Domhain – Nimue (Blackgaze Dirges for the Sullen)

  This is a debut? Amazing. It almost seems not in the realm of possibilities. I’ve heard many attempts at this kind of thing, and I hate genre-tagging criticism, but man there’s a lot of stuff in here. Shoegaze, blackgaze, blackmetal, atmospheric metal, post-metal, doom metal, folk metal, dark folk, post-shoegaze, damn it almost sounds […]

Luring – Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ (Phantasmal Atmospheric Black Metal)

  Ahhhh breathe in that atmosphere. I’ve honed my tastes over the past few years and this is proof. Actually, make that a decade or longer. Fact is I receive so much stuff I’ve heard practically everything imaginable. And I’ve said it a number of times, black metal can rarely wake me up, let alone […]

Aodon – Portraits (Emotional Atmospheric Black Metal)

  Again I’m convinced only the French can pull this style off as well as they do. People always rip on French stereotypes, and maybe there’s occasionally some truth in it, but if there’s one stereotype of which they should be proud, it’s their absolute mastery of emotional, atmospheric black metal. I mean jeez every […]

Kamra – Cerebral Alchemy (Dismal Atmospheric Black Metal)

  You ever feel like you have an ouroboros weaving through like your skull but upside-down? And like there are bells in your eye sockets? And like they’re hanging on a stick in a misty forest? Then holy shit this is exactly what you’re looking at above! Damn! As stupid as I made that all […]

Silhouette – Les Retranchements (I Get It You Don’t Atmopheric Black Metal)

  I was trying to understand the hate I saw this debut getting on the onlines but then I remembered most people are idiots and I’m the best at this review thing. To summarize the brief lameness I witnessed, I read that Les Retranchements was lacking focus in its combination of the delicate with the […]

Dødsferd – Skotos (It’s Greek Black Metal)

  Hey, it’s Greek black metal! I’m not sure what else I can say beyond that but let’s give it a try. Dødsferd is one of Greece’s oldest black metal acts, and by virtue of that fact alone they already deserve to be at the front of the cavalry charge into the riff blizzard we […]

Sxuperion – Through Cosmic Corridors

We’ve had a lot of high-production black metal recently, quite good, but how about something raw, eh?  Been awhile since we took a piece of flesh off of the side of a cow and just chewed on it, no salt even.  Not even a fork or knife, we’ll tear at it with our fingers and […]
