Necessity calls for, the long winded battle for home
Gestating dreams of triumph
Still bracing for the fall
Soon to be one
With my sword and my lust for conquest
Dreams and tales intertwining
Remiss coercion apart from
The aroma
Of the pouring rain of blood
Wide eyed in the darkness
Wearing the hatred of a thousand men
Blighted by a glimpse into the future
Time is a blur
My fortunes were missed
The voids chaos is my home
What have I done?
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
