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 […]

Her Eyes Haunt Me – “As your eyes close over” (Single, 2024) | Blackgaze

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: Swampworm – Architeuthis (Full EP, 2024) | Dissonant blackened grind

Previously presented to you all with its debut EP, Nahab (which is also one side of a split with Marigold King) as well as through the alternate project Pari’sya, we now welcome back the Germany-based solo outfit Swampworm with a brand new album, Architeuthis, that is out today. For those unfamiliar with Swampworm, its core […]

Review: Aurora Ortus – Drought (Official vídeo, 2024) | Post-black metal

It has been almost two years since we were introduced to Aurora Ortus through their 2022 album Ostrara, showcasing an obscure and heartfelt post-black metal, altered with doom and blackgaze inspired. Today, we are happy to have them back with the premiere of a brand new song in the form of an official video, “Drought“, the first single of an […]

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! Surface level this appears to be anything but dungeon synth considering most of the tropes popular dungeon synth groups do. However, the moment the play is pressed Psychic Hood takes you there and you’re immediately […]

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 […]
