My World of Music – est. 2013
Mork has its beginning in 2004 and is the brainchild of Thomas Eriksen. It started as a side-project which also explains the relatively belated debut album. 'Isebakken' saw the light of day in 2013 and was a kind of a kickstart for more. More albums followed, of which 'Det Svart Juv' in 2019 was the... Continue Reading →
'The Thule Grimoires' is the new album from Aachen's death/black metal outfit The Ruins Of Beverast. In tradition with the previous albums, five in total, the new longplayer is also not a burst of joyfulness but a gloomy delight. The dark adventure of The Ruins Of Beverast has its beginning in 2003 and after a... Continue Reading →
An album in which I had great hope is the new album of Cadaver. Anders Odden, also known from Satyricon, started the band in 1988 and since then, Cadaver has been an on/off project. Three albums, that was essentially what Cadaver brought to the shelves. For a long time it was quiet around the band... Continue Reading →
‘Grey’ turns into ‘Red’ turns into ‘Black’, at least following the releases from extreme metal suppliers Scour. The band, featuring Phil Anselmo, John Jarvis, Derek Engemann, Mark Kloeppel and Adam Jarvis, had its foundation year in 2015 and it was an EP called ‘Grey’ that hit the shelves in 2016. With ‘Black’ the third EP... Continue Reading →
NEW RELEASES. Here's the regularly updated list of what's in the pipeline.
Soulburn has roots that go back to the second half of the '90s and originated from the Dutch metal legend Asphyx. In a period of a first decline for Asphyx, Eric Daniels, Bob Bagchus and Wannes Gubbles took off with Soulburn and released a remarkable debut in 1998. Soulburn, in its early years, was plagued...

To call AUÐN the Sólstafir of black metal is a bit too far-fetched. Nevertheless, certain parallels cannot be denied. But let's take it one after the other. AUÐN are based in Iceland and they have dedicated themselves to atmospheric black metal. Their music, and this is certainly a parallel to Sólstafir, seems to be very... Continue Reading →
Not being shy of a catchy melody, Swedish black metal merchants Mörk Gryning finished work on their new studio album, entitled 'Hinsides Vrede'. The band started back in 1993 and can be looked at as being veterans when it comes to Swedish black metal. The debut album was unleashed in 1995 and up to date... Continue Reading →
Necrophobic arose from the '90s death metal scene in Stockholm. After having unveiled the debut album 'The Nocturnal Silence' in 1993, the metal command added numerous albums to their track record with 'Mark of the Necrogram' being the lastest one. Two years later the Stockholm-based metal squad has the next longplayer lining up to be... Continue Reading →

The Northmen return with a new album called 'Utgard', three years after 'E' was shipped from Norway to the rest of the world. 'Utgard', the outerworld, has its roots in Nordic mythology. There is with Midgard the area of humans and there is Asgard, where the Gods are at home. Utgard is beyond the two,... Continue Reading →
The Metal trolls are back and different to the internet trolls these ones are very welcome. It’s Finntroll that launch their next longplayer in September, a next chapter of a story, Somnium and Katla probably didn’t have in mind when founding the band in a rehearsal room back in 1997. Deviating from traditional Black Metal,... Continue Reading →
Slowly but steady, UADA's fansbase is growing, mainly due to great musical craftsmanship that's so far reflected on two longplayers. UADA was funded in 2014 and debuted two years later with 'Devoid of Light'. 'Cult of a Dying Sun' was the next strike from the Portland-based quartet and sticking to a 'every second year' release... Continue Reading →
After Portuguese Gaerea premiered in 2018 with 'Unsetting Whipsers' the band received a lot of positive feedback, which has been the springboard for the quintet to further evolve. What certainly helped guys from Oporto was inking a deal with Season Of Mist. With the support of the new label the guys started to work on... Continue Reading →
In summary, we can say that The Rite have achieved a very solid start with this album. Thanks to a tight groove, the songs are instantly memorable and will continue to fascinate even after listening to them several times. 'Liturgy of the Black' is an album I can recommend, no doubt.
