So it's been eight months since I've posted anything but I'm back. Expect stuff every few days again. This is a French post-punk, deathrock band featuring Andy Julia (Darvulia, Nuit Noire, ex-Mutiilation) on vocals. It's probably the only one I'll ever post here. It's fucking brilliant though do yourself a favor and get it. -DVHG
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
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 download
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 download
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
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
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
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
Pestilential Shadows come from New South Wales , and feature members of Funeral Mourning and Austere , not to mention a fuck-ton of other bands. All around great album here. -DVHG
My newest favorite album on here comes from the UK. And the only other thing I can say about this is the musicianship is amazing and the guitars do things that blow my mind. A swirling mass of unheard black metal mastery. Do yourself a favor and get this immediately! -DVHG
This Israeli band recorded the beautifully raw , old school black metal album 'Hymn of the Dead' in 1996 and guess what happened? It wasn't released until 2008. I'm listening to this all night. - DVHG
The UK's Extinction is one of the rawest sounding black metal projects I have ever heard. Instant classic. It's been raining for weeks here and I can think of no better way to spend the day than smoking a little weed and blasting this unbelievable one-man band. Vuel from this band is also in a power electronics project called Genocide Hammer. -DVHG
David Galas and Mike Van Port Fleet decided to make some of the darker tracks they were making for Lycia into a whole new project around 1995. One of my all-time favorite albums period. 5 stars. -DVHG
From the mountains of Colorado we find the unmistakable genius of the hugely occult-obsessed band Nightbringer. I have been following their albums for awhile now and they just keep getting better. 5 stars. -DVHG
Black Doom from Australia. Coolest thing I've listened to in awhile. I will be blasting this band for a long time. Ethereal , harsh , and quiet all at the same time. Otherworldly guitars shimmer all over this.
Female fronted Hungarian-style Burzum worship. 5 fucking stars. Could listen to this all day. I'm going to put their newer one: Loquitur Cum Alqo Sathanas up soon. -DVHG
Brand new pagan ritual from Nottingham's finest. This album has flutes , shrieking vocals , and well everything you guys want I bet. I give this 5 stars. Must have. -DVHG
