| This band has done it again! I was really impressed by last year's album and when I heard there would be something out this year too I jumped on it. Took a bit longer than the previous one to hit me properly but once it did I was hooked. The production on this thing is really cool too, gives it this kind of buzz to the riffs, and a really desolate atmosphere to their brand of death-y black metal. Not your typical "blackened death metal" though, this is like all the things you love about BM paired with a more throaty vocal performance and punchier, more distinct instrumentation. Basically it rules. |

| This live DVD is a lot of fun. Before watching it I was a little apprehensive about the editing style from the "trailer", but I actually really enjoyed the post-production meddling. Aside from some seldom moments of quick cuts that I'm not that into, the CGI was unexpectedly really cool, the track title graphics and stylistic additions enhanced the experience, and overall the camera angle choice was excellent. Plenty of live DVD try to make the experience as unwatchable as possible by choosing zany angles and machine-gun cuts but this was one of the most enjoyable live albums to watch and listen to. The track list was excellent, the band are on point the whole time and never let up with the on-stage excitement. Loved the venue and way it was used too, not only for the expectedly awesome pyro-technics but also the additional antics. Highly recommend for any fan of the band, I think this tops In Amerika too. |

Really good, gloomy dungeon synth. I get a sense of dark mountains, mist filled forests, and cloudy skies. The
more open production I think lends itself to images of nature rather than the inside of claustrophobic buildings. Of
course the album art influenced that feeling more than a little bit, but it's definitely a reflection of the sound.
Anyway, really enjoy this, and it comes with a neat fridge magnet too so what can I say? |

I am always happy to hear another BOC album, and though I honestly would have preferred to hear a modern
follow-up to 2020s fantastic The Symbol Remains, this is an interesting time-capsule with a few genuine
highlights. Since this is just a collection of unreleased material from their middle period, Ghost Stories ends up
sounding like the missing link between Mirrors and Cultosaurus Erectus, and probably stacks up slightly better
than the former. The cover songs scattered throughout are live show staples and vary in quality. Kick Out The
Jams sounds pretty good, but We Gotta Get Out Of This Place and If I Fell, though fairly inoffensive, are probably
the least interesting tracks here. On the other hand, So Supernatural, Don’t Come Running To Me, and The Only
Thing are quite excellent, and everything else is pretty good. This is far from essential listening, but I think fans of
the band generally will be quite satisfied even with what the band left on the cutting room floor, and pleasantly
surprised to get a classic sounding BOC album in 2024. |

| Wanted to like this more than I did. Still a great effort and a fair amount of cool riffs/lead but nowhere near the quality of Halo. More focus on a deeper, crunchier sound doesn't lend itself to COB, who are way better off with the trebly riff fest. Bass is nice and strong here though, and vocals + percussion are done pretty well too. |

| I think I prefer the material here to the debut, mostly for this demo's inferior recording quality which lends the tracks a good deal of charm and also better represents the music, at least in my view. The live bonus tracks are pretty garbage though, I'm not counting them in my rating but be forewarned they're pretty flat and sound aimless, maybe as a result of how they were captured, plus they take up a lot of the overall runtime and draw the whole expereience out. The demo itself is very good, just avoid the live numbers and you'll enjoy yourself. |

| Midnight of Winter Freeze |
| An intriguing winter synth experience that requires a little more volume than usual to properly shine. Freeze creates a subtle atmosphere with a slightly haunting feeling, built on a foundation of swishy synths and dull percussion. The album cover is a perfect representation of the isolating music within, which is neither threatening nor comforting. My one suggestion if you choose to give this a listen is to crank it up a little given the low mixing present, my first few tries left me wanting, and even though I kept returning it took some time before I figured out that the sound just needed some more power, then you start to notice some of the details that are obscured. There are more complete and enveloping winter synth albums out there but for a taste you can't go wrong with Freeze. |

| A genuinely excellent hard/stoner rock album from Eddi Pickard of Infant Annihilator and Black Tongue fame. Seeing what he's capable of from a technical standpoint in IA, it's hard to believe how well he can tone it down here and offer such a melody-driven and catchy experience. Not only are his guitar playing and songwriting skills rmade immediately evident, but Eddi's got a really good voice for this style. The album's a little on the long side and could lose a track or two, but I'm equal parts pleasantly surprised and excited by how great this turned out. |

Interesting style of black metal, unique sound and production. Some of the riffs are really cool and the
songwriting overall is a fresh (for the time) take on black metal. It suffers a bit from sounding homogenous,
production wise anyway, but on the whole it's quite enjoyable mid to relatively slow paced BM. |

| The Sombre Chemin tracks are mostly forgettable, without the band name attached they'd be more easily dismissed. Just quite low quality bm, nothing special going on besides some cool bass work. The intro track on their side is a brooding synth piece which is also pretty straightforward and nothing to get excited about. The Peste Noire side on the other hand is actually pretty great, with some really cool songwriting hidden amongst the lo-fi aesthetic. They steal the show quite easily. Hardly a necessary split, but it's worth a gander. |

| Pretty "meh" release overall, saved by some great ambient moments. The dungeons synth/atmospheric material on this album is well done, but the super echoey, delay-drenched black metal stuff just isn't my style at all and imo is not handled or performed very well. On the fence with how I feel about it overall, sitting around a 2.7 but the parts I do enjoy are pretty great. Album is too long and too ambitious for what it actually delivers, the forced, repetitive BM just isn't enjoyable and ruins what could've been a really cool ambient/ds project. |
