Dødsengel - Alongside Choronzon

An exhilarating, 27-minute journey into the unknowable madness of the Abyss. Four new songs, instantly recognisable as Dødsengel... as diverse as ever in their composition and atmosphere.

Dødsengel - Ecstatic Horror

Dødsengel emerge with two new powerful incantations, ‘Axis Mundi’ and ‘Unchained and Reborn’ – both tracks equal in their pounding ferocity and mystical energy.

Gorgonea Prima!

Just fucking look at these guys......Tekno throwbacks from Mortal Kombat II, playing the future of modern Black Metal warfare.
We've all heard Aborym, Mysticum, Neo Inferno 262 and the rest, and each of them left us gasping for air, yet after we recovered, we thought 'This band could push it further, they could use more of these drug fuelled elektronikal additions in order to wipe my memory from my skull in a green hazed bout of madness'.
Well this is where we find ourselves, finally a band that is 100% CYBER.
There's no quiet Black Metal only sections, everything is powered by elektroniks, everything storms ahead through fibre optik cables, with one destination, your brain.
There's no pulse to this, only beeps and fans spinning, like the computer you're using now.

Needless to say this is recommended, I urge all of you with the slightest interest in above mentioned bands as well as any general interest in Industrial BM or the more obscure ancient term of Cyber BM.

Urfaust - Der freiwillige Bettler

New release from our Dutch fruitcakes Urfaust, excellent mood setting album for that important first date with the college girl you picked up down at burger king, essential listening.
Urfaust should be no mystery to you by now, the vocals are still oddly excellent, the music is still full of atmosphere and foreboding.  Grab it! Grab her Kunt!

Svartrit - I - III

Not very often does a band release three albums in a year, let alone all at the same time.
I'd never heard of this band before untill my recent discovery, and I wasn't expecting too much from the generic covers and unoriginal B&W woodland photography, but pleasantly, I was surprised.
You could find yourself comparing this band to early/mid era Abigor during moments, Svartrit do manage to carry that mid-90's feeling among certain songs, which makes it easy to listen to and doesn't give you much room to pick at this band, unless you're looking for something totally original and fresh, which this isn't.
Dark Germanic Heathenism/Anti-Cosmic is apparently the lyrical theme, not that you'd be able to tell at all.
Closing this up I have enjoyed the minutes spent listening to all three releases and I'd suggest you do the same.
(Note - the second album failed to upload, so the first and third will be posted and the second shall follow, if you enjoy both post a comment and I'll try and get the second album posted quickly.)

Download I & III



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.

Interesting listen for a band so young in the shape of BM.

Otargos - No God, No Satan

Decent release from a pretty killer live band whom I saw a few months back, they're also good on disc.

Black Witchery - Inferno Of Sacred Destruction

New album from one of Americas leading bands in bestial barbaric war black metal.

New album (of sorts) from the original masters of insanity and shit eating.

4. Dearth 03:47
5. Phosphene 07:03

Finally it is here! Make haste!
Having listened to this a few times now, I have to say the first thing that hits me, is "Wow, it's over?"
Maybe I wanted this to carry on into the 70 minute zone, but it doesn't matter what I want.
What I will say is that this is most certainly the overall best of the trilogy.  It's less painful on the brain to listen to than part two, and most interesting than part one, it's a nice combination of the two, certainly this is the result of taking the best from the first two and molding them perfectly into the shape of an unstoppable multiheaded beast.

Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta / Die Rückkehr der Tollwütigen Bestie

One of the most insane albums you're likely to hear.
This is the second album for those of you that went crazy punching yourselves in the face listening to the latest, you'll probably end up crippled once this album finishes.
Highly addictive, totally kaotic and utterly brilliant. Witness for yourself.

Download

Nyseius - Militiae

Some pretty excellent new French Black Metal up for grabs, with one demo released in 2004 prior to this full length, for a band that has been active since 2002, that's quite a while to get things kicking off.  Make no mistake, this isn't bringing anything new to the table, it's an old dish cooked to an great standard by an imitation TV cook, but for fans of fast and at times brutal Black Metal, this wins.

Download

Alrakis - Omega Cen

Incredible band from Germany, this is however an unofficial release (So I'm told), but who cares? You can't care that much otherwise you wouldn't be on this blog, or any other.
Darkspace, Astral Silence and now Alrakis pick up the torch leading the way in outer-space inspired Black Metal.
The music is other worldly, vast and black, empty yet full of life, like the dark sea in which Earth swims in.
Nice production gets the message across well, guitars sound sorrowful and full of yearning.  This music is searching for answers, answers which NASA are still trying to figure out, get a step ahead of them and spend an hour of your time focusing your cosmic energy into this.

Download

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.

Download

Divine Codex - Ante Matter

Guh.Lu: guitars, bass, backing vocals
Atum: drums, synthesizers
M. Svavel: Session Vocals
Mysteriis: session Vocals

Attila Csihar: addtional vocal/Intrumental contribution

What do you think about that then? Sneaky line up, and not a bad album, worth 40 minutes of your time.

Download

Nekrasov

Nekrasov are one of a number of projects bringing us Black Metal/Noise/Ambient hybrids these days, and Nekrasov do it in a very harsh noise driven fashion, it's kaotic and insane at times, whilst the noise/ambient tracks are dark and intimidating, hinting at some future doom that awaits us all in our stone buildings and steel steeds, this is very much for the modern world.  This is however, all very well kontrolled, so much so that you might begin to think that Skynet is involved in the creation of these songs.  You've been warned.

Download [Both albums]

Dark Tribe - Archaic Visions

Awesome new album from German nutcases Dark Tribe, demented lunatic kaos! 

Vokills are for your Silencer/Bethlehem fans, the music on the other hand is probably more off the wall than both bands combined, this only features at times though.

Excellent riffs partner some brilliant and refreshing drum patterns also a great production for this type of band, not too polished, still raw and cold, but clear enough to sound full and fat.

If you're going to listen to one album this week, try and make it this one.

PSYKOTIC BLACK METAL ATTAKK!
