Weird and eerie. That's all I can say about this one.

That was pretty strange. I don't know if it was particularly good, but at least it was interesting.

Tolerable wishy-washy atmos-black, but the death metal Adramalech is better ;]

yeah it is, the one that was called Demigod before that and were better as Demigod than as AdramElech. JOOE misspelled the name.

New Winterfylleth available for streaming (Thanks to Lokaeda for telling me). Great atmospheric black metal with pagan undertones.

Dark ambient / industrial black metal inspired by The Axis of Perdition, Blut aus Nord etc. called Void.



Great song.

Not bad, nice find. Damn... Can't you believe I still haven't heard TAOP?

Yeah, look at that cover. YET another band stealing Beksinski's artwork, and one of his most popular ones too. That artwork is probably featured on a dozen albums across metal, if not more.

Oh wait, looks like they had permission to use it and is actually a concept album based on it. Well shit me. I didn't listen to it though. Atmosblack = instant turnoff these days.

Ugh, sounds like he's drumming on milk crates.

It's quite decent, but yeah the drums don't sound good.

The best black metal releases this year? I'm searching for a more atmospheric (not necessarily post or gaze) or industrial black metal.

I keep seeing Hooded Menace's new album around. IS it good?

Yes it is. I don't know if it's a step up from their previous albums, but they're remained incredibly consistent. They just do this kind of groovy death doom better than most anyone at the moment.

I'm not as much of a black metal buff as some here, and my opinions may be somewhat unorthodox. But the new Blut aus Nord (though only borderline industrial BM), A Forest of Stars and Alkerdeel (sludgy and raw) are the shit. Nachtmystium was positively received, managing to sound psychedelic and unique without resorting to gimmicks, but I wasn't amazed by it.

Oh, and I almost forgot Merrimack and Reverence on the industrial BM field. Both are worth checking out.

Nailed it! The guy actually took the time to go throught all the legal process to acquire the right to use the painting as the cover of his demo and it's not just for shock value too. He actually built his Demo around that piece of art. So kudos for him for respecting another artists work.

@Boxcar: Yeah drumming is obviously something to work on, but globally it's a pretty good and solid Atmo BM release.

I'll second IronAngel and go for Merrimack.

Fairly sure I posted these ages ago but I'm rediscovering them again now and they really are amongst the nastiest, gloomiest sounding records I've heard this year, if not ever. Strangely, they both sound pretty similar.

Hellvetron have a great sound, extremely cavernous death/ doom with a distinct black vein running through it.



Muknal are essentially a pacier version of Hellvetron with more emphasis on the black /death metal aspect, to put it simply.







Both these records are amazing. There's no two ways about it.

(Lots of pink/red going on in the last two posts)

Slow, crusty and devastating Doom Superband. The first album leaves a good enough impression for me to want more.
