Kir – L’appel du Vide

Polish Black Metal has already established itself as its own school of thought in our small community. It’s hard to define it precisely. However, the sound of human decadence is the first thing that comes to mind. Kir is trying to portray that, but from an urban perspective in L’appel du Vide. You’d think that with such a title, this would be a mellow Post-Rock album, but no—this is as dirty as it gets. Still, it would be good to know more about the quality of the work itself, right? Stick around, kid.

Death Like Mass – The Lord of Flies

It’s been a while since we covered a debut. You know us—we’re defenders of the deep underground. While I wouldn’t say Death Like Mass comes without some noise, today feels like a low-key moment to talk about some decadent and obscure Black Metal. On another note, when did Poland become the land of Black Metal? Is it the Catholic guilt? Anyway, I digress. With a title like The Lord of The Flies, this release promises something disgusting and maniacal, right? But you know how it is—Black Metal can always find new ways to let you down. That’s why I approach this with open arms, but a cold heart. Let’s dive in.

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.
