#Adaestuo - Krew Za Krew ("blood for blood" in polish)

Exceptional ambient #blackmetal with the best #female bm vocals I've encountered yet. It's an #international band with members from #poland, #finland and #USA.

Half of the album consists of pure #ambient tracks in the vein of ritualistic invocations. The whole record manages to convey a feeling of sinister transcendence.

Atmopsheric depressive #blackmetal from #Hungary with some experimental takes on guitar sound. They sometimes make it sound like an eastern instrument.

Anyone buying music/merch from #metalblade records better think twice. They're officially supporting and releasing the album of Bartłomiej Krysiuk's version of #Batushka, despite a polish court order prohibiting him from releasing anything under that name or giving live performances until the respective trial is over. While he plans to countersue the order, he doesn't seem to have anything (reasonable) backing up his case. Therefore this whole ordeal amounts to theft of intellectual property.

This band is truly well above mediocrity. Nothing less should be expected when the members are associated with the likes of #Nightbringer and #Sargeist. The vocals are not only fitting the music perfectly, they are also performed by the best female bm vocalist I have encountered yet. This record is mandatory for anyone that likes both ambient and black metal.

#Moondweller - The Search

Heavily #Darkspace inspired atmospheric #blackmetal project from #Russia. The name can be taken literally, at least to me this sounds like a version of Darkspace, that stopped at the moon and would still capture some earth-like audio. Actual lyrics are also included.

Such a perfect progression from the first album. This is exactly how a follow up record should sound like: Keeping true to the established sound while exploring different facets of it and delivering the same (in this case even better) level of quality.

I personally prefer the vocals compared to litourgiya as well. Much better performance and variety overall.

Something completely non-metal this time. They are a #electro band from #Canada with mostly melancholic and partly experimental material. Long time favorite of mine.
