8BitF0x Actually a banger Ghost cover.

agentkalgibbs it's a sin is one of my favourite covers, not only by ghost, but by anyone!

dtlentz85 Basically, I love everything Ghost releases.

Urso X Melancholic, cinematic black metal that could be the soundtrack for a documentary about psychological suffering under terminal, late-stage hyper-capitalism. The title says it all, really, and what it doesn’t say, the remarkable video for “Spectral Insomnia” certainly makes explicit. All that being said, BDA isn’t the soul-destroying buzz kill you might otherwise imagine; the musicality, artistry, and authenticity displayed elevates it to the realm of inspired (& inspiring) truth-telling. Kudos! Favorite track: Spectral Insomnia.

highmarx I’m here via Brad Sanders’ monthly metal column in Stereogum, having never heard this artist, and I was immediately awestruck. This one really breathes new life into atmospheric black metal, despite its brooding, ominous energy. I can’t recommend this enough. Favorite track: Opaque Mist.

Antrodemus This is a dark, melancholic album, beautifully composed like a film soundtrack. It feels immersive, like watching an emotional memoir. It speaks to me personally.
Best listened to from start to finish, it takes you through a bleak emotional journey. Respect to Januaryo Hardy, and thanks to all the supporting musicians. I hope this album serves as catharsis for you and for listeners who connect with it. Favorite track: Bleak Days Ahead, Pt. II.

BoboDupla Another fantastic LP by Pure Wrath. Really loving the sad, emotional vibe. The music is varied enough, there are elements of other genres present and the whole album takes you on a journey through all the bleak parts of the world. Favorite track: Opaque Mist.
