Written by Kep I recently had the pleasure of picking the brains of Alexander Torres (guitar, drum programming, several other things) and Sakda Srikoetkhruenย (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 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: Sallow Moth – “Stasis Cocoon” 8.8 (Death Metal)

August 30, 2021

With major thematic influences cited as Hellraiser and Magic The Gathering, I knew I was in for a ride going into this album, and I was, but it wasn’t quite the ride I was expecting. With a list of influences like that, paired with the album cover and a deep conceptual core, I was expecting a new age slice of hyper-technical wankery, which is something I dig so I was on board. Now, imagine my surprise when I throw this thing on to find thick, concrete motherfucking caveman riffs! That, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg too […]

Album Review: Ewigkeit – “23” 7/10 (Stoner/Prog)

September 23, 2020

A lot of fun right here, well, itโ€™s short due to being an EP but whatโ€™s there is a very fun stoner love letter to the 70s. The thing that really ties it together for me, is the fact that itโ€™s themed around my favorite books of all time, the Illuminatis! Trilogy. Iโ€™m used to a lot of whacky themes that are far more common than people realise (particularly in stoner), but Iโ€™ve yet to see any Discordian representation as of yet. If youโ€™re in the know, then youโ€™ll have fun cherry picking this release for references, artwork included, which draws upon Discordianismโ€™s love of gratuitous symbolism. Be prepared for the most Iโ€™ve used air quotes in an article. […]

Album Review: The Hyena Kill – “A Disconnect” 8.5/10 (Alt Rock)

March 18, 2021

Itโ€™s hard to know where to start with A Disconnect by The Hyena Kill. Probably one of the best words to sum it up is โ€˜catharticโ€™, but that doesnโ€™t really shed much light on what it actually sounds like. The Manchester-based four-pieceโ€™s second full-length is difficult to pigeonhole for sure, but chances are if you enjoyed relatively recent offerings from the UK underground like Phoxjawโ€™s Royal Swan or Black Peaksโ€™ All That Divides, you should get on pretty well with this. Itโ€™s also difficult not to hear a heavy dose of the alternative metal of the likes of Tool and Deftones (neither a huge surprise given the band was drawn together by a shared love of both those artists, among others).

Album Review: Devil Sold His Soul – “Loss” 8.5/10 (Post Metal)

April 21, 2021

Music has long provided a powerful outlet for feelings of loss and grief. Of course, that makes a lot of sense; it’s something all of us go through, including the artists we love, so it’s only natural that many would want to express those experiences through their music. The list of great works inspired by these themes is long and spans pretty much every genre, with several prime examples from the last few years alone. These include the consecutive masterpieces of Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Touchรฉ Amorรฉ’s devastating Stage Four, and We Lost The Seaโ€™s critically-acclaimed Departure Songs.
