The popular black metal group Belzebubs, who we know from the web series following their daily lives, finally release a proper album into the world!
Magnus Pelander, the man behind Witchcraft, made ‘Black Metal’ completely on his own, turning it into an extremely minimalist acoustic adventure.
‘Verisaarna’ is wrought with various elements that are borrowed from the second wave of black metal, through which Kryptamok brings its own version of it.
Armagedda presents something old and new to the fans through the solid aggression and the melodic facets of the Swedish black metal demonstrated on their new album!
‘Bloem’ is saturated with compelling melodies that will make you instantly fall in adoration with Fluisteraars’ atmospheric black metal sound.
‘Effigy of Nightmares’ is a big improvement from the sophomore. Valdrin has succeeded in taking their craft to a professional level.
Black Curse manages to give each element a deserving focus. War metal, raw metal or primordial death metal: all these musical traits can be applied to what Black Curse has presented on their debut album.
The cold icy impression of the Norwegian black metal is beautifully conjured on the self titled album.
‘Franckensteina Strataemontanus’ is an immense album that that will capture your senses.
