I remember the first time I heard of The Great Old Ones quite well, as I saw the teaser for their debut record in the empyre-forum.de. I had mixed feelings, as the offered soundbits weren’t of the best quality and the passages you heard weren’t really exciting as well, while the theme of the band and …

Reading the name of Stroszek, many will think (well, if there are any thoughts) of the movie by the German regisseur Werner Herzog. This clearly has nothing to do with the movie, since this is a blog about metal records. We want to deal with the Italian Stroszek (and not with this Post-Punk band from Scottland) …

How often did I spoke about the release-policy and the somewhat infinite creativity of some musicians/bands? The flood of releases is pending between extremas as Vinterriket (including side-projects) or really small ones like Ov Hollowness. Sometimes the boarders between side-projects and the main band are disappearing and exactly this happened here…

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 …

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 …
