True kvlt: Morrigu, Desu Taem, Ashabah, & Sairen

Metalcatto

It’s that time of the week again! Let’s go!

MorriguAll I Feel: We don’t often get bands like this in True kvlt. Sure, decent production is becoming more common, but Morrigu brings a balance of melancholy and accessibility that stands out. Comparing them to Katatonia might sound exaggerated, but it paints the right picture — sorrowful and punishing, yet still clinging to glimmers of old-school melodic hope. All I Feel is a track for those who like their Metal emotional and heavy, the kind that lets you shed a tear without losing your edge. It’s dark, heartfelt, and proof that gloom can still sound beautiful when done right.

Desu TaemThe Deceiver: A familiar face in this section, Desu Taem remains unpredictable but consistently fierce. The Deceiver keeps their raw, old-school energy intact — fast, gritty, and uncompromising. It’s not refined or overly technical, and that’s the point. This is Metal for when you just want to let loose, smash some stuff, and remember why the genre was never meant to sound polite.

AshabahIncantation II: Storm: No True kvlt roundup would be complete without some proper rancid Black Metal. Ashabah delivers just that — grim, chaotic, and unapologetically raw. The mayhem starts instantly; no time wasted on atmospherics. The band manages to hit that rare middle ground between lo-fi authenticity and slightly cleaner production, enough to let the chaos breathe without losing its edge. It’s the kind of track that feels like frostbite in audio form — harsh, but exactly what fans of the abyss crave.

SairenLiverMorium: Instrumental Metal is a tricky art, but Sairen pulls it off with style. Instead of endless shredding or sterile technicality, there’s an actual sense of emotion and atmosphere here. LiverMorium feels dark, mysterious, and surprisingly evocative for a track without vocals. It manages to say a lot without a single word — proof that heaviness isn’t only about distortion, but about mood and movement. Even if you usually skip instrumentals, this one might just change your mind.

Yes, this week’s article is a bit shorter than usual. Does that bother you? Well, that’s what happens when you run a platform on pennies — it’s fueled by passion, not profit. Cheers!
