Band info Band: Dvster Album: Hexenwerk Released: August 21st, 2024. Genre: back punk, dungeon synth. Location: Germany. Review Today we present you a charming little discovery from this wonderful cabinet of oddities that is independent black metal.

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 […]
Review: Act The Fool – Nebel (EP, 2024) | Hardcore

Today we are excited to give you Germany’s own Act The Fool and their recent EP, Nebel. Act The Fool comes right out of the gate with fist-pumping hardcore punk on […]
Review: Swampworm – Architeuthis (Full EP, 2024) | Dissonant blackened grind

For those unfamiliar with Swampworm, its core […]
Review: Grendel’s Sÿster – Katabasis into the Abaton / Abstieg in die Traumkammer (Full album, 2023) | Epic metal
The long-awaited debut full-length album from Grendel’s Sÿster is finally here and we’re beyond proud to present it to you. After two fantastic EPs that build up anticipation in the epic heavy metal scene, the three-member band from Stuttgart reminded us to “love metal and hate fascism” (a statement that needs to be heard strongly […]
Review: Mainländer – The Fall That Will Come (Demo, 2024) | Black metal
Demos always tend to be smiled at. They are the everlasting joke of black metal’s so often gatekept “true” form. So raw, so direct, so instant that the record can’t even be finished. Just an unprocessed mess that sounds like recorded by a microphone covered by a can standing in the room next door. But this […]
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: 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: 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 […]
