Sombres Forêts - Royaume De Glace (2008)

It's not exactly an unknown album but its quality is undeniable. This is definitely one of my favorite black metal releases from Canada.

Forgotten Spell - Desecrated, Decayed And Still Holy (2010)

Genre: Black Metal
Country: Germany

A complex, lengthy and brilliant black metal release from German act Forgotten Spell. Meticulous and pure in its composition and unrelenting in its delivery, however muffled and buried it all may be under the production.

Country: Germany

And here we have your weekly dose of NSBM, because you just have to have sieg heil along with your krieg. Great vocals on this one.

Necropsy

Genre: Death Metal
Country: Finland






Look, more Finnish death metal! Two demos (the latter of which has no cover art, or at least it's not plastered all over the internet yet) and one EP from a solid band that had several releases from 1989-1993, and are presumably still active but haven't released anything in 18 years. Too bad.

Krypts - Open The Crypt (2009)

Genre: Death Metal
Country: Finland

A truly impressive demo from yet another Finnish dm band. It's as if the Finns are working overtime to shell out release after release of gold, death metal and otherwise. This is no exception, some impressive riffing and drumming here.

Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All (2011)

Genre: Death Metal
Country: New Zealand

Firefox thinks I spelled Zealand wrong but I didn't. Fuck you.

Sermon Of Foulness - The Jericho Drifter (2009)

Genre: Black Metal
Country: United States

It's an album with edges like glass that goes down as smooth as silk. D-Beat black metal that's chaotic, filthy and undoubtedly awesome.
