One can only hope that Crimson Moon writes more frequently here onwards, but quality over quantity is to live by. The final track is a twenty minute masterpiece of mountainous soundscapes acting like a shorter portrayal of the whole album. There are hundreds of bands that are classified under the vague term of ‘orthodox black metal’, but Crimson Moon trumps most of them. Beautifully crafted riffs, fierce drumming, eastern musical influences, occultic atmosphere all culminating together to form a complete ritualistic experience. ‘Oneironaut’ is one of those albums that capture your attention instantly. Crimson Moon – ‘Oneironaut’ Crimson Moon is finally back! And a comeback album of grand sorts.Condemnation is a great comeback album and is almost on par with Blood Libels. MkM is sick as ever with the vocals and the rapid riffing is thoroughly engaging. The writing is similar to Blood Libels, in that hate and anger are the most prominent emotions driving the music to its vicious culmination. Menthor of Nightbringer fills in for the drums here. Speed has always been Antaeus’ highlight, and Condemnation is yet another spectacle of it. Antaeus – ‘Condemnation’ Ten years after the legendary album ‘Blood Libels’, Antaeus returns with another sensory assault with Condemnation.Inquisition hits the sweet spot of spectacular non-noisy production while holding on to their organic sound with this album, and the lushness out of Dagon’s axe is beautifully fluid. No interludes, no fillers – the album flings a barrage of fiery guitar punches. The music is a close-to-perfect representation of this chaos in aural form, as the riffs transcend tellurian existence. ‘Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Alter Beyond the Celestial Zenith’ is an offering and tribute to the galactic symbol of Satan, consolidating cosmic violence as part of the ever increasing entropy of the Universe, the eternal law. Inquisition – ‘Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith’ Inquisition is arguably one of the greatest black metal bands of recent times, with not a single album below the high bar they have set for themselves.The songwriting and the flow of the album has undoubtedly improved, and a set direction is apparent. While I’m certain, some followers of the band would not prefer this change from the rawness of their early work to the polished black metal of ‘Hostis Universi Generis’, nothing is to be taken away from the band in regards to the ritualistic effect it has on the listener. expands upon the black metal sound of the band with better production, more juice in the melodies and vocals that are not overbearing like in the first album ‘Anti-Cosmic Tyranny’.
– ‘Hostis Universi Generis’ This time, A.M.S.G. It’s a pretty rounded album for a debut – there are fast tremolo sections and slower grim parts, rugged riffs and beautiful echo-y melodies. The band’s themes delve into esoteric Luciferian tradition and magick, and this album is to be treated as a dark grimoire with some original traditional blocks created by the band members.

We’ll see a few return albums and a few debut full lengths here. The thing I like the most about this list is how varied it is in regards to the different styles of black metal. The quality of black metal releases definitely picked up at the later parts of the year.
