I hesitate to use the word “cult” as there so many cult bands from Norway, especially in the field of black metal, but Limbonic Art is a band, or rather a one person project, to be respected. I remember Devilish… Continue Reading →
This is Slovakian black metal band Aeon Winds third (I think) full length in a little over a decade but, as is my wont skulking down in the depths of lo-fi cassette world of late, my first acquaintance. But it… Continue Reading →
It doesn’t seem like three years since this Birmingham wrecking ball of a band graced my review lists but that’s what pandemics do for you I suppose. Time doesn’t just distort in one direction it gets bent out of shape… Continue Reading →
It’s thanks to writing reviews that I know about Hegerøth, and I have to say that from what I’ve heard so far, they are incapable of a bad album. This is a black metal band with control over its music,… Continue Reading →
Ooo, here’s an oddity. This is the debut full length by Quebec based black metal band Maeskyyrn, but I have to say it doesn’t at first sight seem to fit in with the stuff I usually listen to from that… Continue Reading →

Arkheth is not the most productive band in the world. Having released its debut album in 2003 and a successor in 2010, they took another eight years to come up with “12 Winter Moons Comes The Witches Brew”. The new… Continue Reading →
Always a bit of a sucker for symphonic black metal, I was pleased to have the opportunity to sample this album from Finland’s Vargrav, the project of V-Khaoz, the former drummer of the atmospheric black metal band Kalmankantaja. This “act… Continue Reading →
Odd, but when I was given this to review I had to go away and check how many albums I have by Limbonic Art. Turns out I have the lot. Guess I must be a fan… Funny that. Anyway it’s… Continue Reading →
I missed the 2015 Shards Of Silver Fate album by Midnight Odyssey, the cosmic/ambient black metal project that Australian auteur Dis Pater chooses to express himself through; a situation I am going to have to correct. You see just before… Continue Reading →
