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

Summit of the two German masters of instrumental post metal/post rock from North of Bavaria. The former SWITCHBLADE worshippers MOUNT LOGAN surprise with their turn towards weird Albini-esque noise rock deconstructions, occasionally even with vocals added. OMEGA MASSIF, as you would expect from them, once again create a dard, moody and opulent soundscape with heavy crushing guitars and irresistible killer grooves."

BLUUURGH was one of the first Dutch extreme metal bands featuring Jason Kohnen (Korsakov, Celestial Season, Orphanage, nowadays Bong Ra) with his charismatic extreme vocals.
BLUURGH recorded 2 demos, one e.p. and a full length in the late 80’s /early 90’s.
Their debut album ‘In My Embarce’ is now finally re-issued, this time under the ’new’ monicker ‘Suffer Within, 25 years of suffering’.
Bonus to the album comes the legendary ‘Suffer Within’ EP (1990), directly taken from one of the original EP’s, including the good old vinyl scratches to preserve the old school underground feeling.
The album is completely remasterd by Bong Ra ( = Jason Kohnen’s breakcore music stage / artist name these days).

il secondo album dei Dystopia Nå ci presenta una band completamente trasformata rispetto all'esordio di Syklus, con un songwriting drasticamente migliorato e maturato. Riduttivo a questo punto definirli depressive black metal anche se da quelle radici i 4 di Oslo sono partiti. Disco clamoroso!

from Norskmetal.net:
(..) The musicianship is outstanding, and the vocal duties shared between growls & clean vocals perfectly compliments the sonic landscape painted here. So much thought and care has been put into making everything fit perfectly, and I don’t believe a single note, growl or solo is out of place on this album. Everything fits, and are keys to solving the enigma that Dystopia Nå is. For some this band may be a hard code to crack as they are a bit all over the place, but once you manage to catch a glimpse through the looking glass, this album will reward you tenfold.

For me personally this is a very sought after album, and in my book Dweller on the Threshold is the Norwegian album of the year.

With 'A Furrow Cut Short', DRUDKH are continuing on the course charted with their previous release 'Eternal Turn of the Wheel' (2012), where the black and bleak sound of the band's roots seemed to overshadow the progressive and lighter tone of 'Handful of Stars' (2010). Mastermind Roman Sayenko is heavily drawing inspiration from 20th century Ukrainian poetry once more, which often deal with the bloody struggle of this old country to build a nation from foreign oppression. DRUDKH still refuse any kind of interview or promotion and demand to be understood through their music alone. This album equally represents the blood soaked sound of black despair and full hearted resistance to vile treachery and evil as well as the beauty of landscapes and culture.

Nuovo album per il gruppone finlandese Azaghal, simbolo insieme a Satanic Warmaster, di un black metal ormai iconico che di certo non ha bisogno di presentazione. Ecco quindi a tre anni dal buon "Nemesis", l'undicesimo full lenght "Madon Sanat" composto da undici pezzi ed edito sempre per Hammer of Hate.
C'è un po di tutto in quest'album, un miscuglio di tutto ciò che è black metal nella sua essenza più classica. Di certo gli Azaghal rappresentano una sicurezza oramai nel panorama underground, maestri nell'esprimersi nella più profonda classicità aggrappandosi alle radici di un genere oscuro ma al tempo stesso genuino e graffiante, aggettivo che il gruppo rispecchia a dovere nella loro intera discografia.
Un tuffo nel passato dunque, glaciale e diretto ma con occhio rivolto alle moderne produzioni, che traspare fin dai primi ascolti che scorrono benone, con buon piacere dei nostalgici, vedi ad esempio "Kielletty sakramentti" o "Varjokuninkaat", davvero validi episodi.
Rimembrare gli Emperor poi, in una traccia come "Käärmeen riitti", risulta pressochè naturale quasi a voler essere un omaggio alla leggenda.

Ahamkara have truly dug deep on their debut, The Embers of the Stars, and birthed a world sculpting and endlessly atmospheric album for the ages that embraces a onetime Scandinavian darkness and innovation, while adopting an organic strain of modernity.

The bombastic and grandiose compositions take flight with an orchestral sense of majesty and soar straight into the nightsky to envelop and further join with the very stars this music so skillfully strives to empower. Atmospheric guitars, dreamlike synths and an emphasis on passionate bass lines keep you enthralled throughout the entire 47 minutes.
