0:25-7:24 FEBRUUS (Sweden) Gentrification of the Soul — Swirling, headchurning proggy death with a furnace vocalist that annihilates. 

8:21-15:01 VUUR & ZIJDE (Netherlands) Naakt — Post-metal, shoe-gaze, post-punk bliss with chilling waves of black instrumentation and mood.

15:31-21:10 CEREMONY OF SILENCE (Slovakia) Perennial Incantation — A Best of 2019. Tempestuous psychedelic death metal and sadistic technical prowess.

21:34-27:46 SEAR BLISS (Hungary) Infinite Grey — 70’s style majestic synth and horns that add to their ambient black metal, evolving to chomping, fist pumping earworm and a touch of sludge.

28:14-32:40 DISKORD (Norway) Cogged Pother — Intricate, textural, deeply strange and amazing stuff. Had one of my favorite albums of 2021.

33:00-38:58 ENDE (France) Indigent — Organ in symphonic, melodic black metal and the sexiest gruff vocalist.

39:20-44:33 KRALLICE (NY) Here Forever — Yet another brilliant, technical, experimental Krallice that would fit a moody, sci-fi animated movie. 

45:04-52:34 AKHLYS (CO) Maze Of Phobetor — This vocalist is an erupting screech, with theatrical synth and a cutting, malevolent, relentlessly-paced black metal. 

53:02-1:03:08 LIMBES (France) Aulnes & Poussières — A howling emotional beast in a despaired tremelo-forward intense and shimmering black metal.  

1:03:42-END HAIL SPIRIT NOIR (Greece) Curse you, Entropia — A Best of 2016.  Psychedelic avant-garde synth-infused proggy black metal with a fizzy lead singer.
