Album Reviews

The debut full-length album of Secrets, “Towards the Nightside”, captures the Norwegian black metal majesty in an unforgettable performance, the album comes highly recommended for fans of Emperor, Odium, and Limbonic Art. It is a fantastic album finely crafted by members of Gardsghastr, Chaos Moon and Ars Hmu, and offers a masterpiece of symphonic black metal, out now on Amor Fati Productions since January 23rd.

‘Snare of All Salvation’ is full of mesmerizing moments of ghastly screeches and fast tempos.

Nordarikets strid is a masterpiece of an album that defines the art of symphonic black metal.

Vaeok’s self-titled E.P. offers a haunting experience akin to a horror movie soundtrack.

Gardsghastr is of a raw black metal caliber that doesn’t only center upon the symphonic elements. The musical context of the album is quite eccentric and fixed on high creativity hence, making this album sound very unique.
