After 16 years of deathlike slumber, Hate Forest is back with a new album called " Hour Of the Centaur" created and recorded in few days of April 2020. You will not find anything trendy or new here - band's same unpenetrable dark wall of sound and bottomless maelstrom exclusively.
This is laconic and honest black metal crafted on Old Europe's eastern frontier, full of disgust to modern pseudo-intellectual, selfie/ Instagram "black metal".
An aptly titled record no matter the language, Naturmystik brings together two modern stalwarts of mystical black metal. HÄXANU - whose acclaimed second album, Totenpass, was released last year by AMOR FATI - is the duo of multi-instrumentalist Alex Poole (Chaos Moon, Krieg, Skáphe, Ringarė, etc) and vocalist/lyricist L.C. of Lichmagick.
Completed by a plausibly professional production that doesn't negate the raw grit of emotion, NACHTIG's Eisig' Romantik is bound to be the year's saddest black metal record - and one of the most engrossing.
