Myrkur's cover of Bathory's Song To Hall Up High is beautiful. I've had it on repeat for the past three days.

Sound Of The Day : Ofdrykkja
My sound of the day is from Swedish depressive black metal project Ofdrykkja (which means 'excessive drinking' in Old Norse). Their track Urban Enlightenment of Desolation is outfuckingstanding. Seriously, this is some of the best depressive black metal I've ever encountered...and believe me, I've waded through masses of the stuff. The cold atmosphere conjured is… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Ofdrykkja
Sound Of The Day : Nivlhel
I've had Swedish black metal project Nivlhel on repeat for the past two days. Vrede IV from their self-titled debut album is an astonishingly powerful piece of music.
Sound Of The Day : Borgne
I can't recall the last time I listened to some black metal from Switzerland, so happening upon one man project Borgne this morning was an unexpected treat. This is gloriously intense black metal - honestly, I can't believe this is all done by one human being - which you need to pay attention to. The… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Borgne
Sound Of The Day : Blodsrit
Some powerful, raw Swedish black metal to power me through the rest of the weekend. Blodsrit's 2004 album Helveteshymner is an exceptional piece of blackened art, which grows in strength with every listen.
Sound Of The Day : The Moon Lay Hidden Behind A Cloud
Austrian dark ambient due The Moon Lay Hidden Behind A Cloud is a project which I can recall sneaked into my life at some time or other, but was sadly forgotten about...until today. I'm working my way through all of their stuff and am currently infatuated with the following track from their 1994 album Amara… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : The Moon Lay Hidden Behind A Cloud
Sound Of The Day : Panphage
Relishing new sounds from Swedish black metal project Panphage.
Sound Of The Day : Deafest
I only discovered Colorado based black metal band Deafest today, and I'm already infatuated. Their instrumental track The Peak Above The Pines is outstanding.
Sound Of The Day : Öröm
It's been a somewhat dismal start to the week, so some ambient sounds made a perfect accompaniment to my bleak hours. The dark ambient/doom band I've been listening to are called Öröm, and hail from Hungary. Their 2015 album O is a fine offering, especially the track Hajnal.
Sound Of The Day : Saiva
Saiva hail from Sweden and create black metal with dark folk influences. Everything I've heard from this project has been impeccable, and I just wish there was more substance to their discography. At this moment of writing, there's just an EP and a split with Grift. Hopefully a full-length will be added before too long.… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Saiva
