Contrasts in genre but not in quality today. First up we have the emotional debut EP from excellent Irish post-metal/blackgaze duo Tryste – To Rise You Seek The End and then we enter the dark and unforgiving woods with intense and deeply atmospheric raw sounds of Jzovce – Lesy
-
Today it’s eleven or so years back in time to what I still think of as a quite remarkable coming together of black metal/pagan metal artists visiting and sharing their folk roots with Various Artists – One And All, Together, For Home (Season Of Mist 2014)
-
A little later in the day, but please DO NOT miss out on this quite exquisite exploration of the nightwinds from Aura Merlin – Moon Gates
-
Today an excellent split of unique approaches to black metal indeed Priestcraft, Fleshdirt, Shadow And Claw – Offerings From Serpentine Currents
-
Today a throwback four years to when a frankly extraordinary, and hugely varied collection of musicians paid tribute to the legend that is Various Artists – The Others: Lustmord Deconstructed (Peliagic 2022)
-
Today we go on a wonderful Fool’s errand as we explore the evocative, grand but often sad world of Varvitos – A Jester’s Ode To The Dead
-
Today a little change of pace with the beautiful slow rock, folk tinged twilight world of Swedish duo Moon Mother – Meadowlands
-
A little change in pace this week as we look back to 2023 and the first, and for tragic reasons final time that I persuaded Thee Ed at Ave Noctum, Pete Woods (RIP) to let me do an end of year round up including a section on Dungeon Synth. Gizmo’s 2023 EPs, Demos and Dungeons
-
Today we have the wonderful pleasure of being in the enchanted world of the one and only Hermit Knight – Pseudanthium
-
I step into something deeply unpleasant but impossible to look away from with the twisted DevilsHarvest – est.IV:XX but find myself redeemed and uplifted by the atmospheric, fierce but beautiful Hiraeth – Tales Of Resistance
