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.

SVOID – Ars Kha review – October 2017 AB
6 years ago, the Hungarian entity called Svoid appeared from the mists of Null for the first time. Its sharp toothed mouth gnawed slowly on the pillars of knowledge and death, releasing from the hungry void 5 darkened hymns. Ars Kha was unleashed as an independent release hence its limited availability on the market. Those... Continue Reading →
Horde – Hellig Usvart album review – September 2017 AB
Common knowledge implies that by definition, black metal must be anti christian, blasphemic, anti life, anti humanity etc. That's why, starting from the very beginning with Venom and Bathory, even if not serious at all, the lyrical approach, the visuals and the music were Satanic enough to scare the shit out of the humble church...

I was more than... Continue Reading →

Sektarism – La Mort de L’Infidèle album review June 2017 AB
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...

Pagan Megalith – Viharjárás – Neverheard Distro 2016 AB
As I already mentioned it in the previous Pagan Megalith review, before recording the second album in 2010, the band decided to sleep the sleep of death for an unlimited period of time. In 2016 they awakened from their silent slumber and their long awaited album "Viharjárás" (Stormburst) was finally released. In February 2017 Neverheard... Continue Reading →
