Loyal to the Night Sky

Los Angeles, California traditional black metal band.

Fantastic album for fans of the old Norwegian sound, particularly in the style of Darkthrone. Raw and frigid, with biting aggression and fast tempos.

Oakland, California grimey black metal band Dispirit released this album last year, and played a superb Red River Family Fest III set.

Black metal with the slime of death metal, their sound sucks you in like a bog. But that riff in Besotted by Feral Whims, right after the soft intro, it's utterly fantastic, rythmic and mesmerizing. These fellows are quite skilled, and absolutely worth seeing live if you have the opportunity.
