I was looking forward to write up the review for this Black Metal Mcd. And finally, here it is! Hecate Enthroned hails from UK and they play Atmospheric black metal. I dont think many of youll know about the bands history,just a small briefing: Well, in 1993, Daemonum a black death metal band was formed… Read More Hecate Enthroned – Upon Promethean Shores
Magnum Opus! Vore is a 4 piece band hailing from Arkansas (USA). This is their full length debut cd as far as my knowledge goes. This quartet band plays thrash – death metal. Unlike many death metal bands today , Vore has a unique framework of awesome death metal without having to be that raw… Read More Vore – Lord Of Storms
Mesopotamian Metal!! That’s what Melechesh call their music. And it saves me the problem of trying to pigeonhole them in some damn genre/sub-genre already known to people. All said and done they have defined a new sound, and the name just suits the music fine. The album booklet is really beautiful with influences of middle-eastern… Read More Melechesh – Djinn
OK! This mcd is not for the weak, it’s a warning for all those who may turn deaf or may be mentally tortured after listening to this band. Retch have two members (hailing from California) who look forward to burn you down with some sick death metal music. On looking to the cover artwork of… Read More Retch – Reinsertion Of Aborted Remains
I haven’t heard of many gothic metal bands from Portugal, where this great band hails! This product gives you some unforgettable gloomy metal music. There’s a wide range of instruments played in this mcd but it’s all done and mustered together to relish the listener with some excellent gothic doom metal! In Peccatvm have used… Read More In Peccatvm – Antilia
Another classic dark metal band with a hell of a lot of variation! Their 3rd full-length album and Bethlehem have once again, a new vocalist. This time it is Marco from Deinonychus. There are many bands playing in this genre, but the band that stands out surely has something different to express and that is… Read More Bethlehem – Sardonischer Untergang im Zeichen Irreligiöser
Brilliant!!!!! If I had to summarise this album in one word, that’s all I need to say. I suppose anyone even remotely exposed to Norwegian Black Metal Scene would have heard of, if not heard, this absolute masterpiece. It represents the Pinnacle of these Viking Warriors’ musical career. The Whole album is simply a masterpiece,… Read More Enslaved – Eld
Enslaved, in my humble opinion, is a Norwegian band, which somehow didn’t manage to get even a quarter of the respect and recognition, which they deserve. To me, they seem to have always been overshadowed by "bigger" brothers from their land. Enslaved has changed its style "A LOT" over the years. They were the ones… Read More Enslaved – Blodhemn
Hail Ancestral Legacy from Norway, this cd is indeed a great listen for all the black metal listeners around the world.Many black metal bands tend to have the same flow of music without any diversity , but this band has a raw and a creative feeling to songs in this product. The musical arrangements is… Read More Ancestral Legacy – Ancestral Legacy
Demo material, though usually interesting and sometimes entertaining, can be quite tiresome. Unfortunately, Burzum’s official disc of demos/unreleased material released in 1999, isn’t an exception. Titled Ragnarok (A New Beginning), this is a collection of 8 tracks measuring over 45 minutes, but the brilliance we observe in Varg Vikerenes’ album efforts is hardly present here.… Read More Burzum – Ragnarok (A New Beginning)
I used to hate Burzum. Recently, I started getting into real black metal, but still didn’t give Burzum’s music a fair chance – labeling it "lower rung" black metal. However, after careful listens I have come to realize that not only are the first 5 Burzum (Varg Vikerenes/Count Grishnack’s one man black metal project, from… Read More Burzum – Filosofem
Varg Vikerenes/Count Grishnack cast his spell of destruction upon the world with Burzum’s Aske and Burzum works (also released as Burzum/Aske), immediately creating an obscure, yet profound sound which was embraced by the few that could somehow comprehend it. After the onslaught of Burzum/Aske and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Varg outdid himself by crafting yet… Read More Burzum – Det Som Engang Var
