Synths and drones are also a very huge part of the recording as well as all of the tracks sounding very different from each other. All of the songs also avoid the use of any traditional metal instruments, when the music speeds up a small amount of programmed blast beats can be heard and elements of harsh noise are also utilized briefly.</p><p><br /></p><p> Cardinal plays a musical style that takes raw black metal, drone, harsh noise and electronic music and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover the horrific recesses of human experience.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Cardinal are a very great sounding electronic mixture of black metal, harsh noise and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Betrayal Of Light". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> https://cardinamlalevolent.bandcamp.com/album/the-descent </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-32059539474908898202024-03-17T17:23:00.000-07:002024-03-17T17:23:40.971-07:00Vuosisata/Kuilu/2024 EP Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDfCCtV8lrFVFOluYvCmvAtzXFh7qWHWvaMqz6B4v7rW49KPqLSleQqP0ek9Q8GXqhli-X0QJBNPqB0fkPTHDi5VAycHL4nM1g5Pf-FnLobPj5gQPFx4yMqkJnaVSoQOA5rYbd09V1QfxnMybIoKvsPUx3TzTqP6CMD6Xynw8nPo6peIAVytSB60LiY_f/s700/a0174602147_16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDfCCtV8lrFVFOluYvCmvAtzXFh7qWHWvaMqz6B4v7rW49KPqLSleQqP0ek9Q8GXqhli-X0QJBNPqB0fkPTHDi5VAycHL4nM1g5Pf-FnLobPj5gQPFx4yMqkJnaVSoQOA5rYbd09V1QfxnMybIoKvsPUx3TzTqP6CMD6Xynw8nPo6peIAVytSB60LiY_f/s320/a0174602147_16.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Vuosisata are a band from Finland that plays a very atmospheric and depressive mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Kuilu".</p><p><br /></p><p> Atmospheric soundscapes start off the ep before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.</p><p><br /></p><p> Elements of doom metal can also be heard in t he slower sections of the songs while female vocals can also be heard at times. Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the recording along with the music also capturing a very lo-fi atmosphere and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p> Vuosisata plays a musical style that takes a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and mixes it with doom metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover depression themes.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Vuosisata are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive mixture of black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band.

Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs and the tremolo picking in t he fast riffing also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p> Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. as well as the music also mixing in touches of death metal and all of the music sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anti Christianity, Blasphemy., Dark Chronicles Of Tenerife and Guanche Mythology.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Muert and if you are a fan of raw and blasphemous black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Blasphemy In Lastenia".</p><p><br /></p><p> Nect up is Svpremacist a band that plays a very raw, old school and nihilistic form of black metal.</p><p><br /></p><p> Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats.

The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover religious and dogmatic stupidity.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Svpremacist are a very great sounding raw, old school and nihilistic black metal band an d if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Religious Phantasm".</p><p><br /></p><p> In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and old school black metal. 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Muert/3540352235#</p><p><br /></p><p>https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Svpremacist/3540436608# </p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p> </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-82342324711513587002024-03-17T14:52:00.000-07:002024-03-17T14:53:19.067-07:00Malaöun/The Inexorable Darkness/Iron, Blood & Death Corporation/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm1CaTET128qeWK2LGRP3rj-62giXdiozB926hZxP179EwphWbLM-eKQOtcbxw_ZZIWW61m0yYGrHf_y2Q5bFScrhFE8MByEEUhQWbtmgsPGI9D0diNVRprUMORBoyP2GjNqtJBby2VeWB9b6aUKwBmFbFQfAABW1e0Dc42SmNlzRONtydB4gRwaLuvcVW/s750/1197564.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm1CaTET128qeWK2LGRP3rj-62giXdiozB926hZxP179EwphWbLM-eKQOtcbxw_ZZIWW61m0yYGrHf_y2Q5bFScrhFE8MByEEUhQWbtmgsPGI9D0diNVRprUMORBoyP2GjNqtJBby2VeWB9b6aUKwBmFbFQfAABW1e0Dc42SmNlzRONtydB4gRwaLuvcVW/s320/1197564.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Malaöun are a solo project from Malaysia that plays an atmospheric mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "The inexorable Darkness" which will be released in April by Iron, Blood & Death Corporation.</p><p><br /></p><p> Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording.

Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era and all of their tracks are also very long and epic in length.</p><p><br /></p><p> When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style as well as some clear chants/singing, whispers and spoken word parts also being utilized briefly and clean playing can also be heard at times, death metal growls and funeral doom metal elements are also mixed in with their new style.

Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in elements of punk rock and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.</p><p><br /></p><p> At times the music also mixes in the heaviness and raw energy of black metal while being influenced by first and second waves of the genre. Screams can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the guitar leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them, one song also adds in a brief use of keyboards and most of the album also sticks to a mid tempo direction.</p><p><br /></p><p> On this recording Haust focuses more on a metal influenced punk style as well as keeping some of the black metal elements of previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover fear and disgust for double standards in today's society.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Haust and if you are a fan of black metal and punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Left To Die" "Back To Nothing" "The Devil At My Heels" and "Something Evil". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <span style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;

Elements of death metal can also be heard at times and a lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.</p><p><br /></p><p> Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing. Growls can also be heard at times as well as the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and clear vocals can also be heard briefly, avant garde and dissonant touches can also be heard at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover humankind's repugnant existence. </p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Poroniec and if you are a fan of aggressive and modern black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Niepryzystepni" "Moralności" and "Wątpliwości". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <u style="background-color: white; color: #3b3f44; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;">https://youtu.be/mPthu69hgIA</u></p><p><a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGSV2JgYxGCQfoddsWmq/Zs1z1mNFzHgC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">Facebook</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3f44; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGZMUSVW8QLuldwNqpN6/BCn8b4l6WugR" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">Bandcamp</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3f44; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGgDwbKTJaVOrTF7p7xM/hFgYfiMu0mYL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">Spotify</span></a> </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-69703205627278418742024-03-14T15:52:00.000-07:002024-03-14T15:52:38.966-07:00Waves Idle Symmetry/Ametron/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__avmLfGjwYxOhcXe_3RiaWgVFmCMa1cko4jL4Zq-GV8RC-oCvia7Jct05arKLVfUPKeDxOpFWeWy4kE-1KQNqVoFXGrBL7ymcwlh6zM34gIH-ds4FT8Kaf7DExQZq6TbZBELYwAxfKAGOKqMkn8GC4VshHhKY2gD_vjMMtUZuq4QkQE9SD6J7VJua8Ur/s700/a2607123349_16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__avmLfGjwYxOhcXe_3RiaWgVFmCMa1cko4jL4Zq-GV8RC-oCvia7Jct05arKLVfUPKeDxOpFWeWy4kE-1KQNqVoFXGrBL7ymcwlh6zM34gIH-ds4FT8Kaf7DExQZq6TbZBELYwAxfKAGOKqMkn8GC4VshHhKY2gD_vjMMtUZuq4QkQE9SD6J7VJua8Ur/s320/a2607123349_16.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Waves Idle Symmetry are a duo from Greece that plays a very raw and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Ametron" which will be released in May.</p><p><br /></p><p> Folk instruments start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats.

