This is extreme progressive art, a combination of extreme metal, progressive, avant-garde and post rock music. Deconstructing Sequence fell out of the ashes of the black metal band Northwail. The title is grandiose. So is the energy-charged start which soars… Continue Reading →
Polish quintet Thaw offer up 5 slabs of experimental Blackened noise with “Grains” the follow up to 2014’s “Earth Ground”. If you can imagine the sonic equivalent to the polar ice caps melting – a wall of freezing death oozing from a… Continue Reading →
Solo black metal projects tend to be more intense, I suppose because there’s no possibility of inter-human compromise. Evilfeast is no exception. This is the Polish misanthropist Grim Spirit’s fifth full album release. The expected properties are there: wind, cold,… Continue Reading →
