Review: Vauruvã – Por Nós da Ventania
Centered around a deep appreciation of the natural world, this album is both beautiful and vicious improvised black metal by none other than Caio Lemos–the man behind Bríi and Kaatayra.
Review: GUDSFORLADT – Friendship, Love and War
An hour of heavy metal infused black metal turns out to be way too much of a good thing.
Review: Marlugubre – Maladie
Have you ever wondered what a band trying their hardest to emulate 90s Opeth would sound like?
Review: Bríi – Corpos Transparentes
“Rhythm is everything” states Caio Lemos: He provides on Corpos Transparentes, one of the most unique and well composed albums you will hear this year.
Review: Negură Bunget – Zău
An emotional swansong from Romanian black metal giants.
Review: Vauruvã – Manso Queimor Dacordado
Raw atmospheric black metal with a ton of heart, enthralling melodies, and a unique spin on the genre.
Review: Windfaerer – Breaths of Elder Dawns
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Review: The Flight of Sleipnir – Eventide
Psychedelic Vikings from Colorado come to show you that while Agalloch died physically, their legacy will live on, now with extra psych doom!
Review: Æthĕrĭa Conscĭentĭa – Corrupted Pillars of Vanity
Sci-fi themed progressive black metal with massive dynamics, riffs, and jazzy saxophone? Yes please.
Review: Dawnwalker – Ages
Emotionally gripping post-metal with tasteful, varied song-writing.
