Blood Red Throne - Siltskin

 

Genre: Death
Country: Norway
Year: 2025



1. Scraping Out The Cartilage
2. Beneath The Means
3. Husk In The Grain
4. Necrolysis
5. Anodyne Rust
6. Vestigial Remnants
7. Vermicular Heritage
8. On These Bones
9. Marrow Of The Earth


12th album by Blood Red Throne. This is pure early 2000s death metal with a modern tonal palette. Solid songwriting grafts to explosive percussion and multi-dimensional riff passages, huge crunching guitar tone heats the riff phrases to rancorous levels, and the two different styles of vocal execution merge together to create an end sum that is total destruction.

Deathhammer - Crimson Dawn

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Norway
Year: 2025



1. Abyssic Thunder
2. Satan's Sword
3. Stygian Lust
4. Nocturnal Windz Of Fire
5. Crimson Dawn
6. Legacy Of Pain
7. Die Eternal
8. Into The Blackness Of Hell




6th album by Deathhammer. If nothing more, 'Crimson Dawn' continues to uphold Deathhammer’s reputation as one of the most consistent acts in metal today. They’re the same mad-shrieking, torch wielding crew as they ever were but this recordshows no signs of struggle in achieving the band’s simple on paper but difficult in practice vision, a timeless take on classic thrash/speed metal standards given to their own mayhemic defiance.

Helheim - HrabnaR / Ad Vesa

 

Genre: Black/Viking
Country: Norway
Year: 2025



1. Geist
2. Sorg Er Dødens Spade
3. Livsblot
4. Mennesket Er Dyret I Tale
5. Fylgja
6. Hamingja
7. Hugr
8. Hamr




12th album by Helheim. It is the first record where songwriting duties have been split between the band’s two main songwriters. In the first half, H’grimnir delivers four tracks soaked in raw, screeching black metal fury. V’gandr’s 'Ad Vesa' half emerges as a more experimental, concept-driven affair.

Beleriand - The Tempest

 

Genre: Black
Country: Norway
Year: 2025


1. Black Knight Of Autumn (Part II: Altar Of Darkness)
2. Madness
3. Tell Me...
4. Dust Claims Dust
5. Balrog - King Of Fire
6. Soulless
7. Sea Storm
8. The Tempest's Howl, It Soothes My Soul



5th album by Beleriand. Atmospheric black metal at its finest. Shrieks, post-metal moments, clean vocals, acoustic parts, folkish influences. A little bit cheesy, but always entertaining and trippy!

Cadaver - Hymns Of Misanthropy

 

Genre: Death
Country: Norway
Year: 2025


1. Maltreated Mind Makes Man Manic
2. Chained To His Fate
3. Nowhere To Hide
4. Sunset At Dawn
5. From The Past
6. Breaking Through
7. Misanthropic Anthem
8. Death Has To Wait
9. Through The Pain
10. Drowned In Dreams



7th album by Cadaver. Ten punishingly brutal tracks push the limits of death metal, with a hint of black metal, offering both nostalgia and a fresh assault on the senses. This is not a new album per se, but rather an unreleased album from 1991 or so, with some former band members joining to rework and complete it. It sounds more experimental, with sounds and melodies that you wouldn't normally expect in the genre.

Country: Norway
Year: 2025


1. The Things You Shouldn't Know
2. A Misrepresentation Of I
3. The Crimson Crown

5. Let Me Sing
6. Come Ye Sinners
7. The Wandering Deity
8. Disgust And Awe
9. A Magical Descent
10. Benevolent
11. Old And Alone


7th album by In The Woods. It’s a cohesive collection whose greatest strength is its songwriting. While each of these seven songs could be considered progressive in their own right, there is a simplicity to their structures that puts weight on emotion and melody over labyrinthine structures and overbearing noodling.

Sarke - Endo Feight

 

Genre: Black
Country: Norway
Year: 2024



1. Phantom Recluse
2. Death Construction
3. Lost
4. Abyssal Echoes
5. Old Town Sinner
6. I Destroyed The Cosmos
7. In Total Allegiance
8. Macabre Embrace



8th album by Sarke. This album is a crossover metal album, but it never loses its black coating. Here you'll be treated to almost tender melodies, as well as carried away by aggressive outbursts and encouraged to sway along to the groove. Then again carried by ambient sounds or confused by progressive parts.

Urdôl Ur - Seven Portals To The Arcane Realms

 

Genre: Atm.Black/Ambient
Country: Norway
Year: 2021

3. Pond Of Mana
4. Munloire
5. Emerald Crypts Beneath The Ancient Meadow
6. The Darkened Pass (In The Shadows Of Thozzt Dogor)
7. A Wizard's Lament




Debut album by Urdôl Ur. This is a Summoning worship, no doubt, from the vocals, arrangements, and the overall sound, but don't get me wrong though, Urdôl Ur are no mere copycats. Their unique touch and atmosphere are present throughout the album. Summoning enthusiasts grab it!!

Stygian Ruin - Stygia I: Slumrende i Hjertets Mørke

 

Genre: Black/Heavy
Country: Norway
Year: 2022



1. Ondskapens Port
2. Valp Fra Nord!
3. Blant Endeløse Riker
4. Evighetens Ansikt
5. Slumrende I Hjertets Mørke





3rd album by Stygian Ruin. The album is not easily fit into any single sub-genre, there's a combination of a few to my ears; lofty 70's rock, traditional metal, stoner/psych rock, and a dash of black metal. A musical interpretation of the stories of Robert E. Howard.

Overall, this album is a bold statement that pushes boundaries and reaffirms his artistic identity.

Doedsmaghird - Omniverse Consciousness

 

Genre: Black/Avant-Garde
Country: Norway
Year: 2024



1. Heart Of Hell
2. Sparker Inn En Åpen Dør
3. Then, To Darkness Return
4. Endless Distance
5. Endeavour
6. Death Of Time
7. Min Tid Er Omme
8. Adrift Into Collapse
9. Requiem Transiens



Debut album by Doedsmaghird, a side-project of Vicotnik (Dodheimsgard, etc.). In its raw essence, this album is black metal, but it’s far from orthodox. At its core, you get the shrieking, tortured vocals and the frostbitten riffs that are signature to the genre, but those elements quickly warp into something more monstrous, something grotesque.

You get the heaviness when needed, the blooming atmospheres to the climax, and stunning vocal performances throughout.
