Gruesome Splendour

I've come across a fair number of black metal albums the past couple of months that are of the solid-but-not-sensational variety, HANDFUL OF HATE's "Gruesome Splendour" being yet another such album. All that really means if this Italian bunch is one of several black metal acts taking cues from the l...

The Deep and Dreamless Sleep

Never been a big fan of these Boston trad-metal water-treaders, from their somewhat plodding and generic major label days to their more recent, hopeless and low-buck efforts. And I wasn't expecting to change my mind based on the "Xeroxed tree" motif of the cover of "The Deep and Dreamless Sleep", or...

Psalm II: Infusco Ignis

I'm not sure about this whole black metal vision thing, but one-man band Skamfer (ex-ONDSKAPT) with his project HERESI has put together a hardy 28 minutes of ripping, if unoriginal, black metal. Skamfer plays all instruments on "Psalm II: Infusco Ignis" (originally released on Sweden's Total Holocau...

Gateway

The cold grey album cover of "Gateway" from Finland's PESTIFEROUS speaks volumes of the pitch-black metal in store for the listener. Few would mistake PESTIFEROUS for one of the genre's great ones, but many should applaud the band's better than average assault, which features more than just DARKTHRO...
