For the original Ulver fans that had listened to the first three albums, this debut album (made by ex-Ulver guitarist, Håvard Jørgensen) pays nostalgic homage to the second Ulver album.
Haavard focuses on the somber beauty and melancholy within the melodies. Session musicians also contributed in helping out including one song that has vocals from well-known Ulver frontman, Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg.

This debut album has a familiar yet new experience. It is led by The Fall while Darkside does only the drums. M does the production. Part of the band logo on the left has that Mgła aesthetic. So you know that even though the band members from Mgła helped The Fall to make this, it has a different type of musical direction. Partly black metal music with eerie post-rock elements, and one neofolk tune just keeps things atmospherically haunting.

Their debut mini album musically has an extreme mixture of ethereal vocals, and a somber cello that resonates towards the heavens. Opposite of it has a hellish raspy scream with a swell of Atmospheric Black Metal melodies while combining them with Doom Metal, Progressive Metal, and Post-Black Metal/Blackgaze. Domhain has perfected this masterpiece even if it's just three songs.

With the help of talented session musicians, and guest guitar soloists, Linus Klausenitzer has finally released his debut album "Tulpa." Most notably known for his fretless bass playing from the German Prog/Tech Death Metal band Obscura, Linus brings forth some great headbanging rhythms, riffs, and solos from his musicians while he adds some melodic bass melodies to add a nice touch music-wise.

Mental Cruelty's third album has brought a surprise of musical change. While they kept some of their Slamming Deathcore music, other elements were mostly added that sounded Lorna Shore-esque: a haunting symphonic atmosphere and diabolical Black Metal melodies. I believe that this album attracts me more than their previous albums.

This Black Metal music is out of this world, and into the cosmos! Pandemonius brings this debut album to listeners that transports their minds into the depths of space that is both beautiful, and destructive.

This album has full of hatred on how society is broken, and humanity is flawed with those that view it in a negative way. The black metal music is purely hostile. The lyrical themes are angry and spiteful. It is not for the faint of heart who cannot listen to this serious material, and take it with a grain of salt.

Part ethereal. Part melancholic. Nethilde debuts a soothing, yet emotional Dungeon Synth music filled with ambient melodies that can illustrate a wandering human spirit exploring the vast beauty of the untouched forest at peace in finding solace with the earth.

With a mixture of medieval-like elements that contains melodies and not-so-overpowering clean vocals with a barrage of sinister black metal music, Szivilizs brings up a delightful amount of headbangers that will enjoy this debut album.

This debut album from Arð is something that draws me to hear the slow melancholic, melodic Doom Metal music of Mark Geeks. With his session musicians supporting him in making this album, he tells the history of the old lands of Northumbria where Cuthbert became famous.

On this split album, Ildjarn (made by Nidhogg) and Hate Forest share their Black Metal music for the person to hear the distinction of Norwegian Black Metal and Ukrainian Black Metal. But the main point I want to bring up is that even though most of Hate Forest’s discography on Osmose Productions’ Bandcamp is sadly gone due to idiotic cancel culture, this split album was spared thankfully as a middle finger gesture towards them. Hopefully someday the rest of HF albums shall return triumphantly.

This very short EP from Sarkrista has the good stuff musically when it comes with the blackened melodies, catchy evil riffs, headbanging drum beats, and vocals screaming blasphemous themes of the occult.

Before Noise made Kanonenfieber and Leiþa, Non Est Deus was his first Black Metal project. This is his third Non Est Deus album that contains anti-religious lyrics that target the hypocrisy, and corruption of religion.

Much of Ukraine’s current ordeal is terribly sad. In this non-WWI single song, we are reminded on how war can get ugly. Kudos to Noise who’s using the money for charity in helping the people of Ukraine.

Even though the EP is short with just two songs, it has a satisfying amount of Melodic Black/Death Metal music to headbang to. Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder) provides guest vocals on the first song.

Sidus Atrum collaborates with Margarita Arabadzhieva in this single track. With clean, melodic singing from Margarita, and harsh, demonic screaming (and growls) from Sidus Atrum, it meshes together from mournfully beauty to hauntingly evil.

In this uncertain time for Ukraine’s peril, Sidus Atrum releases another album of such sorrow of this mortal life we live in. Featuring some Post-Black Metal elements while not abandoning the Blackened Death/Doom Metal music, it is something atmospherically better. Daniel Neagoe (Clouds, Eye of Solitude) provides growled guest vocals.
