Interview: Alex and Sakda of Fleshvessel

2023
July 26, 2023
Written by Kep I recently had the pleasure of picking the brains of Alexander Torres (guitar, drum programming, several other things) and Sakda Srikoetkhruen (fretless bass, guitar, phin), one half of uber-progressive experimental death metal outfit [...]

  • Join the Kvlt: Espi’s 2023 AOTY List

    January 8, 2024
    Written by Espi Kvlt As we wrap up another year, I am here to bring you another list of black metal albums I loved (plus, as usual, one extra, because for some reason my actual AOTY never ends up being a black metal album; oh well). I have once again managed to narrow it down to 15 through some difficulty, so here’s to the kvltest bands that also didn’t do anything horrible this year (knock on wood none of them do next year, either). 15 Weald & Woe – For the Good of the Realm After a three-year hiatus from The Fate of Kings and Men, [...]

  • Album Review: Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – “The Fractal Ouroboros” (RABM)

    December 21, 2023
    Written by Espi Kvlt Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – The Fractal Ouroboros> RABM> Colorado, US> Releasing December 21> Fiadh Productions / Vita Detestabilis Records Four years ago, Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze broke out onto the black metal scene with their phenomenal debut Offerings of Flesh and Gold, an album I adored so much I bought it on all physical formats (tape, CD, and vinyl). It was my album of the year in 2019, as well as one of my first real introductions to RABM. While many RABM bands struggle to let their music speak for itself, Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze did not have [...]

Australian Heavypedia: Interview with Shatter Brain (Death/Thrash)

May 6, 2020

Shatter Brain just put out their debut LP Pitchfork Justice after having a split and demo to their name since their formation in 2017. This new album marks a rise for the band in the underground Australian metal scene with an overall well rounded product. It certainly helps that they host a couple of their states largest metal festivals. […]

2020 Albums

Album Review: Aversions Crown – “Hell Will Come For Us All” 7.5/10 (Tech Deathcore)

July 21, 2020

Aversions Crown is one of the bigger modern bands of Australia, among titans like Psycroptic and Disentomb. Much the same as those bands, it’s usually a good few year wait between albums so Hell Will Come For Us All is a much welcomed release to fans of sci-fi death. At the very least, there are many improvements over their 2017 album Xenocide. Gotta love the Burke work though. […]

Album Review: Monolord – Rust 10 (Doom Metal)

May 28, 2019

This is a record that hit me so hard right off the bat in a way I have rarely experienced. Typically I’m listening in anticipation of an intro or a build up or even listening with a level of incredulity. Monolord broke right through that bullshit with Rust. It’s so immediately present with such thick riffs. They aren’t aggressive riffs as much as they are a menacing in their pure size. The widest tones around. […]

2019 Albums

Album Review: Ruff Majik – Tarn 9 (Stoner Doom)

May 22, 2019

South African garage doom? fuck yeah. Ruff Majik embody the stoner sound with such reverie and mastery. I’ve described it a million times now, we all know what stoner doom sounds like. Sometimes it’s slow and bassy, then sometimes it’s fast and bassy. Sometimes it’s average, and every now and then something awesome like this comes along. […]

2019 Albums

Album Review: Full Of Hell – Weeping Choir 8.8 (Grindcore)

June 11, 2019

I’m developing a fondness for this balls deep heavy kind of sound. Since hearing their previous release I’ve explored more of what the Grind tag has to offer, from the classics recommended to me by the community to the newer bands like Iron Eagle and Ampallang Infection. I’m definitely getting a feel for it now but still have a way to go. What I am finding is that across all the grind styles are some pretty wild decisions made about album composition and song presentation. It’s like extreme metal wasn’t cutting it so people have tried to condense it’s heaviness into the smallest frame possible. To be the loudest the fastest without ever compromising brutality… well, they do comprise a little on this record and it’s quite eloquent when it happens. […]

2020 Albums

Album Review: Postvorta – Porrima 9 (Post Metal)

December 26, 2019

Postvorta are a highly creative post metal band from Italy. I’ve been getting a lot of good promos from this region lately, typically in the wheelhouse of post and doom. Porrima on February 20th, 2020 via Sludgelord Records and I can safely recommend this to anyone with a love for long form metal with a patient sense of storytelling. Porrima unfolds over a series of developments that will keep you enraptured and ready for a second listen. […]
