Cemetery Lament

Despite Enepsigos' 2017 debut album, Plague of Plagues, having been enthusiastically welcomed by fans of traditional black metal, the band itself always felt that the album did not really go far enough in establishing what Enepsigos, and its music, was all about. But now, with Osmose Productions set to release Enepsigos' sophomore album, Wrath of Wraths, on March 27th inernationally, all that is about to change. Because, according to the band, Wrath of Wraths is "a manifestation of what Enepsigos really is, and will be. Dark, disgusting, twisted, ritualistic, and violent." And today Osmose have released a single from the album to give fans a taste of what to expect. The track "Cups Of Anger" With intro and interludes by Alexander Wolf and V.I.T.H.R, vocals, guitars, and bass for Wrath of Wraths were recorded at the Bergegarda Studios in Norway, while drums were recorded at the Beastcave Studios in Italy. Mixed and mastered by Tore Stjerna at the N...

On January 24th, 2020 internationally, The Sinister Flame is proud to present Aethyrick's highly anticipated second album, Gnosis, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Formed by Gall and Exile on the winter solstice 2016, Aethyrick's medium is black metal, methods uncomplicated and motives unknown. The Finnish duo proved their potency during the closing days of 2018 with their first full-length. Duly titled Praxis, indeed did it brim with a mysticism and magick that was simultaneously aeons-old and strikingly modern. A new classic in some circles but seemingly overlooked by the rest of the novelty-choked public, Praxis nevertheless laid firm a foundation upon which Aethyrick would most surely weave ever-more-grandiose spells.

All music genres are a little fucked up to begin with but black metal has got to have some of the stupidest "rules" governing what is legit and what is considered poser trash of any musical genre out there. From what I can understand the only way to be a "truly" credible black metal band is to stay broke and obscure so that you can stay true to your blackend  roots. You must remain an underground band FOREVER and if anyone actually ends up liking (or buying) your music you have officially sold the fuck out and now everyone will hate you. Personally I think this is fucking retarded ass bullshit and I'm going to explain why. While I'm at it there are a few other sacred cows we love to jerk each other off about in the black metal community that I'm gonna burn down like a fucking church in Norway. So hold on to your collective weenies because it's time to get over the fuckery and just enjoy the music for a change.  First things first... after 30+...

So I haven't posted much of anything in a long while. Not going to bore anyone with lame ass excuses I've just been busy with real life shit and haven't had much time to dedicate to the blog. I still keep tabs on the underground black/death metal scene when I can but for the most part I have been slacking off like a motherfucker because my work and home life have been pretty crazy for the last year or so. But enough about all that. Over the last few months I've been digging into old school black and death metal that is available on vinyl or cassette tape. Why you might ask? Well, mostly because I like to own the physical copy of music and also because I'm still convinced that analog sounds better than digital... I'm not going to go into the long boring bullshit arguments about how digital is just as good or how some clown with a billion dollars worth of audio equipment has tested and retested it and it's all the same. I like analog sound and fuck what scie...

Snooping around over on Soundcloud today and discovered Decoherence. Not a lot of info on them at the moment but they have several songs posted and they are all heavy as hell with a great wall of sound depth and complexity that I fucking love. Hope to hear more from this band/artist.
