Gatefold double LP with poster and insert.

With its oppressive and crunching sound, "Of Woe and Wounds" will rank among the heaviest album of 2014. From the 7-minute opener "Blackest of Times" to the ending "Luna", APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE deliver an incredible performance that gives full sense to the sometimes-abused term "DOOM

Cruz del Sur

Saturnalia Temple è un gruppo svedese che suona BLACK MAGIC METAL, un oscuro vortice spirituale incentrato su suoni ipnotici e pesantissimi, una pura voce di tradizione draconiana che realizza adesso il suo secondo album. Lo stile del gruppo è influenzato da Celtic Frost, HellHammer, Darkthrone ed Electric Wizard, con brani dal sound oscuro e carico di feedback, con ritmi DOOM ipnotici e voce aspra e maligna.

La Svart Records è definitivamente inclassificabile nelle uscite ma mantiene una costante qualità ed una evidente attitudine nel pescare proposto molto originali. Ultimi ma solo cronologicamente, questi The house of Capricorn!
Non chiedeteci cosa suonino, inutile cercare di passarveli come post qualcosa o derivativi bizzarri di un qualcosa già esistente.
C'è poco metal estremo, sicuramente, sia nella mentalità compositiva che nei suoni.. ma se la Svart è riuscita a far piacere i Beastmilk andrà a colpo sicuro anche con questi!

jewelcase edition

3rd album from Australia's premier Depressive Black Metal band feat. mastermind D. along with session members from Drudkh, Nazxul, Pestilential Shadows and Drohtnung.

Haunting, melodic and intense Depressive Black Metal, delving further into melancholy and the essence of personal expression through music, which may occasionally remind the listener of another of Australia's finest, AUSTERE, as well as ALCEST, and perhaps "Brave Murder Day"-era KATATONIA.

Northern Silence

Living up to their moniker and the album title, Intöxicated on their debut presents a nice, rock ‘n’ roll influenced style of speed/thrash metal, with the band proudly wearing their influences on their sleeves. Right from the start the Motörhead influences are rather clear in the swagger that the band clearly displays in their music, and the attitude that is shown along with the music that is meant to be played loud and proud, the way rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to be done. It certainly helps that Louie’s vocals sound like a more gruff/semi-growled version of Lemmy. At the same time, the band takes a more thrashy direction over here, and the intense speed that the band likes to take easily reminds one of early Teutonic giants such as Destruction. The riffing styles of El Rancho further brings about comparisons with Japanese black/thrash legends Sabbat and drunken bastards Abigail, or the more crusty efforts of Joel Grind like in his Tiger Junkies project, especially on the riffing style on songs such as Metal Porno Slut.

Tasmanian Black Metal band THRALL have recorded their third studio album as a conceptual exploration of themes relating to the suicide forest (Aokigahara Jukai). On "Aokigahara Jukai", THRALL successfully articulates misanthropy without hypocrisy, blending traditional Black Metal elements with Doom, Death Metal and Crust influences. The trajectory of the album takes the listener on an unrelenting, furious, void-ward journey from the opening track to the final deathlike strains of emptiness. Coupled with the artworks aesthetic qualities of smothering detail, “Aokigahara Jukai” is an immensely compelling document of unrivalled intensity and vision.
