Ah yes, Black Metal, the undisputed industry leader in the one-person-performs-all-of-the-music subgenre.
Not sure why that is, but it seems like you can’t swing a dead cat in a burned down church without hitting seemingly dozens of these acts. One of the latest of these projects to hit my desk is Washington’s Hulder with Verses in Oath (20 Buck Spin). Continue reading

Ghost Cult Magazine is pleased to present the new video from crusty grindcore/power violence up and comers Implore, for their song ‘Sentenced’. The blistering track with a chaotic and poignant video comes from their début full length album, Depopulation, due out next week from Pelagic Records. You can watch the ‘Sentenced’ video at this link or below:
After releasing their initial EP Black Knell in 2014, the Hamburg based, multi-national band is ready to continue making a mark on the underground scene. The band has a pedigree that includes past performances on record from Heaven Shall Burn drummer Christian Bass (co-founder and drums on Depopulation) and Kevin Talley drumming on Black Knell (Suffocation/Dying Fetus). They have already extensively toured Europe and North America as well. Coming into their own on Depopulation, Implore is brutal enough to make you throw down in the mosh pit, yet uncompromisingly smart and eye-opening.
