Album Reviews

‘Psychic Death: The Shattering of Perceptions’ unfolds the aural magic of its sublime melodies, What Acherontas offers on their latest album is a consistent musical coherence.

Sinister on the latest album made some adjustments: the excessive force of brutality is still present but they’re on a par with the tempo.

Magnus Pelander, the man behind Witchcraft, made ‘Black Metal’ completely on his own, turning it into an extremely minimalist acoustic adventure.

‘Ashes Coalesce’ is full of these mysterious moments that make the sophomore strange yet beautiful.

Over the thirty minutes of its duration, VoidCeremony has competently dazzled me with their unique and professional talent.

‘Effigy of Nightmares’ is a big improvement from the sophomore. Valdrin has succeeded in taking their craft to a professional level.

Thirty years after Winter’s groundbreaking death doom debut ‘Into Darkness’, founding member, Stephen Flam, has penned its spiritual follow up with his new band, Göden, on ‘Beyond Darkness’.

Black Curse manages to give each element a deserving focus. War metal, raw metal or primordial death metal: all these musical traits can be applied to what Black Curse has presented on their debut album.

The cold icy impression of the Norwegian black metal is beautifully conjured on the self titled album.

Cosmic Putrefaction is somewhere in between the cosmic orbits of Tomb Mold’s album, ‘Manor of Infinite Forms’ and the semi-progression of Blood Incantation.
