Covenant of the Blackened Woodlands

by Ithilrå

supported by

The Mysterious Stranger I stumbled across this with a hankering for filthy dsbm a la Xasthur and this scratched the itch despite being so much more - A healthy dose of that bleakness woven into riffs reminiscent of the classic Finnish style, atmospheric synths and a well balanced production style. This is a monster of a debut, and clearly, fans of any of the above shouldn't sleep on Ithilrå. Favorite track: Covenant of the Blackened Woodlands.

Warangelic This project captures what raw black metal can be. Atmospheric in the right places without sounding too airy yet it has this distinct bite that Raw BM bands are known for without getting too noisy.

This is a promising start. Favorite track: Frigid Wanderess.

2005worldend A new and promising project; moreover, a great example of how raw black metal can be done without having the audio quality be at rock bottom. Definitely excited for future releases. Favorite track: Covenant of the Blackened Woodlands.

drvstr First release of 2024 that has gotten my ears truly excited. The production is spot on, giving enough of an old school vibe without trying to sound like it was recorded through concrete.A very promising EP and one to definitely watch.

conanphantasmagoria i'm glad i can actually hear those gnarly hate-filled riffs without having to sort through too much noise, this raw black project is fresh af and i'm keeping my eye on this. Favorite track: Hatred in Solitude.

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 51 fans who also own “Covenant of the Blackened Woodlands”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
