Deliverance Lost - Death of White Raven (EP Review)

Tracklist:

1. Black Sun    
2. Empty Forest     
3. Newborn 
4. Dying Light
5. Rise and Fall 

This is the second release from the Russian depressive atmospheric black metal project Deliverance Lost. This is the second EP from the project this year, the first being Tears Of White Raven which I reviewed four months ago, and still remains my favourite EP of 2015.

This EP was released two days ago at the time of writing this, and it is safe to say that this was an anticipated release for me. The album starts with the track Black Sun which feels as though it is a clear continuation from the projects last release, with its howling vocals, powerful drum work and the use of the same type of ambient static that a gave Tears Of White Raven a very unique atmosphere. This track is soon followed by my personal favourite track on the album Empty Forest, this track is an instrumental and features the best drum and keyboard work on the entire EP, it has a superb atmosphere of desperation, and isolation which is cleverly conveyed. Newborn, the third track on the album lacks the atmospheric quality of the of the first two, instead replacing it with more great howling vocal work and gloom ridden riffs to create a pure depressive black metal track, that is fairly different from the other tracks on this EP. The final two tracks on the EP are Dying Light and Rise and Fall sadly these tracks don’t really musically bring that much in the way of either atmospheric or depressive sounds, instead the two tracks are pretty dull and a little drab.

This brings me to my problem with this EP. Even the best track on the release (Empty Forest) suffers from a loss of purpose and direction around half way through, and sadly this is present on all of the tracks. The first three tracks all have extremely strong beginnings, but suffer at the half way point until the end of the song with a loss of drive, and this really affects the listenability of the EP.

Personally comparing this to Tears of White Raven is very difficult as that EP is almost unbeatable when it comes to modern depressive atmospheric black metal in my opinion. Therefore it is clear that this EP does not match up to the projects first release, but to look at it on its own terms without comparison elsewhere it is a pretty decent release from what is still a very new project.

3. Separation III 
4. Separation IV 
5. Separation V 

Side B - Steadfast Resilience 

6. Steadfast Resilience VI     
7. Steadfast Resilience VII 
8. Steadfast Resilience VIII 
9. Steadfast Resilience IX 
10. Steadfast Resilience X 

This is the fourth full length album from the independent North American based solo naturalistic/isolationist black metal project Sapthuran which is helmed by Patrick T. Hall. This particular album was released some months ago back in August, but it happened to escape my attention until now.

The album features a strong mix of consistently powerful drum work and crisp atmospheric riffs which are backed by what I think is the albums strongest feature, which is the vocal work. The vocals never take front and centre stage, instead they seem to ominously dwell in the dark sonic reassess of the album, providing a blend of animalistic rage and slow calculated precision. The album also features some interesting usage of classical and instrumental instruments, along with keyboards, that when used within the album, make an impact and give the sound a little more depth and variation.

My only real issue with this album is its use of ambiance between tracks, after what felt like every track an indescribable blend of noise would begin, never being the same after every track, but always failing to provide anything to the album’s overall sonic vision. One particular piece of ambiance that sounded like a prolonged recording of a dog whining was so annoying I was genuinely relived when it was over.

However, overall this is very good album despite its issues with ambient noise as in the grand scheme of things this can be overlooked as there is far better things to focus upon within the album.

Shadowland - Последняя ночь перед бурей (Last Night Before the Storm) (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Забытые ручьи (Forgotten Creeks)      
2. Последняя ночь перед бурей (Last Night before the Storm)     
3. Ночью,в поле (At Night, in the Field)      
4. Тайна тумана (The Mystery of Fog)      
5. Сияние (Shining of...)      
6. Навстречу зиме (Towards the Winter) 
7. Неизведанные тропы (Unexplored Trails)

This is the fourth full length from the prolific independent Russian one man atmospheric black metal/ambient project Shadowland. This is the third full length to come from the project in 2015, and is again helmed by GorDan. I previously reviewed the projects third album Through the Curtain of Falling Leaves which you can check out here.

