Intifada is a grindcore album with a black metal twist. Released a few weeks ago by the newly created band Terra Morta, this album is a very short but intense album, as you could expect from a grindcore band. Mixing crust punk, grindcore and some black metal rhythms, this album will match your needs of […]

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. Although this quintet only goes back to 2020, it is almost entirely formed by experienced musicians who have played in bands like Spawn (death metal) or currently active No On […]
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. While the Greek band isn’t as famous as some of their contemporaries (also as a result of never playing live) they were quite influential around the early 00s for offering an alternative to […]
Review: Demon Sluice – Demo MMXXIV (Full demo, 2024) | Black metal, death metal
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: Purgatorial – “Doomed To Repeat” (Single PREMIERE, 2024) | Blackened death metal
Again we are premiering a new song by Purgatorial, just what the doctor ordered to keep us on the hook until we wait for an album to come, you fucking tease! We jest, of course, take your time, as long as the album keeps the quality of this song you’ll have no complaints from us, […]
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 […]
Review: Code Red – “Death March” (Single, 2024) | Thrash metal
Code Red is a project of a young artist playing thrash/blackened thrash. You can definitely feel the grave of the 1980s here when it comes to either thrash or black metal elements. The band can be classified as politically engaged, the artist has anti-imperialist, anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist views, which are reflected in the lyrics. And […]
Review: Veriarmo – Kuiske (Full album, 2024) | Symphonic metal
Living in 2024 we seem to be blurring rigid lines between various sub-genres of metal. Sure one could argue that it’s always been there and an ever-ongoing thing but people in the past have been careful in how they blur the lines and in today’s atmosphere it’s easier for a smaller band/ artist to gain […]
Review: Traktat – “Subdue the Filthy Pride of History” (Video clip, 2024) | Black metal
The full album of the Bremen-based project Traktat will come out in October, and it’s definitely something worth noting. The band has released a stunning rehearsal demo, and now we present the video from their new single “Subdue The Filthy Pride of History.” Musically, it’s great black metal with mostly blasting but sometimes more laid-back […]
