[short review for an older recording, yet still too hot to ignore]

Carnal Denial  is a new outfit by Przemysław ‘Sadox’ Grochowski, owner of the labels GoH Recordings (previously known as Gates Of Hypnos) and Militant Liturgy, and involved with tens of sick acts, such as Sado Rituals, Rekollektor, His Haunted Humming, Holy Hermit Humming, Hailing Her Heavens, Crepuscular Rituals (a collaboration with Ken Jamison), Lazy As

Vampiric Militant Legions is a new label from Transylvanian soil, focusing on Black Metal in the first place. The first release was 2025’s Quintaescensia Nocturna by Chilean horde Umbrío (unfortunately I haven’t had the time to write a review about this recording; maybe I still will in the future), and with Vampiric Oath’s Doctrines Of Withering Nature, this promising label comes up with a second sonic monster.

At the roots of the autumnal equinox, über-productive act Rojinski, hailing from Planet Earth, releases a new work, focusing on the feelings and emotions related to this harsh season. I will keep it brief and concise this time.

First a small opinion about the artwork. Okay, I am pretty sure it is AI-stuff, but it reflects the intrinsic attitude that characterizes this newest effort. Self-reflection and dimness, finiteness and a glimpse of nature’s tenacity…

A short introduction about this project… Hiemis is the name of a musical outfit by Juan Carlos Toledo, who runs the young yet fabulous Ominous Sounds label too, known for releases by e.g. Rune Clausen, Monotone Murk and Altum, and for some excellent ‘various artists’ releases that deal with the history, psychology and philosophy of magic, ceremony and belief in ancient times.

[older release, never too late to be highlighted…]

A secret to share, a promise to be kept…

Even though the album The Erosion Of Innocence will soon celebrate its first anniversary, I still feel the urge to write down my (in-depth / interesting / innocent / naïve / necessary / clumsy - cross out what does not apply) thoughts about it…

What is told here, is the truth within you, me, all of us; which no one can see, or hear, but deep inside, one can feel that it’s breathing, watching every minute we walk this earth in darkness.

First a personal manifest. As mentioned a six hundred and sixty five times before, and I’ll repeat it once more: Concreteweb focuses on dark-edged Aural Art in the first place. It’s an independent webzine that writes about sonic efforts, not about politics.

Once again, several members of the Centipede Abyss community join forces under a new constellation; this time under the moniker Dandelion. The band’s name comes from a genus of plants, the taraxacum, characterized by their multiple petals, mainly white, yellow or orange colored. But this isn’t an essay about the beauty of nature, but about the beauty of sonic delirium.

Can you imagine my excitement? Quite recently, Monsieur Stu from Aesthetic Death informed me about a new Goatpsalm release. Hurray! Seriously, it had been way too long, for this act’s latest official recording (Downstream) was released in 2016 – with exception of Ash, the (unique) work with side-project Horthodox (which I have not reviewed, apparently??? – I feel ashamed).
