Délirant returns with their second album, Thoughteater. They provide no safety here, just wave after wave of oppressive black metal psychedelia, where speed doesn’t offer escape but intensifies the descent.

Saturnian Current – Illuminatio Doctrinae Mysterii

Falsus Evangelium – Veneficvs, Barratry, et Magnvm Peccatvm
From deep within the black jungles of Indonesia emerges Falsus Evangelium.

Snaking their way once more through the underground, Parisian black punk outfit Fleckentarn returns with their third full-length release, Feu du Ciel, Feu de l’Esprit.
