Beseech - My Darkness, Darkness

Eleven years since their masterpiece Sunless Days the Swedish gothic metal legends are out with a new album My Darkness, Darkness. Sounding more Beseech than ever by returning to their roots of melancholy and emotions. Beseech on My Darkness, Darkness deliver a moody, emotional and doomy sound that should bring shivers to anybody who fancies gothic genre. Beseech has focused on strong singing with more space for harmonic vocals. It's an album that brings symbiosis with the darkness and the light. LINK / LISTEN

Cryo Chamber Collaboration - Nyarlathotep: A Cryo Chamber Collaboration

Nyarlathotep bolsters 26 artists and a run-time exceeding three hours. It is the most ambitious release yet from Cryo Chamber. Each artist, using their own as well as the stems of fellow artists, come together to build an indecipherable labyrinth of soundscapes, all focused on The Crawling Chaos, Nyarlathotep. Not a moment of the album feels like filler, from beginning to end we are overwhelmed with the brilliant workings of this choice collaboration of artists. LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

Devilment - II-The Mephisto Waltzes

Devilment is back even stronger and with more intriguing album than it was the predecessor. If someone thought that Devilment is just one time thing when they released the first album, and kind of a side project by Dani Filth of notorious Cradle Of Filth, he/she was very wrong. Devilment became with this album a wholly distinctive unholy force, with an intuitive understanding of the value of shattering every mirror and stepping through into an alternate dimension where rulebooks smoulder and hell’s gates are thrown open.

Hymnambulae - Orgelhuset

Par's magnificent grasp on sound manipulation, field recordings, and deep emotive drones, honed through his years' experience as Kammarheit and Cities Last Broadcast, is quite obvious throughout Orgelhuset. It seems that Asa has brought a very mystical, warm and more personal aspect into the fold, giving a perfect balance to Par's often cold and desolate musical output. These opposing forces naturally feed right into the concept of Orgelhuset. LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

Hyperion - Seraphical Euphony

Hyperion, a six piece band who play very fast, technical, melodic and atmospheric kind of black metal. On their debut Seraphical Euphony the band offers nothing but a perfection of sound and all those well played captivating riffs can take the listener on a real trip with the extreme and technically elaborate melodies, and of course it's good that they know how to add a certain dose of atmosphere into the whole thing. Seraphical Euphony is a must for all lovers of dark, technical and extreme metal! LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

The Mission - Another Fall From Grace

Goth rock living legends The Mission came up with a masterpiece that is kind of long lost missing link between The Sisters Of Mercy's First And Last And Always and The Mission's God's Own Medicine, both albums where The Mission's mastermind Wayne Hussey was involved. This is an album that proves that the band is vital as they have ever been. In the constant shape-shifting world of popular music trends will come and go, but The Mission are absolutely here to remain. Another Fall From Grace is a high class gothic rock record above all means. LINK / LISTEN

Thenighttimeproject - Thenighttimeproject

It was in 2009 when Fredrik Norrman left the masters of melancholic rock/metal Katatonia, and it seems that his trademark nostalgic guitar riff, the one that marked the scene so very much, has still a lot to offer. Thenighttimeproject's self-titled debut is a collection of eight beautiful, atmospheric and melancholic rock songs, it's an album for those who are not afraid to be taken away by highly emotional, sometimes distant, but very addictive soundscapes.
