Today is a day of black metal in three distinct forms. Firstly we have probably the breakout band of the last handful of years, the superb Blackbraid – III (review by Andy Pountney, @shot_in_the_dark_photography2 ), then the violent dark and chaotic vision of Ash Magick – Rituals Of Anathematic East and thirdly a new EP from the full bloodied Unholy Altar – A Sullen Dark Sky
