Album Reviews

Symphonic black metal act Vesperian Sorrow is one of the fewer ones that doesn’t sound like any other U.S. black metal band. Their fifth studio album ‘Awaken the Greylight’ presents their modern symphonic clichés. Out on Black Lion Records.

Finnish black metal quartet Ondfødt has refined its craft on the fourth album “Det Österbottniska Mörkre”. The songs are packed full of tremolos and blistering tempos, showcasing an outstanding songwriting talent from these Finns. Set for release via Black Lion Records on May 26th.

Not unfitting for funeral doom, the debut EP from Dutch duo Angmodnes, ‘The Weight of Eternity’ has been 9 years in the making. Full of majestic, morose melancholy, the album was released on Black Lion Records on September 30.

‘The Great Below’ provides real thrills, bringing off the passion of intersecting different genres with exuberant riffs and technical prowess. Like a burning furnace the songs are molded by an aggressive form of modern black metal that blends catchy choruses, melodies, and energetic tempos.

Wormlight illustrates a sense of aptitude where they exploit the faculty of the formula. “Nightmother” is a concept album that establishes a high intent from these Swedish musicians.

“Sermon of Apathy” is a very intense album but less extreme when compared to other modern death metal bands. Perhaps the lack of the album production is the only flaw of the album, otherwise, there’s nothing to complain here.

Re-Armed’s long awaited fourth album ‘Ignis Aeternum’ is here. Full of top melodic death metal tracks from Finland.

Defiatory’s second album contains heavy, thrashy riffs and puts Sweden on the map of thrash metal!

Listen to “Stardust” and drift away in the Soul Dissolution’s atmospheric sound
