What a masterpiece... This is the black metal that is really hard and challenging to listen. It's incredibly layered, dense and menacing. Everything here is calculated for heavy psychodelia and exhaustion for listener. Production is top notch for black metal album, the guitars are distinct and never drown over synth and weird effects. Gongs are used for some great atmosphere here and there. Vocals are also very varied, some excellent clean, spoken verses here will haunt your dreams for weeks. Overall a top notch, heavy hitting, symphonic black metal. Dementia will consume your soul.

Alghazanth The Three-faced Pilgrim
This is the album that put aside any prejudice on trve kvlt BM after the golden years of this scene. And there lies
a gem, not of sweeping melodies or veiled discorded mutations, but of a feeling being part of ritual or prayer,
which is enhanced by its lyrical content. For those, who does not seek overly techincal or keyboarded BM with a
hint of Finnish early BM sound, you be blessed or cursed with this offering.

"To say that fate is what you make of is not entirely true. There are certain paths you are drawn to and bound to
tread even if you might fool yourself to think otherwise. We can drink now or be led to the water later on but at
some point drink we must."
Alkaloid The Malkuth Grimoire
Alter Magnitudes is alone worth to buy this album. Some really incredible musicianship and melody here. It's fun, it's heavy as fuck and lightning fast in "drop your jaw" pace and precision. Some songs just rips through your flesh. Also it's recorded in audiophile manner, which is greatly appreciated - sounds incredible on high-end audio.

This is way more melodic and less disjointed than their previous offerings. Kinda goes in melodic brutal death metal category in my book. Nevertheless, this is incredibly talented piece of an art.
Lunar Aurora Elixir of Sorrow
Hypnotic and crushing at the same time. This is purely trance black metal and should be used for meditation
under the moonlight.
Lykathea Aflame Elvenefris
Machinae Supremacy Overworld
Machinae Supremacy Redeemer
Mare Cognitum The Sea Which Has Become Known
The first track is thee black-metal epic. This is what i can call a perfect track...
Mare Cognitum An Extraconscious Lucidity
This is essential atmospheric black metal. On par with darkspace, intensive, melancholic, mean offering. It's the sonic recreation on cosmic abyss, dark and chaotic, but with little hint of hope, since this comes from an earthly being.

Timeless classic. Italian elegance with agressive of black metal. Pure black metal misanthropy is spawned in
such hatred, few can only match vocal intension of such musical ritual. Undoubtedly a true black metal record.

Underrated band. This is a black metal with heaviness of death metal. Very original stuff, for those who likes atmo-black with heavy than your usual riffs moments. Keyboards used very tastefully and does not dilute the metal.
Windir 1184
