Doedsmaghird - Omniverse Consciousness

 

Genre: Black/Avant-Garde
Country: Norway
Year: 2024

1. Heart Of Hell
2. Sparker Inn En Åpen Dør
3. Then, To Darkness Return
4. Endless Distance
5. Endeavour
6. Death Of Time
7. Min Tid Er Omme
8. Adrift Into Collapse
9. Requiem Transiens

Debut album by Doedsmaghird, a side-project of Vicotnik (Dodheimsgard, etc.). In its raw essence, this album is black metal, but it’s far from orthodox. At its core, you get the shrieking, tortured vocals and the frostbitten riffs that are signature to the genre, but those elements quickly warp into something more monstrous, something grotesque.

3rd album by Critical Defiance. Once again this is firmly rooted in the old school, but with a subtle modern touch. Once again they don't disappoint. Lots of speed and heaviness, drums that make the whole room shake, razor-sharp, incisive guitars with squealy solos.

Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2024

1. The Stargate [Tablet I]
2. The Stargate [Tablet II]
3. The Stargate [Tablet III]
4. The Message [Tablet I]
5. The Message [Tablet II]
6. The Message [Tablet III]

3rd album by Blood Incantation, 5 years after their last one. The metal sections of this album are crushing and very transcendent. Filled with atmospheric passages, frantic blast beats, and very distant vocals. The ambient more nonmetal parts of the album feel bubbly, cosmic, dramatic, and very open to interpretation. The whole album flows organically. Nothing feels rushed or overly unnecessary.

4th album by Altar Of Oblivion, 5 years after their last one. It is an album that is as catchy as it is gripping. The band’s ability to combine doom and more traditional metal elements is impressive and engaging. Everything about this record feels on point as their riffs and vocals and conceptual tale matches the aesthetic of their soundscape.
