Sólveig Matthildur will make hearts implode with her ‘Last Date’ single, an anthem of feminine synth and discotek sadness for all the broken hearts navigating an interior dancefloor. The keyboardist of darkwave trio Kælan Mikla, and co-founder of MYRKFÆLNI magazine about the Icelandic underground music scene, revealed a more experimental, […]
When you don’t expect awesomeness, you will find it where you expect the least. And this is how another French metal band got my attention after the first 5 minutes of listening. Oh, French language, one of the sexiest languages in the world incredible how it can be used in […]
MORA PROKAZA is a duo from Minsk, Belarus, whose latest full length, “By Chance”, released via Season of Mist, clearly proves how wide and unexplored the boundaries of black metal can be. Mora Prokaza was formed in the summer of 2013 by guitarist and singer Farmakon and drummer Isvind. Shortly after the release […]
Cultdreams are a post-punk band at the very base, purging 90’s washes of guitars, nursing simple and catchy shoegazy melodic choruses, while drowning in reverb every note of their riffs on ‘Things That Hurt’, an emotionally logic triggering record.

Oh, hello after 14 years and what a comeback! Green Carnation is definitely that kind of band that remains stuck in your head after the first listening. This album is a fantastic return record that was able to meet my high expectations. Maybe a bit different regarding the vocals with […]
“True confessions are written with tears only. But my tears would drown the world, as my inner fire would reduce it to ashes.” – Emil Cioran Lustre is heading to the inexplicable, to a meaning that no longer needs to be understood. It is the disintegration through which the human […]
I always knew it’s hard to write about something you deeply love…now it’s time to get rid of the fear and let my feelings flow through these lines. For those who know me from before publications, Katatonia has a special place in my heart since long time ago. I never […]
I’ve been waited for this album since I first heard Jonathan’s voice; so calming and soothing a perfect match with the guitar riffs, some kind of music you can listen as a background for your dreams. The cover art for ‘Chants From Another Place‘ is a ‘self-penned portrait’, reflecting a smooth melancholy […]
