The Blackest Metal Tourney Quarter-Finals Round1-2

With discovery being over and everyone (supposedly) having heard all of these a few times, it's time to accelerate the pace as we hit the next stage. Here we have Uttstott facing off against Zuriaake and Drawn taking on Svartidaudi. Cast your votes!
1Utstott
Hjorungavagr

(Gameofmetal) Epic black metal in the vein of the mighty Summoning and Caladan Brood. The execution doesn't really put much of a unique spin on the style by the aforementioned bands, but it's still filled with epic crescendos and ambitious lyrical themes. The nordic/viking theme has been done to death, but does it really ever get old anyway? There's plenty of hypnotic tremolos and epic melodies to please any fan of epic black metal. Stream: https://utstott.bandcamp.com/
2Zuriaake
Afterimage of Autumn

(hal1ax) Gorgeous and dreary atmospheric black metal from China. This band uniquely and seamlessly incorporates traditional oriental styles of music into this depressive surrealistic wonderland of an album. Stream: https://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/album/afterimage-of-autumn
3Drawn
A New World?

(Hawks) Psychedelic/experimental bm from Norway. Similar to early In the Woods... and Solefald. Not a typical bm album, but has elements of pure bm along with a lot of clean sections. Includes clean and harsh vocals throughout. Stream: https://drawn-no.bandcamp.com/album/a-new-world
4Svartidaudi
Flesh Cathedral

(SCREAM!) Easily my favourite of the Icelandic trio (of which only Misthyrming really seems to have gained any attention on here). Flesh Cathedral features four intricate pieces that start where DsO left off and add their own sense of dark melody and absolutely hellish vocals. Stream here: https://daemonworship.bandcamp.com/album/flesh-cathedral
