Inquisition - Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm

This is Inquisition, this is Black Metal.
Awesome new release by, in my opinion, one of America's greatest bands.
It's all here, the killer riffs, the thundering drums and those trademark vocals.  Great production, great songs, great fucking album.

Debut EP from these grim Amerikunts, heavy as fukk old skhool Death Metal in league with Funebrarum and co.
Limited to 100, this is heavy shit.

Ayr - Circling

Heavy and thick, two words to sum up the production on this tape, and it's killer.
I'm expecting good things from this pair in the future.  It's somewhat hard to put this band into a sub-group, they're blending various forms of BM into the mix in order to come up with something traditional sounding, yet fresh and new.

Nightbringer

First album by this cult US Black Metal band, awesome song writing only improved with the second album.
Burning the flame for Orthodox USBM.

Means To An End - Weathered By Time

Not being a huge fan of DSBM I gave this a listen due to boredom and quite liked it.
Ambient/Atmospheric elements make it less whiney and wimpy than 94% of DSBM showing its face these days.
With the Shoegaze BM movement being dominante at the moment you can expect to hear traces of that genre lurking in the murk.
Decent listen overall.
Pest 666 put this out, which also put out The Last Days EP.

Westering - Help A Body

What a fantastic discovery.
Shoegaze Black Metal from the United States, wonderfully composed with an excellent mystic production.
For a debut this is outstanding, more Black Metal than Shoegaze, with ambient interludes between songs, which are also brilliant.
I can't get enough of this lately, I can only hope that any follow up that may come to light is on equal terms or better than this.
RECOMMENDED!
