The necessary weekly dose of Black metal.
NACHTMYSTIUM - Assassins : Black Meddle, Part 1 - 2008
www.myspace.com/nachtmystium
Download
Formed in 2000 in the USA
Their debuts were categorized in the Raw Black Metal genre.
But they started introducing some Psychedelic touches into it.
This one can be filed under Psychedelic Black Metal.
Much recommended!
"The guitars buzz as much as they reach for psychedelic heights. The foundation is forged in black metal, but Assassins is more about breaking molds than casting them. Assassins contains big, almost stadium-sized anthems, monumental drinking songs, gorgeous instrumental excursions, prog-metal, and solos that make you catch your breath. It's metal at its best, regardless of the genre tag stuck to it."

ORANSSI PAZUZU - Muukalainen Puhuu - 2009
www.myspace.com/oranssipazuzu
Download
Formed in 2007 in Finland.
This is their first and only release until today.
Translated from Finnish, title means "Alien Speaks".
Ambient Black Metal psychedelia.
This is highly recommended!
"Oranssi Pazuzu’s music has a taste of Norwegian black metal and Finnish kraut-psychedelia. The sound is highly visual and atmospheric, embracing the dark corners of space and mind."
"The basis in their music is raw and simple black metal in the vein of latter day Darkthrone, but with an experimental and psychedelic twist. The early seventies Krautrock scene and especially Can is a big influence. While the vocals certainly are extreme and might scare off a few psych/krautrock fans who might otherwise have enjoyed the album, the music is not your ordinary harsh black metal. The tempo is mostly mid-paced and there are only very few faster sections on the album. The atmosphere is tripped out and spacy and the use of vintage keyboards really give the music an organic feel."

MOONSORROW - Viides Luku : Hävitetty - 2007
www.myspace.com/moonsorrowofficial
Download
Finnish band formed in 1995.
This is their fifth album.
Translated from Finnish, title means "Chapter 5 : Ravaged".
Only two songs for about 60 minutes.
Epic. Symphonic. Melancholic. Progressive. Crushing.
Highly recommended!
"The two tracks are marked by extremely long (semi-)acoustic introductions building up to a grand entrance of drums, bass and harsh distorted riffing. From then on, the songs develop into a Viking black metal beast with repetitive guitar themes, a touch of Finnish folk music and epic choir work. Dark, dramatic and devastatingly heavy, "Jäästä Syntynyt" and "Tuleen Ajettu Maa" form a nearly perfect union of lyrical concept and musical vision."
