Regimental Records Feature

United States’ Regimental Records has launched attack after attack without mercy and here, Forbidden Magazine puts two of them under the microscope…
First up is ‘The Victorious’, a two track 7″ from German masters of ‘technical black metal’ (is that even a genre?) Nordafrost. I don’t know what else to call them and don’t really care, [...]

Mhorgl – Heresiarch

These days, it’s really hard to not find one’s self completely overcome with a disgusted, misanthropic attitude toward the present state of humanity…at least if you’re paying attention to the grueling shitstorm that is society. If not, then you must be one of the lucky and/or oblivious few that will march like sheep through your [...]

Kult ov Azazel

12 QUESTIONS FOR XAPHAN OF KULT OV AZAZEL
Kult ov Azazel is a long-running, much respected American underground act. I have been extremely fond of their malevolent, crushing brand of blackdeath since their inception, and can happily say that they’re still going strong and show no signs of slowing down. Frontman Xaphan blessed me with the [...]

Kata Sarka/Nak’ay split

In the disgustingly unending quest for all-that-is-technologically-superior in life, today’s general human population tends to steer away from the cassette tapes when it comes to music. “Tapes are a dead format.”, they’ll say. Often, the suggestion of downloading can be heard muttered in conversation or read in an internet post by some oblivious kid who [...]

Funeral Fornication – Pandemic Transgression

Hailing from British Columbia, the one-man sorrow monger, Funeral Fornication, has released its latest ode to melancholia, Pandemic Transgression. Sorrowful is one way to describe the album, as a brooding sadness permeates every song. Not content with the tremolo picking and tortured screams of most black metal, Vultyrous showcases his more ambient side by tossing [...]

Alastor – Demon Attack

This Portuguese label is one of the coolest finds I’ve had in years! They either re-issue classic and essential material like Bleeding Fist’s Devil’s Ferox, or release limited runs of brutal shit like Devastator’s Conjuring Evil, or bring to light the venomous and vulgar sounds from the caverns of the Portuguese metal underground (all aggressive [...]

Devastator – Conjuring Evil

Now we see the passing of the (long stolen) winter festival vulgarly dubbed as Christmas, and now talk of ways for “ringing” in the New Year, or as I say “wringing” as I recommend doing so by grasping it firmly by the throat and tightening while blasting this bastardized early Sodom blackened thrash trash!!!! Regardless [...]

Immolith

I, for one, have been waiting for the Immolith for quite some time and now, ‘Storm Dragon’ is upon us! In my opinion, it has been well worth the wait. Take us along the road that has led up to the release of this killer album…
Thanks man, we really appreciate it.   Yeah it’s been a [...]

Dethroned Christ – Roots of Ancient Evil

In my honest, diseased, and eccentric opinion Dethroned Christ is perfect, and it’s not just the name that makes me empty my bowels with alacrity (i.e. tremendous ease)!!!! In fact, DC fits my idea of black metal supremacy in the following ways:

It’s raw, like an Indian burn on your forearm induced through the harsh scratching [...]

Vergos Di Noctis – Vosegus

Here comes another raspy, treble bomb of haunting black metal by way of War Productions that has had my brain melting into fluorescent  ooze from some sort of hypnotic stranglehold for months by the majestic Vergos Di Noctis.
I’ve been pummeling my senses with this French band for two months solid and the most accurate description [...]
