Είδος: Pagan/Atmospheric/Melodic Black Metal Χώρα: Γερμανία Εταιρία: Trollzorn Records Έτος: 2022 Η Γερμανία είναι κραταιά δύναμη στο heavy, speed, power και thrash metal αλλά είναι ηλίου φαεινότερο πως τα αρκετά τελευταία χρόνια έχει αξιόλογη σκηνή και στον ευρύτερο χώρο του black metal. Χάριν συνεννόησης, θα τοποθετούσαμε τους Timor et Tremor στον χώρο του Pagan Black Metal. Pagan κυρίως λόγω της θεματολογίας που όντως καταπιάνεται με ιστορίες γερμανικού παγανισμού. Βlack λόγω της μουσικής τους προφανώς αλλά εδώ θα πρέπει να το δούμε λίγο λεπτομερέστερα. Το “Realm of Ashes ..read more

Genre: Black Metal Country: Italy Label: Realm & Ritual, Nigredo Productions, Wine & Fog Productions Release: June 2021 LUM is one of the latest Black Metal proposals hailing from Italy, something that triggers our interest a bit more, as our neighbors have a long tradition of occult BM bands. The duo was formed last year and three months ago they released their first EP entitled “L’Feu e la Stria”. LUM’s first effort is something like Egypt: it’s full in contrasts. On one hand we are dealing with a very eerie approach to reality, with a sense of inhumanity, while on the other hand we ..read more

Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal Country: Hellas Label: Drakkar Productions Year: 2020 Drama Noir is one of the rising Hellenic bands in the field of atmospheric Black Metal. They appear to be very active as in just 3 years since their creation; they present their second complete effort, in less than 2 years from the first one. Their debut “Princess Airam” was -at least- promising but “A Necromancy Lore” comes to succeed and surpass it on all levels. With improved and bulkier production, impressive artwork cover, but mostly with better compositions. There is a deliberate shift to more Black Meta ..read more
