With the release of their debut full length titled Desolate, released on Season of Mist Records, Ophidian I has launched themselves into the upper echelon of technical Death Metal supremacy.
Season of Mist
Vreid – Wild North West
With the world being a crazy place at the moment, somehow it feel barely two years ago since Vreid brought out their previous album Lifehunger. It took quite a while before I started to appreciate that one. Being a big Windir fan, I always had (maybe have) some difficulties accepting that Vreid is not just […]
Altarage – Succumb
I have to confess that this review took me way too long to write. Even as I decided that alright, now I’m going to sit through the night and put my thoughts into words for you to read, I didn’t manage to, and when I did, I felt the need to erase everything and start […]
Nightfall – At Night We Prey
Nightfall is a Symphonic Black Metal hailing all the way from Athens, Greece. Considered as the main influence that brought Black Metal to the Mediterranean region. Nightfall has been tearing up the world with their unique metal style since 1991 and have a lot to show for it. But for this VERY long overdue review […]
Seth – La Morsure du Christ
I have a lot of fond memories regarding Seth; listening to it when I was discovering Black Metal. Together in the car with one of my best friends….riding to Amsterdam visiting Gothic parties and listening to Black Metal along the way (you know who you are matey ;)). With old gems such as Les Blessure […]
MÖRK GRYNING – Hinsides Vrede
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 […]
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 […]
Gaerea – Limbo
When offered Gaerea’s new album Limbo, I was happy to take it on me. I’ve seen them play live more than once, I knew they were a good band, but listening more carefully to Limbo got me realizing they need more appreciation from my side that they’ve had so far. When pushing the play button, […]
Carach Angren- Franckensteina Strataemontanus
Haunting, conceptual, fantasmic, theatrical; Netherlands’ Carach Angren certainly know how to tell a story. Carach Angrens ability to use a composition as the canvas to carry a literary theme throughout the entirety of an album is something that must be acknowledged and appreciated. Its as if each song fits together like a chilling piece of […]
