  1. Make Them Suffer
    by Make them Suffer
    Epitaph Epitaph
    Four years have passed since their last album, and Make Them Suffer has been through some shit. Yet, they sound stronger than ever. Alex is a great addition to the band, her vocals complementing Sean's very well. The songs are feral, choruses big and bright - and the electronics oftentimes (e.g. Doomswitch, Epitaph) unhinged, ever so often entering glitchy, cyberpunk territory. This might be their best release to date, time will tell. It's definitively a highly impressive one, elite stuff!
  2. The Unconquerable Dark
    by Black Tongue
    I'm So Tired Of Sighing, Please Lord Let It Be Night I'm So Tired Of Sighing, Please Lord Let It Be Night
    I tend to get in my own way a lot - overthinking, overcomplicating things. That's when I need some Black Tongue. The Unconquerable Dark is 9 years old already, but still stands as a monolith of bone-shattering art. Armed with an absurdly low, disgustingly heavy guitar tone and the unquestionably best lows in the scene, this record will hit you with a barrage of numbing blunt force traumata, washing out every grain of unnecessary thought, replacing them with a heap of desolate riffs. Exceptional!
  3. Featherminded EP
    by The Oklahoma Kid
    Ignoranz feat. Consvmer Ignoranz feat. Consvmer
    What The Oklahoma Kid are delivering here is simply fantastic. Right from the first second, this EP is both an aggressive manifesto and a lesson in humility for many scene peers. TOK do not use any extraordinary or surprising elements, they just excel at the basics: 19 minutes of both dirty and emotional singing, varied and disgustingly ferocious harsh vocals (cvlminating in the Consvmer feature), bleak breakdown riffage, tangerinely-tragic melodies and hard-hitting rhythms. EP of the year.

  4. Post Apocalyptic Depression
    by MANTAR
    New Mantar is always a reason to celebrate. If I was to write my memoirs right now, Post Apocalyptic Depression would be an apt title and so I am very much looking forward to what the guys have concocted here! Halsgericht sounds punishing as expected. 2025 is off to a good start! More thoughts following in February.
  5. Scorched Earth
    by Harakiri For The Sky
    I've been longing for a new HFTS album for several months now, and the first single released at one of the both highest and lowest points I've ever been at in life. With Autumn I'll Surrender is phenomenal and I love every second of it: the guitar tone and play so unmistakably Harakiri for the Sky, JJ's desperate, heart-wrenching screams; even the music video is a heartbreaking affair. I couldn't be happier about the announcement and also hope that life will be brighter come the release.
  6. The World Without Us
    by Bonjour Tristesse
    The World Without Us The World Without Us
    It's only been 18 months since the last Bonjour Tristesse - what a time to be alive! The World Without Us is another lesson in melodic, yet bleak and desolate black metal. The two longest cuts are my personal highlights, capable of rending the flesh from your bones with shrieking vocals, unending blastbeats and slicing riffs; and (especially in the title track) I still hear some of those sweet and heart-shredding, tragic King Apathy melodies hidden beneath the surface. Gorgeous suffering!
  7. Trauma | Divine
    by Ethereal Wound
    Divine Divine
    Had a tough morning? Your workday sucked? Your family's despicable? Do you hate yourself? Here's the solution - a brisk 17 minutes of being punched in the balls, proudly presented by Ethereal Wound! Trauma | Divine has one thing, and one thing only, in mind: dismantling whatever is left of you after listening to its predecessor. There's no need to overanalyse this - the melodies are great, but it all comes down to a barrage fire of riffs and drums, supplemented with coarse, hateful vocals. Up!
  8. سووشون
    by اکوان (Akvan)
    سووشون سووشون
    Inspired by Simin Daneshvar's novel of the same name, سووشون combines Iranian history, musical motifs and instruments under a black metal structure. I wish there was even more traditional instrumentation, but the tar solo piece is one I will be able to feast on for a while. Other than that, it's belligerent and microtonal black metal, the first two songs having English-language lyrics, while the last one's are written in Persian and, given the subject matter, particularly grim. A strong release!
  9. Międzyczas
    by Odium Humani Generis
    Granice Granice
    Międzyczas is exactly what I need Polish black metal to be - melancholic, gloomy and desolate, without ever losing its indifferent and nonchalant nihility. Lustro paves the way for a plethora of low-life misery, gripping melodies (one better than the other!), my beloved audible bass, and casually tortured vocals. Hitting the middle of its predecessor's runtimes, Międzyczas' 42 minutes absolutely fly by, always leaving me wanting more - and therefore hitting play again. A genius release!
