Irrwisch - Self Titled

From the Netherlands comes Irrwisch , who use such bizarre instrumentation as a fucking cello on some of the tracks off this amazing atmospheric black metal masterpiece , which also happens to be a demo. Unbelievable. -DVHG

Behexen / Satanic Warmaster split

What can I say about the Behexen and Satanic Warmaster split except you know what's up already so get this shit if you don't have it. It's fucking great. -DVHG

Lurker of Chalice - Self Titled

I get a lot of shit for saying this but this is my go-to album when I get that black metal vibe. Wrest is a goddamn genius and I don't give a fuck what you think about that statement so don't bother. Sitting near the top of my top ten list of all time greatest black metal releases. Where to start? Fields of the Nephilim style vocals that seem to just come from out of a crypt and shoot off towards the sky. My favorite track here is "Granite" , which I play almost everyday. -DVHG

Goatfire - Sacrophobic Initiation

Satanic black metal from Italy. -DVHG

Lordamor - Self Titled

An intro of noise leads into this brand new Finnish doom instant classic and immediately thereafter drops into a funeral pace , dragging your face into dirt. Surreal darkened psychedelia. This is an amazing album. 5 stars. -DVHG

Tymah - Loquitur Cum Alqo Sathanas

Fucking masterpiece in my opinion from my favorite female fronted black metal band. Their name is Cyrillic , so it looks like it says Tymah , but it's the word for "Fog" , which is "Tuman". This is their 2007 full-length. -DVHG

Vérzivatar - In the Shadow of Sombre Clouds

All hail Hungarian black metal! This is a very cold and harsh album. I can't think of any other way to describe it. Do you like Marblebog? Do you like Tymah? You will love this album if you do. Hungary must be a vampire ridden , cold , cold place. About half an hour of forest roaming wickedness. -DVHG

Seclusion - Skies Veiled in Black

Debut album from the depressive black metal band Seclusion. Hissing vocals , which I like , but the guitar really shines here in perfect harmony with the light synths which really make it special. UK greatness. -DVHG
