What a fucking excellent band Funeral Oppression are. I've relished every single second from their debut album (and very first release!) The Prisoners Of Life. While I'm not that over excited about the front cover, the music more than makes up for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGjqVAvV90Q

Sound Of The Day : Forest Cult
Every day I head to YouTube in the hope that there will be something on my homepage that grabs my attention. Today it was Finnish depressive black metal project Forest Cult. Friends, this band is something really fucking special. I highly recommend you give the single My Ancient Roots a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyNQ_yKklpc
Sound Of The Day : Movimento d’Avanguardia Ermetico
It's not often that I delve into the realm of Italian black metal, but today I thought I'd give Movimento d'Avanguardia Ermetico a listen. And I'm glad I did as their 2015 full-length Torri del Silenziois is rather spectacular. I'm not one who is overly fond of the Italian language as a whole, but it… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Movimento d’Avanguardia Ermetico
Sound Of The Day : Akhlys
Hell, I wish that I'd heard USBM project Akhlys lass year because their album The Dreaming I would have definitely made it onto my top albums of 2015 list. Give it a listen. It's fucking magnificent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_SK1Gn63f0

The music videos I've posted here are true works of art that I've watched and relished countless times.

I recommend… Continue reading Wyrd Words & Effigies : Top 5 Music Videos Of 2015
Sound Of The Day : Midnight Odyssey
I've said it before I'll say it again...Midnight Odyssey can do no wrong. I've been totally absorbed in Shards of Silver Fade, the latest album from this exceptional project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mSvk_h8X8c
Wyrd Words & Effigies Dark Yuletide Gift List
So my friends, here it is...the very first Wyrd Words & Effigies Yuletide Gift List. We're not an easy lot to buy for, us strange folk, but hopefully this list will lift off some pressure that you may be feeling around this time. I have focused a lot of my attention on small, independent, ethically… Continue reading Wyrd Words & Effigies Dark Yuletide Gift List
Sound Of The Day : Lebensgefahr
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
Sound Of The Day : Helheim
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
Sound Of The Day : Galdr
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
