Elegies of the Stellar Wind
Polish one man black metal band that recalls the sound of early Emperor. Tasteful synthwork with raw and unapologetic black metal, utilizing an unpolished recording sound, but with little detriment to the quality of the music. This is GrimSpirit's 5th album for his project, and a favorite release from last year.
If you enjoy traditional black metal or symphonic black metal, this is a satisfying release within the genre.
Reminder this is coming soon!
Haunter/Crawl East Coast Tour 2018
Two of central Texas’ finest extreme metal outfits will be touring the East Coast in December.
Haunter are ritualistic black metal with hints of death metal, plowing through the soul and bellowing through the hells. The bassist is also a member of newer supergroup Entheogen.
Crawl is abyssal sludgy blackened noise of hate and despair, a sonic ritual in honor of the failings of mankind. He remains one of the best live acts I’ve witnessed, offering a transcendental auditory experience for lovers of all things extreme.
Absolutely a tour worth seeing if its coming to a city near you. More information will be made available as the time draws closer.

Hierurgy
Avant-garde ritual black metal from Chicago, Illinois. This is their debut album, released just this year through I, Voidhanger records.
The avant-garde elements remind me a tad of Therion, but this is definitely still wrapped up in the black metal spirit. A ritual for the soul, this is not raw or aggressive, but rather spiritual and contemplative, with underlying grandeur and majesty.
