Review: Shades Of Extinction – Demo II (Full demo, 2024) | Raw black metal
A few months after their first demo that we already reviewed, Shades of Extinction is back with a second demo, soberly called Demo II.

Review: ‘Austerity – Despondency – Longing’ by Botgörelsen / Wrekan / Astral Lore (Full split, 2024) | BM
ABMN has always cherished split and collaborative albums for the many reasons expressed before: collective work, and uniting different genres, cultures, and points of view… And it’s one lazy click into discovering /re-visiting more than one band!

Review: TerraMorta – Intifada (Full album, 2024) | Grindcore
Intifada is a grindcore album with a black metal twist.

Review: Human Abyss – Death Obsessed (Full album, 2024) | Blackened death
Today we have a lot to cut through with the most recent addition to the channel: Berlin-based Human Abyss, and its newest album Death Obsessed.

Review: End – III (Full album, 2009) | Black metal
Today we have an old but historical black metal album to present to you, End‘s third and last full-length album from 2009.

Today it feels like we have a treat for those of you who enjoy the more death metal-influenced side of black metal that we tend to get. And by treat and death metal we mean, this shit is so fucking on the nose for bestial black metal that it’s shocking that it isn’t a tag […]

Review: ‘Stigmergy’ by There Is No Light Here & Tachanka (Full split, 2024) | Raw black metal
With a hammering tone of angst and wrath in a 4-track split, two of the most promising emerging projects in the antifascist scenes around the world join forces in a conceptual work bringing us Stigmergy, a blend of styles and topics from the two sides involved highlighting a convergence into a socio-political dive to a […]
Review: Sudra by Iravu & Mumuksu (Full split album, 2024) | Black metal, doom metal
It is no mistake that here in ABMN we hold Malaysia’s Iravu in very high esteem, both as an artist and as a comrade, so of course we were excited to premiere their new release, and that excitement was doubled when those of us also into the doom side of things heard that this was […]
