Blackened Dark Metal from Trnava, Slovakia

OHEN is a band from Slovakia founded in 2013. Their debut album Mortal man is a fusion of dark melodic and black symphonic metal.

Whispering Lies is a second album by band Ohen. Delve into your own depths of self-deceit, false ambitions, and cleanse yourself of the golden idols you hold dear. All dogmas, all fears...

Austere - The Stillness of Dissolution

Black Metal from Australia

With their fifth album "The Stillness of Dissolution", AUSTERE embark on a dark journey that leads through the abyss of time, the inevitable return of order to chaos into the black void. In the words of the poet: everything that arises is worth that it perishes. The new album brings an overall blacker feel to their sound. This slight change of course does not constitute an easy nostalgic return to the old days as AUSTERE remain within the framework of the more mature and defined version of their particular style of depressive black metal, which reflects their greater experience and evolution as artists. AUSTERE arose from a solo-project run by multi-instrumentalist and singer Desolate alias Mitchell Keepin who joined forces with drummer, keyboard player, and vocalist Sorrow aka Tim Yatras in 2005.

Astral Fortress - Seven Seraphs

Atmospheric Black Metal from, Inman, South Carolina, U.S.

Astral Fortress was formed on June 22, 2023 by 18 year old virtuoso Richard DeBerry. Named after the 2022 Darkthrone release, Astral Fortress originally formed as an instrumental project with heavy influence from Black Metal giants Emperor and Burzum, focusing on heavy use of synths and atmospheric elements, but soon took a more depressive sound that is more influenced by DSBM and Doom Metal bands like Xasthur and Bell Witch. Overtime, Astral Fortress released numerous albums within a span of only a year, experimenting with different genres and styles. From black metal to dark ambient, Astral Fortress is an atmospheric powerhouse! This album implements a lot of gothic elements, creating a cold and melancholic atmosphere similar to bands such as NONE and ColdWorld. Lots of cool riffs, leads, and synths!! Astral Fortress takes a whole new approach towards atmospheric black metal with this release, going above and beyond Astral Fortress' early work.
