I am really beginning to lose track here. This appears to be the fifth Moribund released Vardan album I have reviewed this year but looking into things a little further the Sicilian workhorse has gone and sneaked out a couple… Continue Reading →
And here we go again! 5th album so far this year and it would appear his 13th so far, unlucky for some maybe but there’s no stopping the ever prolific Sicilian Vardan at his quest for misanthropic world domination. His… Continue Reading →
Having listened to and enjoyed what seems like hundreds of bands with ’Varg’ somewhere in their name over the years, all with similarly monochromatic artwork and icily stern looking band members, I figured I’d probably get a kick out of… Continue Reading →
The despicable amount of releases continue from one man Sicilian workhorse Vardan and this is his third so far this year. Personally I thought he was going to aim for one a month but with the release date of this… Continue Reading →

Released independently in 2012, ‘The Third and the Noble’ is actually a re-recording of Wende’s first demo (which precedes the album ‘Vorspiel Einer Philosophie Der Zukunft’). Here, it gets its first official outing via Moribund records. It is the lone… Continue Reading →
Yep, an album dedicated to Winter, which is perfect timing as it is just what we are in the throes of at the moment and it’s suitably cold. I would say it’s been absolutely freezing but may end up with… Continue Reading →
These Scandinavian purveyors of blackness have released a perplexing and intriguing debut of black metal that has tantalising tendrils of terror suckered to ambient like passages of more softer darkened art. The tone is bleak, barren within the guitar sound… Continue Reading →
