Prayers To Oblivion

by Sarcoptes

supported by

H.L. "Prayers to Oblivion" is a very intensive black death metal album, the angry screams remind me at hardcore or metalcore, three of the songs are extremely epic and the guitars are sharp and cutting like razor blades. But the sound is not noisy, there are also atmospheric elements and somehow SARCOPTES combine classic metal elements with a modern approach. (Mainly) Fast, heavy and powerful! Check "Massacre at My Lai"! Favorite track: Massacre At My Lai.

Blackbraid II

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
