ABHORIA
(CA)
Sunless
— Rich, dark, technical American
black metal with a majesty of vocal styles and sweet, proggy
guitar.

DET EVIGA LEENDET
(Sweden)
Retch
— Det eviga leendet's vocalist is
Mare Cognitum with 5 anonymous band members in a tight, black metal
racing to the edge of time. Just, intense.
13:32-18:53
CLOAKROOM
(IN)
Dissembler
— Touching, 90’s style indie mixed
with distorted stoner guitar and an angelic shoegaze singer. Just
love this 90’s retrovitalist sounds coming out now!
19:14-24:28
VORGA
(Germany)
Starless Sky
— Vivid, emotional German black metal
with a knife of a vocalist slicing through your thirsty veins, in a
fantastic debut.

Μνήμα
(Greece)
Suicidal Necromancy
— The band name means “tomb”, and
this is as cold, but completely alive in a suffocating black metal,
raw and bleak in energy, collapsing in melody.
31:57-39:17
CULT OF LUNA
(Sweden)
The Silver Arc
— My, my, I dig this album, when I
thought I had outgrown their style. Their gorgeous singer is
brooding and sultry, the music is immersive and meditative, spacey
and even psychedelic. A real surprise.
39:34-48:24
NOCTURNAL TRIUMPH
(US)
The Hammer of
Immateriality
— Desperate shrieks line a brutally
bludgeoning black speed.
49:18-56:56
AUTHOR & PUNISHER

Drone Carrying Dread
— Uber-drums, doom and post-metal
with modern unique twists.
57:19-END
GLOAMUS
(CAN)
When Those Icy Waters Swept Them
Away
— Thrash fun and a black and roll
pace with delicious riffs, and a meandering melodic breaking it
up.
