And so it would happen, in 1988, that Quorthon would transition from the primal black chaos of his first three works (all pretty fine by their own rights), into the mightiest epic of his career. Blood Fire Death is the first Viking metal-themed work of note since Led Zeppelin's immortal "Immigrant Song", and remains to me the very highest watermark by which all other works of its kind must...
Recommended The Film: History Channel's Haunted Histories Collection brings together twenty documentary-style explorations behind some of the most "spine-chiling" myths among civilized culture, from vampires and poltergeists to the history of Halloween. It's a collection that follows through in illustrating some of the world's "scariest" stories, even if they don't physically scare...
Danish maniac Jakob Zagrobelny is clearly a very talented individual, and his band Angantyr is one of the best of the black masses to take Bathory 's primal Viking core from the Blood, Fire, Death album and just run with it, or rather, sail with it... Hævn is the 3rd full-length, on which Zagrobelny, or Ynleborgaz, or whatever he is calling himself, has polished up the more repressed, buzzing...

La-Bas , or The Damned, is a novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans, a French writer of particular and idiosyncratic genius. I read this book last year with complete fascination. It took such hold of my imagination that I rushed through it in the course of an afternoon. The novel focuses on the writer by the name of Durtal, who is researching the life of Gilles de Rais, one time companion of Joan of Arc, who...
It's fascinating how a cultural context can alter the face of a very familiar brand of music. For all purposes, China's Skeletal Augury perform a black/thrash mix with riffing not unheard of in the days of early Bathory , or used by many Swedish artists who held the torch for that sound ( Bewitched, Swordmaster , etc). But there is something almost intangible about their riffing, drumming (via machine)...

Eternal Realm is the first demo from this Finnish cult as Behexen (they released one demo under their previous name Lords of the Left Hand ), and it's quite surprising if you're only familiar with their more savage, later full length offerings. There is a heavy use of keyboards on this demo to serve as both sweeping orchestration and a clarion herald of devastation, but it interacts well with the band's...
INFO: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496634/ “The Countess” is a period drama/thriller set against the violent and macabre world of 17th Century Eastern European aristocracy.

Director: Fred Olen Ray Release date: 2004 Contains spoilers As well as directing guilty pleasure the Lair , Fred Olen Ray directs some right twaddle. On the other hand, Spannish horror icon Paul Naschy has made a career out of becoming a werewolf (amongst other things) films and amongst Naschy’s excursions as the cursed Waldemar Daninsky is Werewolf Shadow , which was directed by the great...
One of Sweden's most uncompromising necrocults, Nifelheim basically begin where Quorthon left off with his early Bathory albums, and then proceed to channel Hell directly into your lobes. Unconcerned with progression or technicalities, the brothers Tyrant and Hellbutcher write ugly, ghastly, beautiful anthems of Satanic aggression, loaded with more impaling hooks and spikes than even the band can fit...
I've never considered doing a review of a book I decided not to finish but then I saw this post by Andrew Wheeler and realized it can work. One of my co-workers who's read a lot of vampire books read Dracula: The Un-dead and recommended it to me with the proviso that the ending was a little weak but the book itself was interesting. So I started it. I loved the first quarter of the novel. The book takes...
By David Glisan Throughout its history, heavy metal has done well to avoid pretense. Bands sung about topics like slaying dragons, chasing women, and partying. Then, at some point during the 1990s, the cancer of nu metal started to metastasize in the heavy metal genre. Bands started singing about relationships and their feelings in an effort to gain mainstream popularity. Were not talking about an...
