Newsletter #49 - January 4th, 2023
Greetings,

Happy new year to all, and I hope a Merry Christmas was had. Did Santa bring you those Burzum vinyls that you asked for?

The traditional downtime during December means that there is not too much to cover this month, however some highlights of bands that have new albums up for streaming would be Misþyrming, Dødsengel, Hate Forest, Veilburner and Order of Nosferat, while the likes of Drowning the Light, Bizzarekult, Abysmal Lord and Total Hate have recently put out new tracks from their own upcoming albums, which are expected to be released in the coming months.

Last but not least, Foscor have recently recorded a cover of The Cure's 1992 song, "This Twilight Garden", if that takes your fancy.

Enjoy.

Regards,
Imperator

A good Black Metal album from a pretty good band from my country, but this is not necessarily an album that I will listen to every day, honestly, because the bad points of this one are big and drop the bar of quality. You will see, I'm really ambivalent towards this album. In this review, I will not separate good and bad points from each other like I do normally, because it will be weird to write.

Firstly, I'm not a big fan of the voice of ...

4.1 star rating

Unlike the previous Drudkh album, which was a throwback to the old school Drudkh sound, this, their latest, does seem to be going in a completely different direction. It's much shorter than the previous one, and the riffs are MUCH more traditional tremolo-picking rather than Drudkh's unique expressional approach that we know and love. The drums are much lower in the mix and rely more on fast double bass drumming (which is one of the weaknesses of ...

The current Australian Black Metal scene is one of the strongest scenes ever, but back in the 80s, there were virtually no bands going for more obscure metal sounds (or indeed anything other than AC/DC!). This band was probably the first Extreme band to come out of the land down under! Their original demos are incredibly rare (even on the internet!) so we will focus on this excellent compilation.

First of all, the songs are almost randomly ...

I encountered this album on YouTube and immediately assumed that this was a Swedish band. When I checked out their Metal-Archives page I was a bit shocked to find out that this is actually a band hailing from the land of the free!

I think this shows the diversity and variety of the current USBM scene in general. Gone are the days of Darkthrone plagiarism that was so common in the 90s USBM scene! This band is one of the bands which tries to ...

Based on a recommendation, I had the pleasure (or displeasure!) of listening to this band's debut full-length (titled "Chapter One: Across the Mountains of the Drämmarskol") a while back. Unfortunately, it was a bit too "melodic" for my taste, and I didn't really enjoy it. Which is odd really, I expected to hear some Master's Hammer worship on it since I saw the title "Epic Black Metal" written on its Metal Archives page! I don't know, but I ...

A pure masterpiece, this is what this album is. I have never heard something like this before. The first time I listened to this, I was shocked. I was like, how is it possible to make something this good? In my opinion, this is the best Black Metal album ever made, or a least in the Top 3, and I'm going to explain to you why I love this album that much.

I'm going to start with the good points. The riffs are indescribably good, it's insane. On ...
