Italian based act Aborym have always been an intriguing band and with their first few albums explored a terrain that mixed black metal with harsh industrial and electronic tones in a way that was not too dissimilar to artists such… Continue Reading →
This album is “a lyrical concept called ‘Mörkrets Kärna’: an album-trilogy about falling down a pit of your darkest being, losing yourself completely and desperately trying to make sense of it”. Moloken come from the same place geographically, and in… Continue Reading →
This seven track ep is the debut release from The Arisen who hail from France. If I were to pin down a single word to describe “Rising Times”, based on my first listen, it would be “difficult”. That can be… Continue Reading →

I’m always up for a bit of avant-garde black metal, and this band seems to fit the bill nicely. I’ve not heard Way to End’s previous album “Desecrated Internal Journey” (2009) but reading reviews of it and listening to “Various… Continue Reading →
