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
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.
This morning I am enjoying black metal band Woman is the Earth from the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Forest are brutal, raw, addictive black metal from Russia. This particular track was released back in 1997 and has maintained its strength over the years.
Really, really enjoying the new video Dualitet og Ulver from Norwegian Viking/Black Metal band Helheim. The video features Hoest from Taake and is a lavishly dark treat.
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
