Kvlt Kolvmn – March 2017

Well, third time's a charm, I guess—this here is the third consecutive installment of Kvlt Kolvmn Take Two, a monthly round-up of my favorite BM releases from the past 30-ish days. The only reason I'm surprised I could fill the column out this month is because of relatively little time I spent with black metal this month; there was just way too much incredible music coming out from virtually every other genre (seriously, if you haven't yet, take a read through this month's Editors' Picks).

When I originally launched Kvlt Kolvmn back in 2015, my intention was to create an HLT-style outlet for all of the noteworthy releases I find while digging around for underground black metal. But as you can tell by the singular installment linked above...that didn't end up happening. I never stopped my constant conquest for new BM, though, and I figured a new year would be a great opportunity to compile all of my findings in one place and jot down why I think they're absolutely worth our readership's time and attention. So here we are with Kvlt Kolvmn, Take Two - a monthly round-up of my top 10 favorite BM releases from the past 30 days. There's a fair amount of variety here in terms of where these bands/one-man projects are from and the music they're churning out, and my hope is you'll find at least one of these albums worth your time (and, potentially, support). And while this might be self-explanatory, please comment with any releases I've missed out on but are definitely worth a spin.
