Review: Through Mists – Prolific (Full EP, 2024) | Blackened death
Today’s album is Through Mist last release: ‘Prolific‘. Which, in their own words, bring a new breeze to their discography. Counting 4 songs for 27’28”, this album could be defined as an experimental blackened death metal album, which builds up intensity from the first and shortest track “The Ride” to the last and longest track “Prolific“, […]
Review: Ba’al – Soft Eyes (Full EP, 2024) | Post-black metal
Ba’al did it again. After their album Ellipsism in 2020, they are back with an EP called Soft Eyes, with a total of 3 songs for 27 minutes and 3 seconds of complex yet stunning post-black metal. The diversity of tonalities, and the variety in the composition, from very intense phases in “Ornamental Doll” to only […]
Review: inattentive apprentice – Why must wizardry be so complicated? (Full EP, 2024) | Dungeon gaze
Today we present a little synth project called inattentive apprentice and the name couldn’t be more matching.

Review: Morvigor – De spiegel (Full EP, 2024) | Black Metal
For all of its colonial crimes and its important role in imperialist politics nowadays, it’s a fact that the Netherlands have been for a long time one of the places where the arts have been the most developed in capitalism. This might be most obvious in the visual arts, with such unavoidables as Rembrandt, Hieronymous […]
Review: Mycorrhizal – Blessed Be the Match (Full album, 2024) | Experimental
Today is a day of resistance and struggle for the Antifascist Black Metal Network. Well, every day is one in truth, really, but today has the special symbolism of being March 8th, the International Day of the Struggle of Women Workers, a day that celebrates the February Russian Revolution of 1917 where women-led textile strike […]
