2015 was quite a light year when it came to actually buying anything that's really worth talking about. Many months went by when I didn't see much more than the four walls of my bedroom, and treating myself or getting something that I needed rarely even registered in my mind. Hell, I could hardly find… Continue reading My Best Wyrd Buys & Gifts Of 2015
Syven create ritualistic music that enables you to transcend this mortal coil. I've been obsessively listening to their second album Corpus Christi for weeks now. Once it's finished I start it over again...and this can go on for hours at a time. It's an exquisite work of art that has left a lasting imprint on… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Syven
Lebensgefahr is a one man black metal project from Sweden which I'm currently listening to obsessively, especially the track En Fäbless För Natten, taken from Nyctophilia, a single released back in August. Featuring the vocals of Sandra Tenwolde, vocalist of the ambient project "Manica," En Fäbless För Nattentrack makes the hairs on the back of my… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Lebensgefahr
Kampfar have stormed back into my consciousnesses of late and I've been gorging on their latest stellar album Profan, specifically the track Daimon. This song has a new kind of power pulsating through it, and the accompanying video...hell, you just have to watch it. Words fucking fail me. Enjoy, and then check out what I… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Kampfar
Absolutely relishing Raunijar, the powerful and energetic title track from Helheim's up and coming 8th album, to be released on the 4th of December by Dark Essence Records. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1CrnqODfpc
I encountered this extraordinary feeling of satisfaction as I listened to Trolldom och Sorg by one man atmospheric black metal project Galdr. It's hard to image just one person behind this impenetrable wall of sound and all consuming atmosphere. Now, don't listen to this track and then leave it at that. Listen and then investigate… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Galdr
I haven't been listening to much music over the past few days. I've been struck down with flu, so haven't actually been doing much of anything. However, today I let my curiosity get the better of me and I followed a link which led me to the Bandcamp page of Moonlore, an ambient band based… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Moonlore
I have seen KAMPFAR official countless times over the years in many different countries, but at BlekkMetal Festival they gave what I would consider to be their greatest ever show. I feel privileged to have attended.
Vreid have conquered once again. Their latest album Sólverv is a masterpiece, though I expected nothing less. They're a band who have consistently provided outfuckingstanding black metal since their founding day in 2004. The album's title track Sólverv is probably my favourite song, and it has a powerful video to accompany it, made in collaboration… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Vreid
It's been a long while since I've listened to Forteresse, so decided to spend some time this evening with their phenomenal 2011 album Crépuscule d'Octobre.
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
