Did a new review! These cold, frosty mornings are for black metal, and Ungfell is some of my favorite from 2024.
Ungfell - "De Ghörnt" - Everything Is Noise
Ungfell deftly scales the snowy summits in search of a colder approach to folkloric black metal on "De Ghörnt".

My buddy Iain wrote a fantastic piece on a criminally slept on band which you should read right now. RIGHT NOW
New review! Felt real good hearing an old favorite band back at it again.
An Axis of Perdition - "Apertures" - Everything Is Noise
After a long slumber, An Axis of Perdition twitches and contorts back into life for the skin-crawling descent of "Apertures".

To Desire an Endless Dream, Vaelastrasz. I always play music during RPGs and for the Abomination Vaults in Pathfinder I’ve been spinning dungeonsynth, a genre which sounds like the music we heard in our heads when playing D&D in the 80s. Hail Vael! vaelastrasz.bandcamp.com/album/to-des...
