Peste Noire - Ballade cuntre lo Anemi Francor
Third album from these awesome Frenchman. I haven’t listened to the second album but this album is more “up beat” compared with the debut but still filled with excellent compositions that get under your skin, also features weird interludes that give it a unique mood. A bit short but still an incredibly enjoyable release!

Sterbeklang - Leere
Amazing atmospheric black metal from Germany; simple yet effective melodies with fast monotonous drumming transport you into a world of pure trance, this is so well made that you won’t even care of the unoriginality. Highly recommended!

Distorted Cognitions - Incipient/Proletariat
Utterly insane industrialized black metal from this mysterious one-man band. This stuff sounds like it was recorded by fucking robots in some post-apocalyptic wasteland; the sound is beyond distorted and filled with earsplitting effects, ugly and utterly brilliant!

Bloodoline - Storm & Brilliance
One of the more underrated albums out there, released in ’05, this is one of my personal favorites from Spain. The album is full of memorable songs, the riffs are just insanely good and the vocals add a slightly psychedelic feel, everything is just perfectly apocalyptic and reminds me of both early and later Dodheimsgard. An absolutely mandatory listen!

Cascadian BM movie
I recently received an email from a Mr. Charles Spano, who is planing on creating an "experimental documentary" on NWBM. In his own words:
"This short, experimental documentary will combine B&W, slow-motion portraiture of members of the Cascadian Black Metal community with footage of them in wide, color landscapes, and non-digetic interview audio. I DO NOT in any way want to try to analyze or explain Black Metal culture, rather I’d like to give a deeply impressionistic view of members of this community. This will largely be accomplished with the emotive and aggrandizing qualities of portraiture which, using slow-motion, building sound design, and forest and snowy locations will have a genuine epic feeling."
At least it probably won't be as bad as "Until the Light Takes us". So if this is something you wanna see, go to his website and read more on it.

Triumphator - В частицах памяти

Hell
Aptly named, Hell conjure a horrowing and oddly bleak atmosphere with this tape. Mixing black metal, sludge, ambient, and drone, Hell gets your head banging and at other times it gets you holding the sheets tight. The juxtapositions are clear, as one track trudges in a super heavy and dark sludge tone, then goes to long stretches of noises and other effects eventually back to riffs. Black metal in terms of atmosphere, production, and vocals, sludge in terms of structure and guitar playing, and overall droning. This is the USA Hell, from Oregon.
I really like this, very minimal, and a great mixture of sludge/doom and black metal. Similar, but very different than Fleshpress (a lot less sludgey, more attention to atmosphere and all things grim). Highly recommended.

Kathaarsys - Verses In Vain
Second album from this excellent Spanish band. Really well made progressive black / death metal, song-writing and production are both of the highest level; musically sounds like a black metal version of Opeth. They’re currently on a European tour, be sure to support them if they play near you, also for those into technical stuff like Ephel Duath, check out their last album, it’s available for download on their myspace.
