Molog are an Australian black metal band and this is their debut album.

This is the second release by Dim Lords, an anonymous black metal band.
2018’s Last World, Dead Universe was an unpleasant amalgamation of twisted black metal and vicious punk. A Paler You gives us another six tracks of unrelenting vileness to dive into; 20 minutes of aural violence. Continue reading “Dim Lords – A Paler You (Review)”

I loved 2019’s Carrier of Weight, so much that it appeared in my end of year 2019 list too. As such, when this new EP appeared – two tracks, lasting 21 minutes – I knew I had to consume it hungrily. Continue reading “Eremit – Desert of Ghouls (Review)”

This is the second album from Polish black metallers Odraza.
On Rzeczom we get 45 minutes of black metal with avant-garde tendencies, which may be an apt description, but it doesn’t properly let you know what a real treat you’re in for should you choose to delve into Odraza’s world. Continue reading “Odraza – Rzeczom (Review)”
