Fell Omen – Caelid Dog Summer (Medieval Anlog Metalpunk)
Yo, my boy is back. Actually, he hasn’t been gone that long. It’s only been seven months since his last one lol! But, I expect nothing less than that from a big dude who loves steel, motorcycles, and wooing the medieval ladies with flowers (band promo for this, his latest). If the first album, […]

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 […]

Auriferous Flame – The Insurrectionists and the Caretakers (Philosophically Inclined Black Metal)
Boy Greece’s Auriferous Flame doesn’t let up. They’ve been dishing out full-lengths regularly over the past two years, three in total, and not including an early EP. I received a promo from them a year ago exactly, Ardor for Black Mastery, but passed on it because the art lacked that spice I look for, […]

Skinher – Heartstruck (Horror VHS Heavy Metal)
Certain cover art layouts give a great sense of what you’re musically in store for. This one definitely stood out with its pulp, EC Comics-styled organization, placing you in the POV of the killer post-kill, the knife metaphorically cutting through the image at a diagonal to draw your attention. I mean, wow. But there’s […]

Medieval Demon – Black Coven (Macabre Romantic Black Metal)
They have…returned. I was first made privy to Medial Demon over a year ago upon reviewing their last full-length, Arcadian Witchcraft. Mixing macabre romanticism with occult horror was a nice mix, including church organ in the instrument line-up, which lent a sound in fitting with their themes. This time around, though still carrying that […]
dissonant black metal \ Godz Ov War Productions \ Greece \ Maximos Manolis \ United Kingdom
Amaltheia – S/T (Straight Outta Nowhere Dissonant Black Metal)
Boy this was a tough week for promos in the sense that I received a shit ton of them over the past month. Most of those were easy to scrap because of crud art or blah sound, but a particularly fine selection came from Polish powerhouse Godz Ov War Productions. Unfortunately I can only […]
Athens \ Attica \ Central Greece \ Chalcis \ Greece \ Hextek Design \ Saturnal Records \ symphonic black metal
Diablery – Candles (Symphonic Greek Black Metal Mastery)
Really didn’t feel like listening to goddamn black metal this month. Don’t know why. Probably the vast number of shitass promos I received. Banal splits. Upside crosses all over the fucking place. Pointy logos. Stupid corpsepaint whateverthefuck. Some shit about snow. Tanks or something I don’t know. Holding swords as if to assault but […]
atmospheric black metal \ Bacchus \ Greece \ Transcending Obscurity Records
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 […]
ancient black metal \ Greece \ melodic black metal
Medieval Demon – Arcadian Witchcraft (Ancient B00bs Black Metal)
Now here’s a band that can get people into trouble. Well, specifically me. And to be more specific it’s because many of their band photos include female booby slaves and social media doesn’t like the reality of the human body. Therefore… I mean the aesthetic is ace and somehow makes corpse paint look cool […]
Greece \ Lifeforce Records \ melodic death metal \ melodic doom metal \ melodideathdoom \ Revolver Design \ Vagelis Petikas
On Thorns I Lay – Threnos (Melodideathdoom Lol I’m a Writer)
I’m starting to realize Lifeforce Records has this “thing” with melodic metal bands who absolutely kill in the production and presentation. Sometimes setting a niche for yourself is good, except with pornogrind. Just let those fools have their netlabels and their weird community of drum machine, family-in-the-audience shows. So back to melodic metal, in […]
