Raw melodic black metal with a regal disposition that carries its abrasive melancholy with an assured presence. This offering from Japanese project 侍 (The Samurai) is persisting through the veils of primitive noise, producing a succession of tracks that subtly ascend towards a long-form climax that repeats a hauntingly, catchy refrain throughout. Like a morbid mantra of nihilism this is some really well-crafted, spell-binding and atmospheric raw black metal from the highest order!

Stillamentum marks Gorrch’s long-awaited return, as well as the first collaboration between the duo and Avantgarde Music. Stillamentum is a full-length album steeped in claustrophobic intensity, dissonant chord structures, and relentless sonic tension. From punishing tremolo riffs and blasting drumming to cavernous production that evokes suffocating atmospheres, the record channels the band’s obsession with sound as ritual and catharsis. Gorrch push further into darkness with an unwavering commitment to raw emotion and existential dread, crafting a labyrinth of shadows and pain.

After MASTER’S HAMMER performed the last show in support of the album Fascinator in 2018, it seemed that the Czech legend’s story had finally come to a close for good. But luckily instead of having been laid to rest, the band only went into hibernation and is now back with a new album after 7 years!
Never the least concerned with fitting in, MASTER’S HAMMER refusal to be confined to certain genres and play by anybody’s rules, has resulted in many highly original albums that defied categorization. Unsurprisingly, “Maldorör Disco”, the band’s ninth album, follows in this direction and is yet another bold release by MASTER’S HAMMER, showcasing the group’s commitment to pushing boundaries. Although “Maldorör Disco” is still unmistakenly MASTER’S HAMMER it’s probably their most experimental and least Black Metal sounding album to date.
The album’s 10 tracks are composed mostly in “dancing” 130bpm tempo. Franta admitted that he danced while songwriting, and so did the other members, including Kamil Princ – the author of the keyboard solos. Honza Kapák’s drums are perhaps the best ever played on MH records, and we’re very happy to see (and hear) Mr. Necrocock again!
Besides the masterfully composed synthesizers and keyboards, the multiple voices appearing throughout the album and the way they are arranged play a pivotal role in “Maldorör Disco” too.
The visual presentation of the album deserves a special mention; Franta has again come up with some beautifully bizarre artworks. Marvelling at these surreal masterpieces and reading the disturbingly amusing lyrics while listening to the music is the right way to experience this album.
Listeners who enjoyed MASTER’S HAMMER’s previous efforts or who have a soft spot for the theatrical and unconventional in general, will find plenty to relish on “Maldorör Disco”. It’s an album that rewards attentive, adventurous listeners, delivering a journey that is as confounding as it is exhilarating. “Maldorör Disco” stands as a testament to MASTER’S HAMMER’S relentless drive to innovate and push forward with total disregard for conventions or expectations.

AMID, the third album of Berlin based AZKETEM whilst continuing their style known from previous releases, first and foremost, represents a sonically new chapter. Besides keeping with the tradition of christening his albums with a single word starting with the letter a, AMID is also proof that AZKETEM’s mastermind and sole member Azken is still driven to craft melancholic and densely atmospheric Metal.
Yet, while the bleak atmosphere the latest offering’s six tracks wallow in remains pretty much the same, the means by which these are being evoked rather strongly differ from previous efforts. Most strikingly, there’s various elements to be found on the album that are reminiscent of bands like TYPE O NEGATIVE, KATATONIA or even FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM.

