Haunter/Crawl East Coast Tour 2018

Two of central Texas’ finest extreme metal outfits will be touring the East Coast in December.

Haunter are ritualistic black metal with hints of death metal, plowing through the soul and bellowing through the hells. The bassist is also a member of newer supergroup Entheogen.

Crawl is abyssal sludgy blackened noise of hate and despair, a sonic ritual in honor of the failings of mankind. He remains one of the best live acts I’ve witnessed, offering a transcendental auditory experience for lovers of all things extreme.

Absolutely a tour worth seeing if its coming to a city near you. More information will be made available as the time draws closer.

Carach Angren -Pitch Black Horror over North America Tour 2018

Dutch Theatrical Symphonic Black Metallers Carach Angren will be touring North America throughout October.

Support from Mors Principium Est and Wolfheart.

While not as big a fan of their earlier work, I found their newest album more focused and streamlined, avoiding some of the unnecessary plodding and repetition I felt was common in the earlier material. If you enjoy a good stage show and black metal in the style of Cradle of Filth, take the opportunity to see them.

Lathspell; Malum

Luciferian Nights Split

Two Finnish Black Metal powerhouses have just released this split. The Lathspell side has me exceptionally excited, as they are a fiery, aggressive, and crushing black metal band. If raging traditional black metal is your thing, be sure to give this a listen. Finland continues to be one of my current favorite black metal scenes, and bands like this are why.

Panegyrist

Hierurgy

Avant-garde ritual black metal from Chicago, Illinois. This is their debut album, released just this year through I, Voidhanger records.

The avant-garde elements remind me a tad of Therion, but this is definitely still wrapped up in the black metal spirit. A ritual for the soul, this is not raw or aggressive, but rather spiritual and contemplative, with underlying grandeur and majesty.
