Febris Manea – Through Pale Opulence Thy Reign is Doomed

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

I’ve been following Febris Manea for a while now. From humble beginnings he’s slaved away creating the most twisted and dark black metal as possible, and consistently doing so. In the early days of course, he wore his influences on his sleeves, taking from the book of Xasthur, Leviathan, and Japan’s legendary Endless Dismal Moan….

Black Mountain Hunger, hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, presents us with their latest self titled EP. A massive sounding atmospheric black metal album that truly captures the nature of the Appalachian mountains. Creating an awesome massive wall of sound with its swirling guitar riffs and hypnotic double bass drums that’s paired along side sinister sounding…

Obsolete Incunabulum – Shadows Mask…

Posted on April 22, 2021February 16, 2022 by deshift00

I’m torn on this one. Canadian black metal cultists Obsolete Incunabulum release their first demo, a haunting 24 minutes of pure oppressive noise. I feel like there’s a lot of potential that is really missed here. While on one hand, I enjoy the atmosphere it creates, especially on the opening track which is appropriately named…

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

Taking a page out of the second-wave text book, Canadian born Spectral Wound releases their latest full length album, A Diabloic Thirst. This being their third album, its clear sign they’re no strangers to the black metal sound, having a very vibrant sound that’s energetic and rather fresh despite it using the old style of…

θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

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

Uncovered in an ancient tomb in the city of Byblos, in Lebanon, this demo tape created by the band known as θoʊθ, pronounced THOTH, is an artifact of the past. Recreating the sound of overly reproduced tapes from the early 90’s death metal tape trading days, this demo is an ode to the past when…

Infestment – Human Altar

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

I love me some death metal, don’t get me wrong. Old school death metal like Death, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Possessed, among many others. But there’s just one type of death metal that I just never really clicked with. Its that early Cannibal Corpse style, half grindcore half not style of death metal that I…

Crying Orc brings us Këkht Aräkh’s second full length album, Pale Swordsman, a truly heart breaking album with impeccable musicianship. Continuing what he did on the first album, Crying Orc took the Transylvanian Hunger sound, with endless blast beats and cold guitar riffs that would chill anyone down to the bone, and took it in…
