Review: Mourn The Stars – Saudade… (Full album, 2024) | Melodic black metal
In Portuguese, saudade represents an emotional feeling mixing melancholy, nostalgia and hope. It’s the feeling of a strong longing for something or someone that is loved but also absent. By this title, the US-based band Mourn The Stars gives a taste of their first album Saudade…. If you’ve been following for some time now, you […]
הרשימה השחורה | The Black List | القائمة السوداء (Compilation, 2024)
Of COURSE, we’d do a post on October 7th about the colonialist war Israel is leading in the Middle East against the Palestinians, the Lebanese, and basically everyone who’s not white and fascist, what did you expect? We’re ANTIFASCIST, being anti-Zionist is part of that for anyone who’s serious – and that’s really just a […]
Review: Mater Infecta – Di estetica, epifanie e tormenti (EP, 2024) | Black/death
It is with our greatest pleasure to present to you, dear listener (or hate-stalker), what is without a doubt another incredibly mindblowing release this year has to offer. Mater Infecta, the three-piece band coming from Italy, will most probably hook their sharp claws on you if you’re down for a proper black/death blend, with so […]
Review; Mordran – One-and-Ninety Years of Darkness (EP, 2024) | Black metal
At this point, Sweden’s Mordran is probably already quite well-known for anyone who follows our channel, this being something like the 5th time they have been featured (it helps that they’re very productive). Their new EP, One-and-Ninety Years of Darkness, continues to explore atmosphere and ambience through black metal, this time with some added dungeon […]
Review: Genital Shame – As Good as a Kiss (EP, 2024) | Avant-garde, experimental
We’re very happy to feature Genital Shame, Erin Dawson‘s one transwoman powerhouse for the second time in ABMN, after the full-length album Chronic Illness Wish at the beginning of 2024 which caught up our attention and introduced her experimental and very unique take on black metal to a wider audience. Erin obviously doesn’t like resting on her laurels […]
Review: Gun Girl – Vengeant Siege of Unholy Divinity (Full album, 2024) | Bestial black metal
Y’all we are struggling on how to open this up. Why are we stating that? Well mostly because musical genius, Eleanor Harper, has created something so raw, so bombastic, so fucking pissed the fuck off, that it’s rather hard to figure out how to open up about her latest project, Gun Girl. How does one […]
Review: Förfallet – VE (Full album, 2024) | Post-black, DSBM
From Stockholm, we bring today a bit of sharp and cold tunes to alleviate this still-starting week. Förfallet (“-the- decay”), a post-black ensemble that presented their self-titled, self-released debut back in 2020, offers us some company with their latest work to date, named Ve, that will soon see a vinyl release and given the craftmanship […]
Review: Obsidian Blade – Zerfal (Full EP, 2024) | Blackened sludge
Obsidian Blade comes from Augsburg, Germany, and they seem to be one of those bands that have the rare gift of genre-bending without really a lot of effort. It just goes right for the jugular with an old-school frozen black metal riff and then somehow it morphs into some raw 90s doom/death complete with stenchy […]