This album like its predecessor is very synth focused, with much of the sonic driving force being provided by the very sharp and light playing of GorDan. This album however also has some very melodic, and at times very powerful drum work that accompanies the synth very well for much of the first half of the album, it does however decrease in the albums latter half. Vocals are not very prevalent on this record, although when they are used, they are harsh, raw screams that clearly have some powerful emotion behind them, or a soft almost spoken work like chant that also conveys great sadness.

The use of ambience and samples is also well done, especially with the use of bird calls (mostly ravens from what I could tell), these provide a certain natural gloom that gradually builds throughout the album, and is helped by the fact that instead of distinct riffs the guitar work on this album is more like howling wind in the background.

I personally think that this is the best release from the Shadowland this year, and is well worth a listen for fans of depressive atmospheric black metal and ambient black metal alike.

15. Docile Subjects      
16. Mean World      
17. The Eulogy of a Crushed Romantic 

This is the fourth and most recent album from the UK based blackened crust punk/grindcore band Fukpig.

I wouldn’t normally take the time to review a blackened crust grind album, but I had to make an exception when it came to this band, firstly because their from my hometown, and I firmly believe in supporting your local extreme music scene, and secondly because they have managed to create an album that through pure rage and sonic fury can kill a man at ten paces.

After a short and sweet intro, the album kicks into gear with a sequence of the best tracks on the album (2-6) that left me unable to predict what was coming next due to a relentless blend of raw vocals, powerful drum work and some very crusty riffs that just manage to poke their heads through the medley of hatred. One feature of the album that did come as a surprise was the use of operatic and orchestral samples as backing on some tracks, this gave them a very sharp and crisp edge that allowed for some variation throughout the album.

Overall this is an absolutely great example of a genre blend that has come together and succeeded perfectly in delivering its intensions, which in the case of Fukpig are probably a series of firm kicks to the face.

Revenge - Behold. Total. Rejection (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Scum Defection (Outsider Neutralized)      
2. Shock Attrition (Control in Decline)      
3. Wolf Slave Protocol (Choose Your Side)      
4. Mass Death Mass      
5. Mobilization Rites      
6. Silent Enemy     
7. Desolation Insignia     
8. Hate Nomad      
9. ETHR (Failure Erased)      
10. Nihilist Militant (Total Rejection)

This is the latest full length from the Canadian War Grind/War Metal duo Revenge, which is comprised of James Read on drums and vocals and “Vermin” on guitars and bass.

First of all, I know this isn’t black metal, but I decided to expand the genre horizon of the blog, so if you don’t like it, dig a ditch and die in it.

The album begins like all Revenge albums do, with a firm sonic kick in the teeth of every listener. From the very first second of the first, and possibly best track, Scum Defection the album makes it clear that like all of Revenge’s discography it is actively trying to skull rape you with loud savage and untamed noise of the most chaotic nature.

Musically the album is very hard to classify, although it is clear that there is slightly more structure in terms of clearly defined, but still insane, riffs and drum work compared to the bands superb 2012 full length Scum.Collapse.Eradication the album still retains a constant wall of hate noise that cannot be broken by even the most fanatical amongst us. The wall of noise however is not being used as an excuse to hide poor vocals or musicianship, on the contrary this album probably features the best talent from the band, everything from the pummelling drum work to the almost vomit like vocals and screams and the buzzsaw guitars is sharply and purposefully executed.       

I feel like this album compared to previous Revenge albums and perhaps to other war metal bands such as Goatpenis or Conqueror, has a certain sharp edge that seems to come from the almost indistinct lines that the albums draws between tracks leaving the album with a surprisingly fluid feel, despite its pure sonic nihilism.

Overall I really think that Revenge achieved something special with this album, I think it’s the bands best release to date, and I think that this could well be a contender for my album of the year,

So if you’re looking for a nice CD to put in your loved one’s stocking this Xmas look no further, you can watch their faces fall as they are ruthlessly wound fucked by pure nihilism while you cave your turkey and contemplate your own misanthropy.

