Very much agree. What would you say is your favorite release of late?

[@goblin_jim]

@@zombne Probably Miserere Luminis - Ordalie but honestly hard to choose with so many killer releases every month.

Lumen ad Mortem and Antrisch. But I can't keep up with it all so have probably missed a lot of good ones

[@rotshepherd3817]

@@zombne for me its anything by Gaerea

[@Redhairedviking09]

@@zombne The Last Path by Nostalghia is an absolute banger and Efflorescence is probably the best song I've listened to in years. I highly recommend checking out that album.

love this band, that music is so great. Found them because of this channel a couple of months ago. Just came back from their concert this weekend. 10/10music and performance. Got lucky to have a picture with their singer :D they're really underrated they deserved much more fame. I wish metal would become main stream

[@KeimpeJ]

I bought it instantly. This record fires up from within my soul.

[@judechizoba9216]

I never believed such a masterpiece from start to finish could be released in this time.

[@engobeats]

It’s amazing artwork done here 🎉

[@Endoxorios]

I truly agree my friend.The same thing i thought!

[@theknavishroadbyn.r.gravel9757]

Oh yea that’s good shit right there.

This is one of the best releases I've heard this year so far.

Right on 🤘

[@Sargath666]

Exactly.

Same here...due to an ilness i'm on sick leave now for almost half a year and even the amount of time that is available to me is hardly enough to listen to everything. I sometimes skip hours of sleep because i can't stop myself from finding new treasures

[@BrotherJuunas]

@@sarahpotter4008 kinda of a similiar situation for me. been home and depraving in depression for more than 3 years now. I on the other hand have had all the time in the world so have spent many hours on end listening to these great albums. Sometimes they're the only solitude I can find. Hope you'll get better soon.

​@@BrotherJuunassame here! Black Metal brings great solace in depressing and desperate times

[@helmutbiehl2454]

What an amazing Black Metal release! Hymnic, powerful, dark & gloomy, melodic & passionate. I hope this album to be released on CD and on vinyl too with a great cover Artwork.

[@FTtriofilms]

I listened to this album like 20 times at least. Just epic.

[@slovaktreasures]

[@justafish1910]

Literally listening to this all day in 24. I can’t explain just how excellent this feels to listen to. I have listened to multiple genres of metal but this combines everything I enjoy about them and the guitar work soothes my brain. This is one of the best metal albums in YEARS

Absolutely blown away by how simple yet majestic this album is. Truly a work of art; light, groovy, jazzy, yet with an incredibly dark, evil, cosmic sound.

[@mdd47]

I listened to about 30 seconds of the first track on Bandcamp and immediately hit the purchase button. This is a damned masterpiece. This is everything I ever wanted from a melodic black/death band

Damn.. This album is easily one of the best I've heard this year. I've always loved Sworn, for me, one of the best Melodic Black bands around. Their first album The Alleviation is an absolute masterpiece imo. The other 2 following albums are also excellent. What a great release, I'm putting this album on repeat during the next few weeks!

[@JK-pe2nx]

Holy shit, it’s like one long incredible song.

Best metal album I've heard in a while.

[@itstimetorise]

Can't understand a word, but the music paints a very vivid picture, creates a tangible atmosphere. Powerful stuff. Can't wait to get off work so I can listen and read the lyrics.

[@emperorfirestorm8553]

1. A Godless Domain {Lyrics by: Max Wilson} "Come! Inferno, come! Bring your dread sorrows and flames To drain what strength in me remains And I shall recall my journey told through fire" Displeasure, mouth of vermin A gaping flame of hatred Presomptous insolence Righteous ignorance Kings and queens fall Moonshine kingdom prevailed The arrow of nothingness Pierce their holiness The sky is painted black The venomous spear impale The mouth of inferno, exhale Light the fire Assеmble the keepers Thе soulless creations Gathered at the gates Burning the symbols Crying in vain Faithless inferno A godless domain Ascending between the seeds A newborn force to breed The crimson spark Of those who walked but walk no more They were the descendants of the burning euphoria The pandemic flame Their throne reclaimed Mare noctum Mare flammarum Mare infernum Ancient watchers told the tales Of an old forgotten memoria !!! "Set ablaze the naked flame, the eternal sign of might !!! Spread the fire throughout the world Paint my image in colors of red Illuminate the blackened sky Apex annihilation" !!!

[@emperorfirestorm8553]

2.Grand Eclipse A glowing sphere of dread on his path Swallows the night sky like a shroud Alone and astray he ventures off into the fray A silent breath of sacrifice Slows the course of perpetual time The arrival, the god of flame His reprisal, a reckless fate Fearless and brave on blackened soil He withstood the radiance Gazing towards an ashen shore He endured the burning night Loyal towards the ancient sun Prepared for the aftermath Secrets untold from creations of men Greatly deceived by a burning revenge Corruption ignited his world And drained the soul from its heart Now a halo of flames

[@emperorfirestorm8553]

3.Calamity Sea (Lyrics by: Max Wilson) The dimmest celestial light Lights his vessel in the night He lies there silent on the edge Moving within motion His world is this ocean He sees a crimson realm Through a rusted ash-stained porthole As all things fade away Lost down amongst the fiery dead The currents force him further He is cursed in the depths The realm of forgotten wrecks Through his eyes a sky aflame A dreamless horizon, an еntity Down below a voiceless ocеan The invocation remains unspoken....

It is fucking great, indeed! But there are a few other completely works of art out there it is hard to rank them..i highly recommend The Ruins Of Beverast's "Exuvia" to you and if you're also into PostBlackMetal, you should check "Noktvrn" of Der Weg einer Freiheit out. And the first three Ulver Records, and Weakling, Emperor and Darkthrone have to be mentioned too...etc etc The new Blackbraid Record is also a fucking masterpiece. Greetings from Germany!:)
