you know when you go through old stuff you had put aside in your spotify a while ago meaning to really listen to it more in depth but it just kinda sits there? whether its an artist you followed or a song you added to your likes or what have you? same. well it's my day off and I went sifting through some of that shit, specifically black metal albums I've been meaning to listen to but just haven't gotten around to it. picked out some tracks for you guys that especially got my attention, link below!

all together my impression gathered from my findings is thus;

Winterfylleth album launch!

A couple of weeks ago I found out that Winterfylleth, a band I love, were doing an album launch party at a record shop about 20 miles from where I live. This shop is one of only a few in the UK that specialises in heavy metal, skewed towards the more extreme end of things. They also sell books, candles, and weird art. They're called Dark Earth Records and I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the Northwest of the UK who enjoys this kind of music.

I've never been to an event like this before, but it was really cool - three members of the band were there and I managed to chat with all of them and not say anything too dumb, and not only did I get their new album signed, but also the shop was selling their previous release on vinyl so I got that and got it signed too!

Yes, one guy did intentionally sign over his own face 😆

The reason why I only got the CD of the new one is because I already had the vinyl on pre order before I even found out about this event, and it hadn't been delivered yet so I couldn't take it with me.

Here's me standing in the shop with weird mutant baby artwork behind me.

And my friend who went with me. She's not very familiar with the band, though their music was being played in the shop and she said she really likes it and will now definitely look them up. I bought her an early Behemoth record as its her birthday soon.

The three guys standing behind her are the band members!

Ten years ago I didn't share my ex's obsession with Summoning but, listening to them again, I think I'm starting to understand

I love winter atmospheric black metal. For example

Melancholie by ColdWorld

Kristall & Isa by Paysage D'hiver

Schnee by Paysage D'hiver

Der Letze Winter by Vinterriket

Isenheimen by EvilFeast (EP)

(Not atmospheric black metal but Panzerfaust by Darkthrone is one hella of a good album for that winter vibe)

if you haven't listened to Woe Bather and you like BM I highly recommend you check out his stuff. This is his latest studio release, top notch depressive raw black metal if you ask me. always good to see there's still great quality solo musicians out there keeping the scene alive.
