Miasmes – Vermines (LADLO)

This is a debut EP from Miasmes who promise a bit of raw and dirty old school black metal. The fact that the lyrics are in French is immaterial as it’s a language that lends itself to black metal, not… Continue Reading →

Aosoth – V: The Inside Scriptures (Agonia)

Has it really been four years since the last Aosoth full-length (IV: Arrow In Heart)? Man, time flies. It seems like only the other day that that record landed and further cemented Aosoth’s position as being one of the more… Continue Reading →

Merrimack – Omegaphilia (Season Of Mist)

I bought this French bands 2012 release “The Acausal Mass” on a whim and was very pleased that my gamble paid off as it was a fine display of vehement black metal done in a way that only the French… Continue Reading →

Glorior Belli – Sundown: The Flock That Welcomes (Agonia)

Glorior Belli has it all – the cool name, the knack for great imagery and a few cracking albums under its belt. Add to that a potentially intoxicating obsession with Bayou blues, slide guitar and black metal, and it’s a… Continue Reading →

Black metal has a cold, pernicious heart and, if my blood soaked ears and ruptured brain cells are anything to go by, I may just have strayed too close to its beating core. Imagine Aosoth on speed – three of… Continue Reading →

Mefitic – Woes Of Mortal Devotion (Nuclear War Now)

These foul and noxious Italians formed with the principal intent to spread the horrid feelings connected to Death. It may have taken them a decade to hone their craft and release this their debut album following numerous demos, EP’s and… Continue Reading →

Aosoth – IV – Arrow in Heart (Agonia)

My last encounter with Aosoth was their uncompromising debut LP released about 4 or 5 years ago. Though it was a competent, snarling slice of black metal I still recall coming away slightly underwhelmed – perhaps more to do with… Continue Reading →

Vorkreist – Sigil Whore Christ (Agonia)

For me, with this album, Vorkreist have completely lost it. With ‘it’ I mean the vibe of it all, what made them stand-out, what made them interesting. The black metal aggression has been replaced with a polished modern death metal… Continue Reading →
