flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Very impressive black and death metal with tons of atmosphere and comparisons to everything from Oranssi Pazuzu to Schammasch

𝕸𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖊𝖑 With ​Tenebrario, Hierophany has managed to capture the special sort of menacing magic that many occult bands strive for but few achieve. By balancing technical proficiency with a raw, spiritual intensity, they have crafted an incredibly authentic and ritualistic feeling album. It is a terrifying, layered, and ultimately captivating hymn to the darkness.

RUIN I’ve been listening to Black Metal for over 25 years and this album was an instant buy. I love the raw dungeon sound and the riffs. Great release! Favorite track: Wolves Feast on Forgotten Dreams.

thehorribleasp I really like this. Probably knight without a name is the strongest song overall, but they’re all pretty good. Etched oath is my favorite riff, which yeah, black metal, but it’s still at its core Rock & Roll, and rock is fundamentally about the riff. They’re all great riffs, and tbh I’ve been thinking about starting my own black metal band so I really like this album, looking forward to hearing more from Draigveil. Rock on! 🤘🏻🏳️‍⚧️

Junge Asche I genuinely appreciate the music and have always supported it with respect. However, after positively engaging, liking posts and occasionally sharing my own creativity, I was suddenly blocked on Instagram without explanation. It feels strange when an artist shuts out listeners who truly care. Art should build connection, not exclusion.

Warangelic Sinister Norwegian black metal

boenna If anyone is ever gonna sodomize me it's gonna have to be a tag team of Nattsvart & Satan. Favorite track: Satans sodomitt.

Gauntlet One of my absolute favorites of this year. Catchy riffs and sleek songwriting, all while holding a unique feel and sound. I also appreciated the unexpected bonus track on my CD copy! Favorite track: Eden.

tomazp Excellent cascadian black metal full of killer riffs. Hell of a debut. Favorite track: Horizontal Ambient Cry.
