Posted on July 6, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Four crusaders hailing from Michigan here in the United States, banded together many years ago to form the band Enchanter. Under that moniker they recorded a series of demos and tracks together which were sadly forgotten to time and had left to collect dust. But thanks to Arkeyn Steel Records, they have unveiled these tracks…

Portal – Avow

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…

The legendary Nordic duo, Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, return yet again with another release pulled from the darkest depths of space. Eternal Hails….is Darkthrone’snineteenth album to date.

Phreneticum – Der Stille Zerfall

Posted on July 2, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Hailing from eastern Germany, Phreneticum, a two piece black metal act of cryptic proportions presents us with their first ritualistic offering. Der Stille Zerfall is a heavy lo-fi experience with hazy production and hypnotic riffs that capture the listener in its hellish gaze.

Funeral – Catacumbas

Posted on July 1, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Creeping forth from the dark underground, Chilean black metal occultists Funeral presents us with their second offering known as Catacumbas. A dark and putrid album that reeks of the underground from where it came. This is a very straight forward album that isn’t afraid to go straight for the throat to spew its dark message….

Yo Ne Se – Terraform

Posted on June 24, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

Bristol based hard rock band Yo No Se presents us with their second full length Terraforma fuzzy and laid back head banger of an album. While listening to it, I felt like their influences lie in the grunge and psych-rock phase of the mid to late 90s, taking inspiration from bands like Nirvana, Kyuss, Queens…

Nihilism – Cataclysme Vers I’Ascendance

Posted on June 24, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

The modern Greek scene, in my opinion, is one of the best out there. Many of the releases I hear coming from there have really blown me away. And this four-piece band Nihilism is yet another fantastic release from the Hellenic world. This second release of theirs is a chaotic cacophony of sound that has…

Gallows – 66 Black Wings

Posted on June 24, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

I think black metal has come full circle. While there are still many out there who experiment with the black metal formula and try to push it in a different direction, be it with shoegaze influence, death metal influence, etc. There’s one thing that seems for certain, and that’s the second wave Norwegian sound seems…

Narbeleth – Svmma Cvm Nox Arcana

Posted on June 17, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

I am incredibly excited to review this album. The former one man band from Cuban, Narbeleth presents us with their latest ritualistic offering. Now, ditching the pre-programmed drums and gaining another member on the live drums, breaths a whole new unholy life into the band. I’ve been listening to these guys from the beginning, and…
