Are you ready to be deeply, and I mean really fucking deeply unnerved? I'm taking unnerved Begotten level here... Yeah? Then I suggest you pop the lights off and watch the new video from French black metal project K.F.R. Directed and edited by Benjamin Champenois and Maxime Taccardi, this is a work of dark genius.
A little while ago, my Facebook news feed informed me that Danish one woman black metal project Mykur had made a Scandinavian folk/classical/choral playlist on Spotify, so I simply had to check it out. And oh...my friends...it is utterly wonderful.
Honestly, Hermóðr might possibly be one of my favourite projects of all time. Everything, and I really do mean everything that emerges from this project is never short of perfect. The most recent offering is a haunting single entitled The Scent of Autumn.
I've been a fan of the Finnish black/folk/doom project Wyrd for a long time, and was stoked to discover that vocalist Grim 666 has a very promising funeral doom/ambient side project called Grimirg. Click on the video below to hear the first track from the debut album MMXV-I.
Prolific one woman atmospheric black metal band Crown Of Asteria has gifted the world with an offering this Samhain - a beautiful and evocative release entitled Vidskepelse. My favourite track on the record has to be the short, but perfectly formed Wytches Chant. I don't think I'll be listening to much else today.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've listened to Svältorna from Swedish black metal solo project Grift's latest album Syner. The song and it's accompanying video are both masterpieces.
Enjoying the new EP Vigilia from Finnish black metal project Cosmic Church.
Hermóðr is a band which I have been listening to on a daily basis for quite some time now. The ever prolific Rafn is the solo member behind the Swedish atmospheric black metal project. If you listen to one thing today, make it Frostfödd from his 2014 album Vinter.
I absolutely adore the new single Nestle Within from the upcoming Lustre album, set for release by Nordvis in 2016.
Really good, solid, interesting black metal from Spain for you here. I highly recommend you listen to all of Astral Dream by Perennial Isolation.
