Album Reviews

Greek black metal stalwarts Funeral Storm return with the sophomore ‘Chthonic Invocations’ which is a tribute to the ancient cult of Hellenic black metal. Out on Hell’s Headbangers Records.

Hellenic black metal masters Varathron are back with a majestic seventh album “The Crimson Temple”. An epic triumphant return that combines bombastic melodies and dark choirs and a landmark in the modern era of Hellenic black metal, out on December 1st via Agonia Records.

Funeral Storm’s Arcane Mysteries is as much a tribute to Hellenic black metal as it is a testament to its legacy.

Patriarchs of Evil is a great follow up album to their previous offering, and Varathron has found the right balance of mixing folk melodies with raw black metal.
