After something of a crazy day, my brain and body was in dire need of something mellow, but rough around the edges, and so I found myself gravitating towards Finnish project Kuilu and their demo from 2014. Here's the 1st track. The vocals towards the end eat into your soul. Enjoy.
It was the intriguing, brooding visuals of this band which enticed me to click on Light Fox's YouTube link and investigate what they had to offer. Downfall of Nur hail from Argentina and create black metal that is refreshingly varied and utterly captivating. I've had the track Downfall of Nur taken from their 2015 full-length… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Downfall Of Nur
I find it incredible how a song can turn a bad day into something really quite magnificent.That's what happened when I first encountered Swedish black metal project Fornhem. For hours I submerged myself in their deeply atmospheric sounds, uncovering layer after layer of black metal brilliance. It is with great pleasure that I present this… Continue reading Interview : Fornhem
Thoroughly enjoying the music of Mother of the Hydra, a one woman band from Sweden. Fronted by the incredibly talented V-Kaos, Mother of the Hydra is a black metal project which embraces experimentation alongside more traditional black metal sounds. I'm currently listening to Contradiction, the first full-length which was released back in 2011.
I don't know much about Finnish black metal project Kêres yet, but one thing I do know is that they are probably going to be one of my favourite discoveries of 2015. I'm thoroughly enjoying Eagle taken from their 2014 EP The Eagle and the Scorpion.

Far too many bands are taking the post rock approach with their black metal and it is doing my head in. As I was on the verge of killing someone, I decided to turn to… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Nocturnal Depression
Ukrainian one man ambient black metal project Moloch has been in existence since 2004 and has an extensive back catalogue, which is well worth checking out. Illusion des Winters is taken from the band's 2011 album Illusionen Eines verlorenen Lebens and is the perfect accompaniment to these almost-midweek blues.
Today was a wasted, stressful day...up until Fornhem entered it. This Swedish black metal project is exactly what I need right now to shed all my gathered angst and frustration. The track you are about to hear is taken from the band's up-coming album, set to be released this year. I honestly think it's one of… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Fornhem
Some Icelandic black metal this Sunday afternoon. Auðn have been active since 2010 and launched their first full-length back in 2014.
