LarryB2001 Flippin' awesome basically!!

Ha1f KING this is the future and the past all at once. it's everything. Favorite track: RAP JASM (feat. AKAI SOLO & Justmadnice).

Gavin Hellyer It's almost inconceivable to me how Moor Mother can just continue to deliver with such consistent excellence. Each new album seems to me to be better than the one before it. Each new album more melodic than the previous yet not at the sacrifice of creativity and experimentation. This one has soul, rap, blues and jazz all in mighty abundance. Thank you Camae for being so magnificent. Favorite track: ARMS SAVE (feat. Nicole Mitchell).

cherub.wya A dub raggae masterpiece. Horace Andy's voice is so soothing & warm regardless of his age. It just keeps getting better. Favorite track: Safe From Harm.

Steve Cummins Wonderful vocals from Horace Andy, a voice as fresh now as it was when he first burst on to the reggae scene in the early 1970s. Superbly produced by Adrian Sherwood. Favorite track: Try Love.

kadees Es ist ein Glücksfall, dass Horace Andy mit 72 Jahren sein bestes Album abliefert. Zwei großartige Alben in diesem Jahr – das eine geht nicht ohne das andere.

DJMS fantastic piece of avant-garde black metal Favorite track: Poil de Lune.

Les Acteurs De l'Ombre Productions Get ready to have something crazier than it can possibly be. A Black Metal basis, enhanced by brass instruments, piano, accordion, Theremin, etc. surrounded by a nightmarish atmosphere : all creating a depraved and grotesque circus. Favorite track: Poil de Lune.

XUN Cirque is empty, and all the clowns are here. Probably gonna make you cry. Favorite track: Anis Maudit.

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Représentez-vous une partie de jambes en l'air entre Hardcore Anal Hydrogen, UMBAH et Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects — dégustez bien l'image mentale : c'est cadeau. "Que des mâles, là-dedans !", peut-être mais cela n'empêche pas : il est né le divin enfant, en la personne de Chaos Motion. Le groupe français accouche très vite de Psychological Spasms Cacophony, un être vivant doté d'un beau squelette en death metal technique qui bondit, pleure, se casse la gueule. Drôle et... terrifiant ! Favorite track: Unscrupulousness Resolution.

John Chaos Alexander A chaotic psychotic waltz of mish mashing dischordantly sick chords melting together then arggressively splitting apart , exploding into a sperradic fury of spontanious destruction that's serenaded by throat ripping growls howling from a void of savagery, that twists and distorts the listeners brain. Fuck it was beautiful \M/ Favorite track: Vital Vision Void.

dissodeathnaffamaths What the hell am I meant to say about this when my brain has been melted

Konnyy Incredible 30min. Love this early, raw Ellende. In my opinion their best work alongside Todbringer. Favorite track: Pfad der Endlichkeit.

Wound of Briccius Rückzug in die Innerlichkeit is a dark, real, brooding rollercoaster of human emotion and experience. The use of screams paired with the slowed, almost melancholic use of other non BM instruments makes this album sad, depressing, and mysterious. Although I wish it had more tracks and was overall a bit longer, Ellende has yet to disappoint me. If you want an album with very "human" emotions, this fits the bill perfectly. Favorite track: Pfad der Endlichkeit.

Wisdoms End I discovered Ellende in 2017, Todbringer was out for a few months.
Since then this project stuck with me and returning to it always feels a bit like coming home.
And I wish I could put in propper words why. It feels like BM grew up a bit and reflected on itself... it realized that there is more to it than miming a grimm block of ice.
To me it feels deeply human, lyrically melancholic, also musically but the instrumentation adds some wonderful bitter-sweetness to it. Like a poetic drama.
