From the first second on, this is intense. It's a raw, brutal Black Metal punch right in the face. I somewhat expected them to slow down at some point or to sprinkle in some synths, but no, it gets worse and worse and worse. This record caught me right from the beginning but sat on my wishlist for at least a year, before I realized how many times I had already listened to it. FFO Mons Veneris, Irae.

I came across this watching Teloch's YouTube channel, where he occasionally launches metal riff challenges. One of the entries in the 14th edition of it is track No. 14 of this compilation. what was so casually put out there as "Hello to the wife" is by far the most impressive blackened doom I have ever heard. It somewhat reminds me of Lord Mantis, due to the singing style I also sense some Urfaust. thank you for putting it out Aerik, the underground is only vital because there are guys like you

Man this took way too long. I've been a fan for some years now and I can't wait to listen to it, Triumphator sounds amazing.

I dare you to listen to this for longer than 10 seconds without subconsciously bursting out with:"IN THE SHADOW OF THE HOOOOOOORNS!"

I was hoping for another release, expected much, but they have indeed become even better.

Found this Death Metal gem. Old schoolish, dirty, rumbling with some freaky vocals.

Pretty intense record overall, with a metallic edge to what otherwise is classic Grindcore. FFO Dead in the Dirt.

If I used all the words describing this buzzing in my head, you'd think I just bought a progressive record. Wrong!
This is terrible music in rhe best possible way. It combines so many elements of bands I like, I feel like I have actually missed something for not having this in my life. Very diverse with Gorgoroth's TOTI vocals and sound-density like Revenge. absolutely crushing and unrelentless. Huge surprise.
FFO My Skin Is Multicam, Horde Of Hel, Mysticum.

666 era Katharsis meets BSL era Carpathian forest. The Astral Serpent is America's M. de Jong: You don't have to like it, but you'll have to admit it's great for what it is. TSON and EGOTNE are among the best RBM releases I have heard recently and easily better than most of the oh-so-well-produced European output lately. Didn't expect it either, but America is now a force to be reckoned with in BM and thanks to releases like this, I'm very happy about that.

Outstanding! never heard of these guys, was instantly blown away by the way they combine a raw production with such a dense sound. while I think it is very atmospheric music, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as ABM, the edge is just too raw and scary. FFO The Night Spectre

While I wouldn't even dare to call this easily digestible or even friendly-to-the-ear, this definitely is among the rather easy accessible raw black metal. As always song length are totally ridiculous and almost ruin what otherwise is an impressive performance. Though, the songs don't feel like an never ending martyrium of repetitive news, but rather like two or three songs following one another. Musically this is habds down among the best RBM has to offer.

Without any doubt one of the most infamous Black Metal releases ever. While it probably rose to fame mostly due to its over the top lyrics and appeal, it should be made perfectly clear that this is also easily one of the best modern Black Metal albums.

Great Burzum insoired classic BM with a raw edge, subtle melodies and mid-tempo atmosphere, not a rager but a depressive, angry
gem. If you enjoy Filisophem you're in for a treat.
