Imperial Triumphant

Vile Luxury

New York jazzy progressive blackened death. These fellows are insanely talented, and bring a variety of musical elements together into a terrifyingly beautiful experience. Their latest album, Vile Luxury, is a streamlined, precise mixture of all their influences, and it is a powerful creation to behold.

They are currently wrapping up the Blood Sand Ash tour with UADA and Panzerfaust, and you really should not miss it.

Evilfeast

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.

Blitzgeist

Ritual Magic

Portland Oregon based black metal, from Zane, the man behind the stellar Elegiac black metal project. Whereas Elegiac has a rawer, more traditionally agressive tone to it, Blitzgeist is a bit slower with the tempo. A grimier, almost more melodic sound pervades this project, and the vocal work reminds me of Inquisition. As the apt title suggests, there is a ritualistic aspect to the compositions and style.

Pick it up from the musician's personal label, Sacrificial Sounds.

Black Vice

Austin, Texas traditional/ritual black metal.