Dusty Old Demos - Nhaavah - Kings of Czech Black Metal

Tracklist:

1. Death 
2. I'm Satan, I'm God 
3. Hate 
4. Xenophobia 
5. The Law 
6. War 
7. Nhaavah

This is the first, and one of only two editions into the discography of the now defunct Czech black metal duo Nhaavah which was made up of ‘Vlad Blasphemer’ (R.I.P. 2015) and ‘Barbarud Hrom’. Both men were/are members of the band Maniac Butcher also based out of the Czech Republic.

Where to begin with this one, well a good place I suppose is to say that it fucking sucks. Never before have I encountered a black metal record that was so shoddy in every conceivable way that it felt like a parody, until now. In fact I sincerely hope this is a parody or troll of some kind because if it isn’t then I really think that the reputation of black metal as a whole has been tarnished in some irrevocable way.
 
So why exactly does this demo suck just so much you ask? Well first of all this entire demo sounds like a $5 promo for a discount drum machine, as every single track on this release has the fastest, most repetitive and obnoxious drum programming I  have ever heard, once it begins it simply doesn’t let up. Couple this with nearly inaudible riffs of the most boring nature and vocals that sound like a cheap parody of Sargeist and you have the steaming sack of mess that is this demo.

If you think I am overplaying just how bad this release is, I dare you to listen to it all the way through and still say I’m overblowing it, go on I dare you.

Frankly however, the saddest thing about this release is that I actually own it as part of the bands self-titled compilation, which I now seriously regret buying blind. But let this serve as warning to not only me but also you fine people, don't buy black metal on ebay while drunk, because you might just end up with something like this dropping like an unwanted turd through your letterbox.    

Dusty Old Demos - Tears Of Evil - The Spirit of the Pagan Temple

Tracklist:

Side A - Side Tears 
1. Culth 
2. Jesus Execution 
3. Death in Pains 
Side B - Side Evil 
4. Darkstorm 
5. Christians Must Die 
6. Sacrifice 

This is the one and only release from the now defunct Polish raw black metal band Tears of Evil. This demo was put out in 1995 and featured ‘Lord Sidragasum’ on vocals and bass, ‘Lord Succor-Benoth’ providing guitar work and ‘Lord Viper the Son of Satan Sperm’ on drums. This trio never went on beyond this project to make any other black metal, or any metal at all for that matter as far as I can tell.

Considering this demo only clocks in at around ten minutes, it is hard to really get an in-depth listen to any of the tracks, all of which seem to have grindcore run times, and generally feature about as many blast beats. It is also fairly hard to even hear the bass and guitar work as for the most part all that can be heard throughout the demo is Lord Sidragasum’s rather dull vocals and the aforementioned blast beats. This leaves the demo sounding more like a ten minute production malfunction that left out riffs, and originality.

To be perfectly honest I generally enjoy this kind of raw basement production, but something about the constant and repetitive drumming, default black metal vocals and lack of riffs really raised my hackles on this one, I would not recommend it, even if it is only ten minutes.  

         

 

Afsky - Afsky (EP Review)

 

 

Tracklist:

1. Frosten knuger sjælen i

2. Et sidste farvel 

3. Velkommen til dødsriget 

This the newly released debut EP from the independent Danish atmospheric/depressive black metal project Afsky.

The album begins with the rather odd track Frosten knuger sjælen I graven (The frost clenching his soul in the grave) which seems to blend elements of depressive black metal with some post, folk and even traditional heavy metal to create what in actuality is a bit of slow let down. Although this track does feature a good guitar solo that would feel at home on a Celtic Frost record, it just stands out awkwardly on this release.

The second track on the album Et sidste farvel (One last goodbye) is nothing to really rave over either, only in the case of this track it suffered greatly from a lack of originality, ending up as a fairly slow and ultimately aimless song that in my opinion didn’t really contribute a great deal.

The last track on the album however was great, it perfectly demonstrated the musical and vocal capabilities of the band in a whirling storm of raw screams, blast beats and mournful riffs. Velkommen til dødsriget (Welcome to dødsriget) is a superb track, and definitely the highlight of this release.

