Can you imagine Nile or Hour Of Penance joining forces with Fleshgod Apocalypse or Septicflesh? Mexico’s Shemhamforash’s second album is epic, symphonic, majestic, but also brutally fast and convoluted. A fucking tornado! Wow.

For some scholars, “Wolf’s Lair Abyss” is the work that really explains Mayhem’s sound, beyond the legendary “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas”. Here, that classic black metal prowess meets the further evolution of the band, with that experimentation resulting in a cult EP, dark and lethal. The perfect blend of every side of the Norwegian beast, the missing link between their first album and “Grand Declaration of War”.

Ultraclear vinyl LP.

J. Read continues his war against everything on the fifth Revenge album. Rampaging bestiality to reduce the world to ashes.

Marbled LP.
