This interview was originally posted on A Hex On Your Head, but I figured it could do with a share here too, as I know some of my wolf pack will appreciate it. Well, isn’t this fucking something! We got Beyond Man for you. A few weeks ago, I threw an email at Meghan with… Continue reading An Interview With Beyond Man

In 2004 we lost one of the most innovative Black Metal musicians to have ever breathed... And I am not saying this lightly. Terje "Valfar" Bakken, the founder of Norwegian band Windir spawned an entirely new sub-genre of BM known as Sognametal. Today would have been Valfar's 39th birthday, and in his honour I've put… Continue reading Wyrd Words & Effigies Playlist 2 : In Memory Of Valfar
Have I been living in a cave for the past several months or was Darkthrone's 16th album Arctic Thunder something of a monumental flop? (Though I have to admit I'm a sucker for the album title which was, for the record, the name of a Norwegian heavy metal band who were active from the mid… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Darkthrone
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
It's been ages since I've given Norwegian black metallers Mistur some attention, which is strange because I'm normally up to date with the sounds coming from Bergen way.

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
I've been thinking about my favourite Burzum release a lot recently, so made the time for Filosofem today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ZVkESecXk
The Hyperborean Shadows Series is an ongoing feature that will focus on the dwellers of Scandinavia, and their portrayal of northern landscapes, cultures and traditions through different forms of dark art. There are so many incredible visions being realised in Scandinavia in this age, and I firmly believe that the creatives behind these visions need… Continue reading The Hyperborean Shadows Series : Norwegian Rat
Another bad day for new music, so have turned to Ulver, and a remastered version of their 1993 album Vargnatt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcL7pNV-ftk
