Woe has given us a short but incredibly powerful discography with their three albums. Driven by emotion and laden with harmonies, Woe are often referred to as part of this rather peculiar movement called “post” black metal, which I do not really care for and don’t grasp by my own choice. Post as in the
“The Midwest is such a tabula rasa.” – Richard Powers, author As a nearly lifelong Indiana resident (save for a couple of glorious, highly caffeinated years in Seattle), I’ve definitely become acquainted with the ugly side of the middle region of the country. I mean, sure…many of the stories thrown around bear at least a
Hailing from the stomping grounds of Belgrade, Serbia are Black Metallers KOZELJNIK. The band formed in 2006 and have since released: 2 full length albums and 2 EPs. Currently consisting of drummer L.G. and vocalist/guitarist/bassist Kozeljnik (both members of other Serbian BM bands MAY RESULT and THE STONE). This is my first exposure to KOZELJNIK
Hails to Algide! Tell us about this debut EP of yours, ‘Mortifier’, if you will! What can fans expect from these four rituals? This EP groups our first 4 titles. They represent the beginnings of the human destruction. Fans will find there a French Unholy Black Metal! What is the history of Algide? This
What is the history of the band? Where, when and why did you form? Dwimorberg and our ex-bassist formed a band in 2008 in Bordeaux, Obscurisis joined the band at the beginning of 2009 and Anadrark in September.

By this point anybody who knows anything at all about Black Metal should be more than familiar with the workings of France’s, “Aosoth.” With a vocal assault spearheaded by none other than Mr. MkM (also of Antaeus) it’s easy to expect an all-out assault.

Texas appears to be fertile grounds to spawn black metal bands. Only a few branch out into national and international levels. I stumbled upon Humut Tabal a couple of years ago and was perplexed over their unique take on black metal. Instead of pigeonholing themselves, they draw into a vast amount of influences (and probably from within
This split album from Tanquam Aegri Somnia immediately surrounds and assaults the listener with opener ‘Teutoburger Wald’ from Beglium’s Cult of Erinyes. All-enveloping darkness quickly captures the light and silences the crowd with a furious black blasting which continues without relief for quite some time. While the simple chord progressions layered on top of relentless drums
Tell us of your new full length, ‘Place of No Pity’ from Listenable Records! This marks your fourth full album, yes? Yes. This latest album has been out a while here in Australia now, but it has only just recently seen release in U.S. What can fans expect of this album? Would you say it
Hails to Ankou Awaits! Give me, if you will, a brief but brutal history of the band. How, when, where and why did you decide to create music under this name? Greetings! I created the project on a whim in August 2011. I was doing experimental heavily symphonic music under a different project name at
