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 […]
Season of Mist
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 […]
Interview with Julien from Benighted
Tony from Metal-exposure: Hi Guys, I’m glad that you are able to take the time and have an interview with us at Metal Exposure. Thank you, man! My pleasure! Tony: Your latest album “ Obscene Repressed” was released in April. Can you tell us something about how this album came to be ? Julien: I […]
Earth Rot – Black Tides Of Obscurity
Recently, a band that goes by the name of Earth Rot has slowly emerged from the shadowy scene of Australia and even though I passed by the name a few years back with other material that they put out, none of it stroke me enough to wait and wonder about it. I’ve seen their logo […]
Benighted – Obscene Repressed
Benighted is a Death Grind band from Saint-Étienne, France. Forming in 1998 and releasing their self titled album in 2000, these guys have been at it for a long time and it shows. With 9 albums under their belt, Benighted did not hold back at all on their newest album “Obscene repressed” VIA Seasons of […]
Medico Peste – ב:The Black Bile
When I first listened this venomous piece of work called “ב:The Black Bile” Mgla came into my mind. Well…I wasn’t very far off since members The Fall and E.V.T. are live musicians of the above mentioned band. Luckily Medico Peste, active since 2010, has an own face and balances between a more melodic Deathspell Omega, […]
The Great Old Ones – Cosmicism
Lovecraftian Black Metal. An indulgence of atmosphere….. dark, chilling, gloomy yet resonating with aggressiveness. One of its predecessors Tekeli-Li was already a brilliant album taking Lovecraft’s mysticism to new heights. “Cosmicism” is a branch from the same root. Dark, haunting, dwelling and intriguing. Tonally it breathes the same atmosphere as the previous album(s) yet these […]
Abbath – Outstrider
Since Abbath has left Immortal we are being treated upon not only one, but two great acts. Immortal still exists and released the excellent “Pagan Northern Gods”. Luckily our favourite Black Metal clown Abbath has pursued his musical endeavours solo, spawning its excellent self-titled debut a few years back. Doesn’t mean that this Bathory devotee […]
