ALBUM REVIEW: Veilburner – The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom

Posted on by

Veilburner (the mysterious, otherworldly duo of Mephisto Deleterio and Chrisom Infernium, are never shy of tying lore and mythology into their releases. Seven albums, seven tracks, and each of them seven minutes long. On The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom (Transcending Obscurity Records) the pair pick up where they left off (both musically and conceptually) with 2022’s almost-eponymous VLBRNR. Continue reading →

ALBUM REVIEW: Adon – Adon

Posted on by

Decapitated drummer James Stewart bolsters Adon’s self-titled album (Neuropa Records). He adds more titanic depth to the stomp of the band’s larger-than-life grooves. The vocals are marginally more sinister than your standard Death Metal, with a cruel-hearted rasp that brings  Deicide to mind in this regard. Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Construct of Lethe – A Kindness Dealt In Venom

Posted on by

Virginia’s very own Construct Of Lethe has released three full-length albums to this day, with A Kindness Dealt In Venom being the most recent, out via Transcending Obscurity Records. The Death Metal unit seems to be fond of incorporating the lyrical themes of chaotic psychological terror into their songs, but on this album they managed to encompass an even more wider range of emotions, from suicidal depression, self-hatred and existential void. Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Amiensus – Reclamation

Posted on by

The geography of Minnesota is described as being a largely woodland abundant area and, famously, waters, often referred to as “The land of 10,000 lakes”. Such scenery has become synonymous with Black Metal; in particular some of the genre’s more melodic bands as well as acts such as Amorphis (albeit the latter has only A Thousand Lakes). It is no surprise then that visuals of Minnesota would also create such Black Metal, with Amiensus’ roots being in the state. Also, much like some of their similar sounding peers, the likes of Reclamation (M-Theory Audio) are also a somewhat immersive experience which feels ready for the outdoors.Continue reading →

ALBUM REVIEW: Bipolar Architecture – Metaphysicize

Posted on by

Since the ending of their previous outfit Heretic Soul, German/Turkish outfit Bipolar Architecture have been on a bleak and introspective evolutionary path. From previous Death Metal roots, the band have seen their sound alter substantially into more expansive territory with the inception of their new band in a short space of time. Now following on from 2022’s brooding Depressionland (Self-Released), latest release Metaphysicize (Pelagic Records) sees them further refine this sound to compelling results.Continue reading →
