With this Virtual-Boy-graphics banner, we greet the onset of autumn. Time is running short, so we’ll make this quick.
Albums: The only black metal releases that were interesting to me were the ones by Zythaex, Gjendød, Ulm, and Fauna. You’d have to ask Ryan why the rest are here. The DM soil proved far more fertile, with Demiurgon, Tetragrammacide, Cruentation, Last Retch, and Occulsed bearing the juiciest fruit. And if you’re up for some fun, check the ‘Minus Guitars’ version of Kaluman’s single-turned-EP.
