Burzum – Umskiptar
Well another year, another Burzum album. Which is somewhat odd, coming from the guy who swore up and down that the more obscure something is, the more it defaults to being “better” than most things based on that simple fact alone and that less is more for many years. Maybe there’s a contract inked somewhere
ISVIND – DARK WATERS STIR
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

As a four-piece Norwegian black metal band comprised of an impressive line-up that includes current and former members of 1349, Gorgoroth, Dodheimsgard and Mayhem; Nidingr now offers forth their latest infernal hell storm in the form of Wolf Father.

Burzum – Fallen
“You ever heard those Norwegian death metal bands? They are scaaaaaary!” And so goes many a conversation in a bar by jackasses feigning that they have some sort clue… The brainchild of the infamous Kristian “Varg” Vikernes (I’m assuming the “Count Grishnackh” moniker was either ‘killed off” or has taken a backseat since his prison stint),
Furze – Reaper Subconscious Guide
From the outer fringes of Black Metal come Norway’s Furze, whose new full-length CD, Reaper Subconscious Guide (Agonia Records), continues to explore the essence of trance and ambiance, the genres of doom and sludge, and even the mixture of pace and form. The end result may challenge traditionalists, but those looking for a new approach to Black
1349 – Demonoir
Beginning in 1348, the Black Death (or bubonic plague) wreaked merciless havoc across much of Europe, piling the bodies to the sky and eventually killing off thirty to sixty percent of the continent’s population before all was said and done. It was around October of the year 1349 when an English ship filled to the