  10. Portal
    by Häxenzijrkell
    Beri'ah Beri'ah
  11. Êra
    by Asarhaddon
    Ein letzter Frühling Ein letzter Frühling
    Predictability is mostly regarded as being something negative in music, and I agree to an extent. It can also be a boon, and that's the case with Asarhaddon. Their sound relatively stays the same throughout their discography - and thus they always create excellent records. Êra, their newest triumph, is no exception. From the stirring, emotional vocal performance and lyrics to the sublime riffs and drums, this is a heart-wrenchingly sad, captivating and outstanding performance. Pure catharsis!
  12. DIGITAL DEATH
    by LAZERPUNK
    ULTRAVIOLENCE ULTRAVIOLENCE
    To be fair, Ultraviolence is the best track I've heard this year and I did not expect any other title to surpass it. Still, Digital Death is packed to the brim with bangers - be it Oldskool, Energy, No Pity for the Weak, No Competition, the list goes on. Most of these songs could feature in the next John Wick movie, and Lazerpunk truly cements himself as a master of all these different styles. A well-rounded, highly addictive record. Phonk, synthwave, cyberpunk - it's all here, it's all great.
  13. Fatwa
    by Infidel Terror Campaign
  14. Eiger
    by Aara
    After binging through the Melomoth trilogy earlier this year, I am beyond excited for the release of Eiger! I absolutely love stories like this one (immediately thought of Antrisch and their excellent albums), and Felsensang already is a brilliant and atmospheric piece of black metal. December 6th, Eiger shall be scaled in the most black metal ov ways: inebriated, devoid ov hope and with a stoic face. This will be good!
  15. Hljómbrot
    by Skynbrögð
    Hljómbrot II Hljómbrot II
    Hljómbrot once more upholds the high quality standard of Skynbrögð's release catalogue, and stays true to its name - 'sound fragments of fractured chords'. It indeed sounds very much chipped apart, yet it does so without entering any artificial or glitchy sounding realms. It is bright, big, cohesive and immersive - think of the mosaics in St. Peter's Basilica, where the tiniest parts are arranged to form a beautiful and seamless picture. A delighting piece, and a transcendental one. Superb!
  16. Listfengi
    by Skynbrögð
    With a refreshing 25 minutes, Listfengi is one of the shorter Skynbrögð releases. Another core aspect is the collaboration with Andrés, who provided guitar work and (arguably not that easy to detect) vocals that both very much form the identity of the piece. JTS' synth soundscapes are the groundwork, and he went all in once more. Synthwise, this might be the most 'modern' sounding release yet, and that's absolutely no downside. This versatility is a blessing, and Listfengi a gentle beauty!
  17. by Skynbrögð
    Introspection is important. How is one supposed to cope with today's world without knowing what is needed and happening inside? Ró is Skynbrögð's attempt of some sort of guided meditation, a hidden staircase into the depths of consciousness. Various vocal techniques, field recordings and ethereal synthscapes are used to great effect! I've listened twice in a row, taking a long look at the starless chasm inside. Ró will lend you a hand and show you the way. The work is yours to do. Compelling!
  18. Vetrarnáð
    by Skynbrögð
    Disclaimer: closing your eyes and focusing whilst listening is mandatory.
    Skybrögð truly lives up to its name - sensory trickery - and Vetrarnád is another prime example of it. For half an hour, I was amidst an Icelandic winter and you could not have convinced me otherwise. German winters are mostly boring and muddy, so this experience was stellar. Howling winds, whirling snow, a cold creeping into marrow and soul - those are just some of my impressions. You should experience it firsthand!
  19. Truflun
    by Skynbrögð
    Again, the wise bmurator sums it up perfectly! If one knows how to write music correctly, one can write it incorrectly - in the correct way. The orchestral intro is just that: subtly off key at times, (gorgeously) challenging and noble. The ambient part, or 'interference' is a comfortable blanket of mood and white noise, and I could lose myself in it for days. Truflun is a treat and another Skynbrögð release making me see things in my mind's eye. Much more to say, no space left. TLDR: brilliant!
  20. Drómi
    by Skynbrögð
    Unfortunately I missed the listening party due to being stuck in Iceland, but Drómi is entrancing and wondrously estranging all the same. These 42:42 absolutely fly by while weaving in your feeble, sickly body into a sticky, reticulated, protective cocoon of comfort. As much as it is dark ambient - this is not the abyss gazing into you! It's much rather the auspicious, whispering darkness in the darkest hour of the night; an enigmatic promise of fulfilment. Dreamlike and estranging indeed...
