Best artist Black Metal of the moment secondo DeBaser.

❝ The plain and simple fact is that “Celestite” is a beautiful album.

❝ “Celestial Lineage” is an excellent album that deserves to be listened to and appreciated over and over again.

❝ The Wolves come out with yet another masterpiece that will garner as many positive opinions as possible due to the charm and warmth it manages to emanate track after track, riff after riff, atmosphere after atmosphere.

❝ There is no need to make it a mystery: the French Deathspell Omega have become one of the most important black metal realities of recent years.

❝ This is one of the best episodes ever in black metal;

❝ The album aims at nothing and precisely for this reason, it achieves two distinct results: total incomprehension (ergo: disgust) or a slimy, disarming sensation of conscious introspective anguish.

❝ "Let your tears flow one last time and reach the world you come from"

❝ an album so kitsch, tearful, plasticky, redundant, self-indulgent, boring, dull and indigestible (in one word, false) simply makes me cry with bitterness.

❝ A sunny but dark record, a happy but sad record.

❝ "Nettare, Chapter One: 12 Moons, A Handful of Dreams" is the penultimate album by the German band Nocte Obducta, navigating coordinates unknown to extreme metal; a sonic journey that is inseparable from the visual experience created in the listener's mind, painting a path that is above all personal, intimate, constructed during the passing minutes.

❝ An extraordinary personality, impeccable production, and impressive technique save the group from mere self-celebration, making this record a masterpiece not only of black metal, not only of metal, but of all music.

❝ "Maiestrit" does not aim to shine for experimentalism or avant-garde, but for the passion and inventiveness with which each song is genuinely imbued, and in this, it sounds 100% Negura Bunget.

❝ Negura Bunget have managed to gift us a masterpiece light years away from everything that surrounds them and that knows how to move and keep us engaged throughout its long duration (about 67 minutes), difficult to comprehend but, once understood and internalized, it provides the right coordinates for a new way of understanding the extreme.

❝ Drudkh have been reborn.

❝ Enter "Handful Of Stars" (2010), the "alea iacta est" of the situation.

❝ but believe me, they are one of the most interesting and genuine projects in recent years.

❝ A mixture of black metal and patriotic medieval folk for mentally disturbed, made up of simple and banal melodies, at times danceable, and a mix with clotted black metal.

❝ Screaming, electronic inserts, strange melodies, grotesque atmospheres—all elements and sensations well recognizable in this eclectic release.

❝ “Since the debut of Peste Noire, I have always defended the vision of Black Metal that must incarnate in the real world, mixing art and violence like the troubadours mixed the use of weapons with the practice of poetry.”

❝ Indeed. The Altar of Plagues of “White Tomb” were pure poetry.

❝ No longer four long tracks (a scheme adopted in both previous works), but nine disjointed and alienating shards for about forty-eight minutes of distorted and at times sensational post-black metal.

❝ Mammal is this, it’s a train projected towards the end, laden with despair and tragic malaise, but a light, after that last final percussion, seems to appear...

❝ The result is, in every sense, a splendor.

❝ "Agape" is Herbst's most intimate and personal album, and you can feel it:

❝ This album does not have a single moment of decline throughout its duration

❝ A dark force, an emotional instability that can be translated with a simple word: elegance.

❝ “Opportunistic Thieves of Spring” is an incredibly elegant and mysterious album, capable of creating hypnotic and enchanting atmospheres…

❝ Expect the unexpected from “A Shadowplay for Yesterdays”, expect the unclassifiable and the unlabelable, be ready to love or hate it…

❝ First of all, this Melodic/Folk/Mortadella Black Metal album has a notable characteristic. It is entirely sung in Italian.

❝ The Norman Blut aus Nord has always been one of the most elusive and cryptic entities in the European black metal scene.

❝ in my opinion, without a doubt, the greatest, brightest, most triumphant composition of black metal ever created. Clarissima Mundi Lumina.

❝ Nietzsche in music, ladies and gentlemen. Beyond this, I don't know what else to do.

❝ The notes of the storm! ...The breath of an icy wind that carries with it pagan echoes, gripping every one of your senses in an almost supernatural rumble.

❝ a banjo? A banjo in a Norwegian black metal record????? listen to believe: track 5, minute 3:21

❝ If we could associate a sound with a sensation, listening to Taake we would most certainly feel a warm chill of cold.

❝ Shocking.

❝ At this point, it might be superfluous to say that it is an album TO HAVE by a more unique than rare group.

❝ Rest assured that after the 35 minutes of "Eschaton" life will start smiling at you again.

❝ "I'm dying." - "Is it blissful?" "It's like a dream." "I want to dream."

❝ Deafheaven know how to be devastating and desperately invigorating, that is their greatest ability.

❝ Extreme album, but with class.

❝ Fury, a sense of detached rational control and a pronounced and disenchanted creativity (almost on the verge of madness) hover like morning mist over English meadows.

❝ “Love us or hate us but don't try to imitate us since we really don't belong to this planet”

❝ The result? Instant likeability.
