brand new sanguine relic release courtesy of perverse homage.

really impressed with this release and the latest batch as a whole, so grab whatever you can...but don't pay outrageous discogs prices.

co-released by perverse homage and hatework, this compilation brings together a host of stellar artists for a sonically and aesthetically cohesive side of furious black metal.

a few of these artists were new to me, but everything here is great and this easily stands up as one of the finest compilations I've heard all year.

somehow, copies are still available from perverse homage...so grab one quickly and don't miss out.

lots of great stuff on black gangrene, don't know how this label flew under my radar for so long but glad that's been remedied...and this new perverse homage batch is expectedly great.

highly recommended.

finally have a working cassette deck again.

from the latest perverse homage batch, this split between flešš and lampir is yet another standout release from one of the most reliable labels around.

nicely packaged with a clear, pro-printed cassette, this is essential listening.

recommended.

1. Moraš - Lair Of The Inanimated

2. Moraš - Soulless Watches

3. Unholy Vampyric Slaughter Sect - Bloodletting At The Gates Of The Lycanthrope (A Serenade For The Pale Bride)

the main draw here for me was new UVSS material, but the tracks from moraš (with whom I was previously unfamiliar), are really solid and I'm actively digging through their catalogue now.

the UVSS material leans a little more toward the ambient side than some of their more recent material, with howling wolves and other ominousness filling out the track beyond the usual blackened fury.

great stuff, and I wish it wasn't all over so quickly.

sold out from the source, but maybe analog worship will be getting copies...

7. Kaznaxtheh - Through Sickness Carved An Awakening In Death

8. Megalith Grave - As Moonlight Casts Upon White Eyes

9. Megalith Grave - Cursed Vampyric Lamentation

this new 4-way split from perverse homage doesn't disappoint.

new material from old favorites funeral altar and megalith grave works perfectly with the obsidian grave and kaznaxtheh tracks.

obviously this is long sold out, but don't spend ridiculous amounts of money on discogs to get a copy...just enjoy the music.

Funeral Altar / Ghaisiuan II

28:34

55.64 MB

1. Ghaisiuan - Untitled

2. Funeral Altar - Untitled

3. Funeral Altar - Untitled

newest split from the two perverse homage staples.

the funeral altar side sounds great, as expected...these tracks really build on what was started in the full-length and they're first-rate.

as stated when it went on sale, the ghaisiuan side was recorded on a broken machine and sounds rough...not that I have an inherent problem with that.

in fact, I think it's an interesting experiment in sound...it adds an almost generative element, where even the artist doesn't know how the final outcome will sound until it's finished.

the resulting track is very noisy, very raw...it sounds like the guitar and some vocal elements are present, but everything else is in the process of being engulfed by a black hole...probably not what most of you were hoping for, but it adds a new layer to this release, which would've otherwise just been a standard (albeit excellent) split...it makes it into experimental sound art, a generative exercise in unintended manipulations...to my ears, at least.

definitely check it out.

1. The Rites Of Pagan Children

2. Reborn Blood Oaths

hot off the presses from the latest perverse homage update, here's the debut (as far as I can tell) from armenian black metal horde vanatur.

only two tracks, but they're substantial and really great.

plenty of riffs, ghostly shrieks, and a surprisingly audible recording make for a really excellent release.

highly recommended.

more from the latest batch coming soon...

here's the latest sanguine relic release, just received today.

everything released by both the artist and label have been fantastic so far and this is no exception.

sanguine relic have always struck the perfect lo-fi chord, at least for me...harsh and raw, but with unrelenting, memorable riffs that somehow manage to surface despite the grime and decay.

this is exactly what I was hoping for and I'm looking forward to absorbing this as the daylight dissipates and the cold moves in.

long-since sold out on cassette, the vinyl version from skjold disappeared in something like fifteen minutes, as it did every other distro, as well.

keep an eye on discogs, this one comes highly recommended.

super raw (and short) rehearsal tape from akurazbrukk, a new perverse homage entity.

the sound on this one is pretty rough but it's still monstrous. 

new perverse homage tapes were just released and have already sold out...ditto for those skjold records.

