EMBRACING TEMP LOGO

Welcome back to another edition of Embracing the Descent and another opportunity to catch some fire from this week’s incoming metal. At this point we’re pretty sure you got it but for a recap: if it’s your first visit, we briefly discuss a handful of the current week’s new releases that stood out for whatever reason and maybe, from time to time, a week behind. We won’t be hitting everything because a 40 – 60 entry piece ain’t happening and who’s got that kind of time anyway. Let’s jump in and don’t forget to check out the full listing from Monday’s Initial Descent. Continue reading →

Handful of Hate - Adversus

One year removed from Handful of Hate’s silver anniversary as a black metal wrecking crew, code666 and Aural Music will be handling the release of their seventh full length, Adversus, on May 10 and lucky for you, that’s next week.

Murdryck

From its 1999 inception as a dark ambient project to 2014’s rejuvenation as a black metal band, Murdryck has been there, done that, and killed it in the realm of dark arts.

In conjunction with release day, we recently had the chance to ask the band our set of Profile questions so head directly below to see how it all went down. Continue reading →