Overall, this is by no means ground-breaking material, and for the most part is sadly rather dull, but it is partly redeemed by the EP’s last track.

Dusty Old Demos - Nazgul - Omne Est Paratrum

This is the first in a new series that will focus upon reviewing obscure, overlooked and often forgotten demos from black metals past that may otherwise not get talked about on this blog.

Tracklist:
1. Eccidium
2. Ante Bellum

This is the 1998 debut release from the now inactive, possibly defunct Italian black metal band Nazgul which was formed of “Thornset” on guitar, bass and vocals, “Zakrathor” on keyboards, samplers, drums and further vocals, and “Dominus Aperorum” providing more vocal work.

The first thing that makes this demo stand out a little more than most is that it somehow manages to at times blend light symphonic and pagan black metal music with extremely harsh depressive screaming vocals and sometimes even death metal vocal styles and chant. The use of keyboards and horns is pronounced along with drum playing that could easily pass as programming, while any kind of riff work is reduced to background static and is almost pointless.

The finest aspect of this demo is its overall bold and purposeful sound that has a driven determination to plough straight through the listener and keep going, it certainly will not be for many people because of the often bizarre style transitions that can happen suddenly and without warning in the middle of a track.

If I had to compare this demo’s sound to another band it would have to be the 2006 album La Sanie des siècles - Panégyrique de la dégénérescence from the French band Peste Noire, as the two records seem to share a certain affinity in my mind.

Scáth Na Déithe - The Horrors Of Old (EP Review)

Tracklist:

1. Their Warning                     

2. The Savage Hunger of the Dead                 

3. Within These Walls They Wait for Death               

4. An Sluagh

This is the debut release from the newly formed two man, Irish, death metal influenced black metal project Scáth Na Déithe (Shadow The Gods). The project is formed of Cathal Hughes providing Vocals, Guitar, Bass and Synth, and Stephen Todd on drums.

This is more of a two track EP if I am perfectly honest, the first and last tracks are very short ambient instrumentals that don’t really provide anything. However the second and third tracks each run in at around the ten minute mark and are fairly impressive.

The sound of these tracks is a solid blend of very death metal inspired vocals and often depressive and gloom ridden riff and drum work that comes together to create a very oppressive and heavy sound that is pretty impressive.

Considering this is the very first release from these guys it is encouraging to see that some clear dedication and effort has gone into this release, however whether the kind of sound the project is focusing upon would play as well on a full length is one we will have to wait and see.

Algor - Úder Pohanského Hnevu (Album Review)

Tracklist: 

1. Vzplanutie slovanskej nenávisti

2. Pohanský boj 
3. Vládca zimnej krajiny
4. Čas odplaty 
5. Výzva k pomste
6. Slovanská krv
7. V objatí lesnej ríše 
8. Príchod bielej kráľovny
9. Moc ducha pohanského
10. Tajomstvo jaskyne

This is the first full length release from the two man Slovakian raw black metal project Algor. It was originally released in 2003 and saw Aldaron providing Vocals, Guitars and Bass, and Miroslav "Slavfist" providing drum work.

I was lucky enough to be able to get hold of a cassette copy of this album so I thought I would write a review on it rather than the bands most recent full length release Hierofánia from 2013.

Right from the first few moments of the first track I was impressed by just how raw and frankly crude the band’s sound was, each track is like a panzer division of snare beats and hatred ploughing straight into your face.

The only moments of calm are probably the slight pause between each track, which gives the listener a few seconds to catch their breath before the assault begins again.

Aldaron provides extremely abrasive vocals, and thankfully manages to make himself heard over the often dull and repetitive drum work that consists of almost nothing but blasting snare beats. This dull drum work is the album’s biggest let down, as it constantly distracts from the other more enjoyable musical elements, such as the often cold aggressive riff work of Aldaron. The obnoxious drum work however is as much a mixing problem as a musical one, and considering how low-fi most of this album is, some slack may have to be cut.

Overall this is pretty enjoyable raw black metal record that is by no means anything new for its time, but is still very much worth tracking down, especially as the cassette adds to the raw atmosphere. 

