A horrific trip straight into the eye of a humongous and vorticose storm that devours everything. Being A Spasm of Light a single 33-minute monster track, the album feels more like a voyage.
But while there may be some similarities in the general idea, Imperial Cult stands completely on its own as they’ve perhaps even crossed a new threshold in that realm of trance black metal and taken this approach to next level of absurd. Sonically, A Spasm of Light brings to mind Fell Voices due to the furious, repetitive, and mind-collapsing repetitions and epic buildups upon which the compositions are built which throw the listener into a disorienting trance that annihilates the synapses. Misþyrming is a band that does it like no other and this album proves it!Īlgleymi by Misþyrming SIX – IMPERIAL CULT, Spasm Of Light Hagzissa – They Ride Along by Iron Bonehead Productions SEVEN – Misþyrming, Algleymi Hagzissa has created an album that will stand the test of time with They Ride Along. – SPYROS, CVLT Nation Achatius by Funereal Presence EIGHT – Hagzissa, They Ride Along Five years after their debut record, Funereal Presence return to form with Achatius, a work that further explores the dark corridors of Muller’s concepts. While Negative Plane adhere to the occult black metal scene that acts like Necros Christos brought to prominence, Funereal Presence takes an even more old-school approach to produce its bitter black metal brew. But on the side, Muller is also active with his solo project Funereal Presence, through which he has released a self-titled EP and a debut full-length in The Archer Takes Aim. Mattias Muller (aka Bestial Devotion) is primarily known as the drummer of black metal fiends Negative Plane. Hallucinogen by Blut Aus Nord NINE – Funereal Presence, Achatius Unholy hell, BLUT AUS NORD’s Hallucinogen is mind melting and if you don’t believe peep it for yourself! – CERBERO, CVLT Nation ЧОМУ НЕ ВИЙШЛО? by TRESPASSER TEN – BLUT AUS NORD, Hallucinogen Swedish anarcho-black metal punks TRESPASSER have recently unleashed their incinerating debut album Чому не вийшло? AKA Why Didn’t It Happen?, a firestorm of anarcho-punk and black metal annihilation that sounds the alarm of the apocalypse, bringing back to mind the glory days of bands like Iskra, while also packing in the fury and malevolence of classic bands like Marduk, Watain etc. It’s a marathon of beauty and pain, and it’s a reminder of what this genre is capable of making you feel.īelong by ULTHA ELEVEN – TRESPASSER, ЧОМУ НЕ ВИЙШЛО? ULTHA’s belong is a Black Metal record that is deeper than most. – Kelly Hudson, CVLT Nation Behold Sedition Plainsong by Dawn Ray'd TWELVE – ULTHA, belong
All of this is delivered with passion and care and craft. There’s blistering leads and tumbling percussion on other songs that will make you feel like you’re charging headlong into battle in a berserker rage. There’s acoustic passages accompanied by the violin that will make you feel like you’re sitting by a fire in a field at night, drinking with good friends. No, this record is kind of all things Folk Black Metal. Don’t be confused and think it might be particularly slow or trancy, even though it has plenty of those elements, as well.
There are some really fast-charging moments on Behold Sedition Plainsong. What I love about VERWOED’smusic is how they create space for the listener’s nightmares to travel and glimpse a better tomorrow!ĭe Val by Verwoed THIRTEEN – Dawn Ray’d, Behold Sedition Plainsong All of the songs you will encounter on this offering are well written, and seem to transcend any genre while still keeping a black metal soul. So what happens when Sentient Ruinand Argento Records join forces to release one of the raddest Black Metal records of 2019? The outcome is VERWOED’s new album De Val,which is a beautiful and grim collection of death hymns that drip with sorrow. These albums will keep us on ice until then…īyyrth’s Cold Autumn Shadows is a fucking powerful album! Do the right thing and tune the fuck in!īyyrth – Cold Autumn Shadows by Iron Bonehead Productions FOURTEEN – Verwoed, De Val It’s time for us to go into hibernation for a couple of weeks and get ready to come out swinging in the 2020’s. We’ve reached out final list of the 2010’s.
