Gary Bettencourt-- this shit is amazing. Thank you and if you are still out there making music, I'm thinking the world could only be a better place with a new Black Monolith album.

Raw and chunky. Heartfelt. Unlike all of the over-produced black metal that could just as much be drum machines, this feels like real people playing real instruments to achieve real emotional depths and responses

Night of Eternal Darkness (NP-XIII)
by Mäleficentt
supported by 4 fans who also own “Desolate Unknown”
An outstanding album of which you will not become tired. It is hard to compete with the pure black joy of this record, I haven't had that much fun since "Drudenfuß" by Urfaust, and that was just a single song. Refreshing and real. Superb screams, some serious folly in those fast riffs, and melodies you want to etch in your intestines. Permeated by a mad drive and a vibe of jolly gloom and cheerful aggression, this record is a very special gem and a new favourite of mine. Not one dull moment.

Solar Paroxysm
by Mare Cognitum
If “atmospheric black metal” implies majestic comedowns and dramatic dynamics, this powerhouse instead constitutes anti-atmospheric black metal.

As Was
by Black Anvil
A creative and challenging record that pushes US black metal forward by folding in hefty classic hard rock/metal riffs.

Beyond All Light
by Anagnorisis
supported by 4 fans who also own “Desolate Unknown”
This is the strongest album until today. Peripeteia is different but not as strong as this release. it's a brutal, raw and antitheistic record from the first to the last note. Track "this cursed blood" has the power and tempo of Norwegian Black Metal but keeps its own unique sound.
