FROSTEN is the most recent creation of prolific UK underground veteran Azrael, who also numbers such entities as Heathen Deity, Helvellyn, Torver, and now-labelmates THY DYING LIGHT among his many current endeavors. As FROSTEN, the duo of Azrael and session drummer Julian Foster play True English Black Metal.
Dunkle, mystische Melodien weben sich schicksalshaft durch die Kompositionen, verschmelzen mit der endlosen Nacht und lassen die Schatten alter Legenden durch die verlassene, von Nebel umhüllte Landschaft wandern.
Svekkelse is the sixth full-length album from the Trondheim based black metal band Gjendød. The second album as a three-piece. Svekkelse continues where the previous album Livskramper quit, but this time, the band has turned it all up a notch. The band never worked with their compositions with such an intensity before.

Hier kommt Black Metal aus Deutschland. Im Ankündigungsschreiben zum zweiten Album von FULLMOON RITES wird erwähnt, dass der Kopf hinter dem Projekt bereits in mehreren Death-Metal-Bands aktiv ist und war. Namen, die mir allerdings gänzlich unbekannt sind. Das tut der Sache jedoch keinen Abbruch, denn „Ad Lucifer Aeternum Gloriam“ spricht für sich selbst.
SERMONS OF THE BLACK FLAME is once again pure Black Metal, committed to the traditions of the Scandi-navian school - but even more varied and epic than its two predecessors
Following last year's masterful debut album, Der Wald zwischen den Welten, GRANITADER continue to storm the ramparts with the three-song / 16-minute Schlachtenklang
