Darkened synth music for solitary wanderings through majestic forests, or for the journey into one's own mind with closed eyes and open portals... I think this description is a fitting definition for what the new (?) American project Nightweald stands for. Nightweald is the outfit of some C. Davis, debuting with the demonstrational four-track EP Skogstema. That title comes from Norse and means something like ‘forest theme’, referring to pristine wildlife, Mother Nature, and our affiliation, spiritually, with Earth.

The Dutch act (they hail from the city of Apeldoorn) Black Rabbit was formed in 2014 and surprises us with a another (mini) album, called Warren Of Necrosis, nearly half a year after the stunning Chronolysis EP. Hey, are they re-issuing their debut demo, entitled Warren Of Necrosis? Well, no; actually this is a totally new recording, which accidentally (or better: on purpose) comes with the same title, Warren Of Necrosis.

The troubled entity Kasriel continues the burdensome search to seek answers on his considerable questions about loss, existence, comprehension and love. Waiting for centuries in the (metaphysical) halls of his mysterious castle (Inner Sanctum), his adventurous quest starts when the Melosinae (air spirits) dare him to commence this dangerous voyage. Guided and challenged by the Snawfuss, the seraph leaves, facing disappointment, struggle, wonder and oppugnance, as well as understanding, transcendence, even hope (Peregrinatio).

Another short one…

The last four-five years, Rojinski used to be one of the most productive projects on Mater Terra. The great(est) thing was that it wasn’t just about quantity, yet above all about quality. Despite the overwhelming number of releases, each of them, without exception, was of a very high standard.

Unfortunately, due to personal issues, the human entity behind the project needed to cease activities. It was understandable; it was comparable to the reason why I stopped writing reviews for almost a year, so I am judiciously understanding.

(the first paragraph is nothing else but a copy of the first review I did for this U.T.R.Y.N.-series, and the following ones are slightly adapted versions; yet then again: no remorse, no shame, just laziness)

For the legendary story of the universal happenings with the Emperor and the King I’d like to refer to the greatly comprehensive discographic catalogue of Zebulon Kosted (or, in a modest way, to some of the reviews I did for the marvelous recordings by Mister Rachid Abdel Gafur; links at the bottom of this article). More confronting is the fact that the concept of this album is so topical, so real-life at this very moment of our earthly existence.

Official note from the writer of this article (indeed, the beautiful me himself…), and mentioned a thousand times before: Concreteweb exists to promote different styles of (Underground) Music, and in extension, to support the artists, projects / bands, labels, distributors, promotors etc. involved. Concreteweb is not a forum to discuss politics from any scope.

This was quite a nice surprise. Very recently I got in touch again with Dutch act The Shiva Hypothesis. I wasn’t sure, to be honest, whether these guys were still active. I was truly impressed by their promo-EP from 2015 and their sole official release, 2018’s full-length Ouroboros Stirs. However, as from then on, things went extremely silent.

Those who are trusted with the divine Aural Art by Rojinski do know that this project is enormously productive (this review deals with the third [!] release in 2025 by this prolific outfit!), with each single release coming with its very own-faced approach. Throughout the years, Rojinski did slowly evolve, with all recordings having a comparable identity, yet also their specific content and attitude.
