MORK GRYNING Hinsides Vrede

After 15 years of complete silence one of my favorite acts from Sweden 90s black metal scene has return to make such an impact. Actually I forget to review this one since the record is from 2020 but still this a nice chance to have a word or two about this promising and nice offering.…

KREATOR Hate Uber Alles

I have to admit that Kreator’s and Blind Guardian’s new releases are the best records in 2022 when it comes to my taste. I haven’t discovered some other records yet but all in all I think that this year has nothing more spectacular to offer. Of course this is just my own opinion and my…

BLIND GUARDIAN The God Machine

The God Machine is one of better Blind Guardian’s issue during last 20 years, if not the best issue. From my humble point of view the band has continued where they stopped some 7 years ago with Beyond the Red Mirror, but it seems that now Hansi, Andre a& co. have decided to make more…

BATTLELORE The Return of the Shadow

I think then over a decade has passed away since Batttlelore has issued their latest album. If I am correct this one is their 7th full-length after 11 years of waiting. I do recall that I was having something like 3 or 4 interviews with them back during the first decade of 2000. And then…

ABBATH Dread Reaver

I could hardy say that I was expecting anything spectacular this time from Abbath. Abbath’s 2nd full-length Outsider was quite a cool release since it has its own heavy vibe, but when it comes to his latest vision I could not say that its the best one. Perhaps I was having some more good tunes…

THYRFING Vanagandr

After 8 years of silence Thyring has returned with most likely one of their best and the most matured record ever compared and recorded. It took me sometimes to focus myself on their latest offering. I still recall that I loved band so much when I was just young lad that was fascination by various…

ORDER OF NOSFERAT Nachtmusik

I cannot recall that I was attracted by any true black metal release since along time ago, but finally there’s something that I could write about. Order of Nosferat are most likely a fresh band to me, and this duo comes from two different countries s Germany and Finland. They style and music are closer…

AGATHODAIMON The Seven

It’s indeed cool when some bands return after a long time of pause so the same has happened with German based gothic black metal band Agathodaimon. I have to say that I was a fun of this band since the very beginning since I could recall their glorious days but it was like 25 years…

SETH La Morsure du Christ

Prime black metal in its best form! Latest offering from Seth is something that has really moved the black metal scene. After countless singed and unsigned Bandcamps bands from various black metal promotion YT channels I’ve found finally something that counts as the most serious and most mature black metal work in 2021! I strongly…

STORMKEEP Tales From Othertime

I know that this band could stand as one of my favorites from 2021, but the things are slightly different. Of course, that the record has made an impact on me, it has some cool ideas, a mixture between melodic death and epic symphonic music but somehow they failed to empress me in the way…
