Sad - Misty Breath Of Ancient Forests

 

Genre: Black
Country: Greece
Year: 2020

1. Self Hatred
2. Enjoy Your Pettiness
3. Misty Breath Of Ancient Forests (part I)
4. White Death
5. Hellish Ride
6. Misty Breath Of Ancient Forests (part II)
7. Hades Gazing

7th album by Sad. They travel the grim and raw path, mustering negative storms from Black Metal’s ancient past, stubbornly sticking to their principles, refusing to change course or embrace more progressive elements. A bit overlong, especially without some more breaks, segues, or varied tempos, but with ease this is one of Sad's better outings.

9. Dans Le Cabinet De L'Archimage

5th album by Darkenhold. While Darkenhold’s style and production have changed fairly minimally over the course of five long players, each album is a different adventure. This release is whirlwindingly melodic, bombastically symphonic and folkishly of its time.

Carcass - Despicable 'Ep

 

Genre: Death
Country: England
Year: 2020

1. The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue
2. The Long And Winding Bier Road
3. Under The Scalpel Blade
4. Slaughtered In Soho

4-track 'Ep by Carcass. It doesn’t only fills the big time gap (7 years), but also sets the bar so high and makes even bigger the anticipation for the new album too. Cause its four songs were cut from the track listing of their upcoming record as its b sides or relics, and that is a proof that shows how great the band thinks the new material is.

Joyless - Unlimited Hate

 

Genre: Black
Country: Norway
Year: 1996

1. Inherent Emptiness
2. Your Crystal Fragments
3. Bla Melankoli
4. (Don't Need) Religion (Motorhead cover)
5. Overmotets Pris (new version)
6. Jomfrulysets Fall
7. Dimensions Of The Blackest Dark
8. The Haunting Of Julia

Debut album by Joyless, a project of Forgotten Woods members. It contains some songs from the Forgotten Woods days along with new ones that already had some rock influences. The difference between the two projects seems to be that Joyless leans more toward the rock end of the spectrum, whereas Forgotten Woods were decidedly a black metal band.
