Element of Fate‘s official website seems to be Instagram of all things. Yep, this social media channel. A spawn of the terrible Meta-verse that seems to be the only one garnished with the band’s moniker. This doesn’t or should not reflect negatively on the musical prowess of the band, of course, but it gives you an inkling of how well-versed an act actually is in digital marketing. And – it may well give you a pretty good idea of what to expect going forward, as often both go hand in hand.

The band resides – willingly or not – … [...] Click to raid more!

Dimmu Borgir truly is one of the veterans in the realm of Symphonic Black Metal and – for sure – Black Metal proper. As the lore goes, the band started operations in 1993, releasing records at a steady pace. Alas, the dispatch of records slowed to a trickle in the meantime, with the band taking some 8 years between major releases. Does this mean there’s an energy drop by the two faithful acolytes, Shagrath and Silenoz? Perhaps. But, remarkably, the two remaining founding members are still at it today.

Now, the third iteration is those records that get delayed. They come back knocking on all sorts of doors, get some attention, then return to the sump to patiently wait for their turn. And whilst some of those will finally find that terrible trapdoor, others will see the sickly … [...] Click to raid more!

Witch Piss - The Devil Doesn't Burn - Album Cover

Ah, the Satanik Panik is back amongst us yet again. Allegedly. At least judging by the flame-ridden album cover and the entry monologue on the first track. All of that comes from a band geniusly called Witch Piss, no less. A work of ‘art’ that’s so typically late ’70s, I want to go find a time machine and correct this ever-returning theme.

And then, their album moniker bluntly states that The Devil Doesn’t Burn. Doesn’t it, now? Mankind has yet to find out, methinks. But I digress. Let’s see if this message of fire, brimstone, and social depravity … [...] Click to raid more!
