The black metal created by Swedish band Helgedom is the sort of music which devours you whole. Hypnotic, languid, sinister - Ofärdens lönndom is taken from their vinyl only album release Den mörka skogen af ondo.

Sound Of The Day : Blaze Of Sorrow
Today is all about Italian atmospheric black metal, specifically, Blaze of Sorrow. Empatia is taken from their 2012 album Echi. Close your eyes and sink into the sound.
Sound Of The Day : Ormgård
I first encountered Swedish one man BM band Ormgård mid 2014...far, far too late in my opinion. Rúnir is taken from ////\, Ormgård's debut full-length, which was released on cassette and limited to 300 copies. Listen. Be transformed.
Sound Of The Day : Sarkrista
I needed something to get me going this morning, something to set me up for the rest of the day, something brutal and blasphemous. German black metal band Sarkrista have done the job nicely with Funerals and Flaring Torches from their 2013 debut album The Acheronian Worship.
Sound Of The Day : Nychts
Ambient black metal from Switzerland to start the day. Nychts (Old German for 'nothing') have a sound which sinks into my marrow. The harsh, harrowing vocals and distant howls take me away from the table where I am typing this, and drop me in another time and place. Their work is diverse and surprising from… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Nychts
Sound Of The Day : Midnight Odyssey
Australian one man ambient black metal project Midnight Odyssey never fails to inspire and move me. Last night I listened to Dis Pater's new track Hunter of the Celestial Sea half a dozen times. The multi-layered epic had me almost in tears it was that fucking good.
Sound Of The Day : Echtra
I would say that for every twenty bands that I listen to, only one will impress and leave me wanting more. I was getting to the end of my tether yesterday, after scoring through the names of dozens of bands. Echtra was the last band on that list, and hell was I glad that I… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Echtra
Sound Of The Day : Urfaust
I woke up this morning to discover Apparitions, the title track for Urfaust's upcoming EP. Needless to say, it's been repeated several times. Hypnotic, spine tingling stuff. If you make time for one new music track today, make time for this.
Sound Of The Day : Woman Is The Earth
This morning I am enjoying black metal band Woman is the Earth from the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Sound Of The Day : Ildjarn
This morning I am cracking my skull apart with the savage, darkly melodic Norwegian BM band Ildjarn, sadly now defunct. The discography of this one man band is vast, and I strongly recommend you work your way through it. Forest Crypt (fucking epic title) is taken from the 2013 split Those Once Mighty Fallen with… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Ildjarn
