Saligia are a Norwegian black metal duo who released their debut Sic Transit Gloria Mundi in 2011, followed by the Lvx Aeternae EP in 2013. I enjoyed both of those releases immensely, so I was quite pleased to see that they had released a new full-length and leapt at my first opportunity to give this new one a spin. As soon as the first track started, I was quite perplexed as I wasn’t even sure that this was the same band. It would be a rather significant understatement if I were to say that this album is a departure from the haunting atmosphere that their previous works developed so well.

PARADISE LOST present all their classics recorded live at The Ancient Roman Theatre of Philippopolis in Plovdiv, Bulgaria featuring the Orchestra of State Opera Plovdiv and Rodna Pesen Choir. Vocalist Nick Holmes states: "We have recorded elements of orchestration many times in the studio over the last two decades, as many of our songs lend themselves well to classical arrangement. However, we have never before had the chance to play with a real orchestra in a live situation, so it was very exciting to have the opportunity to play with the Plovdiv Philharmonic and doing that in such a prestigious location as the Roman theatre." Orchestrated by conductor Levon Manukyan, who already has given the classical treatment to works by Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper, Nirvana, Judas Priest, and many more as well as collaborating with Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish) and other prestigious soloists, “Symphony For The Lost” not only presents classic and current PARADISE LOST songs in an astonishing musical fashion, but also an impressive visual setting.

From formless mist emerges CHTHONIC CULT and their debut album, I Am the Scourge of Eternity. The roots of CHTHONIC CULT lay in both Berlin and Wroclaw, but those are merely earthly bindings, for the all-enveloping soundworld of I Am the Scourge of Eternity resolutely lays in the Beyond. Comprising four monolithic tracks, each one as aptly titled as the next, in a soul-draining 47 minutes, I Am the Scourge of Eternity is an orgiastic feast for the ears as well as eyes, drawing together bulldozing black metal, bestial death metal, and smokestacked doom metal into a hypnotizing whole. Utterly entrancing yet confidently confrontational, the vortextural maw CHTHONIC CULT creates is "head music" shot through with violence and dragged through the dirt of centuries.

Ten years ago, Panopticon released Autumn Eternal – a record that captured the fleeting fire of the season and fixed it in sound. Amber-hued and windswept, it was both a lament for change and a hymn of hope for the road ahead.

The album marked the closing chapter of the trilogy begun with Kentucky (2012) and carried forward with Roads to the North (2014). Here, Austin Lunn wove black metal with threads of Americana, folk, and postrock into an immersive journey steeped in sadness, beauty, and transcendence. From the sweeping melancholy of 'A Superior Lament' to the rustic violin of Johan Becker and the somber cello of Nostarion, Autumn Eternal is a meditation on loss, memory, and the passage of time.

A decade later, Autumn Eternal still glows with the same autumnal fire – a testament to its place as one of the most honest and affecting metal albums of its time.
