Tag Nachtmystium

Berator – Elysian Inferno (Dark Descent)

Well this is a little charmer of an EP out of Chicago. A nice, gnarly build up on ‘Sultans Of Incest’ before the rabid dogs are unleashed in an avalanche of old school filthy death metal with all the subtlety… Continue Reading →

Rübezahl – Remnants of Grief and Glory (Deviant Records)

Nine tracks of Alaskan black metal sounds harsh in every way, and this is what Rübezahl bring us here. This is their full album release but they did put out an EP “Tempering of Northern Iron” in 2019. It all… Continue Reading →

Lord Mantis – Universal Death Church (Profound Lore)

Everything in Metal has been done, and with the rise of online streaming services and the ability to distribute music for free via downloads etc the internet has become a haven for the weird. Often times I will find myself… Continue Reading →

Chrome Waves – A Grief Observed (AvantGarde Music)

All too often we approach new music with preconceived ideas either from previous encounters with a band, media hype or a press release. However, on this occasion I listened to Chrome Waves with absolutely no knowledge of the band and… Continue Reading →

Nachtmystium – Resilient (Prophecy)

It’s been a long and fucked up ride for U.S. black metal experimentalists Nachtmystium… A band whose “Black Meddle” has won critical acclaim, but whose leader has courted controversy and divided opinion. But no matter on how you feel about… Continue Reading →

Kommandant – Blood Eel (ATMF)

The raging gas masked war-machine from Chicago are back. I have been faithfully following musical orders from Kommandant since they sent in their 2010 EP Kontakt, a couple of albums have followed and the band have collaborated on a host… Continue Reading →

Wolvhammer – The Monuments of Ash and Bone (Blood Music)

So, my first time out listening to Wolvhammer, though a cursory mooch about on the internet tells me that they’re well established in the US, boasting members or ex-members of acts such as Abigail Williams, Skeletonwitch, Nachtmystium and Krieg. This… Continue Reading →

Hail Spirit Noir – Mayhem In Blue (Dark Essence Records)

I was first introduced to this Greek band via their second album titled “Oi Magoi” and was struck immediately by their uniqueness and their completely off the wall style. So, buckle up as we head down the proverbial rabbit hole… Continue Reading →

Underling – Breathe Deeply / Bloodworship (Neuropa Records)

Californian atmospheric black metal band Underling have recently signed to Neuropa records, giving us a chance to catch up with two great releases, 2013’s ‘Breathe Deeply’ and 2015’s ‘Bloodworship’, both re-issued in glorious digipack form. Playing with a potent mix… Continue Reading →

Shroud of Satan – At the Behest of Time (Sol Records)

Quite a statement of intent on this, Shroud of Satan’s debut full-length album. The German band’s inlay proudly proclaims the following… “Shroud of Satan considers Black Metal as a cult to be preserved and honoured. We refuse to accept any… Continue Reading →

Mortichnia – Heir To Scoria And Ash (Apocalyptic Witchcraft)

Mortichnia, or ‘death march’ is the chilling term given to the last steps of a creature before it meets its maker (unless, and let’s be honest about this, unless its maker is merely a random and unlikely series of chemical… Continue Reading →

The Lion’s Daughter – Existence Is Horror (Season Of Mist)

This poor little cub has been left on our reviews list all alone for some time, unloved with no interest and I felt sorry for it. A few days before release into the wild record shops I thought I best… Continue Reading →
