We are in the midst of some sort of renaissance in the black metal sphere, we get caught up with those that continue the old ways or even the iconoclasts that reject them in favour of doing something different and reject the status quo/ trve kvlt. So while we are here we get the small […]

Review: Eyes Of Simurgh – Legendas Ruraus (Full album, 2024) | Sludge, stoner
Although ABMN has already been around for three years where we have received tons of submissions, and done a lot of research to find RABM/antifascist-related bands within black metal and outside of it, we keep discovering more and more bands that aren’t new and have already been around for a while. Some have been speaking […]
Review: Masochrist – Grimecode: DCLXVI (Full album, 2023) | Melodic death grind
Masochrist is what you expect from melodic death grind: the music you need to get up and go to work, the music that keeps your heart beating, the music that will scare your parents, your colleagues, or any right-minded person. With 18 songs for almost 17 minutes, this album keeps a very high standard of […]
Wandering Oak – Resilience (Full album, 2024) | Progressive, folk
Sometimes as a fan of metal, we may find ourselves in an indecisive mood about the kind of metal we want to listen to. Should we throw on some folk metal? Maybe some classic heavy metal? Nah, maybe some black metal? The indecisiveness can be incredibly frustrating. Well, if you’re in that kind of mood, […]
Jute Gyte – Krun Macula’ (Full album, 2023) | Ambient
So, when you have a band known for their unique take on black metal like Jute Gyte, with their legendary microtonal progressive output, why would you choose their rare ambient release to feature? Well, why not, after all their black metal releases are already acknowledged as genre classics, plus, it’s named after an equatorial dark […]
Review: Fatal – Unburned (Full album, 2024) | Black metal, DSBM
Missing a bit of angst and bitterness this Sunday? Worry not, we got you covered. From doomy passages to frantic blast beats, Unburned can be your companion today offering a prime expression of fiery rage with an excellent addition of melancholy, hopelessness and sharply well-written lyrics against the duality of religion and its rule, alongside […]
Review: Nocthun – Rest In Flames (Full album , 2024) | Black metal
Nocthun self-describes as apocalyptic antifascist metal and it pretty much sets the mood for Rest in Flames, their new album. This 48-minute album starts slowly with a first track starting with spoken text and low-volume instruments before being quickly overflowed by raging guitars and drums, in a mix of death metal guitar riffs, and blast […]
Review: Convulsing – Perdurance (Full album, 2024) | Prog death metal
There are a lot of bands and musicians in the style of dissonant, technical or avant-garde death/black metal that can create interesting and original textures, but not many that can powerfully grab your attention and create an everlasting impression like Australia’s one man death metal powerhouse Convulsing. Having already delivered two acclaimed albums in 2016′ […]

Releasing on March 29 after a full-length and two EPs last year, the Swedish one-man project Mordran returns with another piece we have the pleasure to premiere today. With a cold and raw ambience fitting for the season it was conceived in, The Midnight Woods promises us to be the embrace for a long night to […]
