Ichor conjure the epitome of darkness and the power of Pure Black Metal. For this Australian band that have been terrorizing the notion of normality since 1993 theirs is not just music but an assembled multitude of dark forces that is literally the fluid that runs through their veins as Wraith (Guitars) explains “The energies that course through the veins of Ichor are vengeance, reverence and the old cunning ways. Ichor is a conscious departure from what we have done before o

Forever evolving and redefining the boundaries of epic original Black Metal is Pestilential Shadows. A band that makes no apologies and will not be rushed into doing things before they are ready. Always uncompromising and progressing this Australian act remains at the forefront of the genre even with the delay of seven years between their albums ‘’Ephemeral’’ and ‘’Revenant’’, their latest offering of musical darkness. ‘’Balam Guitars, Bass, Vocals ‘’The delay was a combinati

Becoming Immanence is the first chapter of Earthwombs musical evolution. It is a sound and style that is rich in the cornerstones and history of Black Metal, but also takes classical references and their Peruvian culture to create a spiritual journey that is as moving as it is heavy. Something that began from the very beginning ‘’We knew each other from past projects that, unintentionally, sowed the seeds of this project. Our inclination towards black metal (to a lesser or gr

Dzmitry Kramoushchanka (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards & arrangements) ‘’I founded this project with Natallia in 2010. It was the result of our life as heavy music lovers. For many years before we played music together, but it has been since 2010 that it has taken on a more stable form. And even after that, we went through a series of changes in our style. And maybe something else will change in the future, who knows. As for the name, it was planned. I am interested in col

Nercophagous – In Chaos and Death 9/10 Creating a sound that is rooted in pure death metal Sweden’s Necrophagous have delivered an intense unrelenting slab of pure intense mayhem. At times it might sound a little over familiar especially if you’re a fan of the Covenant album but that’s not a bad thing. Horns of Seven is pure intense down tuned riffing and manic double kicking that takes that American first wave of death metal and brings it forth, lurkin

’ARDE started few years ago in Berlin as a D-beat/Crust band but after short time the members decided to play something which they enjoy since years, ending this transformation into heavy and atmospheric Black Metal. We had few line-up changes but right now looks like we are firm crew! ‘’The idea of the name ARDE came from one of our guitar players...it was something that was turning in is head for some time ago. ‘’We are absolutely ready to burn any kind of discrimination su

What inspired you to create Lhaad from your other projects? Was this a natural progression or a conscious one? Lykormas (all instruments/arrangements) ‘’Both. It’s not like Roman from DRUDKH who makes excellent music, but a lot of his projects sounds the same. I think of HATE FOREST, PRECAMBRIAN and BLOOD OF KINGU. It was a quite conscious decision to make LHAÄD sound different than all my other projects (who all have their own identity and own sound). Plus, in my head I had
