Worship Black Twilight (2009)

Record Label: Crepúsculo Negro

Based out of Southern California, the Black Twilight Circle consists of some of the most raw, dissonant, and awesomely repulsive black metal acts that are currently active in the United States today. I witnessed the majority of these bands live at the first night of Black Twilight Over Oakland last week, and was truly blown away. This compilation was limited to only 400 copies but stands as a fine representation of the extreme intensity that is encompassed by the Black Twilight Circle.

Various Artists:

1. Arizmenda- Beyond Shadows Of Emptiness & Nothingness (14:31)
2. Ashdautas - Choirs Of Vice (6:17)
3. Axeman - Attestor Of Doom & Rebirth (3:48)

Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters (1995)

Origin: Oslo, Norway
Record Label: Misanthropy Records
Total playing time: 57:08

"Written in Waters" is the first and only full-length album of Ved Buens Ende, but can indisputably be described as one of the most radical albums ever written in black/avant-garde metal history. It is a journey to the obscure, inexperienced, and bizarre side of black metal, though it trespasses it's territory. Ved Buens Ende brought upon a completely different approach to emotions that is hard to follow at the beginning, but rewarding in the end.

Tracklist:

1. I Sang For The Swans
2. You, That May Wither
3. It's Magic
4. Den Saakaldte
5. Carrier of Wounds
6. Coiled In Wings
7. Autumn Leaves
8. Remembrance Of Things Past
9. To Swarm Deserted Away

Necrite was formed in 2004 as a solo project under the name Frozen Shade. In May 2005, the founding member, Thrull, began seeking members for a live line-up.

Altaar - Dødsønske tape (2009)

Country: Norway
Label: Self-released
Total playing time: 28:38

I found out about Altaar after recieving one of their pins at SXSW a couple weeks ago, and was very pleasantly surprised when I got around to hearing this tape. At the same time, I also realized that missing their performance at the festival was a huge fail. Anyway, this 28 minute ep of "Blasphemous funeral ambient doom" will most-likely leave you craving more. The first edition was limited to only 66 copies but was later reissued by Roggbif Records.

Tracklist:

1. Dødsønske
2. Void Se Vitaa Privaare
3. Upon The Blaack Eaarth
4. Blaack Altaar
5. Spltscnd

Dispirit - Rehearsal At Oboroten (2010)

Here is the self-released demo tape from the SF bay area based doom/black metal band, Dispirit, recorded live on February 2nd, 2010. This tape unveils a lo-fi blend of hypnotic drone-like passages, chaotic spurts of horrifying dissonance, and sporatic guitar harmonies that seem to counter-balance the barrage of tortured noise.
