Auspicium - For the World that Was and that is to Come
My fourth LP as Auspicium. I'd like to think its the best one yet, but judge for yourself. Atmospheric black metal. 6 songs.

Just another plug for my other blog, I've complied a nice mixtape of lesser known 2nd wave acts from Norway. Maybe you know 'em, maybe you don't. You can download the mix here and read about it/get a tracklisting here.

New slab of black metal-cum-extra doomy death metal via Black Chalice. The songs are on a whole longer than Years of Flame, with more riffing for stoned headbanging, and enough dark melody and decaying atmosphere to satiate the black metal palate.

Post rock influenced black metal, but in a way you haven't heard it before. Simply amazing, I can only hope for more. One man act from one of the dudes in Fell Voices (the drummer I think).Posted by Flesh Monolith at 9:45 PM 3 comments

Two sick fucking bands. Mania plays psychedelic black metal that rips shit up (there is some sick flute work here too!). Huldrekall is more straight-forward, but mixes it up enough to keep it interesting as fuck. Download this or fucking die.

So while recording is going on for the next Auspicium album, here is an interim EP. One new song, one rerecorded song, and a song from that next album.

Newest WF poop. I hope it ruins everyone's holiday season. Has a cover of the seminal (semenal?) twee-pop song Emma's House by The Field Mice.

A strong black metal demo, with plenty of atmosphere, yet straightforward at the same time, perfect for banging your heads to. Watch out for these Brits, because if this demo is an indication of what is to come, I think they should be on your radar for a while.

New Nuklearenpest demo. I enjoy this one more than Consigned to the Black Plague, which I didn't dislike but was not one of my favorites. Raw, atmospheric black metal.

“...Riding atop the recent wave of black metal/noise hybrids who combine the bleak frosty riffs and blackened ferocity of underground BM with blown-out and corrosive strains of industrial noise (see also WOLD, Emit, Grief No Absolution, Enbilulugugal, Vargr), the Australian one-man band Nekrasov has so far made a substantial mark in the realm of extremist necro-racket with a series of limited edition, brutally abrasive albums (Cognition Of Splendid Oblivion, The Form Of Thought From Beast, etc) that have mostly been self-released, save for some recent offerings on labels like Siege Of Power and Chrome Leaf. Early on, Nekrasov's sound was steeped in caustic noise, a blazing industrialized black metal assault that was doused in heavy levels of irradiated distortion and Merzbowian skree. But more recently, it's mutated into less metallic regions, alternating the hyperblast black metal with forays into crushing, demonic wall-noise and blasted ambience. Now, Nekrasov is back with a new full length (the first for Crucial Blast), and it's the most advanced slab of their blacknoize terror that we've heard so far. An octagonal prism of isolationist drone, flesh-rending mechanical black metal, abstract otherworldly beauty, claustrophobic industrial dread, and the most violent, suffocating strains of harsh noise, Extinction is pure cyclonic contempt for humanity.... ” via Crucial Blast

Newest full-length from the best Tragic black metal act out there. Don't go into this expecting anything, there are so many influences that slapping a genre tag doesn't work on this. This will be out at the end of the week on Bandcamp and iTunes, so please buy it if you like it!

Here it is, the long awaited and delayed third Auspicium long-player. Nick from Disguster contirbuted leads and vocals on "The Imperialist" that are great. The packaging and layout by Ninth Meridian Records are great, so please make sure you buy a copy if you enjoy it.

Hellige is from Argentina. They play a blend of doom and black metal. It is reminiscent of The Axis of Perdition and TWTTG-era Blut Aus Nord.

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.

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!

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)

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 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.
