Ardor For Black Mastery

Ardor For Black Mastery

Auriferous Flame

Blasting Greek black metal at it's finest from Ayloss of Spectral Lore. This album is a full assault channeling the best of the classic Greek sound, yet remains firmly new and fresh. Everything from the cacophonous vocals, full-throttle drums, and excellent riffs creates a no-holds-barred listening experience, which is further improved by the stylistic flourishes of the occasional underlying synths and choral elements.

The album can be purchased from Bandcamp and True Cult Records.

Thy Catafalque

One of my favorite releases this year, a stunning mix of metal, folk, classical, electronica, and whatever else Tamás Kátai felt like, as usual. From bludgeoning death metal to ominous horns to spacey synths to atmospheric, emotionally gripping black metal, this album has it all. If a breadth of style and superbly-blended disparate elements are your thing, this album is worth spinning.

The album can be purchased from Bandcamp and Season of Mist.