+ANCESTRAL BLACK METAL+ Remastered reissue of debut full-length by Dutch-Chilean band INVUNCHE. Featuring the original cover art and never before released lyrics. II is inspired by Ildjarn, Dawn of Humans and Bone Awl, channeling vile black metal punk into two seamless psychedelic.
Bleed’s introductory EP ‘Somebody’s Closer’ was initially self-released by the band through digital platforms in 2021. Despite no physical release at the time, the EP, invoking late 90s / early 00’s era alt rock / metal gained the Dallas, Texas-based band a lotta buzz with its gauzy distortion balancing tension and atmosphere, and via several mutual connections came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin. The label issued vinyl and cassette editions in 2022 bringing Bleed’s music to new audiences and wider attention. Since that time the anticipation for the band’s debut full length has built to fever pitch, and at long last it arrives as Spring heads into Summer.
Bleed’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnotically lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep internal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m.
Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of Bleed’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way Bleed let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familiar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.
Australian death metal fiends Vile Apparition are back with their second album. Proudly released by Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Dark Descent records.
Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the 90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.
If pounding madness and malicious technical flourishes is your thing then Vile Apparition have you covered. This is totally cranked brutality and unwavering musicianship taken to its logical and perverse conclusion. A torturous blend of brutal death metal that takes no prisoners and gives no quarter. Find yourself holding your breath from the unending ruthless musical mayhem (or perhaps the stench of offal in the air). “Malignity” delivers what the title promises, and your brain matter will be splattered by the end of a single listen of this record.
From the forbidden depths of vampiric sorcery emerges Black Funeral's most haunting conjuration, "Empire of Blood" - a spectral tapestry woven from the arcane mysteries of the undead nobility. This otherworldly opus channels the ancient magicks that flow through immortal veins, where centuries-old rituals bind the living to eternal darkness. Black Funeral is one of the originators of "Vampyric Black Metal" from the early to mid 1990's!
Each track unfolds like an incantation from blood-stained grimoires, driven by haunting tremolo melodies that spiral through the shadows like phantoms in midnight procession. The album's ethereal atmosphere conjures visions of pale aristocrats performing forbidden rites in candlelit chambers, their empire sustained not by conquest but by the dark arts that transcend mortal understanding.
Serpentine riffs weave through the silence like whispered spells, while hypnotic rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of ancient, vampyric. The production's spectral clarity preserves each nuance of the supernatural - every note suspended in the liminal space between life and death, each vocal invocation rising from lips that have tasted eternity.
Melancholic passages drift through the compositions like mist through gothic arches, evoking the profound loneliness of immortal existence. These moments of haunting beauty reveal the tragic splendor of creatures who have traded their souls for dominion over the night.
"Empire of Blood" stands as Black Funeral's most atmospheric testament - a sonic séance that channels the vampiric essence through centuries of accumulated darkness. This is music for the witching hour, when the veil grows thin and the ancient magicks of the blood-sworn nobility stir in their eternal slumber.

It’s about time to reveal all the faces of the night! Moonlight Sorcery will release their first full-length album entitled Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle on September 29th. Expect nothing but an ice cold blizzard that will conquer your castles, crumble your towers and withhold the daylight forever!
Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle is a perfect combination of the atmosphere from Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity and the rawness of Nightwind: The Conqueror from the Stars, the band’s two EPs released in 2022 and early 2023.
Moonlight Sorcery wants to raise the bar, and these new nine songs have even more melodic hooks and shreddy guitar work. Frozen synth walls further develop the Finnish trio’s unique sound, a vibe you cannot find in any other black metal record.
Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle follows a specific narrative, and its nine compositions tell a single tale, with every song starting where the previous one left off. “Basically, our debut could be a single 44-minute song”, the band said. Yet, the pleasure of learning such a tale is yours. Prepare, wanderer, to meet the Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle!

"An over 40 minute journey through the demo years of Irish raw black metal entity Fuil Na Seanchoille (“Blood of The Old Forest” in Gaelic), this CD collects the long out-of-print “Bitter Dusk of Futures Past” [2009] and “Demo MMVIII” (2008) cassettes, subsequently reissued on vinyl by Me Saco En Ojo in 2012. Remastered for Tour de Garde in 2019 by Jack Control at Enormous Door, these early emanations demonstrate a range of influences from Von, Beherit and Ulver to Darkthrone and pre "Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice." Deathspell Omega. Inspired by the history of Ireland from 12th Century B.C. until 1580 A.D., shamanic rage collides with hulking evil, channelled through a cavernous assault of primitive darkness. By turns darkly ambient and doom-laden, the sound veers from threateningly wild chaos to menacingly measured assault. Timeless black metal in the old-school tradition."
Second album by Yorkshire’s White Medal. “Lyke Wake” features 9 new tracks recorded in 2015. The new songs follow on from “Guthmers Hahl” (2013) in terms of song writing and over all feeling but with a more refined sound. All lyrics in Yorkshire dialect with very personal themes of graft, death, grief, loss and paganism.

