Morild – Så kom mørket… (Review)
Morild are a Danish black metal band and this is their debut album.
To give this album it’s full, unabridged title –
’Så kom mørket og tog mig på ordet
En sort sky af minder
I afgørende stunder
Frosset fast i mit indre
Jeg håber det forsvinder med lyset
At dø eller blive fri’
Which apparently translates as – Continue reading
Hænesy/Moondweller – Earth and Space – Split (Review)
This is a split between two black metal acts – Hænesy from Hungary and Moondweller from Russia.
Hænesy open up the split, and after enjoying their debut album Katruzsa from last year, it’s great to have some new material from them already. Continue reading
Ars Magna Umbrae – Lunar Ascension (Review)
Ars Magna Umbrae is a Polish one man black metal band and this is his debut album.
Lunar Ascension is the follow up to the impressive Through Lunar Gateways, which I really enjoyed. As it turned out, we didn’t have to wait too long for a full length release after all, and here it is. Continue reading
Blurr Thrower – Les Avatars du Vide (Review)
Blurr Thrower is a one man atmospheric black metal band from France and this is his debut release.
Blurr Thrower’s music is heavily influenced by the Cascadian scene, which is no bad thing when the results are this good. Continue reading
Embra – Abjection (Review)
This is the debut album from Embra, a black/death metal band from the US.
Here we have a very tasty and impressive slice of modern atmospheric black metal, shot through with dark death metal influences for added bite. Continue reading
Eneferens – The Bleakness of Our Constant (Review)
This is the third album from US one man atmospheric black metal band Eneferens.
Eneferens is a project that I swear I’ve not only listened to in the past, but reviewed also. It turns out that this isn’t true, so I have no idea what I must be thinking of. Continue reading
Dödsrit – Spirit Crusher (Review)
This is the second album from one man black metal band Dödsrit.
Here we have 44 minutes of expansive atmospheric black metal with elements of crust. Such a simple description, but one that hides the dark splendour of what you’ll find on this release. Continue reading
Paths – In Lands Thought Lost (Review)
This is the third album from Paths, a Canadian black metal band.
Paths is a one man project aided by a session drummer, (from Panopticon). Together they play Scandinavian-influenced atmospheric black metal. For fans of this kind of thing, I have to say that In Lands Thought Lost is definitely above the average, and should be sought out at the earliest opportunity. Continue reading
Nightgrave – Black Earth (Review)
This is the third album from Nightgrave, a one man atmospheric black metal band.
Not content with releasing the extremely competent Nascent earlier this year, it seems that the prolific Nightgrave has already released a new album in the shape of Black Earth. Continue reading
