The runes spoke Into the night
To tell the outcome of life and magic
The moon shines on the peaks of the stones cast for my clandestine quest
I will Die upon the freezing breeze
Before I drift under snow
Embraced, winters hold
Enchant my hell withered soul
I storm, the hold, of my perilous goals
With the force of the storm wind
Torn from sunrise
Buried beneath
The bones and memories in my mind
Solace lies, on the other side of glory
When my sword strikes again
Never ending battle The end unseen
Until my blade fulfilled this dream

Some of the best black metal coming out of the Midwest currently. Dynamic and groove heavy. Ofstingan has abit more to offer than your standard trve kvlt edgelords just copying the second wave Norwegian sound of old. Brimming with atmosphere and an overwhelming feeling of darkness. A rare occurrence where a band is just as awesome on recording as they are live. Hails 𝕺𝖋𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖆𝕹!!!! countxulfric

Aquilus took a decade off and came back like he never left! Bellum I is yet another piece of beautiful melodic black metal mixed with classical and folk that makes you wanna dance naked in a forest somewhere. The natural sounding production increases the atmosphere heavily. Griseus is a monumental black metal album for me but Bellum I isn't far behind. Can't wait for II! Ryan
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023

Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74
