Tim McLelland Quality stuff, but wish every Black Metal band didn't think that 12 minute songs were a good idea. Certainly some Asian flavor here, and like the occasional use of clean vocals! Favorite track: A Pact With Night Itself.

YomaBarr Murky, foresty, ritualistic, intense. If somebody asked me for comparisons I'd probably say Ascension meets Dead Moon Temple meets Dysylumn yet I store it with Elfsgedroch and Noctriulm and Wendess (see how smart I am? :P) Favorite track: A Pact With Night Itself.

Ippocalyptica Black metal is my favourite sub-genre and I have listened to over a thousand albums to date, but I cannot find good comparators for this album. I am not saying that Fortress of the Olden Days is very original - we can clearly detect influences from many classic and modern bands - but how all of these compositions are arranged does strike me as novel, and more importantly, very engaging. This is icy and atmospheric, ritualistic and menacing, and dynamic and hypnotic. Verlassenheit indeed!

PannionSeer Chilling, well-crafted black metal that feels like the discharge of an ancient curse. Claustrophobic and evil in all the best ways. Favorite track: A Pact With Night Itself.

hallowedhalls The dark and suffocating atmosphere of the occult is present here: reminds me of Nightbringer. A varied and interesting record. Favorite track: Amongst My Ruins I Am God.
