Review: Kostnatění – Úpal
Feel your sanity melt away as Kostanteni masterfully blends dissonant black metal with Eastern folk music. Hail the new black metal god of the desert!
Review: Amun – Spectra and Obsession
You never know what you have until it’s gone.
Review: Cicada the Burrower – Blight Witch Regalia
Portraying an artist breaking out of her cocoon, does Blight Witch Regalia have the emotional depth to adequately convey its subject material?
Review: Contemplation & Chrono.fixion – Brain Mechanics

Review: Gonemage – Handheld Demise
What was originally intended to scare my peers ended up hurting my ears; however, Gonemage still have a relatively unique take on avant garde black metal worth trying for as long as you can stand it.
