Zørza – IEI (S/R)

All that came with this EP was the minimalist description “Poland Post Black”. The cd itself comes with lyrics, the last of which on the opening track “Death I” read: “The coldness pervades me for the one last time, your… Continue Reading →

Laang – Riluo (Talheim Records)

It’s not every day that we get a metal band from Taiwan for review. Laang (a Chinese word, meaning “cold” in English) have made it unto our review list via their Austrian label Talheim Records, and I volunteered to review… Continue Reading →

Laster – Andermans Mijne (Prophecy Productions)

Laster’s previous and third album “Het Wassen Oog” (2019) impressed me greatly. Black, atmospheric and experimental in a way that different styles were infused but all haunting, spooky and strong on deep psychological disturbance. The Dutch outfit are clearly a… Continue Reading →

Waldgeflüster – Unter Bronzenen Kronen (AOP Records)

German atmospheric black metallers Waldgeflüster have decided to release an EP that contains one new song, two covers and a re-recorded song from their early discography. I absolutely loved this bands last album ‘Dahoam’ released in 2021 which I reviewed… Continue Reading →

An Autumn For Crippled Children – Closure (Prosthetic Records)

Prosthetic Records? More like Prolific records when it comes to AAFCC. Since their inception in 2010 this mysterious Dutch trio have released 10 albums – the latest Closure coming out on 4th August 2023, 5 E.P.s and 2 compilations. Ridiculous rate of release (ooh the alliteration felt… Continue Reading →

Loather – Eis (Vendetta Records)

Loather sounds like it should be a sludge/doom/post hardcore kind of band but, apparently not. And furthermore it is stated they should not be reduced to mere genre tags either. Damn that’s every reviewer on the planet done for then…. Continue Reading →

Numeron – Road to Valhalla (Meuse Music / Tragedy Productions)

I don’t know so much about the Indonesian music scene but what I do know is that there are a vast number of bands, most of whom people don’t know about. Post and atmospheric black metal is Numeron’s chosen style…. Continue Reading →

Witte Wieven – Dwaalicht (Babylon Doom Cult)

From Tilburg in the Netherlands, Witte Wieven bring us their first album after almost 10 years of existence. The shadowy dark sounds point us to a deeper underworld on this black post metal work. So as you’d expect this work… Continue Reading →

I Miss You, C……. – Catalina (Tragedy Productions)

Well there’s an Island Catalina located in Magallanes, Chile and perhaps this is the place that David Cofré the man behind this oddly named project is missing. I could be completely on the wrong track and it might well be… Continue Reading →

Bizarrekult – Den Tapten Krigen (Season Of Mist)

Loners are nothing unusual in Black Metal and its various sub-genres, on the contrary. As a multi-instrumentalist, as someone who does everything on his own, Roman V., mastermind of Bizarrekult, doesn’t stand out. But there are one-man bands and one-man… Continue Reading →

Jours Pâles – Tensions (LADLO)

Finalising another fantastic year for French label Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions, this album made it through the snow and postal strikes just in time to ensure my days at the end of it are pale ones. Naturally it has… Continue Reading →

Woods of Desolation – The Falling Tide (Season of Mist)

It took me a while to write this review due to ever increasing work commitments, but that meant that I had time to fully appreciate and inwardly digest this majestic beauty as I revisited it, being smothered more each time… Continue Reading →
