Hyver – Shaâtaunoâr: An Album in Which You Are the Hero (Choose Your Own Dungeon Black Metal)
I forget when I first heard Hyver, but I can tell you from experience this type of sound only seems to be properly done in the hands of the French. No one else has the poetic nature in their soul to pull off dungeon synth black metal of the fantasy role-play variety. But this […]

Fell Omen – Invaded by a Dark Spirit (Armor-Clad Dungeon Metalpunk)
I should have probably shown one, or all, of the band photos for Fell Omen, because it more accurately summarizes what you’re in for. Let me give you an idea in words, which likely don’t do them justice: big guy, suit of armor, motorcycle, sword. Though we’re given no clarity beyond that, I’d bet […]

Hesperia – Fra li Monti Sibillini: Black Medieval Winter over the Sibylline Mounts
I always try to give something a chance even if I think it will kill me. Italy’s Hesperia is an example of this. All the black metal trappings on the damn cover that usually lead to total shitpuke. I’ve seen it too many times. And that’s just the thing. We’ve got boots in snow. […]

Häxenzijrkell – Portal (Atmospheric Dungeon Metal)
It’s been four years since me and my good friends (in spirit) in Häxenzijrkell traded words. Last time around I tossed out a pleasant 4.5/5 for Die Nachseite, referring to it as “Halloween black metal.” This does not apply this time around and I need to be more serious. Showing a surprising ability to […]

L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres – Funesta Epifania (Metaphyiscally Epic Dark Dungeon Synth)
Big band name equals big ideas. So says Catalonia’s L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres (damn, super long), who summon up the spirits of their ancestors in an effort to create epic, dark dungeon synth with their debut, Funesta Epifania. Clashing swords in the dark mountains with the sun behind them, can this […]

Miserable Abyss – Subaquatic Corporeal Rot (Blackened Experimental Dungeon Synth)
It takes a lot to scare me. In fact, at times, I’m pretty sure I can’t be scared anymore. Then I came across this extremely obscure release by Lisbon’s Miserable Abyss and it scared the shit out of me. I’m actually scared of this. What subhuman soil creature made this? What kind of depraved […]

Cultic – Of Fire and Sorcery (Dungeon Death Doom)
I believe someone already said it in another review, or perhaps more than one individual, but regardless let me reiterate; this is probably going to be one of the top five releases of the year. Actually make that likely top one. Definitely one of the best of the decade. Get it? Cultic has sloughed […]
