Morte France – Hesperia (Historical Poetical Melodic Black Metal)
Tis the season for black metal of all forms (it’s cold out there and always in our hearts), but only a few can make it to the Deaf Sparrow ranks of “reviewed.” Remember, I don’t bother unless I’d give it at least a 4/5, plus the art has to catch the attention. So obviously […]

Hyver – Shaâtaunoâr: An Album in Which You Are the Hero (Choose Your Own Dungeon Black Metal)

I reviewed their EP Les Retranchements when it dropped about two years ago, and it hit right in the emotional core more than most bands attempting the atmospheric route, but […]

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 […]
