  • 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 hereโ€™s to the kvltest bands that also didnโ€™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. […]

Album Review: Serpent Column – “Kathodos” 8.5/10 (Black Metal)

November 2, 2020

Upon first listen, I’m immediately reminded of the first time that I listened to some of the “catchier” tracks off of DeathSpell Omega’s Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice. There’s a lot of dissonance and discordance going on in this album and Theophonos – the sole member of Serpent Column – delivers it in full dose on this album. In fact, he goes perhaps even one step further by starting the opening track “Departure of Splinters” in what sounds like the middle of a song, like changing dials on a radio station and hearing the tail-end of a really cool Black Metal song. Then, in comes a funky head-bobbing rhythm with some off-kilter drums and a toe-tapping beat. […]

Album Review: Fawn Limbs – “Darwin Falls” 8.4 (Mathcore)

September 11, 2021

Interesting genre mashups are kind of my thing, so like, imagine my excitement jumping into a blackened mathcore album with dark ambient soundscapes, spoken word, and dark jazz??? Knowing that much, I was already invested in whatever this album had to throw at me, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the well of infinite darkness confined within the walls of this LP. If, after reading this review, if you decide to give this album a shot, you are in for a wild ride my friends. […]

Album Review: Valravne โ€“ โ€œSome Kind of Vampire – Remasteredโ€ 10/10 (RABM)

April 25, 2021

I was pleasantly surprised to see Valravneโ€™s name pop up in my inbox beside the title of a new album that is actually a remaster of an album I recently covered in my column (Join the Kvlt: Trve Qveer Black Metal). Before sitting down with it, I listened to the original version of Some Kind of Vampire again, just to make sure it was fresh in my mind before going on to review this new album. I feel it bears repeating how much I love Some Kind of Vampire. Itโ€™s dark, itโ€™s haunting, and it opens up with a monologue by famous anti-drag queen David Hoyle aka The Divine David. It also should be noted that this remaster features tracks from the second in the series, Some Kind of Vampire II, which, of course, follows the similar eerie and brutal sounds as its predecessor, though perhaps with even more ferocity.
