Holy shit. Caught these guys at Nummirock and was instantly hooked! Their new album King Fucking Satan has just come out, and it’s something to behold! Fuck the rest, Satan is best!

Vintersorg – Till Fjälls del II
Track to check out: En väldig isvidds karga dräkt
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/vintersorg-till-fjalls-del-ii-review/

Vintersorg never disappoints and Till Fjälls del II is another mighty offering from the project. I’m going to be listening to this album a lot over the coming months!

The Chant – Approacher
Track to check out: Approacher
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/the-chant-approacher-review/

Approacher may only be an EP, but it is very to-the-point and is an extremely impactful release. You can always expect great things from The Chant.

The Birthday Massacre have a strong musical identity that never disappoints and Under Your Spell is no different.

Igorrr – Savage Sinusoid
Track to check out: Houmous
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/igorrr-savage-sinusoid-review/

Igorrr proves that there’s a creative method to madness.

Ye Banished Privateers – First Night Back In Port
Track to check out: All The Way To Galway
Our Review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/ye-banished-privateers-first-night-back-port-review/

I have a complex where I believe I look like Jack Sparrow and I like to pretend I’m an honest pirate. This helps me live out that grandiose delusion. Arr-har-har!
