    KATO - Conflagration [EP, 2022, Black Metal]

    This initial EP from KATO, Conflagration, delivers layered and caustic metal, turning inwards to assail our deceptive consciousness. Sounds like the savagery of Funeral Mist mixed with the psychedelia of Oranssi Pazuzu. https://katokosmos.bandcamp.com/ Composed, recorded and mixed, 2021 KATO...

    Revenge - Infiltration. Downfall. Death

    Revenge - Infiltration. Downfall. Death Osmose Productions - OPCD 201 - 25 February 2008 By George Grant I suppose that with an album of this nature a precaution is in order. For those out there that find little to no artistic validity in rabid blasting, frenzied vocals and a wall of...

    Frost and Fire vs. King of the Dead

    Both classic albums, there's no doubt about that. However, King of the Dead stands above. It's a much darker and heavier album that really showed the strengths of all the players in Cirith Ungol.

    Topper - Once A Punk, Always A Punk Wild Kingdom Records - KING026 - 2006 By George Grant When one thinks of Scandinavian punk, crust is usually the preferred style. However, for Sweden’s Topper this is not the case. This foursome looks towards a much earlier inspiration in the form of...

    Dornenreich - In Luft geritzt

    Dornenreich - In Luft geritzt Prophecy Productions - Pro 097 - 9 May 2008 By George Grant Metal bands and acoustic albums have a hit or miss relationship. Obviously the classic Ulver album Kveldssanger stands as an example of the artist able to apply their music in a different realm...

    Urskumug - Am Nodr

    Urskumug - Am Nodr Ledo Takas Records - LETA 019 - 30 April 2006 By George Grant Forgive my ignorance, but an electronic buzzing alarm is hardly something I would expect to hear on a self-described “tribal black metal” album. Luckily for Latvia’s Urskumug, such mislabeling can ignored...

    Endstille - Endstilles Reich

    Endstille - Endstilles Reich Regain Records - RR 126 - 24 September 2007 By George Grant The war imagery applied to Germany’s Endstille for their newest album Endstilles Reich should be fitting for their raw black metal style. However, the production and mix for the album brings the...
