Graupel – Auf Alten Wegen…
Five years is a long time in music. This album has been unchained for that length already! Germany is quickly becoming renowned for its Black Metal and this band are right up there in the spearhead. Having only recently discovered Graupel I'm eager to share my discovery of a truly brilliant piece of underground Black Metal. A nice tuneful little ditty... More »
Occult Crypt – Nebelwerfer
Grab your old SS uniforms, smack down those infantry helmets and slip into your paratrooper boots. Oh yeah, and don't forget your fucking Nebelwerfer! I've listened to tons of NSBM recently and to be totally honest 99% of it has been shite. Focusing on hate propaganda under the guise of extremely dire music it has offered me nothing. Until now....

Ravenfrost – Ein Streifzug Am Abgrund Der Seele
Imagine another holocaust! One in which the Jews are not the quarry but one where the exterminees are German Black Metal bands. I would be the aggressor and those who survive a perilous train journey, brutal working conditions, dubious washing facilities and finally manage to squeeze under the electric fences and escape to freedom, would be few. Ravenfrost would be one... More »
Vargsang – Werewolf of Wysteria
Similar to the Wehrmacht during the retreat from the Eastern steppes of Russia with their scorched earth tactics, German Black Metal doesn't have the greatest of reputations. I don't know why that is but given that German products are renowned for their quality and craftsmanship it seems unusual that they haven't managed to produce too many above average bands. You could... More »
Horn – Naturkraft
Germany's Horn play Pagan-inspired Black Metal - check out these free mp3 samples. Interesting stuff. Elements of it remind me of Burzum, Satanic Warmaster, Bathory, and perhaps even a tinge of UK Heathen doom metallers Bretwaldas - but on the whole it's quite unique, I... More »
From the Depths...
Interesting Black Metal fragments we found.

Black Metal is dead. In the UK at least. Seeing as though it is the place that gave birth to the genre it is as fuckin’ useless a broke-dick dog. There is no scene to speak of, just the odd one or two equally useless bands trying in vain to mimic some of the more [...]Sanguinary Misanthropia – Diabolic Gnosis
January 3, 2011 | 01:10
Opening with a song title of the length Bal Sagoth would be proud of (thankfully that’s as the only comparison to draw), the imaginatively titled ‘A Glimpse of the Image of Lucifer Gleaming Beyond the Subterraneous Black Sun’ marches forth. Mid paced, it stamps away with the precision of a well oiled Black Metal machine [...]- More From the Depths... »
