Band info Band: Bibex Necrobex Album: Quantum Echoes Released: October 9, 2024 Genre: black metal Location: Canada Review We don’t know about you, but whenever we at ABMN see or hear the words “eat the rich”, we get a big smile on our faces and a whole lot of curiosity about those behind them.

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: yell. – Ostatnia Godzina (Full album, 2024) | Dark punk
Black metal is often the music of nature where the artists come from. In the case of yell, it’s eastern Poland, whose forests are getting smaller every year. In the album Last Hour from this year, the theme of forests will recur quite often, but it will not be an idyllic fairy tale, but full of […]
Review: Caged Bastard – ‘Solace in Virtue’s Absence’ (Full album, 2024) | Experimental
Today’s upload, the second album by Caged Bastard, is a treat for us in more ways than one – and it’s an impressively difficult work to describe, so we’ll make an effort to be straightforward in this review. First, we love it because it’s musically a smorgasbord (or whatever the fuck you write that) of […]
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: Sunrot – The Unfailing Rope (Full album, 2023) | Sludge, post-metal
It’s ironic that we are featuring a band called Sunrot today, as most of us, at least those in the northern hemisphere, are in between heatwaves that make us feel like rotting inside, and it’s fitting that the band sounds like hot sand stripping your skin. Loud and abrasive sludge in the camp of Thou and […]
Review: ‘Yeast Veils’ by Mycorrhizal / Stygian (Full split, 2024) | Experimental BM, sludge
A few days ago, the D.I.Y label Liminal Dread Production came out with the awesome split that we are presenting to you today. The release we are talking about is Yeast Veils, which consists of two projects – Mycorrhizal and Stygian. These are both original projects, so naturally their combined album is one of those […]

The first single of their new album The Portrait is “Excruciation“, a 9′ long title, built in 5 different stages, going from regular doom to funeral doom, gaining in intensity at every new stage.
