Forsmán - Dönsum Í Logans Ljóma

 

It is not often that I wish an album was longer. But at less than 30 minutes,this blast of hateful Icelandic kvlt metal is WAY too short.

This is potentially the best Icelandic metal album this year.

Taking their vocal cues from both Svartidauði and Misþyrming, this is another example of powerful Icelandic singers pummeling the instruments under their almost chanted lyrics.

I am definitely looking forward to more from these folks, and I hope a full length is on the way soon.

Location: Kópavogur, Iceland

2022 Year In Review

 Yeah, I have been MIA for 18 months. So what? You don't pay for this blog, I do. And I've been really busy starting my permaculture farm / goat cult in the abandoned mountains of northern Spain. Now that things are appropriately sustainable and grim, I am back to vomit my opinions on music all over the internet some more. Let's dive back into things with a wrap up of 2022. Here are my favorite-ish albums of the year, along with why they are superlative.

Would you like to peel back the facade of "faith, family, farm" to gaze at the raw and bloody dis...

Agriculture - Agriculture

  a   While calling themselves ''ecstatic" black metal, Agriculture traipses along the line between atmo-black and blackgaze pretty adroitly. I am not as head over heels as some of the metal press I have been reading about them (like Rolling Stone for instance), but I think they have a good thing going here. They remind me of Vattnet Viskar sort of, and I am going to withhold judgement until I can see them live to really decide.  That said, this is an album that has been in heavy rotation at my house since its release.

Portal - Avow / Hagbulbia

  P O R T A L R E L E A S E D T W O R E C O R D S T O D A Y That's how my day began. Several versions of that message. And friends, the hype is real. Unhinged ambient black metal sludge gloomcloud is back on the menu boys. Avow by itself is a massive adventure into murky disquiet, but played (As intended) sync'd up with companion piece Hagbulbia, it becomes infintely more sinister. Press play below and enjoy the madness Avow by PORTAL Hagbulbia by PORTAL
