"Easily the most promising Black Metal band from Japan at this moment. The dedication behind this band is easy to spot through their creation of the first two early demos. On this CD you will find both Rekonquista and Hymne previously only released on tape format. The atmosphere kept on these two demos is in the same league as the classic Belketre and Mütiilation demos." - Total Holocaust Records

"Possibly their most demented effort yet, Brobdingnagian's new MCD "TortureStainedDisaster" is an insidious crawl through four loathsome tracks of the most nauseating order. Be it vile, pain-fuelled Black Metal or pensive experimentation with the sounds of the bleating masses, each song is guaranteed to bring a new kind mind-tearing agony to the listener. Lose the remaining shreds of your sanity to the wretched, lunatic screaming vocals, the labyrinthine guitar work and the constant presence of a warping, clawing shroud of appalling noise." - Rusty Axe Records

Circle Of Ouroborus delivers one of a kind mellow, experimental black metal as usual.
Crooked Necks was known as Frail before they changed name and has the main member of Toil (USA). Joy Division used to be one of the inspirations of this project but they've definitely grown since the debut demo. The vocal style can be described as shrieking and the music has a dreamy/melancholic atmosphere. Released as a nice digipack CD. This split album comes recommended!

"An "alive and kicking" record that captures both periods from the band's existence: the demo stage - that reflected furious avantgarde black metal tunes and the new period that brings a fresh sound, a mix of extreme metal with post-punk, alternative and electronica influences.
11 tracks that will keep you constantly awake, switching moods, feelings and views: from insane screams to melodic and emotional songs, from heavy riffs to electronica, from orthodox folklore based blasphemy to atmospheric psychedelic sounds." - GoatowaRex

"Delirium, Dissonance and Death. The title of this album describes its contents. These Norwegians have turned loose 9 tracks bursting with inner turmoil and contempt. The substance keeping these jarring riffs together is as devious as it is dark, making every track stand out while relentlessly raging forward. With lyrics covering patricide, god-faced dogs, panic attacks and corpse eating, this is a merciless thrashing onslaught pulled from the darkest pits of our psyche.

Delirium Bound is Kim Sřlve (Swarms, -M-, K100, TKDS/Trine + Kim design studio) on guitars and bass, and Bjeima (Yurei, The Ghost Conspiracy, Alfa Obscura, Swarms) on drums and vocals. Featuring guest vocals from Mannevond (Koldbrann, Urgehal). Recorded and mixed by Petter Berntsen (bass player of Swarms, -M-, ex-Virus/Ved Buens Ende, Audiopain).
Stripping it down to basic elements, Delirium Bound is a distorted basement beast pounding out a delirious assault of discordant Metal unfit for any contemporary categorization.

"Truely one of Norways strongest Black Metal hordes and also one of those bands which has been an influence for several of bands. And for a very good reason. They have always had their own formula of making the Blackest of atmospheres come to life through their music. This album was released on a MCD in 1995 and has been sold out since a very long time. To honour this forgotten album I together with Forgotten Woods did plans for a re-issue which now is at hand. Featured on this album is the three original tracks as well as two previously unheard tracks which are taken from rehearsal tracks that has only been in the hands of the band previous to this. So no matter if you have the original copy of this or not, it's sure a worthy addition. The album comes also with totally reworked layout in a luxurious fold out booklet. Nothing more to add here really, a Black Metal classic that should not be overlooked." - Total Holocaust Records

This 1998 demo of unhuman black metal, performed with painful vocals and pure evil out of this world, cloaked in a dark, hateful and spiritual aura, left a big impression on the Dutch underground, recorded in a time before internet-hypes, image-driven "black" metal kids and easy-listening pop metal. Only few bands still have this kind of dedication nowadays... After the 'Doodskou', Hekel dissapeared back into their forest, but in 2006 they emerged with their first full-length album 'De dodenvaart'." - Heidens Hart

"This is the latest manifestation from the infamous Lifelover. Entitled Dekadens, this MCD takes the band further than ever before. It contains 7 tracks of sick miserable metal/rock. The sound is heavier and more aggressive. This is so much more than just an ordinary MCD; it's a must for every fan of Lifelover and their notorious works.
With this perfect mix of hatred, strangeness and melancholy, Lifelover once again show what they're made of, and with this release they strengthen their positions as the kings of this so far nameless genre of sick, miserable music." - Osmose Productions

