  • Join the Kvlt: Espi’s 2023 AOTY List

    January 8, 2024
    Written by Espi Kvlt As we wrap up another year, I am here to bring you another list of black metal albums I loved (plus, as usual, one extra, because for some reason my actual AOTY never ends up being a black metal album; oh well). I have once again managed to narrow it down to 15 through some difficulty, so hereโ€™s to the kvltest bands that also didnโ€™t do anything horrible this year (knock on wood none of them do next year, either). 15 Weald & Woe – For the Good of the Realm After a three-year hiatus from The Fate of Kings and Men, [...]

  • Album Review: Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – “The Fractal Ouroboros” (RABM)

    December 21, 2023
    Written by Espi Kvlt Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – The Fractal Ouroboros> RABM> Colorado, US> Releasing December 21> Fiadh Productions / Vita Detestabilis Records Four years ago, Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze broke out onto the black metal scene with their phenomenal debut Offerings of Flesh and Gold, an album I adored so much I bought it on all physical formats (tape, CD, and vinyl). It was my album of the year in 2019, as well as one of my first real introductions to RABM. While many RABM bands struggle to let their music speak for itself, Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze did not have [...]

Australian Heavypedia: Interview with Shatter Brain (Death/Thrash)

May 6, 2020

Shatter Brain just put out their debut LP Pitchfork Justice after having a split and demo to their name since their formation in 2017. This new album marks a rise for the band in the underground Australian metal scene with an overall well rounded product. It certainly helps that they host a couple of their states largest metal festivals. […]

Album Review: The 4 Way Split – 9 (Stoner Doom)

May 25, 2019

I promise I won’t confuse Dopelord, Dopesmoker and Dopethrone since I’ve been listening to a bit of all lately. This is one of the most impressive collaborative albums I’ve heard in modern doom history. It’s a Polish supergroup in a sense. Doom might have started in the UK but these guys are all proving that it could finish in Poland. I’ve been pretty vocal about my love of Spaceslug for over a year now so I am pretty excited about this new track from them and getting to know the other bands a bit better. It’s a really great showcase for the current state of doom which is more alive than ever. […]

Album Review: Skullcrush – Archaic Towers Of Annihilation 7 (Death Metal)

January 7, 2020

There are few things in my maladroit passage through life as recognizable, or dare I say addictive, as that sweet swedeath guitar tone. Muffled and thick, the pure encapsulation and distillation of sonic headbangable heft. 2019 certainly offered an abundance of riffs that fit said bill–however, itโ€™s a sound that, when executed with a modicum of technical prowess, seldom gets old. When Skullcrush came out of the December gate a tad unnoticed with Archaic Towers Of Annihilation, a worthy album unfortunately birthed in the months o’ lists, they certainly delivered in the prowess department. In short? Throw on your gym outfit of choice and lace up them sneakers (or joggers, as may apply.) It’s time to get sweaty. […]

Album Review: Dead Exaltation – “Despondent” 8.5/10 (Death Metal)

January 17, 2021

A death metal album with an unexpected amount of melody, it doesnโ€™t even present as melodeath, itโ€™s far closer to straight slapping brutal death metal that occasionally shifts the tempo down into a straight up clean guitar serenade as if I somehow accidentally listened outside the album or the musicians forgot the set list. It should be a harsh comparison to then start up the death machine again but it just works so well, perhaps due to the tight guitar tones. […]
