Tag Endstille

Endstille – DetoNation (Ván Records)

It’s been all quiet on the Endstille front for the past decade since the release of ‘Kapitulation’ back in 2013. They did actually capitulate and had an album all lined up in 2015 called ‘Finis Germaniae’ but apparently decided it… Continue Reading →

Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze (Osmose)

As with the recent album by Sarcoptes this one starts with a shrill blast of a whistle signifying troops going over the top of the trenches before descending into an absolute ‘swathe of fire.’ USBM duo Generalfeldmarschall Kriegshammer and Wachtmeister… Continue Reading →

Sisyphean – Colours of Faith (Transcending Obscurity)

This is the second album from this Lithuanian band, following “Illusions of Eternity” in 2017. They describe their black metal as “dissonant”. Well that’s one word for it. I was surprised to hear a dark industrial electronic beat to begin,… Continue Reading →

Schrat – Seelenfresser (Folter Records)

It’s a fine balance with Black metal between orthodoxy and occultism turning into Satanic schtick and what can only be described as clown-shoes when so called serious intentions turn into pantomime. I wouldn’t say German band Schrat who take their… Continue Reading →

Thronum Vrondur – Dies Tenebrosa Sicut Nox (Immortal Frost Productions)

Welcome to a day as dark as night but it is Belgian’s not Roman’s we are lending our ears to. With four albums to their name since 2005 this West Flanders trio were last referred to by us as “imperious… Continue Reading →

Streams of Blood – Erløsung (The Hidden Art)

The first thing I learnt about this, the fourth album by German black metallers Streams of Blood, was that all the hard copies of the CD had been stolen. I can relate entirely to the frustration of that after a… Continue Reading →

Dysangelium – Death Leading (W.T.C.)

Dysangelium have hacked themselves quite a reputation despite only having one long player – Thánatos Áskçsis if you need reminding – and a couple of demos before that. Perhaps proving that its worth bottling yourself up and waiting for the… Continue Reading →

Total Hate – Throne Behind a Black Veil (Eisenwald)

Powerful and authoritative from the opening chords, Total Hate set the precedent from the offset. The vocals on ‘Psychopath’ are dominant and potent and work together with Aer and Erebos on the guitars, with Serrator creating the formidable and controlling… Continue Reading →

Misanthropic Existence – Death Shall Be Served (Aesthetic Death)

I understand that this album is a re-release on the basis that the original had limited exposure, as is the way when bands on a limited budget can only do so much. Now released through the Aesthetic Death label and… Continue Reading →

Shroud of Satan – Of Evil Descent (Sol Records)

It’s been a good couple of years since ‘At the Behest of Time’, but Shroud of Satan’s orthodox manifesto remains the same. The German bands 2nd full-length album ‘Of Evil Descent’ proudly states… “Our cult and identity cannot be acquired…. Continue Reading →

Azziard – Metempsychose (Malpermesita Records)

Pulling this CD out of its wrapping I remembered the band name and that this deathly black troop from France had struck me as slightly bonkers on last album ‘Vesanie’ in 2014. At the time they had been in the… Continue Reading →

Minas Morgul – Kult (Trollzorn)

German black metal tends to conjure up the same common denominators in the form of Endstille, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Nargaroth and Black Messiah et al, but there is a new addition to add to this commonly perceived saturated genre, and… Continue Reading →
