This is the debut album from Italian black metal band Blutsauger.
Nocturnal Blood Tyrants contains 34 minutes of primal, atavistic black metal. Blutsauger play it hard, nasty, and grim. It may be 2025, but around these parts it’s 1993. I liked this one a lot. Continue reading “Blutsauger – Nocturnal Blood Tyrants (Review)”

Azaghal are a Finnish black metal band and this is their eleventh album.
It’s been many, many years since I last heard Azaghal. This is definitely my loss, as I was a huge fan of the band at one point.
