2022's fair and finest
A Bacchanalian Bouillabaisse of Arcturian obumbrations by way of Hekalothian desecrations…a must have and must listen.
Kaleidoscopic outré black metal from what has become one of my favorite projects of the last decade. Moments reminiscent of Varése, Nazxul’s Totem and Gnaw Their Tongues make for an enigmatic and engaging listen.
An experimental pop/goth/post rock-flavored black metal concept album about one man’s maniacal quest to dig a hole deep enough to strike oil. Of course this is on my list.
Over a decade since their last album and Negative Plane are back with another amazing album full of cryptically graceful proto-black metal inspired tunes. Perfect riffs (especially all those little trills), awesome atmosphere, infectious drumming…great, great stuff.
A lethally catchy burst o' raw psychedelic vampire synth from this ever prolific Italian project.
I’m just a sucker for hooky alt-rock with sweet laid-back Vox. The one two punch of speeding 72 and Medicine is enough to rocket me off to never, nerverland
CoO are nothing if not prolific and really nothing if not consistent, and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Still the finest purveyors of quirkily strident black-post-rock in the game, and thank god they have kept the moaning falling down the well style vocals…they are my favorite.
