Fantastic debut album of Blackened Death/Doom warmachine from Lviv, Ukraine dedicated to WWI and coming with fresh and powerful sound in veins of HAIL OF BULLETS, ASPHYX and BOLT THROWER with strong martial atmosphere. The album covers the whole theatre of fighting the Great War - the Battle of Gallipoli and the involvement of Ataturk, Brusilovsky breakthrough, the Battle of Verdun, gas attack at Ypres, Italian troops Arditi, Christmas truce and the bombing of London by German Zeppelins. WWI does not explored very often in metal, but these Ukrainian brave soldiers make a damn solid case for it. It's stomping, it is heavy as all hell, and just makes you want to get up and march toward death.

The second strike of ALBEZ DUZ. Occult Doom the Ancient way. Truly an as-yet-undiscovered gem, the duo of ALBEZ DUZ create dynamic, emotive, expertly textured monoliths of sound that pull from various threads of doom metal, psychedelic rock, dark ambient, and even neofolk. Now, with The Coming of Mictlan, ALBEZ DUZ has both made bolder strides sonically and seemingly perfected their idiosyncratic, oft-elegiac craft. Dark and most doomed for sure, there's a softer side to The Coming of Mictlan that easily evades the now well-worn cliches of doom metal and occult rock. These gentlemen are neither into perfection nor being a philanthropic Samaritan. ALBEZ DUZ is about blood, occultism, the drive for Gnosis, the savoring of nostalgia and melancholy. The aim is not to indoctrinate but to offer a balance to society – a spiritual sanctuary. The band considers itself as a unity that consequently abstains from any names and rather focuses on their artistic performance than on image and personality cult. In the past, the band had stated that ALBEZ DUZ is not about being innovative at any cost but about bridging towards the past, a path back to instinctiveness and the picking up of a nostalgic atmosphere. Here, with The Coming of Mictlan, they've accomplished that AND the art of innovation. Vinyl version was released on Iron Bonehead Productions.

First instrumental solo-album by Alexander Glavniy - mastermind of Ukrainian Funeral Doom Death Metal ceremony AUTUMNIA, well known for his work in MOURNFUL GUST and VAE SOLIS. This album is a journey to unknown place of human mind and soul, where extreme metal meets with immortality of classical music. Without waste words, boring song writing and senseless shredding Alexander wrote and recorded album that broke all borders between metal and classical music. Most probably, the best metal instrumental album, you have ever heard. Conceptual artwork by Nurgeslag (latest ROTTING CHRIST artworks and design).

In the Middle Ages until the early 17the century, the eve of Septuagesima (70 days preceding Easter for Christians), church choirboys symbolically buried the "Alleluia" during a funeral ceremony, for the reason that this song represents joy in the Christian cult. This practice symbolized the start of a dark period of meditation and retreat, leaving no room for joy and happiness. But despite this deep historical concept behind the album title of ARS MORIENDI's new album, you will find a joy: listening to this album. As always, every new album of Arsonist (man behind this French band) is full of musical and aesthetic discoveries. He feels no fear to add jazz, trip-hop, or old-school heavy metal riffs to his very own kind of atmospheric black metal, and without a doubt, Sepelitur Alleluia is his best work to date.

New split release between powerful war-machines from the New World and the Old World: militant black metal by MINENWERFER vs. blackened death-doom by 1914. During the Great War, their grandfathers were on different sides of the trench, but 100 years later, music has bonded them together. Ich hatt einen Kameraden is not only eight musical tracks; it’s history - a history of battles on the Eastern front during 1914-1915, during the Carpathian and Masurian campaigns. It's a history of people who lived, loved, fought, and died. This painting of the Great War, which claimed the lives of over 40 million people, changed the world and destroyed the greatest empires of the Old World.

Epicness in metal is becoming replaced by using ridiculous amounts of cheap synth pads, academically trained musicians playing fiddles and pipes and singing about dragons and midgets. Fuck that.
