Kaatayra Toda História pela FrenteTurdus Merula HerbariumAnother hidden gem from the same workshop, an alchemic masterpiece by Swedish black metal first lady, Disa. A perfect blend of fury, despair and melancholy, with traceable yet moderate influences of the French bm scene. 4.0 excellentMesarthim The Density ParameterMesarthim The Degenerate EraMisthyrming Söngvar elds og óreiðuOctober Falls A Fall of an EpochYmir (FIN) YmirYovel Forthcoming Humanityunfortunately, this album requires understanding of Greek language, something that makes its beauty and heroic pathos fully available only for a relatively small amount of listeners. but it's definitely a great example of modern RABM 3.5 greatAfsky Ofte Jeg Drømmer Mig DødAudn Vökudraumsins fangiKorpblod Hymnerone of the most underrated black metal gems of 00s, this Disa's album doesn't reach the heights of "vardens färd" but remains an iconic example of pagan metal for grown ups, a hypnotizing shamanic trip. Nadra FormObsequiae Aria of Vernal TombsSálarkvöl HarmljóðA truly great record for demo album, but sometimes great debuts turn out to be well-done homeworks of mediocrities who have nothing special to say. So let's see. Verikyyneleet Ilman Kuolemaa3.0 goodCalvana IÉ…old-schoolish, harsh, plain yet powerful, a haunting mountain hymn but yes, it would've been twice as good if it was half as long.Enslaved UtgardHollow Woods Endless Trails (demo)Not perfect from the technical point of view, these banal wind samples (track 3) make me sick, the transitions between fast and slow parts in the 1st track could be more natural and the drums are somehow weak, but the vocals are majestic and the whole atmosphere is EXACTLY what I love about Finnish metal, a furious flight through chtonic chaos and purifying sorrow in the end Mystras Castles Conquered And ReclaimedNot great, not terrible, but definitely well-composedObsequiae The Palms of Sorrowed KingsSoyuz Red Blood, White FrostThe concept reminds me of Horn's "Feldpost" but this album is focused on the WW2. These stormy, noisy, passionate covers of two Soviet songs are epic (even despite their infinite length). The rest is nice war metal, not majestic enough to create a soundscape of the great war but acceptable. The horrible accent in spoken parts is kinda annoying.2.5 averageAvarayr A Symphony Carved in StoneMarrasmieli Between Land And SkyOlhava LadogaYsengrin Initiatio2.0 poorBurzum Thulêan MysteriesDrudkh Eastern Frontier in FlamesFalkenbach Asalate-carrier albums by Vratyas Vakyas: where music meets soap operaShow Me A Dinosaur PlantgazerAn excellent example of meaningless hipster album hyped because of "provocative" naming 1.5 very poorFrostnatt NÃ¥r Vinteren Kommertwo riffs and some filters, could be ok for an arcade game soundtrack, unacceptable for listening Himonas ΧειμώναςSomething I would call a failed attempt to write existentialist black metal. The intro is just this average sad melody, the vocals suck and sometimes sound like distorted hip-hop, the synths are boring as hell, and it's a pity because some instrumental parts are deep and catchy.Immortal Northern Chaos GodsThe only immortal thing about these guys is cheesiness1.0 awfulLamp of Murmuur Heir of Ecliptical Romanticismposer/drama queen metal at its best. the trashy production is the only beautiful thing about this lpSolstafir Endless Twilight of Codependent Lovewish i could unhear that. why do they even call their dark pop black metal?
