A scrawly drawn logo and a cover that is held in black/white, showing a misty forest, should be enough evidence to know what kind of music Nemesis Sopor should be playing. For everyone, who isn’t experienced enough to find the solution, here is a quick “hint”: They are playing (german) black metal. To withstand in …

The cover is held quite simple and it seems bland, but it contains various information. Besides the name of the band there is a huge hint what music they are playing. The first thing spoiling should be the 30 minutes playing time of the EP which has some huge resemblances to Agalloch without sounding plagiarized. They …

Garden Of Grief is one of those bands, although it only consists of one member. It was founded in 2008 and the discography consists of four records and three splits. Can the records …

That bands, especially those of the black/ambient metal genre, name themselves after places/figures from fantasy worlds is nothing new. Moradin is another band, that follows this “nerdy” path, as they named themselves after the dwarven god of Dungeons and Dragons. The name of the record might remind you of Agalloch and seems to be more than pure …

Depressive/suicidal black metal often is a genre, that evokes two hardened fronts. One side stands for all the people that are catched by the atmosphere of the emotional songs and the other one stands for all the people, that do not like the long-drawn passages, that often are badly produced as well.
