Video: Ik Kom Uit Het Graf, sepulchral musings by Carach Angren!

Carach Angren - Ik Kom Uit Het Graf - Video Cover

Long time no hear, sez I. After their take on Frankenstein (or Franckensteina) left the gate, Carach Angren kinda disappeared from sight. A few deep knocks here and there, but nothing to write home to the Dark Lord about.

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.

Discreet voices whispered of a new clip, a harbinger of an equally new record to come. A one-shot video called The Rune (2025). And this piqued our interest because we didn’t know what to expect.

It could have been the countenance of … [...] Click to raid more!

Video: We Rule The Waves by Amon Amarth!

Amon Amarth - We Rule The Waves - Video Cover

RMR already crewed two of Amon Amarth’s mighty warparties, Jomsviking and Berserker. Both records were – unsurprisingly – typical handiwork of one Johan Hegg, albeit with a rusty bite and action galore.

Now, their 2022 piece, The Great Heathen Army, sailed right past RMR’s tiny shark-infested island. Back into the swamp, it was sent, where strange records slither unchecked. And it was the dime-a-dozen type of delivery that did it. Sure, you’ll find sturdy metal of the type the Amon Amarth crowd will relish. But it felt – generic, even for a Viking Metal piece.

So, … [...] Click to raid more!
