It took fifteen bloody years for Mörk Gryning to conjure another album. After their self-titled album in 2005 this underground band called it quits. And then in 2019 they managed to surprise me with a superb performance at Eindhoven Metal Meeting. And with the news that they were constructing a new black fuelled album I […]

Kataklysm – Unconquered
I’m most certain that this next band doesn’t need an introduction for how influential and pivotal they’ve been to metal spanning the last three decades. Even if Kataklysm hasn’t found their way into your heart I’m sure they’ve still found their way into your music collection. Almost everyone I know has something good to say […]
Ulver – Flowers of Evil
I know this is a metal zine. I also know that Ulver used to play metal and has somewhat of a cult status. Their metaldays are dead and buried, and honestly, I don’t mind because the musical path they have chosen is one I can only admire. Ulver does what they feel is right and […]
Finntroll – Vredesvävd
To all of you who have been living under a rock the past decades and don’t know Finntroll yet, let me introduce them to you. First of all, you are quite alike. The combination of rocks and trolls seem to be a thing, and ever since they have taken on their new pointy ear look […]
Auðn – Vökudraumsins fangi
If you are into atmospheric Black Metal you surely have heard from Auðn by now. With two great albums in their pockets, “Auðn” (2014) and “Farvegir Fyrndar” (2017), and some great live performances (I managed to witness two) they have become a force to be reckoned with, and now their latest offspring “Vökudraumsins fangi/Prisoner of […]
Black Crown Initiate – Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape
Black Crown Initiate is a band that caught my immediate attention in …2015 give or take. I was simply working around my house with some ear buds in jamming some Pandora, on my Beyond Creation station. I was hit with some beautiful melodies and heavy verses, I instantly looked at my telephone with great curiosity […]
Enslaved – Utgard
Having long forsaken the path of raw black metal, it has almost turned into a sport to see what the Norwegian extreme progessive metal act Enslaved conjure up whenever they announce a new album. The Norwegians are some of the few that have both managed to maintain (a bit of) and musically evolve from their […]
Skeletal Remains – The Entombment Of Chaos
Many styles have seen ups and downs over the years. Some went almost extinct when the next big thing came along, and some just faded away. Others, seemed like they slowly sank into the never-ending hole of styles that had a peak years ago, and would never recover, unless a think rope would be thrown […]
Verval – Beeldenstorm
Dancing across a melancholy horizon at the height of such strange times, Dutch black metal outfit Verval bring us a raw atmospheric experience that is certain to plunge the listener into a dark abyss with no hope of reprisal. Verval is no newcomer to the scene with their formation in 2014 and first full length […]
Warkings – Revenge
Side projects. A lot of times band members like to exploit different genres or influences and venture off to different bands. That’s how special projects are born and about two years ago we were surprised by a band named Warkings. Behind a cloak of secrecy, this band plays power metal best described as a mix […]
