Demonized – Abyss Vanguard (Savage Blackened Death Metal)

  Now here’s the definition of comeback. I mean wow, exactly two decades have passed since Demonized released anything. After a self-titled that went under everyone’s radar they’re back with an EP. Well, we’ll take it! I’m on a simplicity for simplicity’s sake kick this week, so don’t expect any fluff. Nothing else to say […]

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? […]

Gorgon – Traditio Satanae (Black Punk or Something)

The greats are mere vessels of fandom, or gone, the LPs keep getting repressed for who knows what reason, and aside from a track or two out of an entire discography, most of […]

The Evil – S/T (Non-Evil, Mask-Wearing Doom Metal)

  I saw the masks and I wanted to enjoy this thoroughly. The cover, by Fernando Drowned of The Most Destructive Art, had me mask-loving, But, as it turns out I only enjoyed the music partially. There’s something less threatening about doomers wearing masks on stage than you find with blackened death metal or black […]

Vanhelga – Fredagsmys (Black Metalcholy)

  Yeah this Swedish outfit has has got me crying. The sound of it turns the most pleasant disposition into a soiled, soggy mess. Plus I’m pretty depressed I haven’t heard much of Vanhelga before this moment. The name seems as though it’s somewhere in the mists of my memories, but it’s but a whisper too […]
