A few weeks ago we introduced you all to a debuting project bringing a high-quality mix of extreme and punk-related genres, the US-based duo Wretched Blessing and its first EP. Well, we have them back today with an official video for the sludge-driven song – extracted from this very release – “Anathematic”! Devised, created and […]

Review: Qlaglaga – Fetidized (Full album, 2024) | Blackend cybergrind
Folks, it’s been a very long time since we’ve had something utterly strange, fucked up and weird, but today this streak ends, thankfully. We are excited to premiere for you today, Qlaglaga, which means nothing, and their new EP, Fetidized. Fetidized is a strange cacophony blend of blackened chiptune goodness. Starting with what feels like […]
Review: The end of… – Wistful Longing and Deranged Emptiness (Full EP, 2024) | DSBM
Hailing from Kelowna in British Columbia and making for a proper eve to a Gloomy Sunday of a kind, there’s today the demo released this year back in April by The End Of… (currently Arsgoetia) and remastered in June, which in a brief duration of 23 mins offered an interesting take on the ‘classic’ sound of […]
Review: Astral Lore – Astral Lore (Full album, 2024) | Black metal
3 songs, 50 minutes, on a full album, is maybe all you need to know about Astral Lore‘s new self-titled release. You can expect it from here, we publish black metal, it’s very long songs, hence it’s an excellent atmospheric black metal album. While it’s their first full-length album, Astral Lore already has some solid […]
Review: Hexen House – Retributiones Maleficarum Mallei (Full album, 2024) | Black metal, death metal
Seeing Hexen House‘s photo which includes corpsepaint, candelabras, iron vambraces and so on you might be tempted to think it’s another band with a very traditional take on black metal and politics, but quickly you are confronted with messages that convey “total fucking war on impotent fascist scum” and “torch the values of western civilization“. […]
Review: Ivory Primarch – The Portrait (Full album, 2024) | Doom metal
Today we bring you back Ivory Primarch but this time with their full album, The Portrait, which is due out this Friday. The Portrait starts off with a hint of electronic-ness that morphs into a strange brew of blackened death doom metal. And yes, that was quite a word salad but there seems to be […]
Review: greyfleshtethered – Primordial Decay (Full album, 2024) | Electronic black metal
This album is interesting for at least 3 reasons. The first one is, of course, the music, and that is electronic black metal with an atmospheric character, including elements of trip-hop, and drone, as well as ambient, noise and dungeon synth. It is more or less a complete picture. More or less because you have […]
Review: Desert Heretic – Infernalis (Full album, 2024) | Black metal
Desert Heretic has returned! We had the honour of releasing this project’s first EP in early 2022. Now they are back with their first full-length, Infernalis“, with even more of what we loved in their first release – that is, very violent and serious black metal with a lot of melodies, traces of thrash metal […]
Review: Vanessa Funke – Void (Full album, 2024) | Progressive, rock/metal
We are proud to present to you today the last album in a long list of works well done by the prolific German mostly-solo multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa Funke. Since its inception, her solo project quickly started to shape into a melancholic effective mix of styles where you could see her development crystal clear, even in collabs […]
Review: Lammoth – Tales of Treachery (Full album, 2024) | Medieval black metal
We don’t know about you, but “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH” was the first thought some of us at ABMN had when we received the submission for today’s band, North Carolina’s Lammoth, which, in their own words, play “hobbit black metal”; after all, incorrigible nerds that we are, we have known that Lammoth is a region of Tolkien’s Middle-Earth […]
