I remember how excited I was when I first heard Leviathan's "Far Beyond the Light" CD in 2002. Back in the day this record was one of those true underground gems which I appreciated a lot. Even today, after so many years, when I go back to that album, I am still amazed how good... Continue Reading →
"There will always be a road of eternal struggles and famine ahead." Until recently, Tusenårseken (or Thousand Year Oak in English), was a name completely unknown to me. This is actually a very new one man band hailing from...Sweden, of course. The simple fact that all the articles posted lately on this page involve Swedish bands... Continue Reading →
Änterbila is a band (a duo, in fact) hailing from Sweden (what a surprise, right??). Earlier this year they released their first demo material simply called Demo 2020, which has been recently transferred to a physical format - tape, to be more precise - by the Swedish label Void In The Vast Empire. To start with,... Continue Reading →

I honestly do not know what's going on in Sweden, but it seems there's an ever-flowing stream of talented individuals who create the perfect type of aggressive... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Last Thursday, a very interesting black metal package came to town, under the moniker Antichrist Pantocrator European Tour 2019. The 3 bands on the bill - Hellgoat and Manticore from the US and Kill from Sweden - joined forces and decided to haunt the already haunted central/eastern parts of Europe. Finally being able to see... Continue Reading →

As their previous material, the album will be once again... Continue Reading →
