As an atmospheric Black Metal duo with a wide range of influences ranging from Crust to post-Metal, the Sweden-based Black Birch manage to keep both the classical and contemporary nuances of their sounds intact.

INTERVIEW: Iravu – on Black Metal, Brian Eno, and Overcoming Oppression
The Sound of Perseverance meets (No Pussyfooting) might not be a combination you expected on your musical bingo card for 2023, but Malaysia’s one-person anti-fascist Black Metal force Iravu is not one for limiting artistic statements when inspiration strikes.
