Tag Blut Aus Nord

Ershetu – Yomi (Debemur Morti)

Towards the end of last year, I found myself reviewing what was easily the strangest album (I use the term loosely, quite frankly) I’ve encountered in many a long year. It wasn’t an album in the traditional sense, but rather… Continue Reading →

Ævangelist – Perdition Ekstasis Meta (I, Voidhanger Records)

Plying their trade consistently since 2010 with a prolific run of albums and EPs, Ævangelist have long experimented with the boundaries of what constitutes death metal. Indeed, a quick glance at the list of record labels releasing their compositions provides… Continue Reading →

Rot Coven – Nightmares Devour The Waking World (Aesthetic Death)

Are you ready for some “hideous rituals of blood and fire”, some music said to appeal to fans of bands such as Godflesh, Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, Ramleh, Abruptum, Lustmord, Swans and more? Are you sure? The reason I’m double… Continue Reading →

Ershetu – Xibalba (Debemur Morti)

There are certain areas of history, culture and the world in general that I maintain are criminally underexplored in metal of any flavour: the weird and wonderful world of spiders, the unsettling astrophysics of black holes and other intergalactic terrors,… Continue Reading →

Blut Aus Nord – Disharmonium: Nahab (Debemur Morti)

Blut Aus Nord are a progressive black metal troupe from the Normandy region of France. It began life in 1993 as a solo project of mainstay Vindsval, it has evolved over the decades to incorporate industrial and avantgarde elements. This… Continue Reading →

Urfaust – Untergang (Ván Records)

Urfaust are one of my favourite bands. Am I sad they’ve split up? Yes. Am I sad they’ve split up? No. Am I sad they’ve split up? I don’t know. I mean I’m still mourning Isis, 13 years later. But,… Continue Reading →

Tilintetgjort – In Death I Shall Arise (Dark Essence)

Tilintetgjort are a new Norwegian black metal band from Oslo and this here is their debut album. A few brief moments of listening online before getting the album gave the impression that it was, potentially…er…nuts. So ‘Kvikksolvdrommer’ beginning with a… Continue Reading →

Sisyphean – Colours of Faith (Transcending Obscurity)

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 →

Blut Aus Nord – Disharmonium: Undreamable Abysses (Debemur Morti)

As the anniversary of their third decade of existence draws closer, this French pioneering outfit show little signing of slowing down. Indeed, it’s astonishing to realise that it’s also been almost twenty years since the release of the influential and… Continue Reading →

OPHE – Somnium Nocte Mendaciis (My Kingdom Music)

When you start mentioning the likes of Dødheimsgard, Blut aus Nord, Anorexia Nervosa and Manes as clues, this album can only have one direction. For sure, OPHE won’t stand for Office of Public Health Education, that is unless we’re being… Continue Reading →

Lunar Tombfields – The Eternal Harvest (LADLO)

If you follow the releases on this French label then you know it has garnered a reputation for unveiling top-quality black metal over the last decade and none more so than Lunar Tombfields with a debut of scintillating atmospheric black… Continue Reading →

Mütterlein – Bring Down the Flags (Debemur Morti)

Having previously plucked bass for French sludge outfit Overmars throughout the noughties, Marion Leclercq brings us the sophomore full-length from her solo project, a full five years after the well-received debut. Opener “The Descent” is driven mostly by oppressive doomy… Continue Reading →
