Lifvsleda – Manifest MMXIX EP review – July 2020 AB
I received the promo for this material some time ago but after listening to it a couple of times I decided to let it aside a bit. Recently I have picked it up again and gave it a thorough and proper listen. For those who do not know, this EP (or demo?) has been released... Continue Reading →
Armagedda – Svindeldjup Ättestup album review – July 2020 AB
16 years have passed since the release of one the most underrated and beautiful black metal albums. I am talking of course about Armagedda’s third full length, “Ond Spiritism”, an album that, among others, represents the true essence of what I call black metal. That record was the last Armagedda ever released and soon after the... Continue Reading →
Funeral Mist – Hekatomb album review – NoEvDia – June 2018 AB
"And all that is Holy, Holy shall be". He who listeneth to black metal should have heareth about Funeral Mist. At least once in his life time. After the MCD Devilry (1998) and 2 albums, Salvation (2003) and Maranatha (2009), the infamous Swedish black metal band is back (from the dead) with a spiteful vengeance.... Continue Reading →
Spite – Antimoshiach cd review – April 2018 AB
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 →
A Thousand Burning Worlds – An interview with Malakhim – March 2018 AB
From Sweden comes a new band, called Malakhim, Satan's messenger. In 2017 they released Demo I, a fantastic demo tape containing 3 songs of wicked black metal (review can be found here), so I was curious to find out more about what's behind this band. E (vocals) was kind enough to answer my questions. Enjoy!... Continue Reading →
Malakhim – Demo I review March 2018 AB
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 →
Watain – Trident Wolf Eclipse album review January 2018 AB
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 →
GOATKRAFT – ANGEL SLAUGHTER REVIEW – IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS 2018 AB
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 →
Osculum Infame – “Axis of Blood” review June 2017 AB
France has always been a serious provider of good quality extreme metal bands and during the years more and more bands formed to spread the gospel of the lord. 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 →
