Apocryphos - Stone Speak

Coming off the massive success of his last two releases, Kozletsky returns now in mid 2016 with his greatest solo achievement to date, Stone Speak. Boasting the cover art and mastering skills of Simon Heath, along with the recognition associated with the mind-blowing rise of Cyro Chamber's popularity since its inception only several years back, Kozletsky is poised to come into his own now as a true veteran of the scene, making up in quality for what he lacks in years' experience.

Coma. - Phantomschmerz

By hailing the end and spreading the disease, the Austrian outfit Coma. offers something that goes far beyond borders of normal mind. Phantomschmerz is unique scream of depressed, psychotic and wounded mind, it's so full of deviant emotions. An album that blends everything from black metal, depressive rock, dark electronics, ambient, post-metal/rock is surprisingly coherent and well balanced in all the madness that it spreads. Phantomschmerz is the most intense and most emotional recording Coma. ever did. LINK / LISTEN

Dissvarth - Between The Light And The Moon

The Aussie dark minded composer Dis Pater known from his magnificient band Midnight Odyssey, and Svarthen of Slovakia's atmospheric black metallers Aeon Winds, leave almost completely behind their metal influences and concentrate on the atmospheric, ethereal, yet somehow transcedental side of their music. Dissvarth's sound is based on atmospheric soundscapes, neoclassical music, neo-folk and dark wave, always full of divergent subtle melodies. This is an incredibly intense sonic journey! LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

Draugnim - Vulturine

Draugnim still have it, as they have again delivered an album filled with dense, harrowing and excruciating atmosphere, painted in various shades of black and veiled in mists of northern folklore. On Vulturine all pieces of puzzle fit together in one big, massive and dismal picture. Its fiery passion, flamboyant, yet not too pushy or over the head theatrical sensation is truly one of a kind. Draugnim have again released an album with a power to put a nightmarish spell on you. LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

In The Woods... - Pure

One of the most prestigious and mythical acts coming from Nordic lands, In The Woods..., is back! In The Woods... brings magic, once again they created a sonically provoking album of epic proportions which resonates maybe more than any other album released recently. The band has evolved, matured, the unit revelling in the pleasures of restraint. The mind-chaos of youth has transmogrified into the dark divinity of wisdom that only experience can bring - a welcome respite in times of ephemeral pleasures and hyperactive multiplicities. LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN

Lost In Kiev - Nuit Noire

A French band driven by the will to create epic music that would keep all of the rock energy is back with sophomore album. Lost In Kiev are able to create really amazing, almost hypnotic and truly cinematic atmospheres, that will give the listener an unforgetable hallucinating experience. Nuit Noire deals with the loss of bearings through several aspects, being hypnosis, death, dreams... The characters created by Lost In Kiev first meet, then split up, and in the end discover the unknown, like the listener who gives a careful listen to this sonic, almost transcedental masterpiece. LINK / LISTEN

Sorrowful Land - Of Ruins...

Sorrowful Land is hailing form Ukraine and offers crushing, highly melodic, yet dark and deep doom metal, the band marches forward slowly and steady. Songs are raging from more traditonal doom metal to a pure funeral doom. It's harsh enough, and melodic yet stunningly beautiful! Even if this is their first album, Sorrowful Land will clearly leave a mark in the scene for sure with this stunning release. LINK / REVIEW / LISTEN
