nuage_et_ciel You only need to hear this record once to know that FAKE DUST are ones to watch.

Amazing record, classic stuff.

zirtonic Big shout out to grindcore drummers. These dudes could be making decent money playing jazz clubs and giving lessons but they decided to use their talents to play some of the dumbest shit on the planet. Favorite track: Cooked At Conception.

𝙑𝙖𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 Fantastic. Grim praise, reverence for the Black Foe of the World in his adversarial majesty. This is the best Tolkien-themed black metal I've ever heard, doesnt use its subject matter as a crutch in the slightest. Favorite track: God Chain.

Milo Bloom Very catchy and enjoyable black metal, well worth picking up. Favorite track: Dark Magic River.

last vinyl before doomsday Drags you in and demands repeated listens. Excellent black metal.

acaDamien This album is brutal. Chugging riffs, destructive tones, it is everything I love about death metal. Those vocals cause the roof to shudder and the music over all is slowly marching towards our destruction. Favorite track: Ressentiment.

Blarg Their best stuff since the first EP. This is like being thrown through a fucking wood chipper Favorite track: Blotted Inside.

Obsidian One The opening of "Age of Chains" is atmospheric, melodic, and epic. The music has a different feel than most in the genre: less dark and more fantasy, though still intense at times with icy guitar riffs and cold blast beats. I like the bright-colored cover art, with no logo or text, and the title of the fifth track, "Behold the Shadow of My Thoughts", is great as well. Favorite track: Age of Chains.

Jana Welcome to the magic world of J.R.R. Tolkien, I mean its darker side, of course 😉 This album promises an intense experience to look forward to by all lovers of epic black metal and strong storytelling. I'd like to highlight its excellent production and memorable riffs, as well as collaboration with names as Hulder and Lamp of Murmuur. And yes, it's possible to make lead synth that doesn't sound cheesy 😁 Favorite track: Behold the Shadow of My Thoughts.

Abyssius Murkraken Tolkien themed black metal? Yes please! One of the most profoundly inspired metal releases of 2025!
(Beautiful album artwork, and i love the CDs color choice)

Highly Recommended! Favorite track: Age of Chains.
