Dødsferd – Diseased Remnants of a Dying World

Simon Handmaker
December 19, 2018
Reviews
Perhaps taking a three-year break was exactly what Greek underground black metal stalwarts Dødsferd needed to regain their mojo. After close to a decade of releasing at least one LP per year (which peaked with... Read More...

Dauþuz – Die Grubenmähre

Andrew Hatch
November 27, 2017
Reviews
Welding the wretched, misanthropic flayed-flesh rawness of depressive suicidal black metal with the ringing, hypnotic, and varied textures of atmospheric black metal, Dauþuz have succeeded in recording one of t... Read More...

    Joshua Bulleid
    June 14, 2021
    In many ways, Fortitude would have made for a more logical step between L’Enfant Sauvage and Magma. There are moments when it feels like the culmination of everything Gojira have done before, but just as many, if not more, where they feel like they’re rehashing ideas they’ve expressed more effectively in the past, or else are held back by what came immediately before; existing in the shadow of Magma’s template, rather than naturally pushing forward.