"After a longer time of creation the swedish duo returns with a complete acoustic album. 12 tracks that witness of great creative force and a wonderful, homogeneous and open-style album of rare beauty. A journey, an honest confession to nature and at the same time an escape from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and modernity. The magic of folk is brought back by isolated and melancholic feelings reminding us our own evocative strength. Visions of thoughtful solitude evoke the melancholy of a lost time, turn back the wheel to forgotten ages. Listening to these songs is like seeing through the eyes of a northern-land wanderer: wide landscapes wearing the autumn colors, snow covered mountains under clear blue sky, endless horizons and feeling the warm hearths of grandfathers families. Dive into "Viddernas Tolv Kapitel" and experience a profound emotional journey !" - Eisenwald

This CD compiles the Rasluka mini-albums Part I and II, originally recorded in 2001.
Especially worth getting for "Rasluka Part II", which plain simply is the best Nargaroth recording. Even if you don't like everything else by this band, you could be surprised when checking this out! Sometimes it's hard to believe this is the same band that did the other releases.
The recordings are dedicated to a friend of Kanwulf who committed suicide. Also, in retrospection he considers splitting the mini CD's as a wrong decision as they'd better been a full-length CD like it was released now.

"Avantgarde Dark Metal from sweden, featuring members of ARMAGEDDA (rip) and BERGRAVEN ! This unconventional brainchild out of Sweden still borrows from the Black Metal range its members bring with it, however it surprises with crafty obscure and complex music, rich with songs and instrumentation. An unconventional and disturbing travel - easily drifting away from the usual metal genres. "Faceless Phenomena" means nothing that we can foresee, densly layered music, moving skillfully between fragility and powerful outbursts, graceful melodic and twisted imaginery. Impeccable individual riffs nail deep the mood, let you grow and also fall with the alluring songs. Try to imagine a mix of VEB BUENS ENDE, CODE and BERGRAVEN, it's time to make the decisive twist !

"Harsh and cold soundscapes entering your mind with a haunting post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Fundamental to the concept behind Askeregn is that it is necessary to rid oneself from the veils that covers the eyes and clouds the visions of the modern man, and thereby render oneself able to see the rain of ashes that continuously pours down onto this earth. This is believed to be a necessary precondition for seeing clearly in the darkness of this world, and to reach a level of consciousness where one is able to bask in the glory of the Sun of Satan. Askeregn was thus created as an instrument for its creators to channel the omnipresent forces of destruction and chaos – to acknowledge and gaze beyond the rain of ashes, and into the abyss."

"Through Waters" is the debut EP of the German project Decision at Sundown, solely run by pw. A few might recognise the name since he already did intro and outro ambientscapes for the German Dark Metal band Isolation. After having been recorded back in 2007 already, this marks the first self-contained appearance in music history for DaS. "Through Waters" takes you on an instrumental journey of doom metal heaviness mixed with organic ambient sounds. Wait... doom / ambient projects are quite common nowadays, right? Unfortunately alot of those sound like the band realized while recording that their instruments weren't tuned so they got bored and simply put them down without switching them off nor stopping the recording. But Decision at Sundown is far from that, trust me! These 20 minutes form a wholistic monolith out of its different aspects, which must be experienced. Because of that, chosing a sample was unthankful business and therefore I can only advice you to judge this record as a whole. If you are by any chance into crushing doom riffs and darkest ambient soundtextures get your ticket and enjoy the ride!"

"The self-titled debut album by the Italian avantgarde black metal band Kailash first saw the light of day in 2006, on a cdr released by the Italian label Traceroeuno. A year later Paradigms Recordings from England printed a limited run of professional CDs. After listening to this great piece of art, we were happy to join ranks with these labels and do our share of supporting this album by doing the cassette version. Drawing influences from (progressive) rock and metal, black metal of course and even classical music Kailash brew their very own brand of modern extreme metal. Seldomly I have heard blastbeats and harsh vocals melt so perfectly together with jazzy, progressive moments, which even feature the use of a saxophone. Forget all those bands who try to pump every possible element into their metal and end up either like a sampler or a teenager's drug experiment gone wrong. This very band doesn't sound anything like that. While Kailash reminded me instantly of Ved Buens Ende and also of later Ulver or Code, it is a miracle to me, why this release didn't get more of the attention it deserves in my opinion. To everyone who consideres himself a fan of modern black metal with intelligent arrangements and progressive elements, I can only raise my voice to say: "Do not ignore this great album!" - Choirs Of Delusion
