In their music I finally found everything I was looking for in my black metal and since then I joined the cult of the boar. Their debut album "II: Chemognosis" was also... Continue Reading →
"It's not the fame that I'm after / I just need eternal flame" Last Friday I read about Tony Iommi's new album, "From the Dark", as it was its official release date. I had no idea it will be released, had no idea how it sounded, had no idea who played on it (besides Iommi,... Continue Reading →
"Human existence is merely an ephemeral curse. Soul, consciousness, flesh and bone are cosmically annihilated in the infinity of time".

On the 11th of March I attended on the A38 Ship in Budapest one of the most interesting live events ever organized by Goetia Productions and Planetnoir Industries. Lukas Häger (Reveal!, End All Parties ) opened the evening with his solo performance which left me in total owe. This man is a pure guitar wizard,... Continue Reading →
"To burn the veil, to learn to see" Almost a week ago I got in my inbox a strange email, which started something like "We are Boarhammer, a 2 piece black metal band". The more I read through the email, the more intrigued I became, so I quickly went to Boarhammer's Bandcamp page to check... Continue Reading →
19th of November AB is the day when Tyrannic's sophomore album, "Mortuus Decadence", sees the light of day. Released as a joint cooperation between Australia's Seance Records (CD version) and Germany's Iron Bonehead Productions (LP version), this album somehow walks on the same path as the band's previous materials, the debut LP "Ethereal Sepulchre" (2018)...
