Filed under News, Reviews

Summoned from black pits of swirling and chaotic hatred, Aquelarre Zine is an iron-fist in the face of non-believers who are quick to cry that print is dead while blogging about nothing on their iPad.
Issue 12 is nothing less than what has come to be expected from this Peruvian legend. Large, high quality pages with [...]

ISVIND – DARK WATERS STIR

Filed under News, Reviews

It is truly a great day for mankind indeed. We finally get a proper, and very classy, re-release of one of Norwegian black metal’s finest hours. Having been out of print since its release in 1996 on Solistitium Records (R.I.P.), this was one of those albums that was nothing short of legendary to the point [...]

Armageddon – Necromantic Celebration

April 8, 2012 by Sleepwalker  
Filed under News, Reviews

In my honest opinion, if it’s on Emanes Metal then it’s already a safe and secure metal venture, but a classic thrash styled band with black metal influences that’s a solo act from a man with allegiances to such prominent acts as Lord, Unholy War, and Excruciate 666, this I HAD to hear and it’s [...]

Methra – Methra

Filed under News, Reviews

Tucson sludgesters Methra return with 5 tracks of thick-as-a-brick misanthropy on this self-titled EP. Although the album offers little in terms of cover art and liner notes, the four piece makes up for this slight with clear production and menacing atmosphere to please fans of bluesy dirges everywhere.
The most prominent feature of this release is [...]

Three dark forces are summoned to the ceremony on Apostles of the Apocalypse. Mexico’s Black Torment, Houston, Texas’ Nodens and Italian horde Tyrranizer Order are hell-bent and ready to kill everything on this ritual, a staggering 14 tracks of black / thrash attacks!
Black Torment bring no new material to the sacrifice, other than the ever-so-disposable ‘intro’ [...]

Leper Lord – Altar of Embers

February 28, 2012 by Sleepwalker  
Filed under News, Reviews

Virginia’s Leper Lord have all the right elements in place for a black metal massacre. Crude xerox covers, indecipherable logos, live recordings and bottomless studio mixes spell out the name of black metal for shallow scene charlatans everywhere. Luckily for listeners, 6 unholy ceremonies are contained on Altar of Embers, a furious release that holds non-believers [...]

Chris: Clint, Leo and I were in a band called Orb of Confusion together for a few years [...]
