Angrenost - Magna Lua Ordem Mística

Emerging from northern Portugal in the formative years of the second wave of black metal, Angrenost has been defined not by output but by its unorthodox evolution. With roots planted by Pursan and A. Ara, the project has been a vessel for exploring the evil within man, free from the constraints of the prevailing scene or current trends. The reunion of Pursan with A. Ara, alongside Erdsaf and M. Skúlason, has yielded Angrenost’s most mature and inspired offering to date: Magna Lua Ordem Mística ("The Mystical Order of the Great Moon"). A work full of bygone tradition, elevated by a mastery of sound, as well as words and spirit that make it shine with a distinct light. The album invites listeners to walk a contemplative path across the ephemeral nature of existence. It is a narrative of humanity’s voyage from the still waters of the immaterial plane into the mortal sphere of chaos and corruption – a world where the celestial bond fractures and the soul of Man encounters raw embodiments of the diabolical. Magna Lua Ordem Mística stands at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, blending esoteric lore with the intricacies of composition. It represents a sincere and powerful display of everything that makes black metal an obscure and sinister art form.

Abyssal Rift - Extirpation Dirge

Abyssal Rift emerges from the bowels of hell with its debut-full length monstrosity, "Extirpation Dirge", a thirty six-minute miasmatic behemoth of dark and antihuman death-doom conceived by Columbus, Ohio-based multi-instrumentalist Matt Auxier (of industrial acts 6th Circle and Ash Prison) handling all instruments, songwriting and recording, with the exception of drums (performed and recorded remotely by David Mahoney of Irish black/grind terrorists Unyielding Love). The band is the manifestation of Auxier's long-running history as a metalhead and of his extensive appreciation (parallel to that for industrial music) for dark and atmospheric death metal bands like Incantation, Disembowelment and Immolation as well as for 60's and 70's prog bands like Goblin, King Crimson, Eloy, and Amon Düül II, which in the context of his expertise and knowledge as a producer and home studio owner, has yielded a dense and disorienting dark death metal beast shrouded in surreal atmospheres and an hallucinatory form of dirge-like experimentalism. An all-devouring obfuscation of abyssic crush depth, "Extirpation Dirge" seems horizonless and bottomless as it propagates and gravitates downward like a churning maelstrom, alternating moments of obliterating machine-like dark death metal destruction to others of misery-torn doom and cinematic widescreen experimentalism, with dense synth work alternating contemplative passages of clean guitars and ominous presages of spectral dark ambience.

Morne - Engraved With Pain

Talvez poucos liguem ao excelente regresso de Morne, no entanto para quem gosta dos primeiros dois albuns de Cult of Luna ou não se sente confortável com as vozes do Colin mas gosta do instrumental de Amenra talvez faça sentido.

Grande album!!

Tetragrammacide - Typho:Tantric Aphorisms from the Arachneophidian Qur'an

The Indian sonic temple expand the extremes latent to their aesthetic, and draw them closer and most distant simultaneously, playing into the head-spinning and ouroboros-eating vortex of the album's themes itself. While the preceding full-length had its heart fixated on "Srishti Drishti Vada" - doctrine of perception through the creation - this new opus has sprouted itself under the Upanishadic tenets of "Drishti Srishti Vada": doctrine of the creation through perception and "Ajata Vada" - the radical doctrine of non-creation. State the band, "This way, the phenomena is completely negated, eliminated and rightfully renunciated under all possible situations of any given philosophical, esoteric and religious narratives!" 

Silencio! 

Venera!
