Suffering so you don't have to!
Metalcatto
Hi there, my beloved dungeon dwellers. It’s that time of the week where I dig into whatever the deep underground throws at us and try to give some constructive criticism. I really tried to mix things up this time. Also—did I mention that now even the smallest bands can get a full review? But for a price, of course (scroll to the bottom), and with no guarantees of a positive score. We’re not complete sellouts… yet! Let’s go!
Metalcatto & Vicky
As usual, I want our interviews to be about more than just the albums.I know many artists will sigh at this, since they see an opportunity for ruthless self-promotion slip away—but that’s not the case, people! We want to give you layers, and today we have Fia from Exiled Hope, someone who’s aiming to become a lawyer and defend your (yes, your!) rights against the predatory hands of the merchants of death. (That’s the music industry, of course.). But first, we asked Fia a bit about Apocrypha, her latest album—you know, the one Vicky reviewed here!

The sun was rising over the Metal Kingdom.
Slowly, lazily, its first weak rays crept over the woods surrounding the capital and almost got lost in the misty shade. But on they crept, on and on, until they touched a village that was huddled at the very foot of the Metal Hill. On top of the hill an impregnable castle was perched, its battlements barely lit with Aurora, its high walls proud and sturdy.

We have unfinished business with Behemoth, and as we prepare for The Sh@t ov God to be smeared all over us, let’s continue this journey through its discography. If you haven’t read the first half, click here! Now, without further ado, let’s jump into the best half of this band’s catalogue — the one filled with actual legendary work!
Metalcatto
If you follow us on social media, you’ll know I have a complex relationship with Behemoth. This is because the band only has two modes: either it absolutely blasts me away, or it makes me sink into the worst depression ever—because of how much disdain I end up feeling. So in the end, I’m not angry, just disappointed. Join me in this ranking, where we’ll reach the lowest lows and the highest highs Metal can offer before we dive into The Sh@t ov God.

It’s time to return to the roots of this forsaken section. Today, I bring you nothing but dirty, rancid Black Metal from the pit. However, don’t let all my adjectives fool you—there’s something interesting about every release I’ve picked. Whether it’s how at home they make us feel or how real they sound, there’s no doubt in my mind that Black Metal is more dead and alive at the same time than ever before. But enough babbling—let’s get to what you came for.

Please indulge me in a little experimental writing here!
Pegah & Metalcatto
It’s that time of the week again—you’re all still out there, busy sending me material left and right, which means the review queue is slowly getting longer. But don’t despair, my junior musicians—we’ll get to you one day. Then again, maybe today is your lucky day. Anyway, I brought Pegah to help me with the mountain of work we always seem to have here at MER. Let’s get to it!
You might say that I’ve been away from True kvlt for a few weeks. Some of you might even get impatient, but what can I do if the last two weekends haven’t been packed with interesting releases from the heavyweights? It’s an unfair and cruel world, but we all gotta chase the clout, right? Anyway, it’s time to return to the humble task of showing small projects that against all odds survive another day. Let’s get to it now!
Hi there, my beloved blog-dwellers. It’s been a long time since we had an interview. However, that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about you—the people who can read for longer than three minutes! (The blog stats show that not only do you exist, but you also come back often.) Anyway, we talked to Hedonistica from Völva, one of the most interesting Black Metal bands out there. Why? Because it’s actually rebellious and controversial without being edgy. But “Catto, how’s that even possible?” Read below, kiddo!
