(Disclaimer: I made the logo)

Candina is getting better with every new release. When first encountering them I've already been confident that the project would end up on the higher quality side with their songwriting abilities. I wouldn't have thought that it should happen so quickly, however. In such a way even that I would count this as one of the best releases of 2021.

- Wolfish Grandeur

Solid old school German . The month has been dedicated to the German extreme metal scene and this new album by Irrlycht fits that perfectly, as it embodies essence of 90s bm with a primal and atmospheric approach matching the theme of wolfish grandeur. I especially like the varied vocals on this one.

- ...un torügg bleev blot Sand

Just a stunning atmosphere of nautical melancholy. As Ahab is one of my favorite bands ever this aspect of Friisk's songwriting was what caught my attention the most. It's a very welcome signature sound in this landscape that is overfilled with decent atmo bm bands. Regardless of that, the quality of the songs themselves is well above average anyway.

- The Hidden Portals

A refreshing display of avant-garde & industrial elements in this otherwise straightforward (atmospheric) black metal offering. Solid riffs with very good composition and competent vocals. It's not the single elements that make this release stand out, it's the package as a whole.

The cover intrigued, the music gripped, the themes of domestic stuck. with a touch of and that captures the content in a very subtle way, such that one doesn't even need to understand the lyrics to feel the message.

Continuing with a black/death sound this month's award goes to an outstanding band from .

Discovered this as the podcast's AOTY for 2020, which is a fully justified pick. There are some special tones in here that make this very while not deviating too much from the genre's usual sound

After the mostly atmospheric entries in the list so far, here's something more gut punching. This masterpiece from last year hits hard and on point with a perfect mix and performance for unrelenting terror. Also love that blasphemous aesthetic with the interludes and even one full song (Vreveler) with atmospheric liturgy style chanting.

Favorite song: 07 - Urgewalt

I've been exited for this since the announcement in January. Have to say it didn't disappoint one bit. The atmosphere is captured nicely between the stronger opening and closing tracks with their signature guitar sound. On top of that they managed to perfectly realize the theme of drowning by biblical flood.

Favorite song: 01 - Fate of the Depth

- Misanthrosophie

Phenomenal record of a great band that I only discovered last year when the album released. Got it on vinyl in February, which is one of the reasons why it has been the most listened to album of the month.

Favorite song: 08 - Misanthrosophie

Starting another series which presents my top listened album of the particular month unless it has already been posted once.

The first one I've only discovered in January but it got itself straight to the top position. Ezkaton from have both outstanding compositions, stellar execution and one of the best vocalists in the genre.

favorite track: 01. Altars of the Flame
