Naglfar have an high quality of their recordings, this is the fifth album by those Swedes, and are here again be able to keep up to their high recording standards of the previous albums and if their music would still reek of hatred, evil and suffering.
Naglfar is one of those bands that can effortlessly mix raw energy of black metal that we know from their first al- bums with the elements of melodic death metal introduced in their later releases.
This mix makes their songs memorable to a point that you can recognize them from the first riffs.
Traditionally of course, intensity mixes with atmospheric slower parts, melodic touches intertwine with ultra fast brutality, and in all that, solos, parts of keyboards or piano are thrown into as if into a twister of sickening sound.
Musically, the whole band shows us solid compositional skills, supported by technical in- strumentality and respectable experience.
Christopher Olivius spits out wicked lyrics, he sang with such passion and malice, that vocals added an extra level of brutality, vocals are very strong and solid.
Harvest is an inspired, interesting and originally diverse piece of work.

Draconian Times" is Paradise Lost's most recognized and successful album and for good reason, they managed to take a genre of Metal that didn't much recognition until the mid-90's and take it to the next level.
Doom metal and more specifically goth metal itself didn't exist that much in the 80's....outside of say Candlemass and Celtic Frost just barely touching upon the basics of the genre, and they did so with style, but nobody had done it like Paradise Lost.
Paradise Lost sound is pure grimly doom/death metal. "Draconian Times" starts out with a somber-sounding piano, excellent way to start off an album.
"Hallowed Land" is one of favorite song: the lead guitar work of Gregor Mackintosh makes this an epic fist-banger.
"The Last Time" is probably their most blatant attempt at making light of the Goth sound with guitars for a huge hit.
After that depressing-induced song comes the way more upbeat and angrier "Once Solemn".
"Elusive Cure" is one song that should have been the leading single off this album: Gregor just lets his fingers hit those wailing, somber melodies.
This is one of the better cuts off the album. "Yearn For Change" continues the song and picks the mood up a notch.
So this album is their creative peak between their older material and the new style of the band.
Even though recently their last two albums have gone back to their original style of their older material, it's all just more of a nostalgia trip.
There's enough doom and gloom here to almost combat with the previous 2 albums and enough progression that surpasses the rest of their discography.
Unleashed Hymns is the second album from the Norwegian artist Fjøsnisse.
The one-man project was launched last year by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anders Vada.
This album it’s released on vinyl for the first time.
They are a good example of very well executed Norwegian black metal with thrash metal elements.
Great vocals, thrash metal style abrasive riffs and relentless drumming there is actually a fair bit of ambiance and melody on here.
All the tracks have a very balanced amount of both melodic and harsh elements with smooth transitions in the guitar passages.
Then there is the beautifully serie and frostbitten instrumental The Wanderer, the closing song to what has been a very enjoyable album.
Unleashed Hymns is a cult-classic album, in particularly for those who enjoyed the bands that emerged as part of the Norwegian black metal scene in the 1990s.
A few de- cades later Fjøsnisse is continuing with the legacy.

THE OMEGA SWARM,
an atmospheric death metal group from Germany, started in 2022, very humble, very secluded.
T., renowned from crafting four fabulous albums to date with Sulphur Aeon, did not have a fully fledged live act in mind when composing early demos and shaping the skeleton of his – at that time – nameless new creature. A true creator at heart, T. embraces the meticulous work on riffs, tones, sounds, the adventurous spirit of building and realizing ideas, experimenting with his much beloved set of guitars and synths to produce astonishing vibes and songs that are meaningful yet extreme, melodic yet harsh and mount in THE OMEGA SWARM’s debut album, a record, a testimony dedicated to the essence of art itself.
As down-to-earth T. is, he is not the type of person to stick with one sonic formula, he looks out for ‘something more’, ‘something different’. Having finalized what Sulphur Aeon wanted to express for the time being on 2023’s monumental “Seven Crowns and Seven Seals”, THE OMEGA SWARM are his main focus right now, and the band’s line-up completed by vocalist Christian Schettler (known from his work in label mates Wound) and drummer Max Scheefeldt (ex Misanthrope Monarch), gels perfectly.
Musically, THE OMEGA SWARM were spawned from T.’s experiments with rhythmic patterns, layers of synths, elaborate leads and slightly more technical riffing structures. Probably, the only obvious parallels to Sulphur Aeon are an emphasis on a dense, captivating atmosphere, epic elements, and an overarching darkness as well as realizing after completing their first recordings that also THE OMEGA SWARM bear the quality to be more than just a ‘bedroom project’.
OTHER WORLD is a crushing and contemporary Black Metal band based in California, where ex-members of BLACK SALVATION, PILLORIAN and BOREWORM explore the beauty in chaos and darkness.
After arriving on DMP in authoritative style with epic 2023 single "Of Death and Alteration", the band expand and consolidate their vision via new album "Tenebrous": an intensely emotive and hard-hitting representation of being locked away from the light with only anxiety, loss and grief for company.
OTHER WORLD underpins their cinematic and hypnotic Black Metal with the ripping propulsion of Death Metal and the monolithic solemnity of Doom. A product of seasoned and skilled musicians, "Tenebrous" finds weight by contrasting unsparing lyrical/vocal despondency, low-slung riffing and powerhouse drumming with the judicious use of calming neo-gothic choral sections, uplifting harmonised melodies and the cathartic sense of a fight-back from dark and murky depths.
