2nd album by Uada. This album is haunting my player for a long time. It's a pretty sure contender for the first place in my black metal list for 2018. Melodic black metal, influenced by bands like Dissection and Mgla, majestic vocal delivery, groovy moments and amazing guitar melodies. Compared to their debut, we have the band finding its own identity.

1. Skammen
2. Ritualen
3. Början
4. Löftet
5. Besvikelsen
6. Drömmen
7. Spektaklet

Debut album by Mylingar. Working under a shroud of anonymity, these Swedes have created with their debut record something truly filthy and promising. There is absolutely no light within it. You'll find discordant death metal and grindcore riffs, but every once in a while, you'll encounter a cold wave of tremolos. The distorted vocals are on their own creating a swampy and suffocating atmosphere.

Absolutelly captivating and sick!
