SXIII An album that is as subtle as it is triumphant in its atmosphere. One of my favorites from 2022; and one I keep returning to as repeated listens turn out to be ever so rewarding. Favorite track: Scattered Shields.

H.L. I got a recommendation for that melodic black metal album so I listened to it and when the third track "Dusk" appeared I bought it. What an impressive, epic and touching track! Full of suffering, soul and melancholy, but with an energetic glimpse of hope. A "loop"-song which I can hear 10 times in a row. The rest of the album is also strong. Most remarkable are occasional female vocals and unearthly guitars which create a dense atmosphere. Hot candidate for my annual TOP 10! Favorite track: Dusk.
Funeral Fog

Funeral Fog Majestic black metal, it's hard to describe just how beautiful this album is!
Shapeshifting
Shapeshifting thumbnail
Shapeshifting Dutch black metal never fails to amaze me especially from members coming from the tight knitted scene where Laster, Turia, Fluisteraars, Iskandr etc have guided the way. Thanks for delivering another gem for the years to come! Favorite track: Cloaks of Valor.

1.
With sharpened blades Our eyes widened We ride onto Our chosen path Certain be death But with righteous hearts We will stand strong As queens and kings We shall rule Beloved ones salvaged The lands secured Show no remorse To those holding you back Victory is near The world be ours Embrace the darkness! Embrace the night! There, beyond the mountains Redemption will be found Souls connected Our bodies united Eager for significance  We fight until the end
2.
The sun blackens The earth sinks into the sea Gravitating towards a malevolent future What will become of us? Colliding, hiding Behind mirrors Mirrors shielding us from our glance Fragments of an illusion Showing our true nature A blackened sun reflected in our shields
3.
Dusk 07:51
Step into the light And look through the flames The image becomes clear The beauty of a familiar face Safe and secure Laying in your arms Waving the day away As we face the dusk Our lonely hearts rejoiced Slowly but steady Cold bones scorched The internal fire ignited What will happen when night falls When we wake up together I do not know but Let this adventure last forever Safe and secure Laying in your arms Waving the day away As we face the dusk
4.
Cataclysm 05:14
A shrouded shadow Cast by a dark force Its purpose unknown Its shape obscured How can I fight this evil? Spears turn to dust Every attack seems To be futile I have no choice but to flee The clouds follow me Hunting me down Following my every step Depths below me Hands clawing at my feet It has got me Here it ends The light gets dim While getting pulled under I look down and I see Myself
5.
As I saw the forging Of a heavy heart Gaining strength, growing Still not knowing
6.
With swords we wove the web of battle Wearing the cloaks All shades of red A cloud darkens the horizon A cloud drenched in blood The threads are cut Our destiny fulfilled We are the flow We are the ebb We are the weavers We are the web Tides of the universe Ever flowing Ongoing
