August 9, 2022 0

Twelve albums in and over thirty years in existence, Austria’s blackened death metal masters Belphegor have returned from the fiery depths of hell and are one of the most influential bands in the blackened death metal spectrum alongside Behemoth, God Dethroned and many others. I first got into Belphegor around 2009 after hearing their 2008 effort of Bondage Goat Zombie and not only was I so heavily invested and intrigued by their soundscapes, progression and songwriting capabilities but not knowing […]

August 8, 2022 0

French based atmospheric/post-black metal project Trëma was formed in the year 2022 and have unleashed the debut full-length album of A l’aurore du crépuscule which means at the dawn of dusk in French.

Right off the bat, the instrumentation work is superb […]

Twelve albums into their career and three decades as a band, Sweden’s longtime melodic death metal crafters Amon Amarth not only are one of my all time favorites in death metal, but I highly consider them as legend status in being one of the most influential and established bands of our time. Amon Amarth not only were one of the many bands that assisted me in discovering other artists within the melodic death metal spectrum, but being a fan since […]

For those unaware of Skelator, they’ve been active in the scene […]

DE PROFUNDIS – The Corruption Of Virtue

August 4, 2022 0

For over two decades into their career, United Kingdom’s very own De Profundis have evolved and submerged themselves into becoming one of my absolute favorites in the underground extreme music community. I been a fan of these guys for long as I can remember and I’m very pleased to say that this record, The Corruption Of Virtue is perhaps the band’s tightest, most cohesive and structured albums they’ve ever created. Knowing their style, the signature blends of visceral arrangements and […]
