Black Lion Records – Metal Eclipse Reviews

Disloyal – Divine Miasma

Stop the meat grinder at the factory! We have a Polish band today. This can mean a few things: extreme quality mixed with blasphemy or dull heaviness mixed with ideological fanaticism (I’m being so polite here). Disloyal‘s new album, Divine Miasmata, is sending all the right signals: good band name, evil album name, and killer art. So, I’m entitled to have expectations, right? It even comes from Black Lion, one of the most consistent underground labels out there. Everything on paper makes more sense than your fake CV. Hopefully, Disloyal lies less than you.

Codex Mortis – Tales of Woe

Here at MER, we strive to follow state-of-the-art Metal. However, we sometimes deny our roots, occasionally talking friendly trash about those who came before us. Enter Codex Mortis‘ Tales of Woe, a band trying to capture the spirit of the second wave of Black Metal (but meaner). It’s an extremely difficult task! You might be thinking, “What does The Catto mean? It’s been done to death”. Precisely, my child! How is this going to surprise us when “pure” Black Metal has become a constant trip to the past? Let’s find out!

Drift Into Black – Voices Beneath the Rubble

Here we go again, encountering Drift Into Black with an album named Voices Beneath the Rubble, a band that seems to defy labels the more you delve into their music. Initially, one might attempt to pigeonhole them into genres like Doom, Goth, or MeloDeath, but the deeper you listen, the less it conforms to such categorizations. Voices Beneath the Rubble, a name as dark as it is intriguing, promises uniqueness while hinting at accessibility, even for newcomers to its sound. But does it truly achieve this elusive balance? The answer awaits a click.

Summoner’s Circle – Cult

As the proud leader of my own cult, which you can join at any time, I’m interested in any research or art that helps me expand my paws around the corrupt world. Hence, when Summoner’s Circle came out with a new release named Cult, I had to investigate it to see if it offered me new tools that would increase my chances for world domination.
