Thesyre - Résistance

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:00:00 +0000

New album from this Canadian horde; rockin’ black metal with totally badass riffs and occasionaly sung vocals, those familiar with the band know what to expect, this is probably one of the strongest albums released by the band thus far, recommended!

Borgia / Ysengrin - Ars Magna Moriendi

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Awesome split release between two fairly new French bands. Borgia is the band to check out here, incredibly well written “technical” black / death metal; the music reminds me of C.Y.T with a hint of Portal, especially on the more death metal parts, great stuff!
Ysengrin plays death / doom, good material, but Borgia is the clearly the highlight of this split.

Visthia - Reditus Conscientia

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:15:00 +0000

A great album from this Italian band; faster paced black metal that reminds a bit of newer Setherial, but much better. Funnily enough the highlight of the album is the one slower paced song. Definitely worth checking out!

Awesome Polish band headed by a member Kriegsmaschine. Raw black metal with an atmospheric edge; the EP’s are more straightforward mid-paced black metal, while the full-length focuses more on atmosphere. Needless to say the song-writing is of the highest quality on all the releases… highly recommended!

Demoncy - Empire of the Fallen Angel

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:34:00 +0000

Extremely underrated album from Demoncy; usually you hear people praising “Joined In Darkness”, but this one is, in my opinion, more than a worthy addition to their discography. The music is more in the vein of older Swedish black metal bands, faster paced black metal with a melodic touch; incredibly enjoyable material!

Thy Repentance - Through the Twilight Eyes of Frost

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:31:00 +0000

Second album from this Russian duo, originally recorded in ‘97 but released in ’03. The music is lo-fi raw melodic black metal; hellish, cold and distant yet highly atmospheric, somewhat reminiscent of early Emperor. The fourth song is a bit different with repetitive martial drumming and insane vocals, sounds more akin to Akitsa. There are also some female vocals that are really well incorporated and add to the haunting nature of the recording. A real gem of raw black metal!

Kraken Duumvirate - From the Dying Soil to the Eternal Sea

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:27:00 +0000

Debut Ep from this rather mysterious Finnish band. Featuring two songs and an intro, Kraken Duumvirate show how minimal funeral doom / black metal should sound like. The songs are extremely repetitive with the vocals low in the mix; simple, yet so effective! The atmosphere created is perfect, like it was recorded in an underwater cave; the sound is desolate and haunting. The only fault of this release is that it’s extremely short, only two songs make you beg for more, hopefully we’ll see more of this band in the future.

Endstille (FLAC)

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:10:00 +0000

One of my favorite German bands, Endstille plays fast war-influenced black metal; the music is brutal yet trance-inducing. There is little variation on each new release, they always stick to the same formula, and are one of the few bands that can get away with it! Essential!!

Debut album from this UK band. Excellent atmospheric black metal with great production, courtesy of ‘Negura Music’; the music is incredibly well written, with atmospheric, epic and even some more straightforward parts; “Black Moss” a perfect example, starting off with a strong, almost brutal, first part then progressing into an atmospheric section before the epic finale. Awesome release!

In Tormentata Quiete

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:01:00 +0000

A slight digression from all the rawness, this is highly melodic symphonic black metal; very accessible music with great song-writing, lot’s of melodic passages and clean vocals. The first album reminds me a bit of (newer) Arcturus while the newer album is somewhat similar to Janus’ Vega but with a lot more progressive touches. Quite enjoyable!

Forteresse - Métal Noir Québécois

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:54:00 +0000

Straightforward raw black metal from Quebec. The songs are faster paced and quite repetitive, which I like, and even sound epic at times. The drum machine (if they’re even using one) at first sounds quite unnatural but with more listens it fits perfectly with the music. This is a great no frills black metal release that gets better with each listen, not for those who like their bm accessible.

Incriminated

belowthefog666@gmail.com (Khaos[]) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:22:00 +0000

One of the best and most consistent bands from Finland; Incriminated started out as death / thrash metal, but with time changed to a more black metal sound. The common thread of all their releases is the pure old-school dirty sound, a bit slower paced and just plain fucking badass! Every single release is worth checking out; it simply doesn’t get any better than this!

Great debut from this Swedish band. Slow black metal with lot’s of doom influences; the production is more trebly then the EP, which I found a bit irritating at first but got used to after a couple of listens. The songs feature some quite enjoyable acoustic interludes and the vocals are also really good. The last song is the strongest part of the release. I personally prefer their EP but this is still a great release!

Awesome debut from this Greek one-man band. A really well made album full of psychedelic compositions; the songs are mostly repetitive with a strange bleak atmosphere, the music actually sounds almost like Caina stripped to the bone. There are few black metal songs here, but I think this will very much appeal those into unique atmospheric music. Highly recommended!!

After the seriously badass new album, I decided to track down the debut from this Dutch project. Dynamic, fast paced black metal with incredible use of effects; lots of stuff going on here, very psychedelic at times; it’s not as “brutal” as the new album but it’s just as good, if not more so! Mandatory!!
Edit: thanks to one of our readers, kane, I also added the remastered reissue of 'Spikes Through Eyes' called 'Verus Diuinus Magus' that omits the song 'The Meek Shall Inherit The Scorched Earth' but adds three others from the same session.
