Band: Nocturnal Exorcism Album: I Genre: Black Metal Hailing from Finland's cold, freezing landscapes, Nocturnal Exorcism emerged in April 2024. Their debut album, I, was recorded live in September 2024, capturing the raw and unfiltered intensity of their sound. Blending themes of death, depression, and the corruption of humanity, their lyrics are deeply intertwined with the occultism of first and second-wave black metal. With fierce riffs and chilling atmospheres, I takes listeners on a journey through the bleakest corners of existence. Tracks like “Die in the Name of” and “Nocturnal Exorcism” embody the band’s relentless spirit, while songs such as “Eternal Silence” and “Towards the Eclipsis” delve into the heart of darkness. Discover the chaos and frostbitten fury of Nocturnal Exorcism and experience black metal in its rawest form.

When this first came out I was not into it, but over time I’ve come to really like it. Bathory ‘Twilight of the Gods’

A fucking classic. Hail #Quorthon #bathory #blackmetal #swedish #firstwaveblackmetal

A nice surprise today. My first listen to Reaper from Sweden. Reaper have their first album out called “Unholy Nordic Noise”. As you might have guessed, they play old school but not second wave; Reaper play first-wave old school black/speed metal. Comparison to early Bathory is obvious but I compare them to other Swedish retro-black metal bands like Hellfire “Into Helfire” and Damnation “Destructo Evangelia” band/albums. So there’s 3 albums I recommend checking out if you haven’t already. #blackmetal #blaktrash #blackspeedmetal #speedmetal #hellfire #hellfireband #intohellfire #damnation #damnationband #damnationsweden # DestructoEvangelia #bathory #bathoryband #bathorygoat #bathorythereturn #bathoryunderthesignoftheblackmark #underthesignoftheblackmark #satanicmetal #ironboneheadproductions #ironbonehead #ironboneheadrecords #firstwaveblackmetal #oldschoolblackmetal #auranoir #auranoirband #swedishblackmetal #bewitched #armagedda #svartsyn #venom https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NIVhppVhB/?igshid=7xdxe58omqmq

"THE BEAUTY OF BLACK METAL IN THE EIGHTIES IS THAT IT WASN'T ONE SOUND."

"The beauty of black metal in the eighties is that it wasn't one sound. At all. MERCYFUL FATE was rather melodic, but with occult lyrics -- giving the band the certain extra that made them interesting for us more into the dark paths of life. I first heard "Evil" on a Metal Hammer sampler LP, and I instantly felt what I later would come to understand was the black metal feeling. The Danish group were rather well-played musicians, and, King Diamond's off-the-wall schizo theatrical voice set new creative standards. I especially recommend their second album "Don't Break the Oath" (1984)."

-- FENRIZ on MERCYFUL FATE's early "black metal feel," CD liner notes from "Fenriz Presents... The Best of Old-School Black Metal" (2004) on Peaceville Records

SLAYED NECROS -- IN MEMORIAM

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Eric Martin Ain (1967-2017), a.k.a., "Slayed Necros" on "deadly bassdose" duties, from his early performing/recording days with Swiss extreme metal band HELLHAMMER (soon to be renamed CELTIC FROST), c. 1984. 📸: ❓

MARTIN ERIC: "We created music to transcend our anger, the frustration, and the suffering, otherwise we could have become terrorists, after all. I mean, CELTIC FROST existed not least at a time when the Red Army Faction [the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group] was still active. And as a young individual, one indeed could have easily found connections within the radical left-wing camp, especially in Zurich, where the youth movement was very involved, politically.

At the time in question, adolescent individuals were seen as enemy number one in the city that was once home to the religious reformer Huldrych Zwingli. Any person who decided to grow their hair a bit longer would invariably be taken to the police station to be investigated."

"...PEOPLE LIKE IT, IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE, IT'S VERY ROUGH. I LIKE IT, IT WAS AWESOME. WE WERE DRUNK THE WHOLE TIME."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the genre-foreshadowing, Teutonic thrash classic, "Obsessed by Cruelty" (1986), the debut full-length album by first wave black metal/thrash metalnband SODOM, released under the Steamhammer label in 1986.

VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE: "I remember my father’s face when we were at a record store back in 1988 and I said I wanted him to buy me that album."

TOM ANGELRIPPER: "About this album, the cover was our idea, and there was a friend of Chris Witchhunter, Reinhard Wieczorek, who was an artist, and I saw an interview last year in which he said this album cover is his most famous artwork in the world. Because every SODOM fan in the world knows this cover. And I’m so proud that we did it. I know it’s chaotic, and at this time we also had some problems with the guitarist, Destructor, but it was an album and it was great. People like it, it’s very aggressive, it’s very rough. I like it, it was awesome. We were drunk the whole time when we were recording it, we had a party. We never took this business so serious, we’d say, wow, let’s have a good time, let’s go to the studio."
