Your Birth Month = Your Metal Album (and it’s way truer than astrology)

Vicky

Metalheads deserve to know whether they are the album they adore, according to their birth month. Through the power of astronomy I have made this list entirely from scratch. Alright, without the power of astronomy, just the power of your recommendations. So I’ve gathered some of the coolest albums my friends gave me (and that I thought were kind of good, too) and made a list.

Growls & Grammar: Ixone analyses Naglfar – Harvest

Ixone

Very few albums have impacted me as deeply as Naglfar’s Harvest, and a huge part of that is, of course, its lyrical content. Why is that? To start, it’s fitting to address the fact that, generally, in Black Metal, when someone wants to explore dark states of being, the result often ends up being an absolute trauma dump of a DSBM record. Yeah… there are better ways to do it. Luckily, Naglfar found a solution to that problem on this album. But how did they manage that? By doing quite literally what symbolist poets were doing in the late 19th century: assigning external elements to inner states. However, in Harvest, this is done with far less subtlety and far more visceral intensity—which, being Black Metal, is exactly what one might expect.
