It has now been nearly a decade since the mysterious and prolific character Vindsval (Blut Aus Nord, Children of Maani, The Eye) began lurking in the French extreme metal underground scene with his haunting works. Set aside Children of Maani, which disclosed his interest for oriental-sounding tonalities, both his other projects, The Eye and Blut Aus Nord, have always been a scarcely concealed tribute to Grishnack's songwriting and the "truest" slants of the black metal genre's ideals. After a lengthy pause, Vindsval is now back with a third Blut Aus Nord album which, to gather it in a nutshell, should satisfy his existing fans, yet will also predictably fail to earn him any new ones. The chilling, spectral tonalities of Blut Aus Nord's previous releases, "Ultima Thule" and "Memoria Vetusta I", still pervade this act of self-acclaimed "Undaground Musical Terrorism", with what feels like more emphasis on the characteristic icy feel, less bombastic keyboard effects and more streamlined, stripped-down song structures -- bleakness indeed. Alas, despite the chilling atmosphere that this third release irradiates, the traditional linearity inherent to Vindsval's works soon becomes as wearing as the constant 4/4 drum machine battering this album never seems to part ways with; hence, although some tracks stand out as fine examples indeed of haunting black metal anthems (as the track "Chapter 4: The Fall"), most of the material on this album soon fades into a blurred shroud of uneventful musical nothingness.

Agalloch将于11月23日在Profound Lore厂牌下发行第四张全长专辑《Marrow Of The Spirit》，新专风格与之前作品大大不同，按Agalloch自己的话说：新专最阴暗、冷漠，极其浓厚化、细节化、激进化，是Agalloch迄今为止最完美的一张专辑。”大爱的灵团Agalloch终于携最新大作回归了，不夸张的说，这张专辑已已经让我苦等了整整三四年之久了。乐团自2006年发行《Ashes Against the Grain》之后，其间一直都没有发行正式的全长专辑，不过炒剩饭的精选再版倒是出了不发，所以让我一直都在苦苦期盼他们的全新作品。事实上乐团在08年初还发行过一张民谣EP作品，其实那张作品我也十分的喜爱，但终究只能算是一张他们的实验之作，并不能代表他们的完整水准和整体风格。这张新专原定发行日期是本月23号，但是早在本月初便已经提前泄露了，不过让我也终于如愿以偿能提前膜拜他们的新作了
