Norwegian black metal/punk cult Okkultokrati embarks on a wild ride through darkness on the latest full length “La Ilden Lyse” which feels like the perfect soundtrack for the unappreciated and unwanted all over the world. 

Darkness inevitably descends on “Thelemic Threat” as the massive gritty guitar riffs lead the way to a blackened sonic realm further enhanced by the savage rhythmic section and the malevolent vocals.  

“Grimoire Luciferian Dream” is in fact a diabolical affair as the occult vibes flourish through the darkened atmosphere surrounding the rebellious & catchy rhythmic patterns full of raw guitar riffs and ominous instrumental twists. 

You can perceive a wild punk spirit throughout “Kiss Of Death” yet everything feels dark and cold as the harsh riffage diligently follows a malignant blackened pathway accompanied by tormented growls and murky atmospheric textures. 

“Mother Superior” unleashes decadent black ‘n roll dynamics built by a steady untamed rhythmic section yet the groovy riffs are often entwined with bewitching guitar melodies and haunting atmospheric layers. 

“The Dying Grass Moon” is an invitation to worship the moon as the nocturnal nuances become stronger within the immense gloom conveyed by an addictive blend of feverish blackened guitar riffs and intense eerie atmospheres. 

Okkultrokrati keep the fire burning throughout “La Ilden Lyse” without any hesitation and with a defiant attitude that spontaneously generates an overdose of blackened guitar driven grooves.  

Salt Lake City based duo Eagle Twin is proudly releasing the latest effort “The Thundering Heard” which far from being music for the masses it rather favors an enigmatic blend of doom and blues.

There is a primal force behind “Quanah Un Rama”, an archaic connection with nature, that leads to a heavily sludge oriented core with thick guitar riffs bearing the gloomy grandeur of traditional doom and raucous vocals with a sort of storytelling approach as the band maintains a cohesive rhythmic core spiced up by fuzzy experimental segments but offers also more accessible melodic moments and entertaining bluesy guitar acrobatics.

With a less intimidating approach “Elk Wolfv Hymn” begins with minimalist softer harmonies that aim to hypnotize the listeners before undergoing a sonic evolution that will bring eclectic tempo & style variations as well as nice melodic guitars that build intensity leading to another healthy round of bluesy solos and extra atmospheric themes.

The massive & majestic tonalities of “Antlers Of Lightning” inevitably amplify intricate rhythmic dynamics and with loads of sonic transitions, not always easy to follow, rumbling noisy guitars and bass create an apparent chaos before giving way to painfully slow doom style melodies and the consequent monochromatic but certainly monolithic vibes of such genre that will lead to a particularly somber final melodic ensemble.

Eagle Twin has crafted four lengthy songs dedicated to a select audience on “The Thundering Heard” which is the result of untamed music exploration in search of a personal style and the desire to defy standard boundaries.
