necro
Un album à couper le souffle, mélangeant du Doom au rock psychadélique, avec des passage sompteux et super atmosphérique et quelle voix qui fait voyager, l'un des meilleurs album de se début d'année !!!
Favorite track: Cry For Me.
BRANT
What an incredible album! Heavy crunchy riffs with soaring, smooth, dreamy vocals, the music is a contradiction - somehow soothing and beautiful while also huge and foreboding. One of my top picks for 2024, I've had this on repeat since I found it, and can't get enough. Would love to catch Castle Rat live!
Favorite track: Cry For Me.

DAGGER DRAGGER
White sun falling on the singed horizon
Fear surrounding in the smoke still rising
Dagger Dragger
Why’s your knife-grip tightened?
Shadows twisted into shapes of demons
Thrust your blade into the dark mass, screaming
Dagger Dragger
The breast you’ve struck is bleeding
Lifeblood pooling from your painted maiden
Glory threatened by your hand mistaken
Dagger Dragger
Vengeance will be taken
Corpse forsaken in an unmarked grave
Spirit rising from your love laid slain
Curse to rival any fiend you’d claimed
Forced to turn about your still drawn blade
FRESH FUR
Six hundred million upturned eyes
None will be saved from worm and fly
You want me cornered, stained, and mean
I’ve licked my fur all slick and clean
The Heavens, looming
Did you view me?
Teeth glinting where my lip is curled
I caught you shifting in my world
I feel him bubbling forth
My fur has grown in thick and coarse
The Heavens, looming
Did you view me?
NIGHTBLOOD
Snow where I’m knelt
Blood-let fades
I struck your guilt belt
To sharp my blade
Breaking of the flood
With the dawn
Choking on the nightblood
That’s been drawn
Hanging in my jaws
Taste of it is raw
Nameless is the loss of
Such unsacred bond
Loyal Master
Singed my wing
Wet horses faster
Run to the brink
Breaking of the flood
With the dawn
Choking on the nightblood
That’s been drawn
Hanging in my jaws
Taste of it is raw
Nameless is the loss of
Such unsacred bond

The highly anticapated debut record from the New York fantasy doom rockers, is finally here! INTO THE REALM
True to the band’s ethos, Into the Realm was recorded in an abandoned Philadelphia church the band temporarily converted into a studio. Among the flooded floors, decaying plaster, and ornate stained glass windows, the band stacked their Orange amps and tracked over two and half days, with engineering and production assistance from Davis Shubs and Thomas Johnsen.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
