Örastimar – Näster
Hailing from the dark forests of Germany, Örastimar brings us their debut offering Näster. This is a raw and hard hitting EP that keeps true to black metal ethics. Very little extra frills or added synths or gimmicks. Just straight misanthropy and hatred. Nothing more soothing than some raw black metal like this I tell…
Kiukinberg – Adorn My Flesh in Shadows
Hailing from the heart of the Enchanted Mountains, Kiukinberg presents us with their second offering Adorn My Flesh in Shadows. This is a punky and wicked sounding black metal release. Grainy and raw guitars, very forward sounding and punchy drums, and bewitching vocals that screech like a damned soul. So much energy and force behind…
Crimson Tower – Aeternal Abyss
Hailing from Brazil, Crimson Tower, presents us with their debut offering Aeternal Abyss. An epic and classic sounding doom metal album that revives the classic sounds of heavy metal. Meaty riffs, punchy drums, and wailing vocals that drip with emotion. The production is also old school, having that vintage raw feeling reminiscent of bands like…
Luke Itch – Sleep Studies
Some of the greatest works of art have been inspired by sleep, or a lack there of. Petar Lukić, or known more simply as ‘Luke Itch’, took a drink from that fountain of inspiration and released his debut EP, Sleep Studies. A powerful and contemplative piano piece that really captures that dream-like state we all…
Misanthropæ – untitled
Misanthropæ is a blackened grindcore band hailing from New York. That seems like an uncommon description for a band, and it is.

Dødskvad – Krønike I & II
Hailing from the cold mountains of Oslo, Norway, Dødskvad brings their death poetry in honor of the ancestors who’ve died in honorable battle. These two demo releases work off of each other, despite being released two years apart, they flow organically and thematically as well. The imagery of medieval Norwegian battlefields fits so well for…
Glyph – Remind Us of The Sun
A mysterious act hailing out of the US, Glyph bringing us their first full length release, Remind Us of the Sun. Though, not their only release, they bring us this off the back of of two demos, and an EP. The style is somewhat consistent and typical black metal, with raw production that cements a…
Serpenthanas – Death’s Essence

Warslaughter – Autofagia
Independent Spanish warmongers known as Warslaughter fire off their first full length release Autofagia, a dense, guttural, and disgusting album filled with twisted and demonic utterings from what ever dark depths these guys crawled out from. This is a very dense blackened death metal release, plenty of crude guitar riffs and a steady hard hitting…
