Carach Angren invoke The Cult of Kariba!

Carach Angren -The Cult of Kariba - Album Cover

Carach Angren are, to this reviewer, similar to the folks over at Anaal Nathrakh. Both boast fundamentally different styles, of course. But they will burn any mental fat off your inner workings quickly, once you find yourself immersed in their sometimes (very) sick and hopefully, fantasy world. Cathartic tranquilization through pure terror, that kind of thing. Loud, brutal, and plain relaxing.

So, after a long wait, CA finally decided to meet their fanbase again. And that’s a good thing. The outlooks on top of our office tower1 already started to initiate search and rescue plans. Unnecessarily so, because … [...] Click to raid more!

De Profundis spew The Gospel of Rot!

De Profundis - The Gospel of Rot - Album Cover

So, here they suddenly appeared on our radar with a thunderclap of a clip called Ik Kom Uit Het Graf. Meaning, ‘I come from the grave’, courtesy of infamous translators available on the wide interweb. And I never knew that Dutch could sound so menacing.

The track itself is a raspy malevolent rant taken from the band’s upcoming EP The [...] Click to raid more!

Video: Serpent on the Cross, an invocation by Paradise Lost!

Paradise Lost - Serpent on the Cross - Video Cover

Ah, damn. Vacations make you miss things. When good ol’ RMR was pounding the sand and playing with giant squids, Paradise Lost here snuck in a clip right from Ze Kingdom Ov Doom. Already the title, Serpent on the Cross, should have jolted us awake through esoteric osmosis or something. But it didn’t, and here we are, late already for Ascension, the record dropping tomorrow.

The RMR crew was kind of wondering where PL would take this after Obsidian left us in 2020. And if Serpent on the Cross is any indicator, the going just got better. The … [...] Click to raid more!
