Aberration - Refracture Sentient Ruin Laboratories ~ Blackened Death Metal

Aberration specialize in caustic, spiteful blackened death metal that seeks to crush you into a paste over Refracture's runtime. But will these steps on the blackened cracks re-fracture yo momma's back?

Hadit - Metaphysical Engines Approaching the Event Horizon I, Voidhanger Records ~ Blackened Death Metal

lvme - of sinful nature 01
LVME - Of Sinful Nature Norma Evangelium Diaboli ~ Black Metal

LVME’s take on black metal draws broadly from the many traditions within the genre. The classic tremolo and blastbeat approach releases the pressure created by shimmering dissonance and mid-paced ritualistic melodies.
