            Darkness gathers for this latest exercise of Rhodian black metal, with Μαρχωσιάς being the first SHAVALYOTH piece to feature a new drummer and vocalist alongside their two original members, and this expanding lineup is paralleled by the collective of infernal entities raised within. Synths intriguingly carry the essence of an otherworldly domain on “ΎμνοςContinue reading “Report | SHAVALYOTH – Μαρχωσιάς”

            The ongoing events in our world today inspire a grim outlook for times ahead, and such bleak futuristic realities are pinpointed by DECOHERENCE, who’ve now unveiled Order as their third full venture into hostile dimensions. This title is contrary to the aural chaos engaged on “Closed Timelike Curves,” after an ominous presence builds atmosphericallyContinue reading “Report | DECOHERENCE – Order”

            The human essence is plagued by a multitude of afflictions, and their psychological marks drive the creative forces surrounding FORGOTTEN, a new Hellenic specter that recently offered its first meditation on those forlorn influences. A classic rawness outlines the blizzard commencing on “Is This the Gift You Call Life,” with an immense burden reflectedContinue reading “Report | FORGOTTEN – Whispers of Existence”

            Depravity and ruin are rampant among our foul species, and EXAVERSUM has mercilessly channeled those tendencies into a second full anti-humanitarian act from within Mexico’s ravaging lands. Enmity advances to the militant drumming of “Windward March” before charging ahead on the title track, and a fierce arsenal is wielded during its attack, where blastContinue reading “Report | EXAVERSUM – Caterva Anti Elite”

            The vilest of infernal rites have left their mark on Portugal through NETHERMANCY’s latest conjuration, and the aptly titled “Ghouls: Intro” initiates this mass with its dingy temple ambience before harnessing madness on “The Fall of Man.” Its eerie-noted onset is compounded when vocals slither into the ceremony, and they spew wretchedness among aContinue reading “Report | NETHERMANCY – Worship Evil Sacrifice”

            Malevolence reigns over Finland as DARK ELITE unleashes their second full-length phenomenon, and its imposing magnitude strikes instantly in the oblivion of “Forever Dwelling Nothingness,” with blast beats launching havoc alongside a multi-leveled riff barrage. The hostile cosmos is melodically elevated by other constellations rising within the mass, and they possess a dreary allureContinue reading “Report | DARK ELITE – Anti-Spiritual Void Devotion”

            A lifeform ignited during 2020 continues to stalk Hellenic lands, and now its madness is fully manifest on a new trip from STARTTHEMONKEY. The intrigue surrounding this name is matched by the post / experimental tendencies of their craft, with Urban Psyche now expanding on the debut EP’s dark variations, and “Why” drives thoseContinue reading “Report | STARTTHEMONKEY – Urban Psyche”

            It didn’t take long for the solitary vision of GREH to become a full-membered grooving doom machine, with a single released late last year now resurfacing as part of this newest EP, and the metamorphosis is pronounced when sludge oozes forth on “Inhumed to Forget.” The compositions throughout pave a minimalistic burden in theContinue reading “Report | GREH – Reversion of the Repressed”

            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 takeContinue reading “Report | DIONE – Cosmosphere”

            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 acousticsContinue reading “Report | TIR – Awaiting the Dawn”
