We welcome the return of Gonemage in ABMN, the project of the hardest-working-person-in-the-metal-scene Garry Brents, who has graced us with numerous releases (also with Cara Neir, Homeskin and other names, really too many to mention) in the last years while retaining a high level of quality in everything he does and also at the same […]
Purgatorial – Harvesting Nightmares (Single, 2023) | Blackened death metal
Today, Purgatorial presented their song “Harvesting Nightmares“. Described by the band as “an unsettling track about not knowing when your time to pass will come“, the song keeps a crushing atmosphere throughout that lives up to its title. The wonderfully existential lyrics add to the piece as we are reminded of our mortality, and the […]
Review: Sun Of Nothing – Maze (Full album, 2024) | Post-black metal, sludge
Sun Of Nothing are not just another band, they are a phenomenon. They were the linchpin that turned the tide of the Greek heavy music scene in an era it was entrenched in traditionalism and finally dragged it into an era where “sludge”, “hardcore” and “experimental” were not dirty words to be ashamed of. And […]
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 […]
Review: Crevasse – Orphans (Full EP, 2024) | Black metal

Its only member, Noah Hawkins, ensures with this latest work under this artistic name (being active for 2 years now with three […]
When we say Never Again we mean Never Again for EVERYONE and by ANYONE
When ABMN first attempted to gather money for a good cause we were overwhelmed by your response and then realised some money was left over and then gave it again to a different good cause. Still, you somehow didn’t seem to stop donating even after we closed off the benefits so we somehow ended up […]
A word from an anti-zionist Israeli
We at ABMN have opinions on the Palestinian issue and the ongoing struggle. Seems like everybody has opinions, both educated and stupid, racist and intersectional, all kinds. What is lacking is not opinions, is listening to our comrades directly affected, the people on the ground, who seem to be constantly in a state of being […]

Legitimate violence and revolutionary support (France)
In Nanterre (a popular suburb of Paris) a 17-year-old has been shot at point blank by police officers after being hit multiple times behind the wheel of his car during a police stop. The police tried to create a story where he tried to run them over with his car but a video proved wrong […]
One of the greatest murders exercised by the hands of a state in recent memory
