Returning after a two year hiatus, людоед, comes back with their fifth EP release titled, Monument of Human Cruelty. For those unfamiliar, they bring their own unique mixture of black metal and punk to create an all around groovy yet aggressive audial attack that goes straight to the throat. Compared to their last release Death…

Joyless – Wisdom & Arrogance

Posted on May 28, 2023May 28, 2023 by deshift00

Rising from the ashes of legendary black metal band Forgotten Woods comes Joyless forming back in 1996 with their debut album Unlimited Hate which even shared a few tracks from Forgotten Woods. To me, that wasn’t Joyless’ true debut,its with their second album, Wisdom & Arrogance does the band truly come to form. Having a…

:heiva: – Juorni

Posted on May 28, 2023May 28, 2023 by deshift00

Taking a sharp left turn from his iconic black metal sound, Tervaaja who’s the main brain behind Ruohtta brings us a unique and toe tapping goth rock album titled Juorni. The album is grim, taking a very nihilistic approach that is reminiscent of his black metal releases. While it would be easy to compare this…

Fardeaux – The Den Has Become an Abyss

Posted on May 9, 2023 by deshift00

With quite the impactful debut, hailing from the north of France comes Fardeaux, roughly translating to “burdens” in English, is a black metal duo who produce some rather creative music for the genre. Somewhere along the lines of Deathspell Omega, Andavald, and Dødsengel, this band is able to mold and bend the recognizable black metal…

Orthodox Impaler – Pilgrimage of Hate and Mutilation

Posted on May 9, 2023 by deshift00

A mysterious arrival from an equally mysterious act, Orthodox Impaler brings us their debut Pilgrimage of Hate and Mutilation. A pure and raw black metal release with cold production and an equally raw approach that harkens back to the olden days. While I can’t speak much of the band themselves, what they present is all…

Mitternacht – Blasphemous Warfare

Posted on April 25, 2023 by deshift00

Bringing us their debut demo, Mitternacht makes a blasphemous deceleration of war, presenting a solid textbook example of second wave black metal done flawlessly in the modern-age. While what is done here isn’t anything ground breaking or new, its refreshing to hear that the true cold soul of black metal still lingers around in this…

Apocalyptic Noise – Sacrificios De Guerra

Declaring war from Mexico, the satanic guerrillero who goes by Tecuhtli Nexcoyotl lets his voice be heard with the latest full length album from his band Apocalyptic Noise dubbed, Sacrificios De Guerra. This is a blindingly noisy album with some intense production and hard hitting percussions that will literally rock you to your core. Taking…

Meluniblis – Kill The Kuffar

Posted on April 13, 2023 by deshift00

Hailing from Turkey comes the debut release of Meluniblis titled Kill The Kuffar. This is a crushingly devastating war metal album, that heavily leans into the brutal death metal sound. Deep guttural vocals, wailing guitar riffs and some incredibly tight drumming and some cool production choices here and there certainly make for a memorable and…

Telesterion – Myesis

Posted on April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 by deshift00

The latest release from the mystical Telesterion. Continuing on their journey to uncover the Eleusinian mysteries, their latest release Myesis is very much a continuation of their first release, An Ear of Grain in Silence Reaped. Following much in the same ‘post-metal/prog-metal’ patterns, there’s something a bit more ethereal and doom laden with this release…

Cober – Beautiful Dissent

Posted on March 30, 2023 by deshift00

After a six year hiatus, the main brain behind the band Cober, Sheila Bommakanti returns with her latest EP titled Beautiful Dissent, a gorgeous practice and meditation with the rather underrated pedal steel guitar. This is long distance away from the first Cober album, Crashpilot which came out back in 2000, and the album that…
