Nibiru - Demo 2004

First and only release by Nocturnal Overlords (ex-Crimson Moon) project; This is pure occult atmospheric black metal / ambient. Half of the demo is black metal and half ambient, no vocals are used everything is instrumental, and the atmosphere created is spot-on; Very much in the vein of earlier works by Crimson Moon; Really incredible dark music, hopefully we’ll see more of this project.

Dawn - Slaughtersun (Crown of the Triarchy)

Mandatory compilation by this incredible Swedish horde; started out as a death metal band (The Eternal Frost) but later changed their sound to a more melodic black (death) metal sound similar to Dissection, Noctes or Sacramentum. This release covers basically all of their discography (emitting two early demos) and needless to say it’s essential stuff!

Morte - Irresponsible Misanthropic Existence

Punkish black metal from Italy, really short ep with four songs, there's really not much to say, 10 minutes of pure simple crusty black metal, quite enjoyable; A must for fans of Malveillance, Bone Awl and the like!

Sombres Forêts

Great new one-man band from Canada; Sombres Forets plays slower paced majestic atmospheric black metal; excellent use of synths, usually in the background to create a dark mood, also prominent is the use of the acoustic guitar, quite a few songs feature tastefully done acoustic breaks. The new album is particularly good, there’s a distinct improvement over the great debut.

Toil - Obscure Chasms / Under The Axe Vol.4

Debut album from Lurkers (ex-Vrolok drummer) main project, he’s aided by Wraigh of Nazxul fame. Rawish dark black metal, the first half of the album is more melodic in a post-punk kind of way, while the second part is on the rawer side. The production is great and there are some really memorable parts, the biggest downside is the short length of the release, the last song is basically a 10 minute outro, a bit unnecessary in my opinion; that aside, “obscure chasms” is a quality debut and I’m looking forward to future releases.

An excellent compilation featuring mostly black metal with some thrash and doom bands. All the songs are exclusive, although I’m posting this mostly for the Toil song the other songs are just as good, especially by Esprit Dérangé, Marks of the Masochist, Black Vomit & Brobdingnagian.

Lux Occulta

One of my favorite bands from Poland. Lux Occulta performs unique, challenging, majextic and emotional music that very few bands can recreate. My personal favorite is “My Guardian Anger”, truly an amazing piece of symphonic / melodic black metal, which through the years hasn’t lost a bit of its brilliance! The other releases are just as good, the debut has some excellent doom elements, and Dionysos is definitely a classic in the genre. On the last album they turned to an avant-garde sound, mixing elements of trip-hop, jazz & industrial with extreme metal, a great album, but in my opinion not on level of their previous releases.

Blackdeath / Leviathan - Totentanz II / Portrait in Scars

Split album between the Russian Blackdeath and Leviathan. Blackdeath performs some rather average black metal, the vocals are good, but the drum machine basically kills it for me; definitely not their strongest moment. Leviathan’s side on the other hand is pure brilliance, the material is in the vein of “10th sublevel…”, the songs are really great; and “mine portrait in scars” is definitely one of my favorite Leviathan songs.

Nazxul / R.I.P. Greg Morelli

Legendary Aussie thrashers MORTAL SIN have issued the following update:

"Our long time friend Greg Morelli, guitarist of NAZXUL was tragically killed in the early hours of Thursday morning November 20th in a motorcycle accident. As many locals would know a huge storm hit Sydney last night and Greg was riding his motorbike home and hit a greasy wet patch on Parramatta road North Strathfield.

Greg's death will be a huge loss to the Australian metal scene and of course the international black metal scene. The new Nazxul album had just been completed and Greg was really looking forward to getting back out on the road and we had also talked about the possibility of heading over to Europe for some shows next year. Greg explained to me that the new album was sounding like they finally wanted to sound like, and was really proud of what he had achieved.

I hope all the black metal fans out there will raise their horns tonight for Greg. Rest in peace mate, you're a fucking legend."


A sad sad day for (black) metal, but his work in Nazxul will live forever!!! Rest in peace.

Iuvenes / Leviathan - Live In Eternal Sin / The Speed Of Darkness

First split release by Leviathan, with the Polish horde Iuvenes. Iuvenes plays old-school black / Viking metal, in the vein of Bathory; nothing special but done right. Leviathan’s part is, unsurprisingly, the highlight; tortured black metal with amazing atmosphere. The production is more distorted and dirty then other Leviathan material, and it just adds to the overall feeling of despair. Definitely one of my favorite releases by Wrest!

Non Opus Dei - VI: The Satanachist's Credo

Third album from this great underrated band, NOP performs excellent “modern” black metal, closest musical comparison would probably be “the exhibitionists” release by Secrets of the Moon. The musicianship is top-notch, and the overall production is great; the release comes with a 20 page booklet with very nice artwork. A release worthy of your time!
