Drawn into Descent – The Endless Endeavour (Review)
Drawn into Descent are a black metal band from Belgium and this is their second album.
Drawn into Descent play atmospheric black metal with blackgaze, post-rock, and depressive black metal qualities.

This is the third album from US one man atmospheric black metal band Eneferens.
