metal is still very much an evolving art form and while some stay true to its roots, others continue to push the boundaries and this is exactly what Polish one-man project Ars Magna Umbrae does here. Following on from… Continue Reading →

God’s Bastard – Last Standing Village (I, Voidhanger)

God’s Bastard… Well, it sure doesn’t sound like the being in question was a planned child! And family relations must be pretty complicated… From the looks of things, anyway, it seems that a lot of bad feelings are being harbored…. Continue Reading →

Drunemeton – Return To Old Europe (Der Schwarze Tod)

I have to admit that I went into this review a little blind, not really knowing much about Drunemeton except an awareness that they are Russian Pagan Black Metal……I googled “Drunemeton” to try to do a bit of background research… Continue Reading →

Ages – Uncrown (Black Lodge Records)

The rather innocuous moniker exhibited by this Swedish melodic black metal outfit belies the majestic fluidity that sweeps over the listener with this second album. Information is scant it seems surrounding the Swedes but within the ranks of this outfit… Continue Reading →

Havukruunu – Uinuos syömein sota (Naturmacht)

Yep this is Finnish but boy listening to it there is a good chance you will get transported off to the Wild West and the lawless frontiers. Perhaps that is due to the fact that it has been the musical… Continue Reading →

Ljosazabojstwa – Głoryja Śmierci (Godz ov War)

Five substantial tracks of blackened death metal is the offer here from Belarus’s Ljosazabojstwa. I know the band by virtue of their previous EP’s Sychodžańnie (2016) and Staražytnaje licha (2017), both of which are impressively grim and black. This latest… Continue Reading →

Barbaric Horde – Axe Of Superior Savagery (Godz Ov War)

Can a horde be just 2 people? Well if they make a racket like this band I think saying “no” would be a moot point and rest assured this album is certainly barbaric. Hailing from Lisbon Portugal these anonymous “gasmask… Continue Reading →

Selbst – Relatos de Angustia (Debemur Morti)

A man from Venezuela and later Chile who goes by the name of N is behind this. The accompanying blurb suggests something of different angles of black metal. Best to listen to it really, and then we’ll know. As intros… Continue Reading →
