Eparistera Daimones
Sickened, haughty, lurching, three weeks long and drenched in pretentious, glowering atmosphere, TRIPTYKON picks up right where CELTIC FROST's brilliant "Monotheist" left off. It's at once highbrow and lo-fi, art and brutality, and it places Tom Gabriel Fischer's "new" band immediately in the vangua...August 21, 2010

From Surface to Suffocation
I don't generally rag on bands for their production choices, but this record sounds like it was recorded behind a wall of wet cotton. The guitars are scooped out and gutless, the low end is weak, and all the vocals sound like they're being sung through a toilet paper tube. The production here is low...August 21, 2010

Ascending in Triumph
I hope you've no desire to experience anything related to adrenaline rushes or fits of OCD-driven housecleaning rage because "Ascending in Triumph" will offer you no help whatsoever in that regard. Sixty-three minutes of generally slow — though not funereally plodding — doom majesty is what NOX AURE...July 27, 2010

Black Medicine
Here is one that almost escaped the detection of my radar system. If you appreciate well written black metal that is relatively diverse and tuneful, yet still in touch with the style's barbaric roots, then "Black Medicine / Fekete Orvosság" from Hungary's AETHERIUS OBSCURITAS is the album for you. Y...July 27, 2010
