Canadian war metallers REVENGE return with two new songs. The 'Deceiver.Diseased.Miasmic' EP represents a new chapter in the band’s nihilistic and hateful mission against the world. Immersed in a thick layer of sonic muck, the beastly grunts and spiteful screams, the crusty guitar sound and the assaulting drums drown out any pretense of accessibility and affability. ‘Deceiver.Diseased.Miasmic’ emanates a grubby atmosphere, pushing the limits even further than on previous efforts.
French black metal pioneers SETH have once again lit the flame of the early days with ‘La Morsure du Christ', which can be seen as a sequel to their 1998 acclaimed debut ‘Les blessures de l'âme'.
Wie bereits angekündigt, feiert RUNENWACHT sein 10-jähriges Bestehen – und das mit einer besonderen Veröffentlichung: „Ten Years Of German Black Metal“. Die Scheibe vereint 8 Songs aus den vergangenen zehn Jahren, die vollständig neu eingespielt und abgemischt wurden, sowie 2 brandneue Tracks. Abgerundet wird das Jubiläum durch ein standesgemäßes 6-seitiges Digipack inklusive Booklet.
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.
