Empyrium - Discography


Band: Empyrium
Genre: Dark Neofolk
Country: Germany

   Empyrium is a german band founded in 1994 by Ulf Theodor Schwadorf and Andreas Bach. In 1997 Nadine Mölter (Ulf's wife) joined the band, but in 1999 she left the band. In 2002 Andreas left the band and Thomas Helm joined in. Empyrium split-up in 2006, but they got back together in 2010.
   It is hard to describe Empyrium's style of music, they use the melody of the neofolk and the melancholy of the darkwave, all mixed with a few other genres, this combination creates something completely original, I call this style of dark neofolk for the lack of a better name.
   Empyrium creates an atmosphere so beautiful, but in my opinion the highlight of this band is the lyrics which manages to translate the melody into words, it is really rare to find a band that have both lyrics and instrumentals so well made, like this one.
   Empyrium is one of my favorite bands, I highly recommend this band for everyone.

Wilds Forlorn - Discography


 Band: Wilds Forlorn
Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal
Country: Germany

   Wilds Forlorn is a one man band from netherlands, it was founded in 2008 by Yuri Theuns. He also plays in the band Eater of Souls, that is another solo project of his.
   The atmosphere created by him is just mesmerizing, the songs range between harsh black metal and acoustic. They both work so well together, the black metal part is so cold and desolate while the acoustical part is so melancholic and beautiful.
   In my opinion the highlight of his music is the piano work, I believe that he does have proper training in the classical piano, different from most black metal bands that use classical instruments but are autodidacts.
   Yuri Theuns make all his musics available for download, you can find the links in his blog, myspace or bandcamp.
   I highly recommend this band for everyone.

Potemtum Satan - Discography


Band: Potemtum Satan
Genre: Dream Black Metal
Country: Colombia

   Potemtum Satan is a colombian band, I could not find much information about this band, I do not know when the band started, who the members are and how many albums they have released so far.
   The band call their genre dreamblack metal, but one could say that it is a mix between dbsm and post black metal.
   Honestly I believe that this band has a lot of potential, their music are very original, they bring something different to the depressive scene.
   Potemtum Satan will soon release their next album called Way to My Solitude, it is a split album with the band Dwell in Agony, I am not sure but I think that this will be the first release of the band Dwell in Agony. You can listen to a preview of the new album here.

NOTE: Potemtum Satam have two unreleased songs called Oscura Agonia (download) and Noches Perpetuas (download).

Inexistence - Discography


Band: Inexistence
Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal
Country: Argentina

   Inexistence is an one man band from argentina, founded in 2010 by Gabriel Loco, for those of you who don't know Loco means crazy in spanish. The style of his music is mainly a mix between atmospheric and depressive black metal, but also have elements from many others genres, like post black metal, doom metal and dark ambient.
   The atmosphere created by him is just mesmerizing, takes you to dreamy lands, and when you come back, leaves you feeling so empty. It is so beautiful but at the same time so bleak.
   Inexistence is very original, I think you will never hear something similar to this again, he manages to take the best parts of each genre and put them together creating such beautiful songs.
   I highly recommend this band for everyone.

NOTE: Inexistence is recording a new album, you can listen to the preview song here. Also he have an unreleased song, it is a tribute to Erik Satie, you can download it here.

78424325 - Discography


Band: 78424325
Genre: Depressive Black Metal
Country: Mexico

   78424325 is a mexican band founded in 2008 by M.P. and B.G. (Nostalgie, Black Hate and ex-Deep-pression). The reason for these odd name is that the numbers spell out on a cellphone the word "suicidal".
   78424325 released only one split album with the bands Managarm and Sterbenzeit, with just two songs by them, shortly after the band split-up.
   The atmosphere created by them is so anguishful, mixed with B.G.'s painful vocals, everything work so well together, it manages to bring you peace in times of distress.
   I really enjoy B.G. vocals, in my opinion this is the best project he ever played with, it is so sad that it ended so quickly, I really wanted to hear more from this band.
   I highly recommend this band for all the fans of bedroom depressive black metal.

Bitter Reflections - Discography


Band: Bitter Reflections
Genre: Depressive Black Metal
Country: Italy

   Bitter Reflections was founded in 2012 by Xasthuriath from Ukraine and Veirg (Suicide Emotions) from Italy. In 2013 Xasthuriath left the band and Letaliis (..., Photophobia and ex-Deep-pression) joined in, soon after this the band split up. During the period which Letaliis was a member, the band did not release anything.
   In my opinion the highlight of this band is the Xasthuriath's vocal, I have been her fan since the first time I heard something by her. The vocals are completely different from what you are used to in the DSBM scene, she manages to do a harsh vocal so painful and anguished, and in the next minute she is doing a clean vocal that are so beautiful and sad.
   I highly recommend this band for everyone, Bitter Reflections is one of the few bands that made, nowadays, something truly original in this scene.

Mistress of the Dead - Discography


 Band: Mistress of the Dead
Genre: Funeral Doom Metal
Country: Czech Republic

   Mistress of the Dead is a one man band from Czech Republic founded in 2004 by Vlad Cristea Vales. I am a huge fan of the czech funeral doom scene, it is not very known but in my opinion it is one of the best in the world.
   Mistress of the Dead songs are minimalist, the vocals are very slow and deep, and each guitar chord expend for a long time. Most songs have a length of 15 minutes or more, but they are not boring and crawl out through endless minutes, it is actually very peaceful and beautiful, and when you finish listening to a song, you can't believe that it was so long.
   Differently from the common funeral doom bands, Mistress of the Dead's songs are very sad and melancholic, you can really feel the pain in Vlad vocals. I have to admit that this band is not for everyone, only those who are fan of a more slow and melancholic funeral doom will be able to enjoy this.

De Profvndis Clamati - Discography


Band: De Profvndis Clamati
Genre: Funeral Doom Metal
Country: Brazil

   De Profvndis Clamati started around 2002 with the name Long Winter, but soon changed the name to Einsamkeit which means loneliness in german. In 2005 they changed their name again to De Profvndis Clamati, but their first album was released only in 2011.
   De profvndis clamati is so original, the music is so different from anything you are used to in the funeral doom scene. The atmosphere created by them is mesmerising, it is very dreamy. The melodies are so melancholic, so beautiful. One thing that I find really impressive and odd, is that the lyrics are writen in english, portuguese, latim and polish, they even mix these languages in the same song.
   I highly recommend this band for all the fans of a more melancholic funeral doom, and if you want to read to De Profvndis Clamati's full biography you can find it on last.fm (here).

Oppressive Light - Discography


Band: Oppressive Light
Genre: Depressive Black Metal
Country: France / Mexico

   Oppressive Light is an international band that was founded in 2011 by May from Mexico, P. from France, Letallis (Photophobia, ex-..., ex-Deep-pression) from Italy and (N.) (Shroud of Distress and Unjoy) from Germany. After the release of their first album both Letallis and (N.) left the band.
   Oppressive Light's songs are great, the instrumentals are so hypnotic, combined with the anguished Letallis vocals, everything makes an atmosphere so deeply sad, so beautiful.
   I highly recommend this band for everyone.
