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…
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 is a mysterious act that came crawling forth from the shadows. Dropping out of no where on the Perverse Homage label. These occultists have released a demo of epic proportions. Filled with cold and creative riffs, twisted vocals, and furious drumming, quite the hard hitting release. With raw production and incredibly creative songwriting, its…
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…
Turning the Platonic philosophies into a ten track epic is no easy task. Thumos, hailing from the US, has done just that. The 10 books of Plato are incredibly deep concepts and stories that have set the foundation of modern day thinking. If you’re somewhat familiar with Plato and his works, these won’t come as…
Debuting from Oslo, Norway, Syndexioi presents us with their first full length album filled with nostalgic meditations of the past, Sol Begravd. This is a very interesting album and it’s not like others I’ve listened to before. Mixing ambient dungeon synth with doom metal sensibilities is a mix I never thought could work so well…
RatHive is a instrumental doom metal band hailing from Bielefeld, Germany. This is the latest in a long list of releases. Following much of the same pattern of previous releases, this is a laid back, smooth guitar licks, and a slow and steady drum beat. There isn’t much else to say really, its extremely straight…
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee comes the absurdist, extremely talented, and to quote from their Bandcamp page, ‘read to destroy whatever preconceptions you may have had for the night’. They were not only able to destroy the preconceptions I’ve had of the band, but they were able to do so in a way that made me…
Hailing from the Germanic homelands, Festungpresents us with their first full-length offering Der Turm. This is coming from a huge step forward from their previous self titled demo release, as the production quality is much higher, but still retaining the very raw and atmospheric qualities of it all. The song writing, while similar, simply excels…
Hailing from the mighty Oregon underground comes Gimpand their debut EP BDSM Black Metal Hellfire. Its not that often you come across a name like that. Clearly, the band’s lyrical themes are based around, you guessed it, BDSM and other such perversions. Its rather fitting in a way. All the leather, straps, and chains really…
