I came upon Hamvak some time ago when I blindly purchased their S/T demo tape, released in 2017. I did't know too much about the band at that time, but I later found out that the main guy behind this project is D, an active musician playing in several Hungarian underground bands (Earth Plague, Ghoul...

As I draw the line, I think 2024 has been a good year for me and the music I discovered and listened to. My only problem is that I don't have enough time to listen to all the music I want and that, truth be told, there are a lot of bands out there. It's... Continue Reading →
Last night Budapest's Kék Yuk Klub hosted a very interesting black metal event, with 3 different bands from the genre. 2 were locals, DVVAD and Lidérc, and one was a guest, currently on tour, the rather infamous war black metal machine known as Diocletian. The show was organized by the maniacs from Insane Hellride Entertainment,... Continue Reading →
Last weekend (22nd-23rd of March), the 11th edition of the infamous Inner Awakening Festival was held in the Kék Yuk Klub in Budapest. One of the reasons which made this edition so special was that after 15 years of hard work and tribulations, the festival has come to an end, but not before celebrating one... Continue Reading →

When it comes to music, I can honestly say that at least for me, 2022 has been quite a good year. While suffering from a slight form of nostalgia, throughout this year I focused my listening habits mainly on old school bands, like stuff I grew up with or listened a lot during my youth/teenage...

3 years after the release of the excellent “Winds of Misery” demo tape that we have covered here, the Hungarian quartet Mistcavern is back with the long-awaited EP entitled “Into Twilight”. The new material will be released on Good Friday, April the 15th by Iron Bonehead Productions, as a celebration of all things dark and... Continue Reading →
Lidérc is a band which dwells in the dark corners of the Hungarian underground. It's been hiding there until recently, when it has reared its ugly head from the shadows, with the release of their S/T debut material. Towards the end of August, the same promo came out as a self released tape, limited to... Continue Reading →
Vorkuta is one of the oldest Hungarian BM acts, whose activity spans over more than 2 decades. In spite of its long time activity, the band has been more keen to release split EPs rather than to record full lengths, therefore "Into the Chasms of Lunacy" (2007) has been so far the only album in...
