Plague Weaver, Psychoneurosis/Herida Profounda/Suffering Quota, Dead Exaltation reviews (2020/2021)
Times are (still) very busy but I am still trying my best to reserve some moments for writing and post some overdue reviews. Three, but nevertheless noteworthy albums are what we present this week.

They had released their debut EP in 2019 which was followed in early 2020 by another EP named ‘Through the Sulphur Eyes’. In 2020, after adding a new vocalist,

Ablaze my Sorrow, Evisorax, Farer, Sufism, Profanity, Intolerant, Uthullun reviews (2020/2021)

Snakeblade - The Kingdom review (2020)
Snakeblade is (yet another) one man project created to act as an artistic refuge and to channel creativity during the global pandemic times. Its creator describes it as "one man nerdy n'dirty black metal" however with the exception of the vocals which bare similarities to Dani Filth (from Cradle of Filth fame), I did not manage to identify further association(s) to that genre.
