Winterfylleth are a UK black metal band and this is their eighth album. The Imperious Horizon is the 58-minute follow up to 2020’s The Reckoning Dawn. With a new guitarist in tow, (from Necronautical), how does Winterfylleth’s atmospheric black metal sound in 2024? Very good, let me assure you. I’m a fan of most of Winterfylleth’s ..read more

This is the fifth album from Finnish black metallers Aethyrick. I always have time for Aethyrick’s brand of black metal, so it’s great to have some new material from them in the form of the 43-minute Death Is Absent. If you’re unfamiliar with the band, then as well as this new album it’s also worth ..read more

Firtan are a German black metal band and this is their fourth album. Following on from 2022’s very enjoyable Marter, Ethos brings us 51 minutes of new material from Firtan. On this new album the band aren’t holding back. Overall Ethos is harsher and more menacing than Marter, but without losing its spacious qualities. Firtan are skilled at creating, building ..read more

This is the third album from one-man Australian black metal act Aquilus. Bellum II is the 59-minute follow up to 2021’s well-received Bellum I. In much the same vein as its predecessor, Bellum II is an atmospheric black metal album that makes heavy use of classical influences as well as some folk elements, although this simplistic ..read more

This is the fourth album from UK black metallers Gråt Strigoi. Despite being four albums deep into their career, I’ve never heard of Gråt Strigoi before the wonderful Fiadh Productions put them on my radar. It’s seriously been my loss, as this stuff is so far up my alley it hurts. The Prophetic Silence contains ..read more

I couldn’t miss an opportunity to see Saor again, especially on an event like this – the 10th anniversary of Aura. The entire lineup is good though, although getting to the venue tonight is not without incident, annoyingly. I didn’t manage to catch all of Domhain’s set at this year’s excellent Fortress Festival, so I ..read more

Belore are a French black metal band and this is their third album. Belore play atmospheric/folk black metal, and on Eastern Tales they offer up 43 minutes of music. The material seems to swell out of nothingness to build massive soundscapes that lift the listener up and out of the real world, into the realms of ..read more
