Einderlicht by Marche Funebre We have been writing material together for over a decade, so we have our habits. All the songs are written together. Generally, someone comes up with a couple of riffs, and we look into them together. It’s great to bounce ideas off each like that. Most of the time, it goes…

By Ken Miller Seismic is an instrumental doom metal trio from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Arriving with monolithic force on their maiden recording last fall, Seismic channels the ominous and existential horrors of our time and forges them into a lumbering, dynamic landscape of slow-motion sludge and doom metal without vocals or lyrics guiding the way. Immersive,…

Fable by Eric Gynan I typically write the songs. Alyssa co-wrote the title track fable as well as the title track dream with me. I always say that I simply listen to what the Universe has to say by making that connection. Then I get down some scratch tracks, and the rest of the band…

Tome II by Grave Circles Grave Circles is a Central Ukrainian project that plays a style of music that can be classified as black metal but is atypical to other bands from our country. Most of the time, nothing is done and the process only starts when a sort of frequency opens up. It is…

Altered State by Amos Williams We all come from entirely different backgrounds, which I think is essential to a diverse output. James and I went to school together in central London, and I’ll be honest, I can’t remember when we first started performing in bands together. I know that he was the rock guitarist, and…

Tyrant by Bliss of Flesh Our new album ‘Tyrant’ was out on 30th October 2020 on Listenable Records. I’m very proud of it, and I hope that our art will be understood. I have no doubt. Honestly, each release was very different for writing, and I loved this mindset that I had when I wrote…

Rites of the Nameless by Galen Baudhuin Infera Bruo has always been about inner reflection and catharsis. Like it or not, humans have negative and violent emotions. For me, creating and listening to extreme music has a healing effect. It allows a positive outlet for all of the hate and bile that inevitably accumulates. Our…

Satanic Upheaval by Dave Buchan Burial is a no-nonsense black metal trio from the bleak industrial landscapes of Manchester, UK, dedicating our sound to the ice-cold, goat worshipping origins of the genre.

Effigy of Nightmares by Carter Hicks The name Valdrin comes from the protagonist of our lyrical mythos: Valdrin Ausadjur. I don’t remember exactly when I came up with that name, but I’m guessing it was around 2010 when I finished composing the music for what would become our debut album, Beyond The Forest. During that…
