Supayniyux - Genocidio InfernalThis is the debut album from Swiss black metallers Supayniyux.

Genocidio Infernal contains 37 minutes of bestial black metal. It’s an ugly, noisy hybrid of black and death metal, one that revels in its blasphemy and hatred as its claws carve flesh and its teeth chew through bone. Continue reading “Supayniyux – Genocidio Infernal (Review)”

Wilt – Huginn (Review)

Wilt - HuginnWilt are a Canadian black metal band and this is their third album.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Wilt’s past material, (and bought the T-shirt too), so to say that I have been looking forward to Huginn is an understatement. Both 2015’s Moving Monoliths and 2018’s Ruin are exemplars of atmospheric black metal, and the new release Huginn is no exception. Continue reading “Wilt – Huginn (Review)”

Dead Quiet have an expressive and individual sound that sits somewhere between metal and rock. Combining stoner, heavy, and progressive influences into well-written songs with no small amount of charisma and personality, IV is 45 minutes very well-spent. Continue reading “Dead Quiet – IV (Review)”
