“Most tribute albums are mediocre at best. The biggest problem with tribute / cover albums is that they perform songs from the favourite bands from their youth (that you've probably heard before), and ...”

“As most of these demos by Vlad Tepes are very similar to each other and contain different rehearsals/recordings of the same couple of songs, I won't write a full review for all of them. Furthermore, ...”

“If you wanted to make a list for the Top 4 Vlad Tepes songs, you would probably end up with these 4 songs here! Great riffage, badass vocals, with a fantastic cold, desolate atmosphere. If you like ...”

“The French Raw Black Metal bands of the 90s are one of the most influential acts in the development of this genre and the Depressive Suicidal bands of the 2000s. Bands like Mütiilation, Belketre, ...”

“After the legendary 90s, the Scandinavian Gods of the genre started to fall apart and lose most of their appeal (for me at least!). That's where the German Black Metal scene came to the ...”

“Unlike the previous release by this band, which had a very raw, deep, gritty production, this album has a more cleaner approach, and the symphonic/oriental parts are way heavier, making it feel almost ...”

“This is one of those albums where it's better to just shut up and listen to it! I don't think I can write a full review for this. You can't really talk about its technicalities, because technically ...”

“I'm gonna go straight to the point: This EP is Fantastic! People mostly remember this for its album cover and the controversies surrounding it, but boy oh boy, they should pay more attention to the ...”

“This one is even weirder than the first demo. As I said before, the only confirmed proper demo is the first one, and this one is a compilation of the deleted songs from that and other demos! In the ...”

“This demo is incredibly badly produced. It's very difficult to hear anything. There is a lot of hissing and clicking, but if you listen hard enough you can hear the potential of a legendary band to ...”

“Re-recorded albums are very difficult to like, because most of them ruin the magic and the feeling we get from our first encounter with their original versions. This album is no different, although ...”

“Although Varg said that this was the soundtrack to his role-playing game, I like to see it as the soundtrack to his short lived but interesting YouTube channel! To be honest, it doesn't feel like a ...”

“Well, let's see what we have here... A more audible and louder version of the three songs on the original demo from 1991. "Et Hvitt Lys Over Skogen", an unreleased song from the "Hvis Lyset tar Oss" ...”

“Do you like Mercyful Fate? You'll adore this then! Most people know this band for their industrial metal releases on their later output, but their 80s output is far more interesting. Out of the three ...”

“The first thing that hits you when you listen to this are the deep, chaotic riffs! It almost sounds like late 80s Finnish War Metal / Death Metal bands, but it's definitely BLACK! The gritty and ...”

“Iranian Black Metal never really caught on, which is a bit weird since most of the time oppressed nations create the most pure and angry Black Metal bands! In the 90s and even 2000s, Iran was a very ...”

“Bathory is a band that no one needs to explain anything about! (Quorthon didn't find the need to explain it, so why should we?). It's magic. Black Metal wouldn't have been like it is if it wasn't for ...”

“When people think of Avant-garde Black Metal bands, they usually think of bands such as Ved Buens Ende, Enslaved or In the Woods... Fleurety is one of the forgotten names in this little scene, their ...”

“Old Funeral was one of the earliest Norwegian extreme metal bands. At the beginning, the only bands from Norway were Mayhem, Vomit, Darkthrone, Cadaver, and a couple of really small underground acts. ...”

“Well, as this is just a promo single for the next album, I won't write a whole review. The first song is an obvious homage to Black Sabbath. Even though the guitar tone is a bit loose, it's still a ...”

“Isengard is one of the most underrated little projects in the Norwegian scene. It's interesting, mostly because it's so goddamn different than anything else in that scene. The band's early output ...”

“Let's just say this, gang. This album missed being the best Darkthrone album (or even the best Black metal album) because of a very simple detail: THE VOCALS! Argh! As much as I love Ted and his ...”

“We have yet another B-sides and forgotten songs EP from Widar! I'm gonna keep it short on this one, since I told most of the things that needed to be said about Bilskirnir and its EPs before. Like ...”

“In this release, we have a single, plus a couple of B-sides and rehearsals. The main song doesn't have a particularly memorable riff or vocal performance, and as for the rest of the ...”

“Well, lets start from the beginning. Acoustic intros are rarely interesting, but this one is really nice! "Sonnenwende" has a fantastic harmony, "Feuerzauber" has a fantastic melodic riffing style ...”
