Son Lux is an experimental American band, having recently unveiled the first chapter of their ambitious three-volume album ‘Tomorrows I’. Ryan Lott is the band’s founder. As per usual their music is so real that their synths and guitar pitches give me shivers down my spine every time I listen […]
Ahhh…and the album is out! Of course, Ulver needs no further presentation because it’s by far one of the best musicians still active in the music industry. I’ve waited for this release to show up since February when I got to listen to ‘Russian doll’. A thing which got my […]
With this EP, Zimbru sends a quite direct message to your inner not-giving-a-fuck asshole, but it also cradles you at its breast in a step-motherly manner
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.

This is going to be messy and dirty, and who does […]
It’s hard to deny that many of the listenership is right: this isn’t black metal anymore but I don’t see it as a major problem. Actually I think this is for the best for Oranssi Pazuzu. Because music evolves and there are a lot of other genres which need to […]
Many years ago when I started to listen to Behemoth’s old stuff I never imagine that Nergal could be in another band which is totally different from what Behemoth is. And maybe this is the definition of what a good musician is. Let’s see what this album means to me. […]
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 […]
