For those who followed the endless work of Dunkel, should know by now his excellent project (now defunct) named HUMUS.
For those not aware of HUMUS here's a short, yet, clear biography we adapted from TRANSCENDANCE, the label who released the CD verison.
--
Humus is the alliance of Éclat Cadavéreux (Tümëur) and Dunkel (Drakonhail) with the aim of engraving their reverence to the forest with primitive black metal, imbued with melancholy bile and marshy ambiences.
Passionate about sylvan wanderings, the group quickly composed and recorded two productions: a demo-tape in 2011, "Clandestine Black Art", as well as a cassette album in 2012, "Tout ce qui est vieux", in wich the covers were buried in the forest of Montfort-sur-Meu for a month. Not hiding its various influences and its consideration for bands like Burzum, Judas Iscariot, Hate Forest, Braniklad and Forest, Humus is a real testament to Black Metal in its oldest form, pure and primitive, that it is essential to interpret while listening to these compositions with archaic riffs, the rough and wobbly interpretation, which leaves room for instinct and fleeting impulse.
It should be noted that all the works were composed and recorded in autumn and winter.
WAMPYRIC RITES strikes back with six new tracks, in a total of 36 minutes, recorded at the devil's dungeon.
INJURIA's debut demo-tape, explicit and offensive black metal in is purest tradition!
ORDO CULTUM SERPENTIS are a new cross-continental entity comprising V (South Korea) and Fr. Der Cadaver (México). Together, the duo create an ambient sort of blackened death-doom - or perhaps deathened black-doom? Or doomed black-death? Either way, such words as BLACK and DEATH and most especially DOOM apply to the band's first public recording, Derej Najash.

VENTR hail from Portugal, the current hotbed of raw black metal. While an otherwise-new entity, the rippling 'n' roiling black metal they present across their first public recording, Numinous Negativity, betrays a wealth of experience - an expanse of void-dwelling visions that are startling to behold this early on. Grim and ghastly, the band likewise exude a strident physicality which transcends most iterations of rawness, and the same could be said for their bewitching melodicism: never soft nor saccharine, these haunting lead-lines duly transport the listener into exquisitely dark 'n' cobwebbed realms. The sum effect of Numinous Negativity, from a musical standpoint, is a medieval malodorousness that's as ancient as it is rottenly fresh.
Pestis Cultus is the renewed audial manifestation brought forth by three lifetime friends and musicians from Perth, Australia, whose works have already been deeply carved in the worldwide underground black metal scene across various other projects. However, now officially as Pestis Cultus, the trio hold firm to the hideousness which marked Snorri's sadly short-lengthed recordings but ripen that rottenness to an exquisitely foul degree.

Occult philosophy in a volatil ground of oppositions, 26 minutes of dark and ritualistic music, crafted in the deepest ground of Denmark!
Released at the dawn of 2020 on CD format, Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności was VERMISST's first, fuller-length strike since their formation in 2018. Despite being a relatively new entity, the band's sound is undoubtedly OLD, hailing the old gods of their Polish homeland's rich black metal heritage. Cryogenically cold, unremittingly grim, shrouded in a mysticism rich in ancient splendor, VERMISST are thoroughly mid '90s Polish black metal for a modern world too long neglectful of the Old Ways. Pure and proud, Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności is poignant proof that classicism endures no matter the decade, and that ever-so-subtle twists on tradition can result in resoundingly "new" manifestations worthy of that noble lineage.
Now, courtesy of fans-from-the-beginning SIGNAL REX, VERMISST's Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności is being released on vinyl format for the first time ever, with three exclusive (and righteously raw) tracks expanding the release to 40 minutes in length.

Originally released on vinyl in a limited edition of 100 copies, MORTA's Fúnebre was simply too good 'n' grimy to let languish in obscurity.
A power-trio comprising active members of the Spanish metal scene, MORTA are first and foremost a BLACK METAL band, by definition and deed. Unremittingly ugly yet evincing an emotionalism that burrows ever deeper into the filth of the subconscious, Fúnebre expounds upon the rudiments of the band's first demo in 2017 with acidic aplomb. Remorselessly raw is their attack, and yet it's undeniably physical and PURE - literally, the sound of three persons playing together in the same room (dungeon?), which is all too much a rarity in nowadays "black metal." As such, they deftly shift from spiralingly violent hypnosis to scabrously headbanging segments, their riffing duly drawing the listener in with an eerily hummable quality. It would not be uncharitable to liken the latter to a romanticism unique to MORTA's Spanish heritage.

ZALMOXIS stands for storming and epic German Black Metal. Still early days, this concurrent project of Fortress of the Olden Days mainman Entheogen has so far released two demos - the latter of which, Pralayic Beheading, was released by brother label HARVEST OF DEATH. These early works suggested a restless soul steeped in the ancients, black metal of a most medieval vintage.
Now ZALMOXIS strikes back with an ambitious 25-minute single track ominously bearing the title A Nocturnal Emanation. A none-more-apt description of its contents if there ever was one, here Entheogen patiently builds an ethereal-yet-thick fog of sorcerous swirl, its strangely alluring spell drowning the listener in dissonace and dislocated melody. And yet, despite its grandiose length, A Nocturnal Emanation manages to engage at every step, each one rife with grim abandon and on the verge of self-combustion but then righting itself into a surprising twist of texture. This misty 'n' mystical landscape beckons complete immersion...dare you enter?
