Purity Through Fire

Since the arrival of their debut album, Red Dragon's Invocation, in 2021 and the EP The Oath of the Black Wolf a year later, ORGREL have indeed been feeding the Beast. A band literally out of time, the Italian power-trio hailed the ancient days of black metal - the days too often forgotten, in the late '90s, when labels like Solistitium, Sombre, and Drakkar began releasing obsidian gems during the genre's post-sensationalism fallout. Rich with righteous fury and triumph alike, both records synthesized mystical splendor and dizzying delirium into a joint treatise on those too-often-forgotten days, engrossing to the very last notes: reverence, not regression.

Since 2005, Greece's SAD have been a madly prolific bastion of pure 'n' cold black metal. 

Earlier this spring, SCHEUSAL released their debut album, Urwahn, the so-far-mysterious entity strikes while the iron's red-hot with Fressfeind. Thankfully, not much has changed here on this second full-length. Pure 'n' proud Teutonic black metal is still the order of the day, but just like Urwahn did so stridently, Fressfeind further twists SCHEUSAL's unique iteration of German steel.

Formed in that cursed year of 2020, SCHREIGARM are a unique entry into the oft-overlooked but always-vital Teutonic black metal scene: though based in Germany, both members are actually Ukrainian. Such a mixture surely results in a sound that mixes both the austere melodicism of the nowadays Teutonic school and the stargazing mysticism endemic of the Ukrainian form throughout the years. And if 2023's The Mysteries of Fate debut was unjustly underappreciated, then SCHREIGARM's subsequent Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign should doubtlessly right this injustice.

A lightning bolt from the blue, SIECHKNECHT storm forth with a four-song assault of stoic pride and stomping arrogance: the four-song / 24-minute Pestmond. Fronting the band is the ever-prolific Revenant, renown for SARKRISTA and ORDER OF NOSFERAT among others, and he's backed by a trio of black metal...

Nasty melodicism, dangerous execution, a total disregard for modernity and "progression"...begin Purging Sacred Soils with SLAGMARK!
