There's been a lot of blackened death craziness being served up lately in our beloved metal genre. Within the past two years especially, it seems like the style has been seeing a return to form of sorts, with the likes of Bölzer, Teitanblood, Diocletian and others dishing out albums that are pleasantly old school, yet with a delicious modern twist. Of all these bands, however, it is probably Belgium's Emptiness who stand as the most immersing and emotive of them all. Their 2014 album encapsulates this idea perhaps better than ever before, and is nothing short of excellent. Read more ›› |

You might like these bands then: Arizmenda I'd say is "whimsical." Lurker of Chalice I would call "jovial" and Blut aus Nord are clearly very "playful" and a "bit of a laugh"

That sounds entirely made up and as the definition of being "pretentious" or maybe it isn't and that's how you genuinely feel about those bands, I couldn't give a flying fuck about that. Whereas I've clearly said why I enjoy this record and why I consider it fun. Now gtfo.

Sure, I listen to whitehouse sometimes and like it, but sane people will not say that whitehouse is a fun band

Album of the decade so far. Few bm albums are there as close contenders but this takes the cake for me.

There are only two albums that strike me with a sensation of uncertainty, desolation and hopelessness, all at the same time . One is this, the other is Dolorian's debut. Musically different tho.

For an album that's supposedly very original, it's pretty fucking forgettable. Think I've tried this three times and the only thing I remember about it is the end of Lowlands.
