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
Belgrade based dark ambient project Paleowolf has been my sound of the day several times before, and for good reason - the music crafted is sonic perfection. This morning I stumbled across Megafauna Rituals, the project's 4th full-length album, and it's providing the soundtrack to my entire wednesday. How there can be just one man… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Paleowolf
It has been a shockingly long time since I last listened to the genius that is Germany's one man depressive black metal project ColdWorld. I'm going to spend some time over at Metal Archives doing some catching up on what I've missed once I'm done here. I re-encountered ColdWorld while browsing on BandCamp. Oh my… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : ColdWorld
I haven't been listening to much recently. Game Of Thrones Season Six Soundtrack and that's about it. So I've been trying to gather up what I've been missing. I start to feel 'off' if I go for a while without running into some new sounds. Feeling hot, bothered and a bit desperate earlier on today,… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Ragana
I bloody bloody bloody love it when my readers suggest stuff for me to listen to. Most recently I've been shown in the direction of Lisa Cuthbert. a musician based in Berlin. Her (beautifully creepy) Bandcamp page, she describes her sound as... "Ritualistic, electronic doom from the Hex-cave." I've just had chance to listen to… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Lisa Cuthbert
My man, who usually has his head stuck in the early 80's when it comes to music, today decided he wanted to uncover some new BM by the female of the species. Naturally Gallhammer came up when he asked for recommendations on Facebook...and I was sent on a nostalgia trip back to 2007 or whenever… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Gallhammer
I am going to be perfectly honest and say that I wasn't even going to give Behemoth's Nergal's side project Me And That Man a chance...a heard something about jazz and that put me right off. But then I thought to myself 'stop being so bloody narrow minded.' So I ended up firing it up… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Me And That Man
The Queen of the dark Chelsea Wolfe is on fire with the track 16 Psyche taken from her upcoming album Hiss Spun. If I'm being dead honest with you, this is one of my all-time favourite offerings from the Wolfe. The name "16 Psyche" conjures up images of a dusty bar, replete with spirits and… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Chelsea Wolfe
I am fucking obsessed with this cover of Bad Moon Rising by Mourning Ritual. And I'm predicting that in about four minutes you will be too. You're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjgfTfQjCQ
Vulnicura is, I think, of Björk's greatest achievements. The word 'masterpiece' was created for that fucking album, I tell you. Whenever Björk so much as breathes I'm there... At the moment I'm all over her video for Notget, the 6th track on Vulcinara. The song, for a start, is just layer upon layer of perfection,… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Björk