         

Shadowland - Through the Curtain of Falling Leaves (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Last August Rain     

2. Dead Soul     

3. Victoria     

4. Victoria (Part 2)     

5. Fright of Coming Winter     

6. Non-Existent Skyline     

7. Through the Curtain of Falling Leaves     

8. Cold Autumn Wind 

This is the third full length release from the recently formed and prolific independent Russian Atmospheric/Ambient black metal project Shadowland.

Considering the large quantity of atmospheric black metal projects around at the moment I don’t get the chance to listen to as much of the genre as I would like to, but this project really caught my ear after I heard the seventh track off the album Through the Curtain of Falling Leaves.

This is, for the most part, an incredibly powerful and downright beautiful album that perfectly mixes an abundance of inspired synthesizer work that has a strong resemblance to dungeon synth with more conventional black metal elements such as harrowing screams and melodic riff work.

However, for me this albums highlights were its moments of dungeon synth, the tracks Victoria, and Victoria (Part 2) really showcased some of the best playing but good synth work is prevalent throughout almost every track on the album.

My only complaint about this album is its length, it comes in at just under 65 minutes which is perhaps a little too long, and I did find that it was beginning to lose some direction and momentum towards the final few tracks, especially the final track Cold Autumn Wind which left the album’s conclusion a little flat with its sudden shift in style to distorted and drone like ambient.

However despite a few issues this is still a good release, and one that is well worth taking the time to check out if naturalistic gloom driven synth infused black metal is your thing.

Grift - Syner (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Aftonlandet  
2. Svältorna    
3. Det bortvända ansiktet   
4. Slutet hav    
5. Undergörare    
6. Eremiten Esaias

This is the very recently released debut full length from the Swedish one man black metal project Grift, this album see’s Erik Gärdefors playing all instruments and providing vocals. Erik Gärdefors has been involved in a number of projects before Grift including a now defunct solo project called Haemophilia. This album was released less than two weeks ago (as of time of writing) and comes some months after the project did a spilt with the also Swedish black metal project Saiva.

Having only just discovered Grift through this album I was surprised by just how expertly crafted the sound was, the album in fact features some very good production quality for a first full length.

The sound itself is an interesting blend of mournful epic black metal with strong currents of depressive and post black metal. These elements alongside some acoustic influence give the album a very rich and crisp sound that works extremely well with the often cold painful screaming vocals of Gärdefors.

Overall I think this is a superb release that shows an incredible amount of promise for future work from the project, Grift really is one to watch.

Kalmankantaja - Muinainen (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Hautasaattue 
2. Yön alttarilla 
3. Mustan usvan takana (Instrumental)

This is the latest and seventh full length from the prolific two man Finnish depressive black metal project Kalmankantaja. It features “Grim666” providing all the musicianship, and “Nagh” providing vocals.

Considering just how prolific this band has been since being formed in 2011 it is surprising that they continue to put out quality music, for example in 2014 the band put out four full length albums, Ikuinen taival, Ahdistus, Musta lampi,and Viimeinen virsi all of which are well worth listen.

This album starts off with clear intent with the first track Hautasaattue which is in my opinion the best track on the album, as it features some stunning melodic gloom displayed through raw and painful riffs that work in perfect harmony with the choked cries and screams of Nagh. This track really does draw the listener into a long and harrowing trail of nature, isolation and depression.

My only problem with this album is the final track, Mustan usvan takana which is a dull and pretty repetitive instrumental based mainly on ambiance and uninspired keyboard playing, this is a real shame as it gives the albums conclusion a very drawn out and needless feel that leaves it a little flat.

However, despite its problems this is still a good depressive black metal album, with strong riff’s and superb vocals, I highly recommend you check it out.