3. Drawn From The Rose Pillar

4. And I Shall Come To Thee As An Iron Wolf

5. Follow Me Through Thine Dream Of Dying Orchids

6. Upon My Tears The More She Wept In The Ivory Light Of The Moon

great stuff right here.

fresh from the latest perverse homage batch, this is the longest UVSS tape yet, with a slightly more refined sound and a real sense of purpose.

the ambient portions do exactly what they need to do, and that little hint of melody really pushes it over the edge.

don't misunderstand - that raw brutality is still here in spades, but the variety of sounds really help the more violent sections stand out.

copies should be arriving at analog worship and found remains soon, so keep an eye out.

highest recommendation.

1. Intro

2. Lampir Awakening

3. Forgotten Arts Of Penetration

4. Blood Cries To Eternal Sickness

this is the second pressing of the second demo (duh) from lampir, courtesy of perverse homage.

I missed the first pressing while shooting something that I really hope comes to fruition so that I can share it with all of you...but I digress.

straightforward, lo-fi, all of that good stuff we look for in "trve" black metal.

if you enjoyed the first demo, you'll enjoy this one, too.

all of the releases in the latest perverse homage batch were really strong, so I'm eagerly anticipating that next unholy vampiric slaughter sect tape.

3. Eresia III: Breathless Chant

4. Eresia IV: Contemplation

5. Eresia V: Purity

self-titled tape from sacrilegious crown, courtesy of perverse homage.

the band's most lengthy release to date, and, in my opinion, the most consistent and cohesive.

long gone, but maybe it'll be reissued.

I didn't get the latest perverse homage newsletter either, but I keep a watchful eye on the facebook page...because if you're even forty-five minutes late, you're probably out of luck.

kind of like how I missed the latest skjold release...

anyway, great stuff on this one.

Funeral Altar / Ghaisiuan

17:06

1. Funeral Altar - Untitled

2. Ghaisiuan - Untitled

new split between funeral altar and ghaisiuan, courtesy of perverse homage.

the funeral altar side is super uptempo, filled with riffs, no-frills black metal.

the ghaisiuan side is very different, much more cacophonous...but their style shouldn't surprise any of you.

will this be reissued?

who knows, but it's really great and if you missed out on grabbing a copy, keep an eye on discogs.


more from this perverse homage batch will be posted soon.

perverse homage released a second edition and that's sold out, too.

if you liked their previous material, or any other perverse homage/defiled light releases, you'll like this.

2. Corpse Of Angel Submerged In Inferior Blood

3. A Beast Of Ebon Blood

4. Blessed By A Black Sun / Thy Wings Keep My Shade, Thy Strengths Grant Me Hate

most of this collection is readily available elsewhere on the internet, so I'm only sharing the live set.

if anyone really wants my rip of the rest of it for whatever reason, let me know and I can send it....

...and I couldn't find the right place to split that last two tracks, so it's just one big one...sorry for any inconvenience.

courtesy of perverse homage, this is a live recording of a show in brooklyn last year, that I was somehow unaware of...oh well.

not sure if/when we'll get more material from UVSS, but hopefully it's soon.

this is long gone, as is the reissue, so keep an eye on discogs.

highly recommended, but that shouldn't be surprising.

1. Under A Horned Waning Moon

2. Dungeon Cries Echo Over Saturnine Ruins

3. Perceived Coruscations Of Daemon Light

4. Indelible Marks In Necromantic Subconscious

5. Declension Into Dark Void

somehow I missed the megalith grave release on defiled light, so this has served as my introduction to the band.

perverse homage's description is pretty apt - "piercing guitars and despair ridden vocals" basically covers it.

not digging this as much as the lampir tape (or the unholy vampyric slaughter sect compilation), but that's just me.

it's enjoyable nonetheless and I'm looking forward to more...
