Petrychor

Some very, very impressive folk/tribal/black metal album. Phenomenal musicianship and songwriting. It's ritualistic and pagan and folky all at the same time. Absolutely beautiful. Well done.

Nachzehrer - Pestilence Hungers in the Shadows

A goddamned headbanger! Nachzehrer play black metal mixed with thrash. Think D666 but more straightforward. Leather Jackets, bullet belts, cheap whiskey by the handle. If any of those sound good to you, check this group of Bostonians out!

Boglord - Total Fucking Eclipse of the Sun

Here is a cautionary tale for all bands submitting here. Please don't say you are a "blackened punk" act when in reality you are a raw black metal band with a decent amount of punk influence. I don't care what you are, I'll post your tunes no matter what. Just don't misrepresent yourselves.

Boglord are a raw black metal band with some punk influences. This demo is kinda sloppy when the speed picks up, so your best bets are the tracks where the speed stays at a stompy level. Not the greatest thing to pass my desk, but far from the worst. Check it out
(ps - any band who has a member who's pseudonym is a drug from the Elder Scrolls video games can't be that bad)

Northward - In Sturmes Wind

Wow. An honest-to-goodness fucking submission that wasn't Post-this, /that, just a good old fashioned cold black metal release with WAY too much reverb and some decent melodies. It's atmospheric, but not slow. It sounds like a demo because it is a demo. The wheel definitely wasn't reinvented here, but that's ok.

Folkstorm - Valavond

Folkstorm is a black metal/folk band that really sounds a lot like what would happen if Agalloch and Falls of Rauros (buy their new fucking album, The Light That Dwells In Rotted Wood, then fucking thank me) combined to create something new. Their first album was good, but this is damn good. This is top notch material and is a must for any fans of folkish black metal.