The Clearing Path is a very young and talented solo-artist recording project. 'Watershed...' was initially released only as digital, and benefits of a promotional campaign conducted by Earsplit PR, receiving a lot of web-media consensus.
It's bleak, noisy, extremely emotional, but listening to it is so easy that you won't realize you are giving it a 3rd spin in two hours without getting bored. It appeals to a wide range of extreme music fans, from black metal to Neurosis and Pelican

"This what I call imagination and talent employed to produce true art. I have chills from that song and it is followed up “Curse”, a hymn filled with almost nothing but black voices, gasps, growls, hissing, vomit-like emanations, ghost-like screams of anguish – this album is a journey I assure you. I am mentally exhausted. A brilliant release that takes many elements you have heard, many you have not and combines them in a unique way that makes this record an absolute must own."

“Emellan Träden” is a raw and haunting journey through icy melodies and endless darkness!
For fans of Enslaved, Vintersorg and Borknagar!
Jord drag their sound deeper into the forest on their new album “Emellan Träden”, a towering, windswept slab of atmospheric Black Metal!
Formed by Jörgen “Jurg” Ström (ex-Rimfrost, ex-Skineater) in 2020 as a solo project, Jord built two albums (“Sol” and “Måne”) straight from the gut, before evolving into a full band. With guitarist Sebastian “Hravn” Svedlund (Rimfrost, Omnicidal) and drummer Stefan “Jansson” Jansson (Omnicidal) locking in, Jord found the weight and muscle their music was begging for.
Recorded again with Micke Andersson at Studio Soundport, the new album keeps Jord’s heart; atmospheric Black Metal shot through with Post Rock and Folk undercurrents, but hits harder, breathes deeper.
Songs weave through towering riffs, soaring clean passages, hypnotic rhythms, and moments of total collapse.
Lord Belial’s “Unholy Trinity” is a savage and intense blast of Black Metal brilliance!
Phlebotomized crashed into the then booming Dutch scene of the early 90’s, and especially their debut is still a very much in demand album, a true Underground classic at par with old The Gathering ...
Vintersorg’s classic second album remastered! One of the best Folk Metal ever made!
“Ödemarkens Son” (translates as “Son of the Wilderness”), the second full length from the Swedish band Vintersorg is unique Black/Folk Metal release. Generally speaking, this is not the ‘happy dancing’ Folk Metal like Korpiklaani, Finntroll or the likes, this is mournful. blackened Folk Metal, with very poetic and sorrowful lyrics, more on the side of old Ulver, but still is something very different from any released before.
On this album, Vintersorg deals with old Scandinavian tales, pagan themes and his impression of Nature. Lyrically this is the most personal work of Vintersorg where, using the aforementioned elements, he expresses his own feelings.
Musically, this is what everyting one could expect from a really amazing Folk Metal album.
The album is very melodic, using a lot of acoustic guitars, most of the time the guitars (acoustic and distorted ones) are doing different things, complementing each other perfectly, also still there is a good amount of catchiness, specially on the choruses, but not the ‘let’s drink another beer’ kind of, more majestic, epic yet woeful ones. Also there is an unusual high amount of riffs and rhythm changes on each song, not allowing the music fall on tediousness and unnecessary repetitions.
Vintersorg sings with full emotion. His voice has an inner strength, self-confidence and epic feel that captivate the listener instantly, leaving the instrumental section sometimes on the background.
About the song themselves... there’s no filler here. Almost all songs change a lot nicely and switch smoothly from folk acoustic passages to fast black metal moments, carrying the listener through the atmosphere and preparing him to the climax moments on every song. Did we say that the songs are very epic?
“The Eternal Sleep” drags Swedish Death Metal back to its raw, chainsaw snarled roots! Recorded by Tomas Skogsberg at Sunlight Studio and mastered by Dan Swano!

Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.
Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.

Originally released in 2015, ÁRSTÍÐIR's third album 'Hvel' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR RÓS. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as ÁRSTÍÐIR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.