Nocturnal Depression - Spleen Black Metal (Album Review)

Tracklist:

1. Elégie                      

2. L'isolement             

3. Acédie                    

4. Méditation grisâtre              

5. Un immense désespoir        

6. Remords posthume             

7. Spleen Black Metal

Originally released back in May of this year, this is the seventh, and most recent album from the French depressive black metal project Nocturnal Depression, helmed by “Lord Lokhraed” (Grim Landscape, Aghone). Since being formed in 2004 the band has been extremely active and have put out at least one release of one kind or another almost every year since their inception.

As a fairly long-time fan of the band I was very much surprised to find that this album had escaped my dragnet, thus I am only coming to it now.

Nocturnal Depression’s full lengths have never failed to impress me and this release is no exception. Everything from the masterful and atmospheric guitar work, to the occasional use of classical instruments such as a violin and a cello and of course the incredibly powerful and heartrending vocals of Lord Lokhraed give this album an incredibly emotionally desolate feel. It isn’t simply grim and almost forcefully depressive as some DSBM and depressive black metal projects are, its darkness comes very naturally and feels very organic.

For fans of depressive black metal this is must, and fans of Nocturnal Depression will not be disappointed at all, this is a stunning album and one I encourage all of you to check out.

Thornium - North Storms Of The Bestial Goatsign (Demo Review)

Tracklist:

1. In the Depths of Northern Darkness                       

2. North Storms of the Bestial Goatsign                      

3. Min Vandring Till Mörkrets Furste

This the first release from the then solo Swedish black metal project Thornium, then helmed by “Thyph” (Thypheus), and it was released completely independently in 1994.

As you can probably already tell by the cover artwork for the release, this is cold raw and bloody viscous black metal of the kind that was thankfully so popular in Northern Europe at the time.

Everything about this demo literally screams hatred and a grim fascination with the occult, everything from the guttural and raw vocal work to the not very complex but still effective riff work has a certain distinct element of insanity that is fairly hard to capture.

This is by no means a ground-breaking release of its time, nor is it even that original really, but it is still a very solid demo that is well worth a listen if you’re into raw black metal.

15. "...I stand to gain nothing..."   

16. Soul Amputation         

17. Hidden Between The Paths...                

18. Bele'zaghal Diplocephalus

This is the third full length album from the now defunct black metal/ambient project Vrolok based in the USA, and it was originally released in 2005. This album see’s the projects leader “D.” return once again, to, in this case, provide Vocals, Strings, Percussion, Organ and Samples. 

D. is also joined by “Lurker” of Blasphemous Crucifixion who provides the drum work on this release.

This album has some strong, interesting chaotic elements that are built manly upon its very raw and fairly unpredictable sound which is clear from the very begin of the first track. The album does lack any definable structure, and the tracks themselves are crafted in such a way as to leave the listener overwhelmed by the swirling riff work and the pounding drums.  

D.’s vocal work is also very unusual, it regularly shifts from tortured screams to clear whispers, and then shifts to Gregorian chant without missing a beat.

The album also has an intentionally rough and very experimental feel to it that increases the previously mentioned chaos, and gives it a very gloomy and dense feel that is almost impenetrable.

Overall considering the album’s length (over 70 minutes) combined with the general bizarre lack of structure this album is a solid example fairly experimental black metal that perhaps doesn’t always hit its mark, but generally keeps the listener interested and engaged with the music.   

Fimbul - Vinterland (Demo Review)

Tracklist:

1. Vinterland               

2. I de norske skoger              

3. Nattevandring                     

4. Stillhet

This is the first release from the raw Norwegian solo project Fimbul helmed by Ramn, this demo was released in 1995 and is one of only two actual releases from this project.

This demo features some very pronounced influences, specifically from Darkthrone as much of the vocal and riff work is very reminiscent of albums such as A Blaze in the Northern Sky and perhaps Transilvanian Hunger, although it is far harsher here.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how well drums were used in this release, the track Nattevandring utilised some very powerful snare work that gave the track a sense of force and motion.

The final track on the album also displays great musicianship, Stillhet is an instrumental keyboard track that gives the demo’s conclusion a very cold atmospheric feel that was sublime.

Overall I would say this is a superb release, and I am eagerly anticipating the upcoming new material from the Fimbul project due to be released later this year.
