Album Reviews

Green Carnation releases their first new album in 14 years and it’s a musical masterpiece like you’d come to expect from these prog masters.

As far as musical valentine gifts go they don’t get much sweeter than this. Ihsahn has just released the first of two EPs dedicated to his hometown of Telemark in Norway.

It seldom happens that a highly anticipated debut album surpasses all expectations. Mare achieved just that with what is already a contemporary black metal classic.

Demonaz has crafted an intellectual material that animates the band as one of the leading acts in the black metal genre.

Short review for Urarv’s debut album “Aurum”. Set to be released on the 22nd of September through Svart records.
