Today, we present to you a fantastic new single debut from Australia. A one-person project, Her Eyes Haunt Me, that plays post-black metal with a very. however. blackgaze flavour, and brings the song As Your Eyes Close Over. The track is not particularly long, but it really provides a lot of thrills. It’s very atmospheric, […]

Review: Imagine A Boot – Imagine A Boot (EP, 2024) | Raw black metal
“Imagine A Boot“? Well… let us picture it then. Leather, or some other heavy material, in the format of a foot, with a foot inside. A boot, right? Seems simple enough. But let us go the extra mile and finish the quote from which today’s featured artist, a lone anonymous Dutch partisan, clearly took this […]

Review: Psychic Hood – Warp Ritual (Full album, 2024) | Dungeon synth
Today we’re excited to bring you a wonderful dungeon synth project, Psychic Hood, and their brand new album, Warp Ritual!

However, the moment the play is pressed Psychic Hood takes you there and you’re immediately […]
Review: Τέλμα/Telma – Ανθρωποβόρος (full length, 2024) | Doom Metal
When it comes to debut albums that come out smashing seemingly out of nowhere, you won’t easily find a stronger one in recent years than Telma‘s Ανθρωποβόρος. The Greek band has been slowly forging their album since 2017, when their track Ξίφη Στραμμένα στο Φοίνικα appeared in the Art Against Censorship compilation, definitely turning some […]
Review: VENUS-426 – Destruction is Your Religion (EP, 2024) | Noise
Whew, that was fast. And Loud. Our frequent guest Venus 426 decided to kick things up a notch for this release, or maybe sideways, by putting her usual atmospheric soundtrack-y noise on hold in favour of some furious grind noise. There is no better feeling for us here in the ABMN secret volcano base than […]

A mix of blackened hardcore, d-beat, and synth coming straight from a dungeon synth album, distorted screams, what do you say? With three instrumental tracks, synths for […]
