Here is what their current record representative Debemur Morti Productions had to say of what’s coming: 6 years after their previous release, DRAUGNIM, the Finnish masters of Melodic Pagan Black Metal, are finally proud to reveal the cover and tracklist ofRead More

Once I was told that some of the finest albums were made by one-man bands. To some extend this is true, especially nowadays. Many artists choose to work on their own despite it’s time-consuming, expensive and demands full devotion to make everything work together. Askrinn is a representative of the one-man group and in my opinion he’s got the potential of becoming one of the top ones. The mastermind who stands  behind this name is Valenten who demonstrates his talent on a number of levels. First off, running a one-manRead More

Forever we’ll be reigning in this kingdom of timelessness Gandreid was born in 2011 as a studio project of Dáublódir, a musician from Bergen who first reached my attention through Skygge. After he “dug up and blew some dust off” old ideas from somewhen between 1999 and 2002, he recorded Gandreids first album Nordens Skalder – and both name and album title give you a very good idea of what’s to come: “Gandreid” is Norwegian for the Wild Hunt, “Skalder” are poets who composed at Norwegian and Icelandic courts inRead More

Russian bm scene captured my attention long time ago. There are many names that shall always have a reserved place in my playlist among which are Ashen Light, Stigmatic Chorus and Black Shadow. However, as going deeper in the Russian underground, I stumbled upon a priceless treasure that happened to be recently (so to speak) released. To be honest, before hearing Whirlwind of Wild Hunt, I hadn’t heard of Heresiarch Seminary and as soon as I did, I basically added yet another Russian band to my modest fav list. TheRead More
