Hesperia – Picenum ~ True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance ~ (Cantasoria Supreme)
The legendary fabulist of old has returned! I first heard word of Picenum ~ True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance ~ (Christ) some months ago, having become a minor acquaintance of the man behind Italy’s Hesperia. I heaped praises on him before for his grandiose manner of storytelling through sound, but though I considered […]

Throat – Beyond the Devil’s Shroud (Possessed Occult Blackened Death Metal)
Yay, I remember these guys! And apparently part of the band is in Finland now or something, but who cares? If you’re into nihilistic, occult soul sacrifice, that’s the only thing that really matters. Last time I encountered Throat was over two years ago, and it’s great to see that they’re still depraved as […]

Lvthn – The Devil’s Bridge (Smarty Pants Occult Black Metal)
Ah, the serene cover art you see above so accurately captures the experience of listening to The Devil’s Bridge. I don’t believe I’ve heard of Belgium’s Lvthn until this moment, and though they’ve been around for over a decade, their offerings have been sparse as they maintain an aloof existence in the community. But […]

Ash Magick – Rituals of Anathematic East (Real Black Metal Witchcraft)
I feel like only close friends with a similar, nihilistic mindset, could craft something of this nature. Lo and behold, the two soulless husks who made this appear to be such a case. Suffice to say the two women behind Ash Magick, and their latest offering of ritualistic, black metal witchcraft, Rituals of Anathematic […]

Nethermancy – Worship Evil Sacrifice (Old Dudes Do it Better Occult Black Metal)
These old dudes got it going on. You didn’t think the plumbing worked? Think again. The veins, that bring blood, force it into the nether regions until the fingers tap upon the frets to create occult black metal mass while aged, vocal pipes shriek with wisdom and brevity. Wait now, what kind of plumbing […]

Morguiliath – Occult Sins New Unholy Dimension (Okkvlt French Black Metal)
You can usually tell when a black metal band is about to go in a different direction. Let’s see what we’ve got here, superficially speaking, to explain what I mean. Almost illegible logo, not one, but two upside-down crosses, Old English Gothic font, black and white aesthetic, uh oh… What was I saying before? […]

Apochryphal Revelation – Primeval Devilish Wisdom (Crayola Cover Occult Black Metal)
Man we got some Crayola (trademark not approved) shit going on up in here with this killing the Jesus cover, which only adds another layer of coolness to this slab of occult trash. Apochryphal Revelation have lived in obscurity for awhile and it’s been three years since they peeked from out of the dark […]

Häxenzijrkell – Die Nachtseite (Halloween Black Metal is Good)
Can this occult aesthetic hold out forever? It does for Halloween, at least, so why not black metal? And hey, we even have an orange and black theme for this one so quite fitting as we move into October. Witch, goat, cauldron, alchemical symbol for lead, skull, and some sword shit also. Yep, 20% […]

Illkynja – Sæti Sálarinnar (I Want to Learn Icelandic Because This Band is Cool)
History in the making here, folks. I double-checked and, sure enough, there was only one other band from Iceland ever reviewed on this site, by a different writer, and it wasn’t any good so we’ll let that corpse lie in state. In fact, just burn it, for from the ashes rises Illkynja, who is […]

Balmog – Pillars of Salt (Bearded Occult Black Metal)
Yeah now we got some Spain up in this. When it comes to metal, Spain kills. And I don’t think I’ve heard occult black metal killed as much as I have from Spain. I mean so killed it’s kulled, plus the dudes doing it usually have these epic and genuinely scary beards they flit […]
