Mazen lists up his favorite releases of 2019 in the black, death and heavy metal scene, check out what he thinks are interesting releases to check out!
2019 is another year filled to the brim with amazing music. Here are my absolute favorites.
Solothus released a staggering album and it’s very close to the level of a masterpiece, recommend for fans of Convulse, Krypts, and Rippikoulu.
“Mortiferum” instills the basic rudimentary elements of the Finnish and U.S. death metal. This is one of the best death doom albums to surface on 2019, essential for fans of “Krypts”, “Rippikoulu”, and “Corpsessed”.
Sempiternal Dusk seems to master their art of death/doom metal each riff is like a monstrous tidal wave that has a monumental and crushing brutality.
“Krypts” have increased their creativity on Cadaver Circulation, deepening the focus on the low tuned guitars that creates one if the most uncanny sensations that you’ll ever experience.
Impetus of Death demands your patience it may take some time for the tracks to materialize before it grips your senses and suffocates you with its churnings horrific madness.
Finnish death doom masters Hooded Menace return with crushing somberness, travelling to new heights of ultimate despair and grotesque.
The second day of the gathering of wolves called Steelchaos provided us with more black metal to feast upon, with a touch of death and thrash to make it all around underground fun!

It’s Winter but it’s not dark enough to your liking? The Finnish underground fest SteelChaos might be the place to be for you…
