Newsletter #48 - December 2nd, 2022
Greetings,

Winter is coming. Not much to highlight, other than a few new albums and EPs released over the last month which are now streaming in full, namely Deströyer 666, Drudkh, Bloodaxe, Black Lava, Der Trauerschwan, Ofermod, Whiskey Ritual and Veilburner.

Also, the likes of Thy Darkened Shade and Enslaved revealed the details and some new material from their upcoming albums, due for release in January and March respectively.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Venom's "Black Metal", the album that started it all, celebrated it's 40th anniversary on the 1st of November, so go ahead and give that a mandatory spin.

That's all for now, enjoy.
