Review: Doodswens – Lichtvrees

Review: Craft – White Noise And Black Metal

It took me a while ’til I managed to give “White Noise And Black Metal” a full spin. Craft took several years to write, create, and evolve their latest output, turning it into a dark and twisted piece of music. It’s one of those records

Deafheaven post first song of “New Bermuda”

“Brought to the Water” is online, the first track of “New Bermuda”. No big surprises, but excellent black metal. Dunno if I expected that from a band like Deafheaven. Somehow I wished for new influences to their music, but getting a straight black metal-song is

Check out the debut album of the danish black metal project Myrkur

Myrkur, hailing from Denmark, raised a lot of attention with the release of their debut EP via Relapse Records last year. Ok, that’s not 100% accurate. Myrkur is in fact only one woman, a classic one-man-show so to say. Her music combines raw black metal
