My sound of the day is from Swedish depressive black metal project Ofdrykkja (which means 'excessive drinking' in Old Norse). Their track Urban Enlightenment of Desolation is outfuckingstanding. Seriously, this is some of the best depressive black metal I've ever encountered...and believe me, I've waded through masses of the stuff. The cold atmosphere conjured is… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Ofdrykkja
I've had Swedish black metal project Nivlhel on repeat for the past two days. Vrede IV from their self-titled debut album is an astonishingly powerful piece of music.
Some powerful, raw Swedish black metal to power me through the rest of the weekend. Blodsrit's 2004 album Helveteshymner is an exceptional piece of blackened art, which grows in strength with every listen.
Relishing new sounds from Swedish black metal project Panphage.
Saiva hail from Sweden and create black metal with dark folk influences. Everything I've heard from this project has been impeccable, and I just wish there was more substance to their discography. At this moment of writing, there's just an EP and a split with Grift. Hopefully a full-length will be added before too long.… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Saiva
I've talked about Draugurinn quite a lot over the years, which goes to show the impact that this project has had on me. I have relished absolutely everything that the outstandingly talented Dísa has produced for this band. She has moved mountains inside my head. The bone chilling track you're about to encounter is entitled Ísavetur… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Draugurinn
Ereb Altor are a band which have released consistently powerful material in the years since their formation in 2003. Their 2015 full-length Nattramn is one more testament to the excellence of this Swedish four piece. Below is Dark Waters, the fifth track from the album.
Really taken with Swedish atmospheric black metal band Humanus Hostia. The track you're about to hear is entitled Searching For... and it's taken from Humanus Hostia's debut album Nostalgica, which was released back in 2011. I would make yourself comfortable, because this track is quite possibly one of the most relaxing black metal songs I've ever… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Humanus Hostia
Some good, solid Swedish black metal to get your week off to a roaring start. I don't know much about Murg, other than the fact that their music is released under Nordvis, one of the most reliable labels out there. The track you're about to encounter is entitled Nejderna brinner and is taken from their… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Murg
Some raw and nasty black metal to finish the weekend off. Tomhet hail from Sweden and the sounds you're about to experience are two tracks taken from their Apokalypsimz Legend cassette which was released back in 2009.
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
