Another Teutonic gem I just discovered, "Totenwache" (is it a dead guard?) as I would translate it from German "Totenwache", is a black metal outfit hailing from Hamburg. This album is a fine and well-crafted mix of the right amount of melodies and roughness, distilled to perfection. At first they may sound almost generic, but after a few listens all the technical prowess and multi-layered complexity surfaces to delight us. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74
This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
Gloriously unrelenting, the new black metal masterpiece from Moray uses slashing riffs and searing vocals to tell an unsettling story. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 5, 2023
The excellent French metal band Epectase return with another brain-bender, offering an almost proggy take on black metal fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2022