I work from february till december on the tracks. From september on each day. There is a lot of stuff during beside the record and mixing. Like, title, photo shooting, credits, artwork, promo and so on .But when you the master tot he label and the promo begin and you get good feedbacks, it feels really good and was worth the work.</p><p> </p><p>2.You have a new album coming out in April, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?</p><p>When i start with the songwriting für „Hameln“ i feel, that it goes more in the direction oft he „Sagenwelt“ EP. On „Pan“ was a lot of melodic stuff, but this time the songs earn more a darker and deeper atmosphere. I don't plan a direction when i write songs. It is a developing thing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> 3.Your lyrics cover European Fairy Tales and Myths, which stories did you cover with the new release?</p><p><br /></p><p>The Title track „Hameln“ is on of he most popular Myth and legend oft he world. Ist a really dark story. And so it lay on the hand, to write over the „Rattenfänger“. Julian Bauer did an incredible artwork which fits perfectly tot he new record. The other songs deals about death, the famous dwarfs of cologne, some giants, will- o- the wisps and a legend from the north sea.</p><p> 4.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?</p><p>Like i say, Torsten from Northern Silence suggest me Julian Bauer for he new artwork. I must confess that i don't know him before. So i take a look on his page. There where so fantastic artworks, that it was clear form e, that this will be work out for sure. When i saw the first drafts i was blown away. And the finally artwork speak for itself.</p><p><br /></p><p> 5.A lot of your music has more of an old school style, do you prefer the older bands of the genre to the newer bands?</p><p>Sure, i grew up with a lot of old school BM, but i listen to new stuff too. I think that it doesn`t play a role to which bands i listen when i write new songs. It just came from my hands and i knew really fast if it fits for Bilwis or not.</p><p><br /></p><p> 6.With this project you record everything by yourself but have experience working with musicians in other bands, do you prefer to work solo?</p><p>Booth. Since my youth i play in bands with friends and other musicians. I like touring and reharsing.</p><p>Still nowadays. But on the other hand, i love to have the freedom with Bilwis to do whatever i like. There is no one else who must approve my songs, i dont must discuss or something like that. I can work whenever i want. Pick up the title, artwork , riffs or guitar solos. If you ask me, ist luxury.</p><p><br /></p><p>7.The last 2 albums where released on 'Northern Silence Productions'. are you happy with the support that they have given your so far?</p><p><br /></p><p>NS is like a win in a lottery for me. When they ask to sign me, i was freaking out at home. Sure, i know them before and i order records there. Believe me, i work together with a lot of labels. And „Hameln“ is my third record on NS. I never have trouble with them. It is so relax to work with them. Last year i meet the whole crew in person and believe me, all the people are so humble and nice. Unfortunately, they live near 600 kilometers away from y hometown. There is no other label form e than NS.</p><p> </p><p> 8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Awesome!!! I got reaction from all over the world. I really appreciate that. This is the reasons to go on with the music. And it proves again: there are no boundaries with music and metal connects the people together.</p><p> </p><p> 9.Where do you yourself heading into as a musician during the future?</p><p><br /></p><p>My goal is to go on with Bilwis, make good records and writing good songs. I hope i can go on stage someday with this projects. We will see what the future will bring.</p><p><br /></p><p> 10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that you are currently listening tp nowadays?</p><p>I'm really open minded for new music. I love to discover new bands, but i must be honest, most oft he time i listen tot he „classic“ or older stuff. It doesn't matter if it is death, black or whatever metal.</p><p>Dissection, Emperor, Satyricon, Marduk,Caladan Brood, Troll and so many more.</p><p> </p><p> 11.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for pushing Bilwis and keep up the good work. Thank you to all the metal heads out there. You keep this thing alive. Listen to my new record and all the other bands out there.</p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Bandcamp – </span><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/13a3a49a?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://bilwis.bandcamp.com/</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Facebook – </span><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/3bf93320?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Bilwis/</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Instagram – </span><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/574b97c5?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/bilwissagenwelt/</a></p><div><br /></div>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-54072122251534030262024-03-13T19:59:00.000-07:002024-03-13T19:59:47.402-07:00 Óðkraptr/Self Titled/Signal Rex/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhns0AI9yQ5mGiWyOlovegM64EInhn0gSMxvVThtbwYAF4JBZRatQ_K38p9-xAbnrJp2lcSD_eAO8gBZ4kEu20Pr9MoXBN-SNdiRPILLp_d0EYSLtvkNOiLYGeKUe3bcXsjq38UYFDtsEx95LPAk6JHZBU-U2D0a4kSIXibZGnNJdHQTx5TnlF6pdoYcJvj/s425/636170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhns0AI9yQ5mGiWyOlovegM64EInhn0gSMxvVThtbwYAF4JBZRatQ_K38p9-xAbnrJp2lcSD_eAO8gBZ4kEu20Pr9MoXBN-SNdiRPILLp_d0EYSLtvkNOiLYGeKUe3bcXsjq38UYFDtsEx95LPAk6JHZBU-U2D0a4kSIXibZGnNJdHQTx5TnlF6pdoYcJvj/s320/636170.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Óðkraptr are a band from Denmark that plays an avant garde form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2024 album which will be released in April by Signal Rex.</p><p><br /></p><p> A very avant garde sound starts off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the music also captures a very ritualistic atmosphere at times and the riffs also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies.</p><p><br /></p><p> Synths which also add in touches of ambient are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams. Clean playing is also utilized quite a bit throughout the album and the songs also mix in some modern classical and electroacoustic elements.</p><p><br /></p><p> At times the recording also gets very experimental sounding along with one song showing the vocals going into more of a deeper direction. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style as well as one of the tracks also being an instrumental, when the music finally speeds up on a couple of songs a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard and most of the album sticks to a slower direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Danish and cover Occultism and Supernatural themes.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Óðkraptr are a very great sounding avant garde black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genres, you should check out this album.

RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Zawrat" and "Turnia". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGSV2JgYxGCQfoddsWmq/wCNZZ_hzk27T" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">Facebook</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3f44; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGZMUSVW8QLuldwNqpN6/61RyFGsV8Hga" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">Instagram</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3f44; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="https://7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGgDwbKTJaVOrTF7p7xM/_hnmWblwcFDz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #0092ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: none !important; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 15px; outline: none !important;">YouTube</span></a> </p><p><br /></p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-10430717009521116832024-03-12T20:16:00.000-07:002024-03-12T20:16:44.887-07:00Heresiarch/Edifice/Iron Bonehead Productions/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0EXxJRxmQCvrZ6lclmrb5tAOpTekSYynK-T008a0JVsibZiRz4ynQAADylnj0dbZhyqbJoaIg24drj7XIsSMhtzGfz_aO9q_n3OAtso4lkhBhnwPAXjmfrrmEIbnpHWNUVTLip-XuckKOVlKjQBR028C0_4mJexQH86sqaF17_3HNexSbAxupJ-LO88-/s425/227371.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0EXxJRxmQCvrZ6lclmrb5tAOpTekSYynK-T008a0JVsibZiRz4ynQAADylnj0dbZhyqbJoaIg24drj7XIsSMhtzGfz_aO9q_n3OAtso4lkhBhnwPAXjmfrrmEIbnpHWNUVTLip-XuckKOVlKjQBR028C0_4mJexQH86sqaF17_3HNexSbAxupJ-LO88-/s320/227371.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> New Zealand's Heresiarch has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Edifice" which will be released in April by Iron Bonehead Productions.</p><p><br /></p><p> Dark sounding synths start off the album before going into a very fat, raw and brutal war metal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of bestial growls and black metal screams while dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing.</p><p><br /></p><p> Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style. At times the music also captures the brutality of grindcore, synths also return in certain sections of the recording along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.</p><p><br /></p><p> On this recording Heresiarch expands on their bestial mixture of war, black and death metal by focusing more on the death metal side of their musical style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death and war themes.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heresiarch and if you are a fan of war and bestial black/death emtal, you should check out this album.

RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Serpent Abomination" "Omnipresence And Gravitation" and "The Fading light". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Atrexial" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #f27d3e; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px !important;">www.facebook.com/Atrexial</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span></p><p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/officialatrexial" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #f27d3e; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px !important; text-decoration-line: none;">www.instagram.com/officialatrexial</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span> </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-50962803281090505862024-03-11T18:54:00.000-07:002024-03-11T18:54:23.259-07:00Offernat/Where Nothing Grows/Indisciplinarian/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxB5utaE9QEakHzUXdewHnmELRKo56L_86H5ALgUdeFOb_C_YU0Zu9IKMjHQ0_S77fMJ_4pNt4IKpPrA4_mABc-tl7do3p19LIrCgDdxc-PI7BBgd-YB23cg19uE6rLzgvjuybJJS_oNazOH3VzDhjZM1RExSXFD9FkwvZggYlKXp-EsE5Pz1o_cMKoCfl/s440/thumbnail%20(26).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxB5utaE9QEakHzUXdewHnmELRKo56L_86H5ALgUdeFOb_C_YU0Zu9IKMjHQ0_S77fMJ_4pNt4IKpPrA4_mABc-tl7do3p19LIrCgDdxc-PI7BBgd-YB23cg19uE6rLzgvjuybJJS_oNazOH3VzDhjZM1RExSXFD9FkwvZggYlKXp-EsE5Pz1o_cMKoCfl/s320/thumbnail%20(26).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Offernat are a band from Denmark that plays a mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Where Nothing Grows" which will be released on March 29th by Indisciplinarian.</p><p><br /></p><p> Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album before going into more of a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.</p><p><br /></p><p> All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.</p><p><br /></p><p> When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing, at time s the vocals also go into more of an angry shouting direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover alienation themes.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Offernat are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grief" and "Funeral Fantasy". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <a href="https://www.promojukebox.com/mlgdel/?e=VDF4bnBEd3ZTTEdyWFFvRDBvcGpjK1FpMHhkVW9LMGFlWlFUY1E0TEltVT0%3D&c=32983961&p=U6D6BQZTFRAQM6YL&checkcode=1cebbfd4b663d3a2&urlcc=24a4e96d76833b1c&acc=enRScEhnQmIyYkczZ0VYMUZjakdmWVRzOGYxcy9YZVY0QnoxNUhmaGtGWkM2a0orblo0TUlWZk9JYTExVVU5OQ%3D%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; outline: none !important;">https://www.facebook.com/Offernat</span></a></p><p class="yiv1744373252MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px !important; outline: none !important;"><a href="https://www.promojukebox.com/mlgdel/?e=VDF4bnBEd3ZTTEdyWFFvRDBvcGpjK1FpMHhkVW9LMGFlWlFUY1E0TEltVT0%3D&c=32983961&p=U6D6BQZTFRAQM6YL&checkcode=1cebbfd4b663d3a2&urlcc=ddc227854cacc120&acc=RTdKT2QvS3VXYW1TZ0dGeTkzdWJNTGRqRHhmSDFpRDlMbU5iTGprSTFhcWRqOWdEWGgxWFpKTGs1NFNmcVpLUw%3D%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: white; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; outline: none !important;">https://www.instagram.com/offernatofficial</span></a></p><p class="yiv1744373252MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px !important; outline: none !important;"><a href="https://www.promojukebox.com/mlgdel/?e=VDF4bnBEd3ZTTEdyWFFvRDBvcGpjK1FpMHhkVW9LMGFlWlFUY1E0TEltVT0%3D&c=32983961&p=U6D6BQZTFRAQM6YL&checkcode=1cebbfd4b663d3a2&urlcc=1dc189a1ae32d49e&acc=NjNjSDdXbFpXNlU4N25IL21NaDd5QWdXRmsyQWJNenlSUmx5L0VoK1NHaz0%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: white; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; outline: none !important;">https://offernat.bandcamp.com</span></a></p><p class="yiv1744373252MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px !important; outline: none !important;"><a href="https://www.promojukebox.com/mlgdel/?e=VDF4bnBEd3ZTTEdyWFFvRDBvcGpjK1FpMHhkVW9LMGFlWlFUY1E0TEltVT0%3D&c=32983961&p=U6D6BQZTFRAQM6YL&checkcode=1cebbfd4b663d3a2&urlcc=3b63a9036d1135d7&acc=aUlGUXRiOURza1JCdTN1ekhrWjE1TnJsSXNMUHg2RGg4NlRFdVZVMzNUOD0%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: white; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; outline: none !important;">https://linktr.ee/Offernat</span></a></p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-43262025767296964012024-03-10T19:49:00.000-07:002024-03-10T19:49:38.640-07:00Profane Existence/Scorn/Nachzehrer Records/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaNZODK858HWyrcRbvKvHVm1zF2U7HEd-NV2QEzfycIiYabmGSQ8h1ZRQ_LRv29OMjlTyUS3Vl0h6y2uax5XBUSZx-6wfJ9RfDKyvIdXVaN9eOS0hRHC3FhOLvl05be_us36KMv-hf9xb5WEvt9P9Ro87KXaongMutKnSVfPiZPtrv-BFwD0itDAU0SWVv/s700/a0809569534_16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaNZODK858HWyrcRbvKvHVm1zF2U7HEd-NV2QEzfycIiYabmGSQ8h1ZRQ_LRv29OMjlTyUS3Vl0h6y2uax5XBUSZx-6wfJ9RfDKyvIdXVaN9eOS0hRHC3FhOLvl05be_us36KMv-hf9xb5WEvt9P9Ro87KXaongMutKnSVfPiZPtrv-BFwD0itDAU0SWVv/s320/a0809569534_16.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Profane Existence where a band from Germany that played a very atmospheric, melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Scorn" which will be released in May by Nachzehrer Records and was recorded 20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p> Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times.

When synths are utilized they also give the songs more of an atmospheric and dystopian feeling along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.</p><p><br /></p><p> When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.

The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover rural life in Westphalia around the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. </p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Horn and if you are a f an of folk influenced pagan black metal, you should check out this recording.

RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devil's Hammer' "Tears Of The Scythe" and "Shards of Dark". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Facebook – </span><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/cee45290?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/PestilentialShadowsOfficial/</a></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Instagram – </span><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/457406d2?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/pestilential_shadows</a><br style="background-color: white; color: #15212a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" /><a href="https://www.promos.againstpr.com/r/25287a11?m=fea81f05-dd97-43ee-9e66-cdfd26053faa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">https://distrokid.com/.../pestilentialshadows/devils-hammer</a><p><br /></p><p> </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-72668359234809995222024-03-09T18:52:00.000-08:002024-03-09T18:52:02.445-08:00Bilwis/Hameln/Northern Silence Productions/2024 Full length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLAY7HizNIy0ksQzwtuiCrjmYj-dPndt7wFIvA79epCIqOtAXfY1Bega8K7wmfKnJ308ePCn4rHEVuZ-T7KgpAW6HugrD2T7mCYOxRlCvrlAfFqY2uNUW2XC2wnKfDWZxWDoe-sTEKTLO6PBeW5SIKpXZajKSvlx5lKXxtT7arYXkcY0uAcnAOWn7KMcH/s1400/mail%20(88).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLAY7HizNIy0ksQzwtuiCrjmYj-dPndt7wFIvA79epCIqOtAXfY1Bega8K7wmfKnJ308ePCn4rHEVuZ-T7KgpAW6HugrD2T7mCYOxRlCvrlAfFqY2uNUW2XC2wnKfDWZxWDoe-sTEKTLO6PBeW5SIKpXZajKSvlx5lKXxtT7arYXkcY0uAcnAOWn7KMcH/s320/mail%20(88).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Bilwis are a solo project from Germany that plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Hameln" which will be released in April by Northern Silence Productions.</p><p><br /></p><p> Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while growls a re also utilized at times and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.</p><p><br /></p><p> The songs also add in a lot of old school influences while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and clean playing and acoustic guitars are also added into some parts of the album as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.</p><p><br /></p><p> Bilwis plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric and melodic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover Old European Fairy Tales and Myths.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion Bilwis are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album.

Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams nd the faster sections of t he songs also add in a lot of blast beats and war metal elements.</p><p><br /></p><p> Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the tremolo picking in the fast riffing also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. One of the tracks is also a Goatpenis cover and all of t he music also sticks to a very heavy and raw musical direction growls can also be heard on a couple of tracks.</p><p><br /></p><p> On this recording Extermination Dearthcult brings out a very heavy, raw, brutal and satanic form of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while t he lyrics cover Satanism, Anti Christianity, Death and War themes.</p><p><br /></p><p> In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Extermination Deathcult and if you are a fan of satanic war metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Antichristian Warhammer" and "Raise The hand That Cuts The Throat". 8 out of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p> https://exterminationdeathcult.bandcamp.com/album/antichristian-warhammer </p>OccultBlackMetalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16453435838224106929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004949035045702305.post-47411495484108363662024-03-07T18:48:00.000-08:002024-03-07T18:48:19.423-08:00Kawir/Kydoimos/Soulseller Records/2024 Full Length Review<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG9kzG0isIA790Ria7kb3Pd3pvIFc0Ysp7XazCFiu6LRcx_6ZwrATFerN18WbD6YmPyYTwnsxGFPh9J3rLOrxh2dZQ_44rwWHfkjocurEejamv5fjGnJeJD-4G62QKGievqeMyFtx5uzcgIEln3uOaNObLA-NLBaWLrvmnm5s4gJy2ZKYQ3AyZHHF5yiZ/s5574/Kawir-Kydoimos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5574" data-original-width="5574" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG9kzG0isIA790Ria7kb3Pd3pvIFc0Ysp7XazCFiu6LRcx_6ZwrATFerN18WbD6YmPyYTwnsxGFPh9J3rLOrxh2dZQ_44rwWHfkjocurEejamv5fjGnJeJD-4G62QKGievqeMyFtx5uzcgIEln3uOaNObLA-NLBaWLrvmnm5s4gJy2ZKYQ3AyZHHF5yiZ/s320/Kawir-Kydoimos.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> Kawir are a band from Greece that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very epic and pagan form of Hellenic black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Kydoimos" which will be released in April by Soulseller Records.</p><p><br /></p><p> Nature sounds start off the album along with some epic sounding synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also b e heard.</p><p><br /></p><p> When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
