Review: With The End In Mind – Tides Of Fire

With The End in Mind’s “Tides of Fire” is a colossal undertaking, a blackened ritual crawling from the Pacific Northwest’s rain-soaked soil. Across three extended compositions – totalling nearly 48 minutes – the band attempts to ignite both personal and planetary collapse into something transcendent. It’s a

Review: Helheim – HrabnaR / Ad vesa

Helheim’s twelfth studio outing, “HrabnaR / Ad vesa”, is the first record where songwriting duties have been split between the band’s two main songwriters.

Review: Der Weg einer Freiheit – Noktvrn

With “Noktvrn” , Der Weg einer Freiheit depart further from their icy, feral beginnings and drift into more introspective terrain. The result is a curious, often compelling record, haunted by restraint, marked by experimentation, but not without moments of uncertainty. This is not a misstep,
