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 […]

Germany \ raw black metal \ The Sinister Flame
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 […]

Alex Morkh Shadrin \ black punk \ blasphemic black metal \ France \ Nether Temple Design \ Osmose Productions \ raw black metal
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, […]

Apocalyptic Productions \ Blood Harvest Records \ Chile \ MDaniel Hermosilla \ Mouth of Madness \ Nox Fragor \ raw black metal \ Weed Hunter Records
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 […]

Unholy Vampyric Slaughter Sect (The World Trapped in Vampyric Sway (Darker and Darker)) (Damn Dude Took My Parenthesis Joke)
I changed the art on this using the original piece that makes up the finished cover, which for some reason was reduced to B/W and just a total mess, but hey, that’s what happens in basement black metal, or BBM, this being the US variety, or USBBM I guess we’ll say from now on. […]

Pagan Records \ Poland \ raw black metal \ rotten black metal
Mordhell – Graveyard Fuck (Unwashed Human Body Black Metal)
This is one of those albums where you’re like “whelp, here we go,” because it absolutely does not give two shits how you feel and it’s telling you immediately what it’s about. It does it in a fairly open, yet peaceful way as well. The title’s clear, but the cover, which only hints at […]

ambient black metal \ Dodenbezweerder \ Iron Bonehead Productions \ Netherlands \ raw black metal \ woah long title
Dodenbezweerder – Vrees de toorn van de wezens verscholen achter majestueuze vleugels (Holy Shoiss SO LONG TITLE Ambient Black Metal)
Holy piss what a title this is. At least it translates well, but I’ll leave that up to you because I don’t want to waste any more space, goddamn. As I sit here with disease looming, stuff like this just sits so well. Part of me digs that classic black metal sound in almost […]
