I didn't realise that my head needed some black metal heavily influenced by the primitive sound of the old days...but when Nachtzeit popped up on my Bandcamp search, and it was actually massively listenable, I was so god damn appreciative. The project Nachtzeit is manned by the Swede behind ambient OMBM project Lustre, and its… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Nachtzeit
My knowledge of German black metal isn't all that brilliant to be honest, but I was still a bit taken aback that it's taken until 2017 for me to listen to Apathie, an astoundingly solid project that formed in Oberlausitz way back in 2009. Better late than never though, right? Right. I was on Bandcamp… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Apathie
I wouldn't call myself a dedicated Enslaved follower. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed much of what they've put out since 2004, but I'm a sucker for their second BRILLIANT album Frost, released back in 1994. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eDL01w2wC8&list=PLC24C4CA72F1D72D5
I would like to apologise for the lack of new Black Metal recently. I was getting disheartened by most of the stuff I was coming across (again) so have been burying my head in Rammstein and Lindemann. It has been quite nice actually though, as it was a good while since I properly listened to… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Loth
I am a long-term fan of Rammstein, and believe frontman Till Lindemann is one of the best vocalists and lyricists out there. So, when I discovered, the other night, that he had a side project Lindemann, I was on it like rot latches onto a corpse. I was immediately obsessed with the album he's released… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Lindemann
New masterpiece of an album from one of my all-time favourite projects Kalmankantaja. Listen below and enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chWNUusdzgk
I don't know anything about the background of female black metal duo Asagraum...but I do know that they create out-fucking-standing black metal, with some of the best vocals that I've heard in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe7Bpd1Fj_E
If you are a long-term follower of Wyrd Words & Effigies, you will remember an interview I did with Icelandic director Ragnar Bragason where we talked about his groundbreaking movie Metalhead (Málmhaus). Well, some great news came my way today, and that is Metalhead is now available on DVD and BluRay with English subtitles. I've… Continue reading Metalhead – Now Available With English Subtitles
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.
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
