The Blackened Moose
I've decided to start this blog as a way to help promote bands i'm currently enjoying. Everything that is posted here will be stuff that i physically own and any download links that are posted are intended to be used for people to gain a good idea of the music, album etc. If you like what you hear delete the files and buy the album, because if artisits don't get paid for the work they can't make more music etc etc etc. (you know what i'm getting at).

Cerebrate - Soul's Abyss
Genre: Death Metal
Origin: United States
A brilliant dirty, scuzzy, filthy sounding two track demo of the most depraved death metal. Featuring members of black metal band Ash Borer this demo is almost a cruel release, due to the two tracks present both being stunning and leaving you wanting more of the depraved filth.

1. Soul's Abyss I
2. Soul's Abyss II
Currently out of print, but a pro tape edition is due out in the near future through psychic violence.

Witchclan - Misanthropist
Genre: Black Metal
Origin: United Kingdom
Some amazing black metal here from the UK in the form of Witchclan. Anyone who has viewed this page previously will know of my fondness for Witchclan and their own brand of black metal. Witchclan hailing from Suffolk are the product of mastermind Matt Bass who in the early 90's was one of the founding memebers of the band. However in 1995 after releasing two demos the band split and the Witchclan name lay dormant seemingly never to return. But in 2009 Matt decided to resurect the Witchclan name and pick up where he left off, but this time he would be working alone in order to control every aspect of the bands sound and songwriting. In 2010 and early 2011 two further demos were released as this full length was being worked on, but now after around 20 years this, Witchclans debut full length has seen the light of day. and what do you suppose it sounds like?????? Well it sounds like you'd expect, it sounds like cold, dark, pitch black metal in the vein of Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor etc. But unlike many bands formed in the modern day, this doesn't sound like a mere retread of former glories. This sounds like a classic second wave black metal album which if released in 95 or 96 would be hailed as a classic release from an amazing british black metal band. I personally hope this one doesn't fly under the radar and that it gets the recognition and plaudits it truly deserves, from black metal's past witchclan have came shrieking into its future with this their debut full length cementing it's place as being utterly essential black metal. All hail Witchclan M/

Mare Cognitum - The Sea Which Has Become Known
Genre: Black Metal
Origin: United States
Born in the concrete jungle of Santa Ana, Mare Cognitum is a black metal band consisting of one member, Jacob Buczarski. This project began as an attempt to carve out it’s own territory in the wider scope of black metal - a movement often viewed as a clouded sea of imitation and duplicity. This previous statement is the only shred of available information i have managed to find on this project and release. Seemingly shrouded in mystery and clearly reluctant to reach a wider audience, this is actually quite a shame as this five track mini album from mare cognitum is well worth your time. Playing a style of atmospheric black metal with a heavy use of keyboards mare cognitum don't produce anything mind blowingly original and seemingly wear their influences proudly on their sleeve, with Emperor and Wolves In The Throne Room springing to mind on more than one occasion. However i strongly suggest anyone who is a fan of the aforementioned bands and black metal in general to check this out. as far as i'm aware there has been no physical release and the album has only been released digitally through bandcamp.
Track Listing
1. Internal Deliquescence
2. A Vain Lament
3. Vehement Coalescence
4. Lustrate
5. The Immortal Plague

Rhinocervs - The Odour Of Dust & Rot
Genre: Black Metal
Origin: United States
Having already been a fan of the crepsculo negro label and it's associated bands it was only natural that i also check out the rhinocervs label which is apparently ran by the man behind the Glossolalia project. After the first two untitled mini compilations were released, the way was paved for this monsterous behemoth. Put bluntly if you were remotley a fan of the first two rhinocervs compilations you must own this! The sheer immense quality of the labels releases is nothing short of phenomenal and with the news of yet another untitled compilation due to be released any time now, the future looks bright (or dark) for this small underground label.
Track Listing
1. Unkown Artist - Enslave Every Star
2. Glossolalia - Filth In The Light
3. Absum - Living Graves
4. Unknown Artist - Strain I
5. Tukaaria - Empty As The Prophecy
6. Unknown Artist - Rhythms Of The Feast
7. Absum - Profaned
8. Unknown Artist - Tempest
9. Unknown Artist - Strain II
10. Kuxan Suum - Principle Of Harmonic Resonance
11. Nihilobstat - Traced In Absurdity
12. Unknown Artist - Strain III
