Love, Peace, And Understanding? Mörk Gryning’s new record is a testament to persistence, legacy, and controlled intensity.
An elegy of frost and fury, expertly delivered. Raw, punk-ish black metal in near perfection: “Songs of Blood and Mire” by Spectral Wound.
Runemagick will release their new studio album “Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms)”, on 31st October via Hammerheart Records. The band unveiled “Wyrd Unwoven” to give an impression of the record.
