  1. LHAÄD Beneath
    by The Nox Entity
    I have to agree with the legendary bmurator. This is so good that, even when it was time to do something else, I really didn't want to stop listening to it. If that isn't a good sign, I don't know what is.
  2. OUIJA "Fathomless Hysteros" Digipak
    by Tribulacion Productions - Underground Necro Metal Label
    Unlike bmurator, I was attracted here because it came through as an album someone I follow had bought. Much like bmurator, however, I stayed for the great black metal.
  3. Elixiria Ekstasis
    by CORPUS DIAVOLIS
    A classic case of a theme and album cover for 14-year-old boys, but great occult black metal despite all that. The lyrics I notice just about make my eyes roll right out of my head, yet it is still another great release by LADLO.
  4. Upharsin
    by Blaze of Perdition
    Apparently everybody else hated Harrowing, but I thought it was probably BoP's best album to date when it was released. This new one is definitely different. No clean vocals, notably heavier, and opens with a rusty saw upside the head. And yet, for all that, it's undeniably Blaze of Perdition. Honestly, I still like Harrowing even better, but this, too, is fantastic. Listen to (and buy) both of 'em :)

  11. Зверь
    by Offret
    Thank you very much Offret for the freebie! I am delighted to include this album in my collection :) (and if you weren't lucky enough to get one of the free copies, I definitely recommend buying it instead)
  12. Mulheres em Movimento – Uma Sinfonia de Resistência e Celebração
    by Blog NoiseRed
    Good music, good people, good cause, 'nuff said.
  13. Затмение
    by Offret
    Another email from Bandcamp about the purchases of fans I follow, another glowing recommendation from YomaBarr, and another buy-on-first-listen from me (and this weren't particularly cheap going from Euros to NZD). This is just such good, pitch black metal.
  14. Antumbra - Oblivion
    by Loud Rage Music
  15. Tableau Mort - Veil of Stigma. Book I Mark of Delusion
    by Tableau Mort
    Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the theme, this album kinda sounds like someone's attempt to repeat Batyushka's Litourgya with perhaps some influences from Mephorash. Happily, though, while the similarities are clear, it doesn't sound like a lazy copy. Rather, it sounds like a great album 👍
  16. Akral Necrosis - The Greater Absence
    by Loud Rage Music
    Darn it Yoma Barr, you just HAD to bring this incredible album to my attention, and thus make me buy it on first listen (an extremely rare event with me), didn't you? :P

    Seriously, this album is some excellent black metal.
  17. Ordinul Negru - Sorcery of Darkness
    by Ordinul Negru
    Some neat, uh, expansive (deathened (?)) black metal. Reminds me in touches of various groups like Blaze of Perdition, Watain, Desolate Shrine and others I'm sure I'm overlooking right now.
  18. Fertile Soil Compilation Vol. 4
    by Loud Rage Music
    Insepultus - The Wreckage of The Earth Insepultus - The Wreckage of The Earth
    Good on Loud Rage, promoting their home country's music. Random fact: Romania were one of the 20 competing teams at the 2011 Rugby World Cup 🏉

    If your tastes are like mine, you'll want to go to the last third or so of this collection :)
  19. Corryvreckan
    by Hand of Kalliach
    Many couples have shared hobbies. For the duo behind HoK, this happens to be making darn good metal. Unlike many other couple's hobbies, we all get to enjoy this one, and it sure sounds like this is gonna be a great album. Maybe harder & heavier than Samhainn, and I can't wait to hear the rest :)

    EDIT: Yip, it is indeed harder and heavier, and (at least) as good 🎉
  20. Beyond The Palest Star
    by VORGA
    Their previous album was fantastic, and the preview tracks on this one are too. I have no doubts this is gonna be a highlight release of 2024, even though I have no doubts there will be many quality releases over the whole year :)

    EDIT: Finally got a chance to listen to it properly, and it does indeed meet the incredibly high expectations we all had :) Go team Vorga!
