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.
Sorry about the brief pause, I've been in transit for the past few days. However, I'm back on track with one of the finest black metal releases of 2014 - Fimbulwinter by the mighty Satanic Warmaster. I recommend you spend the next 51 minutes and 42 seconds not doing very much, except for tuning yourself… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Satanic Warmaster
Australia has unleashed some exquisite black metal over the years, including Moon, a staggeringly good one man band from Brisbane. At the moment I'm infatuated with the project's debut demo - also entitled Moon - which was released back in 2008.
Starting the week off with some black metal from a seriously promising project - Addaura from Seattle. The track you're about to hear is taken from their 2015 EP And The Lamps Expire. The variety in this piece of music is simply astounding. Enjoy.
Saturday brings sombre surprises. Thank you You Tube for introducing me to the greatness that is Ghost Bath. (The term Ghost Bath refers to the act of killing yourself in a body of water...) This depressive black metal project hails from China and, from what I've heard so far, is well worth your time.
It's been a good while since I've had my ears soaked in the sounds of Peste Noire, and fucking hell, I've missed this band! I currently have the video for Dans Ma Nuit playing on repeat while I work. La Sale Famine de Valfunde remains to be one of my favourite black metal vocalists of… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Peste Noire
I needed a powerful strike of epic black metal, so turned to US based black metal project Utstøtt (which means outcast in Norwegian) and their debut album Hjørungavågr. With influences ranging from Windir to Dissection, the music of Utstøtt is diverse and revitalizing.
Elves Caught Me In The Wind is the title of the 2013 album from Ents, an atmospheric black metal project from the Russian Federation. I don't know much about this band...except for the fact that the music they create deserves your time and undivided attention.
