Proclamation - Nether Tombs of Abaddon (2012)


This band should need no introduction (and I'm not going to give you one anyway), their killer new album.

Cara Neir - Stagnant Perceptions (2011)

Cara Neir are a black metal band taking influence from a range of different genres including crust, grindcore, grind and post-rock. With a description like that I would often dismiss them as "hipster garbage" without even listening, however I gave this band a shot and it has paid off. Excellent progressive and experimental black metal that actually works and where the different influences make sense and don't just feel like a whole lot of stuff jumbled together for the sake of it.

Alrakis - Omega Cen


This is awesome. Atmospheric, ambient black metal dedicated to space, constellations and galaxies. Whoa. How could this not be incredible? Obviously for fans of Darkspace but I actually think this may be better.

Heresiarch - Obsecrating the Global Holocaust (2011)

Crushing blackened death metal from New Zealand. This is their demo that includes a fucking Bathory cover! You can pre-order their new EP being released on Dark Descent here.

Ruin Lust - Demo CDR (2011)

Black/death metal featuring a member of Fell Voices. Here is the CD-R rip of their demo. You can buy the cassette at Psychic Violence, which apparently sounds much better (although this still sounds good).

No Pleasure in Life - Happiness Is Not An Option

Depressive black metal, like razors on skin. Desperate darkness, feelings of self-loathing and despair. An empty body and an empty life. Happiness is not an option.

Monarque - Ad Nauseam


Decided that the blog should be revived, and here is some excellent Canadian black metal that I've been listening to a lot lately. Canada is producing some quality black metal bands of late, and this is no exception. Monarque is a one-man project, formed in 2003 with a few releases including some live recordings.
