12.01.25 | To lay, or to be laid, that is the question
how about christian bm lmao |

12.01.25 | Christian bm is fine! |
Hawks
12.01.25 | Actually, that would be perfect for Christmas day lol. |
arthropod
12.01.25 | That's splendid because I know nothing about it lol. I'd start with either Horde, Antestor, Crimson Moonlight or random obscure Polish shit pulled from the depths of the web. |

Hawks
12.01.25 | Both of you give me another rec NOW! |
Sevengill
12.01.25 | real talk, I found a modern classic you don't have rated. Vindland - Hanter Savet. it sits somewhere between Windir and Uada. riffs for days.
for bonus content, I think I might be the only person who still spins Anfauglir - Hymns Over Anfauglith and Skogsande - Vintervindarnas tillhåll. Anfauglir is like if Summoning and Wintersun had a child out of wedlock. Skogsande is basically Paysage worship with emphasis on choirs and keys. |
budgie
12.01.25 | trist (ger) - hin-fort |

12.01.25 | I only listen to Morgan Wallen. Best country singer of all-time. |
budgie
12.01.25 | the fuck |
Sevengill
12.01.25 | prolly because this news article was the first time I really heard of them and I was like pfft nvm, I'll just go spin Gris again
https://metalinjection.net/news/shinings-show-cancelled-after-frontman-accused-of-groping-women-drugging-drinks-threatening-violence

12.01.25 | the music is fkn good |
Hawks
12.01.25 | Budg did you really think I was serious???? Lmao
And yes, the music is good for the most part. |
Sevengill
12.01.25 | should I start at 1 or V tho |
Hawks
12.01.25 | But yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all lmao. Dude is a wackjob. |

12.04.25 | Hell yeah!!! |
pyroflare77
12.04.25 | Hell yeah it does. One of my favorite literally whos I stumbled upon. People seem to think it's the same guy behind Mahpiya Luta and whatever the Japanese symbol for samurai is because same label same mystery anonymous "exotic" bm but idk the vocals don't sound the same to me as those other two. |
Hawks
12.05.25 | I gotta jam the first album too!! Moving right along, today's album bangs hard. |
Muzz79
12.05.25 | Yo my one is up next/ |

arthropod
12.08.25 | priorities |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Yes indeed my brother. |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Man, that Invultation album riffs hard. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a great bm/dm combo for sure. |
AlkemestRedux
12.08.25 | Agreed! The riffs are thick on it. The dude's previous album is great too, but I really love the grooves on Feral Legion. |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Heavy death/doom influence also, love that. |
AlkemestRedux
12.08.25 | Definitely! The slower riffs slay. I love Mark of the Fang especially. m/// |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Yeah, that one rips insanely hard. |
arthropod
12.08.25 | Well, seems that Polish underground is doing great. What's your favourite cuts on 8? |
Hawks
12.08.25 | I'd have to go with Ashen Remains, Gallery of the Hung and Descending Terror as my favs right now. Album rips hard. |
arthropod
12.08.25 | Not sure about Ashen, interludes in metal generally do nothing for me. The others are my favs as well, along with Traitor(s). Gallery especially, I certainly didn't expect to hear a hip-hop beat in a bm song. |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Oh, thats not the one then lmao. Song before the interlude. |
arthropod
12.08.25 | Lol. Therefore we agree on Traitor 2, Gallery and Terror being highlights. |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Absolutely brother. |
necropig
12.08.25 | You've a hard days work tomorrow :3 |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Believe me, I know it lmao. |

12.08.25 | You've permission to skip the last track as it's 20 mins of ambiance |
Hawks
12.08.25 | Nah, can't do that, gotta jam the whole thing!! |
necropig
12.08.25 | Kevin paradis is the session drummer for this one |
Hawks
12.09.25 | I was just about to say that the drumming is fan-fucking-tastic. Album is ruling hard so far. |
necropig
12.09.25 | highest rating so far ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
Hawks
12.09.25 | Yeah buddy, just barely! But definitely the best rec so far. They've all been good. Pagan Winter is the only one that was KINDA so-so, but it has some icy riffage. |
budgie
12.09.25 | necro has good taste |
Hawks
12.09.25 | Yes he does. |

12.10.25 | Its so damn good bro. The synths and folk elements are incredibly done. |
necropig
12.10.25 | A Passage To The Towers by them is also great |
Hawks
12.10.25 | Will have to jam it HARD. |
necropig
12.11.25 | I remember coming across them and Aorlhac on the same night as I was hunting for french BM |

But ooh la la Aorlhac is very nice.
I'm such a fangirl for VI - De Praestigiis Angelorum. |
Hawks
12.12.25 | Another day down. M//// |

12.15.25 | Hell yeah brother!! |
Rowhaus
12.15.25 | Sick bro glad you dug the Horna album! |
Hawks
12.15.25 | Absolutely bro, that one rips HARD. Tons of great riffs. Some moron on RYM gave it a 1.5 because of "repetitive riffs" like its not a fucking traditional bm album lmao. |
Rowhaus
12.15.25 | yeah way to miss the point lmao |
Hawks
12.15.25 | I mean, seriously. Super idiotic critique lmao. |

