Kratherion – Mantra Lucifer Flagelantes
Seems we’re on something of a black metal trend here as of late, so why not go further with it? One of the things we discussed in our last review was the issue of differentiating between classic black metal and the modern post variety. Yesterday it was the latter, today we step back to the former. […]

Outre – Ghost Chants
Modern-day black metal usually has clear markers; you can look at how it presents itself and know immediately what to expect. This is especially true with post-black metal, where alterations to original themes are sometimes so unusual each band almost becomes a separate genre in itself, perhaps a separate country, or better to say planet, […]

Nemesium – Sentient Cognizance
What is it with technical/melodic metal and artwork usually dense with organic, Gigeresque imagery? Swirling masses of thorn organs, smokestacks, skulls made from metal, gears, and general complexity always seems to be the norm. We suppose that makes sense considering what this type of metal is, but is it required? Must you have artwork that […]

Boar – Veneficae
Let’s kick it back and get high even though we’re straight edge (sorry, but it’s true for the editor anyway). How can you do such a thing, get high without the necessary substances? Easy, with modern doom and/or stoner, though the latter, being clearly about “the high”, would be your best option. Interestingly, you have […]

Tome of the Unreplenished – Innerstanding
And now for something totally esoteric. Different? Entry-level terminology for the uninitiated. This is different, it’s been fashioned from the most ancient of hands, a soul so old it defies the beginnings of the human race. We kind of needed a good bit of that. We’ve had classic black metal recently, some of the Satanic, […]

Shrine of the Serpent – S/T
How slow can slow be? If one gets too slow can that slowly lead to slow degradation? Or is all slow good if we’re talking about doom? The word doom itself implies a slowing, if you will, so slow must be the way of the word and the truth, correct? Well, yes, theoretically, provided the […]
Aeternitas Tenebrarum Music Foundation \ Arvas \ ATMF \ Norway \ true black metal without the kvlt
Arvas – Black Satanic Mysticism
For some reason over here I was just in the mood for some classic black metal. There was a longing deep inside for some atmospherically fragile chords, echoing vocals, Satanic imagery, and all of that. Thankfully while going through the recent glut of promo submissions, there was this. The cover gave it all away, this […]

Embrional – The Devil Inside
This is just a personal thing, but damn this title reminds one of that critically panned should-have-bombed film The Devil Inside from 2012. Luckily this has nothing to do with that. So why even mention it? Sometimes things just happen around here, and just as we accept the random, so must you, or there is no […]
Australia \ Castigated Records \ Infernal Devastation Records \ Sewercide \ thrash for the future
Sewercide – Severing the Mortal Cord EP
Alright can someone please explain what an EP is? Seriously, what’s the cutoff? It seems something like a novella, everyone thinks they know what it means, but no one really does. You’d assume it means a short amount of time is spent musically, but then you get something like this here by Sewercide and it’s […]

Foehammer – S/T
Everyone talks about apps these days. There’s an app for breastfeeding, there’s an app that apps that, we think, and there’s probably an app for how many bananas you ate in the past year, we just haven’t double-checked. Well, let’s say this, there needs to be a Foehammer app. What would it do? Just play […]
