Etere

 The album from the Turin combo presents a mature band, capable of composing excellently structured tracks despite the considerable length.

 "Stelle Senza Luce" is certainly not a masterpiece, but it is definitely superior to much of what Black Metal offers today with all its copycat bands.

Movimento d'Avanguardia Ermetico's full-length album Stelle Senza Luce marks a significant step in maturity and musical identity for the Turin-based black metal band. The album balances powerful melodic elements with raw production and stands out for its sophisticated Italian lyrics. The reviewer highlights the opening and closing tracks as particularly memorable, praising the band’s originality in a genre dominated by copycats. Overall, it's highly recommended for fans seeking depth and quality in black metal. Explore the unique sound of Movimento d'Avanguardia Ermetico and immerse yourself in the powerful melodies and raw energy of Stelle Senza Luce.

 Why would a label like Lo-Fi Creatures waste time and money to release a trash album like 'Summi Verbi Lucifer'?

 Trash presented in a gift wrap remains trash. Horrible, useless, and detrimental from every point of view.

The review condemns Kurgaall's 'Summi Verbi Lucifer' as a trashy, outdated Raw Black Metal album devoid of creativity. Despite slight production improvements, it fails due to poor vocals and clichéd Satanic themes. The reviewer questions why reputable labels release such music, implying it saturates the market with low-quality content. Read the full critique and decide if Kurgaall's 'Summi Verbi Lucifer' is worth your ears or better skipped.

 Radikale Randgruppe significantly departs from the classic concept of Black Metal and goes on to explore much more extreme and niche territories.

 The sound of Radikale Randgruppe is undoubtedly difficult to assimilate and equally complex to digest, an album for the few, for enthusiasts.

Radikale Randgruppe marks the return of cult Norwegian band Disiplin with an album that abandons traditional black metal to explore harsh noise and experimental electronic sounds. Released on Italy's ATMF label after the closure of Moonfog, this fourth album stands out for its extreme, abrasive, and challenging nature. It is recommended only for fans of radical and uncompromising music and comes in an impressive Digibook format. However, it contains controversial imagery linked to extreme right references, which might disturb some listeners. Dive into Disiplin’s Radikale Randgruppe to experience an intense fusion of black metal and harsh noise—listen now if you dare!

 Despite being self-produced, this EP is better than many 'official' albums praised in industry magazines.

 The melodies are purely Mediterranean, warm, almost Hellenic, creating an identity close to ancient Italian culture compared to the usual Nordic sounds.

Malanoctem's EP 'Dall'Adriatico all'Aldilà' stands out as a self-produced Black Metal release with exceptional production and Mediterranean melodic influences. The band draws inspiration from their Abruzzo roots, creating epic yet warm compositions. The review highlights the band's maturity and readiness for a full-length album, praising both technical skill and artistic identity. This EP surpasses many label-backed releases in quality and presentation. Listen to Malanoctem’s unique Mediterranean Black Metal EP and experience a fresh, epic sound beyond the usual scene!

 Iter Ad Lucem is complete darkness concentrated in seven hymns, a funeral march that creeps into the brain.

 Urna succeeded where most Doom bands fail; they gave form to a purely annihilating sound without compromises.

Urna's 2009 album Iter Ad Lucem is hailed as one of the best doom metal records of the last decade. The album offers a dark, relentless experience with mature songwriting and crushing heaviness. Urna delivers uncompromising doom without unnecessary ambient detours. This record exemplifies mastery and focus in the genre, making it a must-listen for doom enthusiasts. Dive into Urna's Iter Ad Lucem and experience raw, unfiltered doom metal mastery today.

 Vltra is like a novel, it must be read from start to finish without skipping a line.

 This album is a masterpiece, spending more words would be superfluous.

Vltra by Spite Extreme Wing marks the pinnacle of their career with a richly crafted Black Metal album. Featuring vintage 70s equipment, visionary Italian lyrics inspired by Hellenic mythology, and daring musical experimentation, the album is a coherent and complex journey best enjoyed from start to finish. It incorporates diverse elements including Sardinian chants and unique covers, establishing itself as a masterpiece in the tricolor Black Metal scene. Explore the visionary world of Vltra—listen now to experience Spite Extreme Wing’s ultimate Black Metal journey.

 Orcrist is an Italian musical project created by Grav, a drummer with very limited technical and compositional skills.

 "We Come in War" is probably the best album in Orcrist's entire discography, with a concluding track that is undeniably beautiful.

Orcrist’s 2009 album We Come In War is a raw, stylistically pure black metal record made by a purist who rejects any evolution of the genre. The technical skill is limited, resulting in sloppy performances and amateurish drum parts. Despite this, the album features notable guest musicians and the final track, "The Silence," stands out as a rare positive moment. The album is recommended only for die-hard true black metal fans familiar with the genre’s underground aesthetics. Dive into the raw world of true black metal with Orcrist’s We Come In War—listen now if you crave pure underground metal intensity.

 Throne of Molok has created a devastating mix that is hard to get tired of!

 Their music is a perfect blend of a blasphemous Black Metal attitude and typically Death-like sonic violence.

Throne of Molok's 'Impulsive Assault' offers a brutal mix of Black and Death Metal that is relentless and hard to tire of. The band avoids flashy production and excessive speed, focusing instead on impactful riffs and a raw, uncompromising sound. This album is not for fans seeking elegance but for those who desire pure sonic devastation, blending old-school metal influence with a touch of radical electronics over fifteen intense tracks. Dive into Throne of Molok’s 'Impulsive Assault' and experience uncompromising Black/Death Metal fury now!

 The lack of punch in an album that tries in every way to vomit hate and anger on the listener is a significant shortcoming.

 Many of the lyrics are ridiculous, if not outright laughable, an unforgivable flaw for a group relying heavily on textual concept.

Frangar’s 'Bulloni Granate Bastoni' marks a bold shift from Black Metal to a punk crossover style but suffers from monotony, weak sound intensity, and questionable lyrics. While commercially successful, the album disappoints critically and is recommended mainly for die-hard fans or political extremists. Explore Frangar’s controversial album and decide if their punk shift is your next favorite or a missed opportunity.

 Cold Empire follows in the footsteps of Swedish Black Metal with a sound much closer to early Marduk.

 Despite the album favoring breakneck speeds, the band indulges in more reflective compositions with a purely Doom flavor.

Cold Empire’s From The Ashes Of The Empire is a solid Black Metal release inspired by the Swedish scene, especially early Marduk. The album mixes blast beats and aggressive vocals with moments of melody and doom influence. While not groundbreaking or highly personal, it offers a fluid listening experience. Production and a distinct style still need refinement for the band to reach their full potential. Discover Cold Empire’s blend of classic Swedish Black Metal and melodic doom—listen to From The Ashes Of The Empire today!
