SCITALIS: Maledictum
Year: 2025Label: Vendetta Records The scitalis was, apparently, a mythical serpent of antiquity with so amazing markings on its back that it could stun whoever saw it. I presume the serpent would then proceed to make lunch of those such … Continue reading SCITALIS: Maledictum
ALLES: Now
Year: 2024Label: Zoharum And we’re back at it again. Another Zoharum release, another release entirely in Polish; in other words, yet another time we’ve not the faintest idea what the album we’re reviewing is all about. Argh, it’s Galaktyka Mięsa … Continue reading ALLES: Now
GALAKTYKA MIĘSA: Lejek Bólu
Release year: 2024Label: Zoharum/Ubocze Records Eh, talk about a tough album to review. Not only is it another piece of weirdness from our friends at Zoharum, it’s also another album entirely in Polish. And apparently something of a concept album … Continue reading GALAKTYKA MIĘSA: Lejek Bólu
BEATRIX: Deathsent Ceremony
Year: 2025Label: self-released And thusly, we segue from 2024 towards 2025 in reviews as well: Finnish Beatrix’s new EP Deathsent Ceremony was released on January 1st. Apparently the EP was a long time in the making due to various unfortunate … Continue reading BEATRIX: Deathsent Ceremony
A year in summation: 2024

THE CURE: Songs Of A Lost World
Year: 2024Label: Fiction/Polydor This album certainly was the major surprise of 2024, at least for yours truly. Not only was I entirely unaware that British legends The Cure were working on a new album, but also entirely unprepared for what … Continue reading THE CURE: Songs Of A Lost World
YRITYS: Apostate
Year: 2024Label: Misantropia Records Swedish depressive and suicidal black metal act Yritys are back at it with a second attempt. The debut album Delusion(s) (reviewed here) wasn’t quite my cup of tea despite having some elements I liked. Considering the … Continue reading YRITYS: Apostate
CHYMIST: Opus I: Nox
Year: 2024Label: Misantropia Records As most who know me will attest to, a great way to get my attention and interest is with anything related to Western esoteric traditions. As you too may have surmised from, for example, the book … Continue reading CHYMIST: Opus I: Nox
LONESOME WYATT AND THE HOLY SPOOKS: Afraid
Year: 2024Label: Tribulation Recording Company Another year, another Lonesome Wyatt album. Although this is already the second album this year, preceded by the man’s other project Those Poor Bastards’ rather lacklustre Back To The Primitive (reviewed here). As we’ve remarked … Continue reading LONESOME WYATT AND THE HOLY SPOOKS: Afraid
NOR_POL: +
Year: 2024Label: Zoharum This is one of those cases, where I’ll readily admit I am completely out of my depth. The label’s promo sheet throws around terms such as minimal, dub, post techno, industrial and experimental when describing this 20 … Continue reading NOR_POL: +
