Report | DIONE – Cosmosphere

            Endlessly fascinating and symbolic forms are found in the regions outside our earthly sphere, and LDB, who concurrently masterminds the dissonant black death auras of EMBARLA FIRGASTO, has spawned a lawless new embodiment of their wonders. Its ancient Greek designation of DIONE is also shared with a Saturnian lunar entity, and notable encounters take…

Report | TIR – Awaiting the Dawn

            The wondrous landscapes of Australia are matched by its profuse musical talents, and both qualities are joined on this newest meditation from TIR, which also orchestrates an enchanting union between the dungeon synth and dark folk genres. Its potency is illustrated promptly on “C’est La Fin (Part 1),” with solemn guitar and violin acoustics…

Analysis | DREAM UPON TOMBS Answers a Deathly Summoning on Palaces of Dust

            A specter lurking in the Australian necrosphere has revived its shadowy presence from the 90’s, and after conjuring Marble Nights of Ecstacy amid 2020’s accursed era, DREAM UPON TOMBS now follows that EP with a first full drift through sepulchral edifices. The likeness of past haunts is easily recognized on Palaces of Dust, where…

Report | NEMESIS SOPOR – Firmament

            Black arts forge ahead on the newest offering from NEMESIS SOPOR, and different features align within its extremity to liberate multifarious aural dimensions. This is observed at the onset of “Detritus,” where ominous effects launch into blasts and disturbed tremolo layers, and these progress with dissonant and elevated points while clean strings create ethereal…

Analysis | KOLD Revels in Solitude on Intet Mere Er

            Winter may be done for this year, but its icy effects are easily prolonged by this Danish duo, who’ve now followed 2021’s self-titled debut EP with the first full exposure to KOLD’s elemental wrath. This name pointedly depicts the harsh but equally alluring realms of their homeland, which become manifest in the aural storm…

Report | AD OMEGA – Aphelic Ascent

            A new venture into the mysteries is currently radiating from Italy, with the intensity of its formulas striving to reconfigure the cosmos, and their ominous shapes are apparent right from the opening notes of “Dysangelium.” Tremolos evoke dread as a heavier dissonance sets in among glaring riff pulsations, and blasting paces drive a frenzy…

Partaking in the Dreaded Sacrament – An Interview with KRVNA

            A nightside intoxication persists from the bloody offerings consumed through For Thine is the Kingdom of the Flesh, with their potency carrying the immortal reign of KRVNA to greater levels of triumph. After my review indulged in this feast for the blackened senses, Australia’s decadent crypts were unsealed once more for a conversation with…

Analysis | SERMON Preaches Extinction Through Till Birth Do Us Part

            Colossal forces have been heralded in the return of SERMON, who’ve awakened like the Ancient Ones from a slumber dating back to 2004, and these Turkish doom-purveyors seek to reclaim the prestige of their early demos with a vengeful resurgence. This 2021 revival was followed by three new tracks unveiled last year, and now…

Report | DOOMAS – R’lyeh

            The Slovakian cultists DOOMAS have called forth their latest manifestation of dread, which is titled after the lost mythical city where Cthulhu dwells, and R’lyeh captures the essence of that nightmarish realm in its deep aural currents. This atmosphere is conjured through various elements, including a stormy and oceanic introduction on “Cult Yog-Sothoth,” and…

            Annihilation has arrived in a mutual plague cast by THE SINISTER INITIATIVE and AVANTGARDE MUSIC, which joins prominent artists from entities including MANES, AJATTARA, and SHINING into the malignance hailed as HØSTSOL, a name aptly reflecting the bleakness perceived before imminent demise.
