Theirs is a sound that’s intrinsically tied to tradition yet evinces a wealth of weirdness, making their sound both classic and challenging in equal measure. And while their countless […]
if there was ever a band breathing the fire of the ancients, it’s Sweden’s PERVERTICON. Although they’ve only released two full-lengths to date, both records resonate with the rich history and purple-hued mysticism of mid/late ’90s black metal – particularly the oft-misused (and, sadly, largely dormant) “melodic black metal” appellation. From sound and spirit on […]

Hailing from Athens, Greece, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR formed in 2018 Aptly titled Catacombs of Terror, this seven-song/42-minute monolith is suffocating to behold.

And although their debut […]

CONCILIVM was born in 2017, founded by its only two members, A and O, in the cold south of Chile. Inspired by the darkness of death and black metal of the ’90s, wanting to capture all the violence and mysticism in a work, they decide to release their first recording, an EP titled The Veiled […]
Hailing from Greece, CADAVER COILS took shape on Athenian soil during the winter of 2021. The work of one mysterious man, Offerings of Rapture and Decay is the band’s first recording, right after its formation.
