Burial Moon – S/T (Mystical Darkness Raw Black Metal)
This one surprised me for reasons that might escape the usual listener. I was told once I review too much black metal, but that happened to be a coincidence for the time and now that winter draws closer I have an excuse if I wanna engage. At any rate, I know the tropes, you […]

Kvad – So Old (Raw Blackened Noise Metal)
Uh oh a black metal band from Norway? Will this be, perhaps, trite? If you see it on this site you know that’s never the case anymore! We don’t bother with negative reviews because if it’s not the best then screw it. We curate, we barely elaborate, that’s the standard. Kvad is much different […]

Pa Vesh En – Martyrs (Nihilistic Raw Black Metal)
When just the cover of an album makes you think of self-harm, you know it’s going to be absolutely devastating. To the heart, to the soul, to your mind, to everything and everyone you know and love. Never have I felt as much self-loathing as I did listening to Martyrs. I wanted to lay […]

OvO – Ignoto (Antideluvian Industrial Black Metal Sludge Drone HS)
Holy shit. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to curate promos, but I must remind myself it’s simple. One, not enough time to do everything, and two, most of what I receive is B average at best. Why bother? But, now and then I get something like OvO here and just have to say […]
Canada \ dungeon black metal \ Inferna Profundus Records \ raw black metal
Trembling Void – Demo I (Hodge Podge Raw Black Metal)
Dang can’t remember the last time I reviewed a demo but here we go fools. Usually I avoid them because they’re too raw, not in the aesthetic sense, but the just trash sense. That and they’re often not given a release beyond a homemade cassette drop, unless they have something to prove, or a […]

Baxaxaxa – Catacomb Cult (Hard to Spell German Black Metal)
Goddamnit these guys have probably the worst name to spell. I mean, I dig it, but Christ I can’t spell it. I screwed it up every freaking time and had to rely on cut-and-paste to get anywhere. Thanks guys… It doesn’t matter anyway, because Baxaxaldkjalskdjfawlkef are absolute murder. Originally crushing the German scene in […]

Gorgon – Traditio Satanae (Black Punk or Something)
The modern French vein of post-black metal has been a personal favorite of mine for some years, which has sadly led me to ignore much of the classic coming out of France simply out of habit. Gorgon has been in the scene since black metal became a “thing” back in the early 1990s, and […]

Awaketh – S/T (OMG It’s Raw Black Metal)
I normally veer off the path of comp releases. I get it, vltra rariade demo tapes are hard to legit come by without bootlegging from a YouTube MP3 download, but do we really need that stuff repressed in any format? Sometimes, I guess, but to make it tasty you need to toss in some […]
Esfinge de la Calavera \ Forever Plagued Records \ raw black metal \ Ukraine \ Umbra Pestis
Ritual Suicide – Nocturnal Haematolagnia (I Thought Those Guys Broke Up Raw Black Metal)
I thought those guys broke up? Ritual Suicide most certainly did call it the end in 2019, so what have we here in October 2020? Nocturnal Haematolagnia was finished before the band’s demise and we needed one last dose of this crazy Ukrainian black metal vampire attack before we called it quits, right? Perhaps, […]

Cenotafio – Larvae Tedeum Teratos (Chile’s Funeral Shroud)
Man what’s up in the Chilean scene of black stuff? It’s so disgusting in sound the more the submissions come in the more I’m sure there’s a real movement that should probably officially unite. Anyway, Cenotafio (such a great band name) come from there, and like a number of their brethren combine the most […]
