HIEMS is a one-man, avant-garde black metal band launched in 1996 by Italian songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Alessandro "Algol" Comerio. "Stranger in a Wasteland" marks his third outing and is the sound of an artist confident in his craft. Recorded during lock-down, the music captures the dismal feelings of alienation and detachment, and translates them into malevolent, minimalistic and non-canonical black metal, infused with dark hard rock and ominous grooves. In comparison with "Worship or Die" - the second and last installment from 2009 - "Stranger in a Wasteland" boasts a much clearer and refined production, which added a commanding character to the vocals, exposed the weight of the guitars, and sharpened the overall listening experience. The topic of death - closely followed by a sense of not belonging - is equally present in the musical and lyrical layer of the album.
Furious and blasting black metal from Oslo, featuring vocalist of Ragnarok
SPEKTR takes delight in delivering an infinitely dark, at times psychotic aura, and transmuting the Black Metal reins into a loose form. Shrouded in a veil of vocalless, industrial and ambient-infected secrecy, the duo's music stands as a metaphore for a trip into the unconfortable uknown.
Limited to 234 handnumbered copies opaque white vinyl with a black haze and an exclusive white poster + a digital download code.

Reaper Subconscious Guide è un album strano, sicuramente originale e di conseguenza poco comprensibile, io stesso al primo ascolto sono rimasto inorridito. Furze non è nuovo a queste soluzioni ma stavolta ha deciso di esagerare portando la sua concezione del Black Metal al limite, incastonandolo in una dimensione temporale che scava molto nel passato, talmente tanto da conferirgli un'aurea che profuma di anni 70, l'epoca in cui i Black Sabbath diventavano immortali. Questo nuovo disco della band norvegese è un perfetto mix tra malvagità nera e atmosfere anni 70, ovviamente dal timbro doomish e in alcuni momenti anche psichedelici. Cinque lunghi brani in cui i deliri mentali sono la costante con cui dovrete fare i conti, ma l'apice viene toccato nella conclusiva Essential Wait dove in dodici minuti confluiscono tutte quelle che sono le influenze artistiche di Furze: Black Metal, Doom Metal, Hard Rock anni 70 (quello più oscuro) e pure un certo tocco Dark/Progressive Rock, anche questo proveniente direttamente dai seventies. Molte scelte potevano essere calibrate in maniera megliore, non è sempre facile mantenere la concentrazione, c'è il rischio di distrarsi a causa di una certa propensione a rendere il tutto poco fluido. Ciò non toglie che i Furze hanno deciso di dare uno scossone alla loro concezione di musica rendendola più originale e criptica, speriamo si sappia evolvere nel tempo.

Initially announced as a complementary ep to last year's album 'oltreLuna', q[T]p eventually found in their hands a giant work, almost worth calling it a new album.
Lys is the mastermind of Enisum, the well-known Italian atmospheric black metal band. After focusing on his main band for over a decade, the time came for the musician from Val di Susa to temporarily focus on something different. Here comes Silent Woods, Lys first solo album, a mélange of atmospheric black metal, acoustic music, nature, landscapes, mountains, rivers and forests.
Similar to yet different from his main musical endeavours, Silent Woods shows a varied sound palette, with the usual Enisum references (Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room and the Pacific Northwestern scene) and some twists. Acoustic guitars and clean vocals find their way in, and so do more extreme elements, such as gurgling screams and hypnotic, circular guitar riffs with clear depressive black metal references (Xasthur, Leviathan and the likes).
Come join Lys in his new venture through the woods of Northwestern Italy. Avantgarde Music will take you to the Alps on October 29th.
