0:25-7:24
FEBRUUS
(Sweden)
Gentrification of the Soul
— Swirling, headchurning proggy death
with a furnace vocalist that annihilates.
8:21-15:01
VUUR & ZIJDE
(Netherlands)
Naakt
— Post-metal, shoe-gaze, post-punk
bliss with chilling waves of black instrumentation and
mood.
15:31-21:10
CEREMONY OF SILENCE
(Slovakia)
Perennial Incantation
— A Best of 2019. Tempestuous
psychedelic death metal and sadistic technical prowess.
21:34-27:46
SEAR BLISS
(Hungary)
Infinite Grey
— 70’s style majestic synth and horns
that add to their ambient black metal, evolving to chomping, fist
pumping earworm and a touch of sludge.
28:14-32:40
DISKORD
(Norway)
Cogged Pother
— Intricate, textural, deeply strange
and amazing stuff. Had one of my favorite albums of
2021.
33:00-38:58
ENDE
(France)
Indigent
— Organ in symphonic, melodic black
metal and the sexiest gruff vocalist.
39:20-44:33
KRALLICE
(NY)
Here Forever
— Yet another brilliant, technical,
experimental Krallice that would fit a moody, sci-fi animated
movie.
45:04-52:34
AKHLYS
(CO)
Maze Of Phobetor
— This vocalist is an erupting
screech, with theatrical synth and a cutting, malevolent,
relentlessly-paced black metal.
53:02-1:03:08
LIMBES
(France)
Aulnes & Poussières
— A howling emotional beast in a
despaired tremelo-forward intense and shimmering black metal.
1:03:42-END
HAIL SPIRIT NOIR
(Greece)
Curse you, Entropia
— A Best of 2016. Psychedelic
avant-garde synth-infused proggy black metal with a fizzy lead
singer.
