Stilla’s “Till stilla falla” stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Scandinavian black metal, enriched by the seasoned craftsmanship of members from Bergraven and Armagedda. This album intricately blends the atmospheric grandeur of Isvind and Kvist with a distinct identity, captivating listeners with its otherworldly keyboards and stargazing bass lines. It resurrects the enigmatic charm of the genre’s golden age, inviting you into a realm where the northern magic still breathes.

With “Drengskapr,” Panphage sails further into the volatile seas charted by its predecessor, “Storm”. This conceptual journey through the life of the outlaw Grette Asmundsson is steeped in the primal essence of Swedish folk and fierce black metal. The album’s narrative, like the ocean waves that inspired it, ebbs and flows with a feral energy, inviting listeners to surrender to the wildness within, guided by the solitary, visionary craft of Panphage.

“A Thirst for Summer Rain” marks Lustre’s eighth full-length foray into the realm of ambient black metal, elevating Nachtzeit’s dreamlike minimalism to unprecedented depths. This album, the first to be professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered, offers a fresh perspective while retaining the warm, ethereal ambience and eerie darkness that defined Lustre. Expect a soundscape that surprises and captivates, a testament to the project’s enduring legacy and evolution.