12.17.25 | Damn Art bro, this Asteriae album kicks major ass. |
arthropod
12.17.25 | Hard. I knew it'd be a ripper ever since I heard Ruiny on air. |
Hawks
12.17.25 | Riffs super hard and the atmosphere is filthy. Reminds me of Downfall of Gaia. |
arthropod
12.17.25 | Oh, I haven't listened to that. The comparison seems inviting. |
Hawks
12.17.25 | Jam them hard. |
Hawks
12.18.25 | Loving this Thy Worshiper album. |
arthropod
12.18.25 | Hell yeah. From what I remember, Czarny used to be quite a hit in Polish underground bm circles (and is one of my favourite bm tracks ever), but this whole thing is great. |
Hawks
12.18.25 | Yeah, album rips insanely hard bro. Good rec!! |
necropig
12.19.25 | Soon find out if I'm 3 for 3 :) |

necropig
12.19.25 | good shit |
Hawks
12.19.25 | Hell yeah bro. |
necropig
12.19.25 | And yeah that album goes punky |
Hawks
12.19.25 | Definitely does. Love the raw bm/punk mixture in general. |
necropig
12.19.25 | It's the only album i've checked from the dude but his other projects are meant to be similar, may have given myself some homework |
Hawks
12.19.25 | Hell yeah bro, same here. Check the newest Trha album. |
necropig
12.19.25 | It's hard to keep up with Trha at this point |
Hawks
12.19.25 | I agree lmao. New one kicks ass and the split with Saidan is even better. |
necropig
12.19.25 | ok i didnt know about the saidan split so i'll sniff that out |
pyroflare77
12.19.25 | I'll always at least be up to date minus maybe a day or two for my Trha ranking list. I edited it so much the site removed it from Trha's sidebar despite being featured lmao. Can Ctrl+f the year to see if anything new showed up since the last peek. |
Hawks
12.19.25 | Pyro bro your dedication to that discog is insane in a good way. Major props. |
Hawks
12.20.25 | Seven with a fire rec, that Haxkapell album is absolutely stunning. |
necropig
12.20.25 | Guess I need to peep it |
Hawks
12.20.25 | Its so damn good. |
Sevengill
12.20.25 | I KNEW Hawks would be the one to get it |
Hawks
12.20.25 | Oh yeah bro, killer album. |
arthropod
12.21.25 | I will say, Antestor was a blind shot on my side but listening to it now, it sounds epic. If you're really planning to jam on Christmas Eve, I think you'll have a good time. |
Hawks
12.21.25 | Can't wait to jam HARD. |
arthropod
12.21.25 | The review of 8 is up, no shame for advertising on my side.
btw what's with 21? It's the first time on this list that you gave an album less than a 3.0 |
Hawks
12.21.25 | Its too long-winded and boring for my liking. |
Hawks
12.22.25 | Man, that Flesia album rules insanely hard. |
ThyCrossAwaits
12.22.25 | Right??? It’s like German black metal with gooey goregrind aesthetics and it’s great.
Is there anything better than a buddy liking something you rec’d them? The best sort of feeling.
|
Hawks
12.22.25 | It's pretty straightforward, but the production kicks ass and the riffs/vocals are so on point. Great rec brother! |

12.22.25 | I've been really digging black metal with melody lately so that Haxkepell album sounds awesome. |
necropig
12.22.25 | long german album names go ahrd |
Hawks
12.22.25 | It rules extremely hard bro. |
arthropod
12.24.25 | 3.9 for Antestor seems apt, that album is potent. Personally didn't expect it to be this melodic and infused with synths. |
Hawks
12.24.25 | The death/doom influences surprised me in a good way. Killer, atmospheric album. |
arthropod
12.24.25 | For sure. Jammed it while writing my last review, I needed a change of pace after ingesting Morthar, Venom, Bathory, Mayhem and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost all night lol. |
Hawks
12.24.25 | Hell yeah bro. |
Sevengill
12.25.25 | looking forward to your thoughts on Haxkapell, Alkemest. it covers so much ground -- maybe too much? I can't think of another obvious turnoff for the couple low ratings beyond "not cohesive". even though I think it is. |
Hawks
12.25.25 | I second what Seven said. |
Hawks
12.27.25 | Today's album is a BANGER. |

12.30.25 | anything stand out to you on Hanter? it's def Windir worship but the riffs are tasty and the atmosphere is snowy. what else matters, really? |
Hawks
12.30.25 | The riffage is definitely what stands out hard. |

Sevengill
12.30.25 | hell yeah my dude. it was a softball given we both love paysage, but it's a really neatly-packaged EP. nice pacing, balance, and production. just wish it was on streaming. |
Hawks
12.30.25 | I wish there was a bit more actual bm, but the atmosphere is so on point. |
Sevengill
12.30.25 | tru. it's about 1:1, while 2:1 is perf
or maybe 2.40:1
I like my atmosblack in anamorphic widescreen. |
Hawks
