  • Psalm Zero – The Drain

    Psalm Zero – The Drain

    Profound Lore has become known over the years as a go-to label for some of the best and most extreme black and death metal bands.  But with the release of Vaura‘s The Missing last year, the label opened up another avenue of exploration. Somewhat in that vein comes Psalm Zero. The collaboration between Castevet‘s Andrew…

  • Samael: Above

    Samael’s Above is an album that comes and goes very quickly, but while it hangs around it pounds those who hear it with a relentless return to form. Said to be a “tribute” to the Swiss band’s past, this new effort leaves behind the more melodic and organized sound of their previous album, Solar Soul,…
