Check out our preview of the new metal and rock releases coming out this week for New Music Friday 7-28-23!
ALBUM REVIEW: Tomb Of Finland – Across The Barren Fields
Without hampering the quality of the record, Tomb Of Finland pile layer upon layer and meticulously interspersed elements of doom, black metal and good ol’ death metal on the quartet’s third full-length, Across The Barren Fields (Uprising! Records). Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Inexorum – Equinox Vigil
Nailed it. On first listen of Equinox Vigil (Gilead Media), I suspected this to be the work of one man, two at most. Wrapped up my first listen and immediately checked online only to confirm that Inexorum is indeed a two-person operation and from the Midwest no less. Those drab icy winters would likely compel a musician or two to abandon polite society and embrace extreme metal whole hog.Continue reading
REVIEW: Gospelheim – Into Smithereens
Gospelheim, Blackened Gothic Rockers from Manchester kick things off with a statement of intent with their debut single – ‘Into Smithereens’. Their self-released debut album will follow later this year. Featuring alumni from variety of respected underground Manchester-based metal bands, the group appeals to tastes ranging from Paradise Lost to Unto Others, and beyond. Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Bewitcher – Cursed Be Thy Kingdom
Bewitcher has always stood out for having a more melodic slant than their Blackened Speed Metal peers and that distinction is at its most apparent on their third album. The band’s Venom meets Running Wild style leans much in the latter’s favor on Cursed Be Thy Kingdom (Century Media Records). The guitar rhythms are noticeably more accessible with more flamboyant leads above them and more dynamic song structures to match. Even the blatant Welcome To Hell worship on ‘Satanic Magick Attack’ has an almost Hard Rock flair to it.
BOOK REVIEW: Jeremy Saffer – Daughters of Darkness – Rare Bird Books
Daughters of Darkness is the result of a twelve-year labor of love from Jeremy Saffer, one of the most iconic concert and celebrity photographers of our time. His lifelong love of Metal and all its sub-genres, specifically Black Metal as well as his mastery of lighting, have transformed a powerful collection of fine art female nudes in corpse paint into a coffee table book work of art in his first-ever coffee table book, Daughters of Darkness (Rare Bird Books).
EXCLUSIVE STREAM: Dynfari – “Langar nætur”
Icelandic Metal collective Dynfari will release their new opus, Myrkurs er þörf, on September 18th via Code 666! Their fifth album furthers the narrative of their haunting mix of atmospheric Black Metal and post-Rock music. To match the kvlt inspired sonics, the iconic looking album artwork was crafted by Metaztasis (Watain, Behemoth). Their last album got high marks from our site, and this new release figures to be one of the top releases this fall. Pre-orders are live on Bandcamp now and you can stream their new single, “Langar nætur”, here at Ghost Cult!
