DEMON KING
(TN)
And He Shut His Eyes in
Anguish
— Members of Inferi in a tight,
intense fury of speed and death and breathtaking complexity of
magical guitar fingers.
6:45-13:28
FAGUS
(Germany)
Neptun I
— You try saying this band name out
loud. Their black metal gently cradles, and compositions
enrapture with snarling vocals.
13:58-18:59
ASTRIFEROUS (Costa
Rica)
Blinding the Seven Eyes of
God
— Costa Rica coming up with sinister
atmospheric death metal and beautifully unique guitars.
19:30-23:22
QWÄLEN
(Finland)
Kutsu Minua Saatanaksi
— Finnish alien energy and raw
demonic black metal with a romping punk attitude.
24:08-30:12
IGNOMINY
(CAN)
Nightmare Bacteria
— Porous, dissolving modern death
with wailing guitars and standout vocals that are a textural
throaty punch.
30:36-42:26
OERHEKS
(Belgium)
Een Oude Wijsheid Werd hier
Geveld
— One-person black metal that wrote
in beautiful isolation surrounded by an ancient forest.
42:59-47:26
FLUISTERAARS
(Netherlands)
Dromen van de zon
— Aching loveliness, gaze and tragic
melodies within an acerbic and raw black metal.
48:30-54:17
ENSLAVED
(Norway)
Forest Dweller
— Loved the clean vocals and strummed
meandering. Even though sweet moments, still
Enslaved.
54:56-END
FATHOMAGE
(AU)
Light of the Eternal Dawn
— Donovan-recommended. Drops
becomes torrential becomes typhoon. Shrieks bolt across the
sky. A one-person romance of delicate and razor-edged black
metal.
