YouTube surprised me this morning with a new track from Norwegian blackened folk project Myrkgrav. I first encountered Myrkgrav several years ago, and have always enjoyed the offerings from Lars Jensen when I've caught up with them. So naturally, I was somewhat saddened to hear that Jensen's forthcoming album 'Takk og farvel; tida er blitt… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Myrkgrav
Really relished this feature on the Haute Macabre blog featuring the astounding designer Hogan McLaughlin and his passion for Black Metal.
Darkthrone have a new album on the horizon - Arctic Thunder - and the other day Fenris treated us to a one track preview from the release, Tundra Leech, and included a little analyses too. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/heavytassen/01-tundra-leech-premiere

There's something very special… Continue reading Soun Of The Day : Ygfan
