Byelobog reissue 2010

Trhä truly stands in a league of its own. The sheer volume of material, combined with its distinctive, otherworldly approach to raw black metal, makes it feel like an inexhaustible well of inspiration. Even among the genre’s most prolific anonymous acts, few manage to be this consistently innovative.

This latest album is an excellent example of Trhä’s ability to push boundaries—blazing fast, drenched in atmosphere, yet never falling into predictability. That comparison to Liturgy on track 6 is fascinating, especially since Trhä usually leans more into dreamlike, folkish textures rather than the kind of rhythmic

deconstruction Liturgy does. And that synth closer? Just breathtaking. It’s rare for a project this prolific also to feel like it’s evolving constantly.

Finnish Black Metal. Reissue of the great first demo with Azazel, Nattfog, Vornat members.

 

Hailing from the black metal hotbed of Finland, Curse Upon a Prayer was founded in Tornio in 2010 and have since released two albums - From The Lands of Demise in 2014, and Rotten Tongues in 2015. The band has gained some recognition for their strong, anti-Islamic themes, which are fiercely manifested in their live shows. During those well-received events, there has been multiple Quran desecrations, and the ruthless flame of Curse Upon a Prayer continues to grow without any hesitation.

Now, the Finnish infidels of Curse Upon a Prayer have decided to take another step towards the gaping abyss and thus present a new EP, thematically titled The Three Woes. Their third studio recording so far and a follow-up to the righteous Rotten Tongues, The Three Woes is another grand strike for Curse Upon a Prayer, albeit a quick-hitting one. No less satisfying despite its compact nature, this EP is merely a glimpse of the truly flagrant blasphemy that is yet come: a peaceful prelude for the next, Allah-raping Curse Upon a Prayer full-length set to be released in 2019.
