Today – it’s time again for Bandcamp Friday, where the folks over at Bandcamp completely waive their revenue share in order to offer more support directly to the artists.
More info is on the Bandcamp blog. Here are a couple of picks to guide you in navigating the huge catalogue that’s available:
Silurian – End of Ordovicia
“Blackened Death featuring members of Suffering Hour, Sunless and Grand Demise of Civilization.”
Released September 2, 2022 | Ordovician Records

Lustre – A Thirst for Summer Rain
” ‘A Thirst for Summer Rain’ has a core of warm, ethereal ambience, but is coated in the eerie and harrowing darkness of 90s black metal.”
Released August 26, 2022 | Nordvis
Luminous Vault – Animate the Emptiness
“On their long awaited follow-up to 2017’s Charismata EP, guitarist/vocalist Mario Diaz de Leon (Oneirogen, Bloodmist) and bassist/vocalist Samuel Smith (Artificial Brain, Aeviterne) present a bold and unique hybrid of black/death metal and electronic music. ”

Spirit Possession – Spirit Possession
“SPIRIT POSSESSION is a new raw and erratic black heavy metal entity emerging from the old school origin depths. They are a duo comprised of vocalist/guitarist S. Peacock (Ulthar, Mastery, Pandiscordin Necrogenesis) and A. Spungin (Ormus, Tarus) on drums and handmade synthesizers.”

Oranssi Pazuzu – (re-releases)
“Since birth, ORANSSI PAZUZU, ‘The Demon Of The Wind With The Colour Of Cosmic Energy,’ has never been satisfied to stick with a formula. Each album has seen the band expand upon its previous incarnation and then, like a supernova, blow it up and transform again into something recognizable but completely new.“
Multiple re-releases | Svart Records

Greber – Cemetery Preston
While Greber’s upcoming release “Fright Without” is not yet available on Bandcamp, you can still dive into their pummelling hybrid of grind and sludgey doom with their previous full-length.
Released February 2, 2018 | Ancient Temple Recordings~d7i Records / Hibernation / Pink Lemonade
Raphael Weinroth-Browne – Worlds Within
An “it’s metal but it isn’t” selection, as classical crossover artist Raphael Weinroth-Browne & his trusty cello have created a truly inexhaustible piece of art that can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.
