Review Achathras "A Darkness of the Ancient Past"

Once again, I stumbled more or less by chance across a band on the vastness of the internet that piqued my attention and appealed to me with their music. This time it's Achathras, who released their debut album a few weeks ago—without a prior demo or EP—directly through Cult Never Dies. Achathras surround themselves in the best manner of the golden era of black metal in the 90s with a touch of mystery, although this is actually a clear understatement. Apart from pseudonyms, nothing is known to the public about the three band members, not even the origin of the band is clear. So many unknowns – in today's age of information overload and the need for recognition, this is refreshing. However, the band didn't want to completely abstain from media presence, so they have an Instagram and Facebook account as well as a Bandcamp page.

REVIEW ELÄNDE "DÖDENS RIKE"

ELÄNDE is a Swedish three-piece black metal band from Gothenburg which exists since 2010. Before the release of their current album named "Dödens rike" they released a demo and an EP.
Most prominent member of this band is for sure Trish, who plays drums in ELÄNDE, I think some people know her through a lot of bands and projects such as DödsÄngel, Djevelkult or Skitliv. Besides ELÄNDE, she actually plays for example in Urarv, an avantgarde black metal band in which Aldrahn, well known through Dodheimsgard /DHG, does vocals and guitars. But enough of that namedropping, I only mentioned this to point out that ELÄNDE consists of well-experienced scenesters and musicians.
