I made my first audio contact with Spite after I listened to the promo I got for the release of their first full length, "Antimoshiach", which came out a couple of months ago on the Irish label Invictus Productions. I am usually quite reluctant when it comes to black metal made in USA (I hate... Continue Reading →
One of the best debut demo tapes released last year comes from Sweden, of course. Umea to be exact, the birth place of Malakhim, the new band in town when it comes to black metal. Released first in October 2017 on the band's Bandcamp page, Demo I gained immediately a "cult" status in the black... Continue Reading →
When you have been active for 20 years, you have released a bunch of classic black metal albums and you have experimented with different musical approaches, what would you do, in 2018, when you're about to release your 6th full length? That's right, you go back to your roots, with an even stronger will and... Continue Reading →
Hailing from Norway, Goatkraft delivers a completely different style of metal of death, not choosing to be a part of the so called traditional True Norwegian Black Metal cliché. Rather than walking the already wandered paths, they chose to honor Satan by taking even farther the primitive torch of barbaric and hateful black metal, just... Continue Reading →
6 years ago, the Hungarian entity called Svoid appeared from the mists of Null for the first time.

"Hunter of silence Awakened... Wary thine eye In the dark". Who would have thought that in 2017 Ulf Theodor Schwadorf will bring Sun of the Sleepless back from the dark slumber in which it fell in 2004 and will return with their first full length in 18 years of bizarre existence? I was more than... Continue Reading →

Osculum Infame makes no exception, since this band is one of the veterans of the French black metal scene, its roots going back to 1993, the... Continue Reading →
When I heard that this year el Camino will release their third full length after a four years absence I was very hyped because I really love this Swedish group and their cursed doom they’re playing. I liked a lot The Satanik Magick debut LP ( Hail the Horns is a real anthem), Smaland was... Continue Reading →
Many years ago, a Swedish band issued a bold statement that their music was the "audial essence of pure evil". This might have been correct 25 years ago, but now, in 2017, this statement is no longer true. One of the few bands which this sentence can apply to 100% is Sektarism and their sick...
