Arcane Marrow – The Elders Present to Me

Posted on July 29, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Getting right into it, you’ll immediately notice the raw production style. The opening of the album, you’re greeted with white noise that could either be field recordings of wind blowing through the forest, or the raw feedback of a guitar. Either way, it sets the mood and the foggy, somewhat dream like atmosphere this album…

Strix Askesis – S/T

Posted on July 23, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

For a debut album this is truly monumental. Strix Askesis, releasing their self titled debut completely blew me out of the water. Creating their own unique interpretation of black metal in a beautifully written manner. Not much is known about the members within the band, but its not needed, as all is what needs to…

Shambling froth from the necrotic underground, French one man black metal act, Anakreb, releases their first self titled full length LP. Its very much reminiscent of the earlier days of the second wave of black metal. Its cold, dark, and cuts straight to the point with no added bells or whistles. This is simply pure…

Hailing from the Portuguese underground, Animalesco, O Método, coming off of the back of their previous 3 demos, have put out their first self titled album.

The Devouring Void – Hypnagogic Hallucinations

Posted on July 16, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Hypnogogia is the state in between waking and sleeping. Its that moment, when you lay down to rest, right at the very precipice of the dreaming and waking world where all of your darkest thoughts come to life. Things like sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, and other hallucinations are brought forth, keeping you in a unique…

Crawling forth from the necrotic underground of Canada, Wurdulacreleases their first full length, Lurking Hand of Fate. This is a oppressive, claustrophobic, and dark album with cannibalistic tendencies thrown in to create a unique lo-fi experience that is unlike others of similar ‘vampyric’ style. There are no compromises with this album. Immediately you’re attacked by…

Australian based death metal occultists Portal brings us their sixth offering Avow, an incredibly cryptic, chaotic, and manic album which was pulled from the depths of hell. Portal is unlike any other extreme metal band out there, combining the cosmic horror of Lovecraftian origin into their music with sweeping guitar riffs that, chaotic drums, and…
