Horray for corpse paint!

This one is for all of or all of out there who have a passion for that black metal sound. From the low-fi 90s aesthetic through the plethora of iterations it has taken to this day. That nasty gritty stark black and white harsh explosion of fierceness. Have a listen to these 5 new black metal releases out of NY.

Elegiac: Archaic Dissonance, Vol​​​.​​​ 2

Elegiac has always been able to produce a pretty faithful take on the genre. They take that familiar base and sprinkle in some of their own innovation and some much-apreciated speed and fury. Kicking off with an eight-minute behemoth of a track the album only gets better from there.

Black Daimon: Haunting Dawn

Trying to scratch that lo-fi itch? Then this one is for you. This solo black metal project Black Daimon is helmed by Raziel a swell fella who’s scraping vocals, and fuzzy riffs have produced a heck of an album.

Synthvvitch: Destroyer

If there is one thing I love its a terrific combination of genres. Synthvvitch does just that. Let the smooth warm waves of synth wrap you up while blast beats rattle you into oblivion.

Karcinosin: Corrupted Thaw

You will not be prepared for this all-out assault of black metal on this album. Another album to quench your thirst for bleak, and scrappy production style. Crank it up and hold on.

Kyūketsuki: Shi No Kage

Another fantastic album that brings in a host of different influences. Kabuki, traditional Japanese music, and dark ambient. It’s all here to create a wholly unique addition to the black metal genre.
