Melodic Black Metal from Finland, this is their debut from 2001, it features none other than Jari Mäenpää (ex-Ensiferum, Wintersun) on guitar and keyboards.

Following close on the heels of last year's digital-only debut album Jaundiced Hag of the Wood, Norwegian entity GRYLA make an even-stronger case for black metal supremacy with The Redeemer's Festering Carcass. Like that dark-horse debut, GRYLA's second album features a similar schematic - ripping 'n' roiling riffcraft, forward momentum whipped into a continual crescendo, tension and release waging a wondrous war - but a sound that's strangely classic and modern simultaneously. The work of one prodigiously young Torbjørn Kirby Torbo, GRYLA honor early domestic touchstones like Gorgoroth and Dødheimsgard's respective first albums as well as Kvist's lone album and Sorhin's '90s recordings whilst twisting the knife in different-yet-honorable ways. For one, Torbo's skewed melodicism nods the various schools of dissonant BM the past few decades; for another, there's often a clanging, minimal-is-maximal punkishness that reminds of Bone Awl's influential tapes or Carved Cross more recently. Put all together - and again, with RIFFS to infinity and beyond - The Redeemer's Festering Carcass breathes rotten, refreshing life in strident second-wave classicism

Hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish black metal scene, MOONFALL's origins date back to 2008. The duo released one demo in 2010, Ad Majorem Sathanae Gloriam, before disbanding the next year. The band reactivated in 2020 and released a demo, with a split with Regere Sinister the following year.

However, this duo - Goatprayer and Black Moon Necromancer, both of whom handle multiple instruments depending on the recording - have been insanely prolific together, currently playing in the esteemed Witchcraft as well as other such cults as Necromonarchia Daemonum, Funerealm Gloom, Darkera, and Infernathan. Even separately, both men are notable: among many others, Goatprayer maintains the monolithic CEREMONIAL TORTURE while Black Moon Necromancer currently plays guitar for the legendary Beherit.
