Lachy Spinks Roman’s best work of all three of his outputs this year. Along with Drudkh this will be my AOTY Favorite track: Nest of the Witches.

Ippocalyptica It was never a question of if, but only when, I would buy a masterfully-produced live album featuring many of Misþyrming’s and Sól án varma’s best songs. My biggest live music goal in 2024 is to see Misþyrming play live at Ascension later this year, and while this is a bit out of my hands at the moment, it would be a true bucket list moment for me to do so. Now that I can hear how well they play their incredible material in a live setting, I respect the band even more. Top notch stuff! Favorite track: Hof.

David Fischer Yule is early, my friends. Með hamri í lifandi formi came out of nowhere and contains both my favourite pieces of music by Misþyrming as well as Sól án varma. Unlike Lady Yoma, I haven't seen them live unfortunately but that flaw shall be corrected as soon as possible! The setlist is great and the performance insane, energetic and as infectuous as the black plague when it first broke out. Seventy minutes of unbridled, ecstatic madness. Thanks, Gentlemen!
@Yoma: pure envy! Favorite track: Engin vorkunn.

hammerstein4711 Love this band - looking forward to see them live at last!
Favorite track: Afbrigði VII.

YomaBarr First 😛
Hehe I saw them when? a month ago? the venue was so crowded I wasn't able to throw my fist in the air, wonder how the pit didn't burst the walls open, D.G. was soaking wet like straight from the shower, the place smelt of burnt amp cable insulation and it was madness like this here. Thanks for this and for that gig, guys!

Misthyrming! I was at a shopping mall today, 5 days before xmas. Without you I wouldn't have made it 😆😆😆 Favorite track: Aftaka.

David Fischer Interregnum, being the perfect continuation of Heilsweg, delivers excellent, no-bullshit black metal on an even higher level! Instrumentally, these songs are extremely captivating but, as with its predecessor, I am completely and utterly blown away by the vocals: savage and explosive, yet almost meditative – like a desperate, forlorn prayer to an indifferent, merciless, sadistic entity. A swirling torrent of cascading insanity. Both Mānbryne records will be on heavy rotation this year. Stunning! Favorite track: Pierwszy kamień.

sashavonkarl74 @mourner totally agree, this is grabbing you and doesn’t let go until you’re completely part of it in absolute unity. Fantastic album!!

Forever grateful to @Yoma for this suggestion 🤘🏼🤘🏼 Favorite track: Pierwszy kamień.

Bart Epic black metal that draws you in and is hypnotic at times. "Po Trupach Ku Niebu" and "Pierwszy Kamień" are easily the album highlights. Favorite track: Po trupach ku niebu.

Metallurgical Fire An enveloping storm disguised as music. That is GAEREA. It took me eight years to understand. Favorite track: Lifeless Immortality.

MetalJazzVinyl Hands down one of my favorite albums - can’t recommend enough. Favorite track: Cycle of Decay.

sashavonkarl74 Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. Favorite track: Absent.

donslyfollower3 great album, awesome music that's rivaled only by the hit song "this is a chicken wing", but for real though, READ THE FUCKING NOTICE, buy it on the label's website

i had to learn my lesson twice, because i am a stupid fucking idiot

acaDamien I just learned of this project from Noise due to the announcement of the new album. I went back and now I am absolutely hooked on this. Brilliant work and I cannot wait to listen to more! Favorite track: Thousand Years of Sand.

maltebrigge Noise is one of the reasons I learned to love black metal. Favorite track: The Last Act.
