Yesterday was basically dedicated to Swedish one man BM band Hadanfard. I've lost could of how many times I've listened to Skuggornas Lonndom from the 2014 EP Destruktiva reflektioner.

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.

Swedish BM band Grifteskymfning is the latest project to claw at my attention. I'm currently enjoying their 2011 demo Likpsalm.

Nothing could start the day better than a round, or several, of Norwegian blackened rock band Slegest. I've enjoyed everything Ese (former Vreid guitarist) has put out there with his fucking awesome project, but the track Ho Som Haustar Aleine is my all-time favourite.

I required something soul crushingly heavy this Monday morning. Swedish BM band Ondskapt have done the job.

I've been getting an immense amount of enjoyment from French black metal project Askrinn. Amazingly, there's only one guy behind this astonishing wealth of captivating, dark sound.

Sound Of The Day : Bergraven

Starting my Sunday off with some Swedish black metal. I've recently discovered progressive bm band Bergraven and have been enjoying their 2007 full-length Dodsvisioner. I usually approach progressive/post bm with a level of skepticism because, more often than not, I'm let down. But Bergraven have demolished any doubts I may have harboured.
