I'm at a point in my life where I definitely need more quality ambient music like this

Ultima - I. Katabasis

Listening to this in the office. Really nice Spanish black metal from the same guy as Délirant

Good stuff, just happened to be listening to this when seeing your post

YouTube video by No Gleaming Light Vorago (Germany/Mexico) - Morulus (Full Length) 2026

Damn, the #Vorago debut just dropped and makes me even more hyped for Magia Trinitas in Munich

heh, it manages to push the right buttons to do the trick for me. Weakest point are the vocals (even though still fit well enough) for me, all in all very enjoyable

recently released synthwave post punk black metal

surprisingly awesome

Happy to see they've retracted this AI merch drop after all, although without giving a proper reason why it was happening in the first place (which leaves a bad taste in the aftermath). On the other hand I doubt that a full blown apology or blaming individuals would fit either.

AI - not even once

Cosmos Comedenti, by Antiversum 4 track album

Prepping for the upcoming concert on valentine's day

antiversum.bandcamp.com/album/cosmos...

it will be a cozy candlelight event

Conjuring Subterranean Vortex (Split with THORYBOS), by HADOPELAGYAL / THORYBOS 3 track album

hadopelagyal.bandcamp.com/album/conjur...

The Devil's Blood are trashing their legacy with a single social media post on meta, where they're announcing limited prints of obvious AI slop...

really sad to see this happening, especially given the band's history in particular

The Outsider, by Old Sorcery 6 track album

discovered my favorite record this year so far:

Old Sorcery - The Outsider

a perfect blend of black metal and dungeon synth, and I'm not even that big on dungeon synth

Some of my favorite new discoveries of last month (that were not released last month) while playing catch up with all the 2025 stuff I've missed.

Everything black metal except Marca Diaboli (which is very adjacent masterfully crafted occult rock though)
