The name "Black tear" would generally escort a band playing gothic or even doom metal music. This band comes from the hellpits of Barcelona – Spain & have made their presence in the underground scene, having their songs included in one of the Spanish compilations " BLOODY COMPILATION III ". I would categorize their music… Read More Black Tear – Live
The cover artwork, gives a strange sensation about this cd as to how the music goes! A wicked old man lost somewhere in the midst of a black forest, no signs of light! Is there anything the cover has to do with the music here? Yup! This is an underground unique avantgarde black metal release.… Read More Grabnebelfursten – Von Schemen And Trugbildern

My first reaction on hearing the whole album was that these guys are probably South American brothers of Sahil a.k.a. Demonstealer (of Demonic Resurrection, India.). In other words they are also trying to make Melodic Black Metal with lots of other influences like Death, Doom etc. The album kicks off in a damn impressive way.… Read More Incarnatus – Sinfonia De Hades
Quote Unquote Umesh Amtey "Anyone who likes Darkthrone is a friend of mine". I really don’t know the origins of this band. I had got it as a trade with Negur. And its definitely one of the best releases I have heard in some time. Old School, Grim, Primitive, Simple, Cold. You name it and… Read More Armagedda – The Final War Approaching
There are many bands which have been overlooked, and have not been given a twice – thought by this extreme metal community in which some of us have our contributions,words,promotions and our other belongings in. Well, to express my views clearly, let me simply state that this release being so far the BEST of Varathron,… Read More Varathron – Walpurgisnacht
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
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
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
