the rest of Fallen Empire's photo finish batch of 2018 ultra bangers and viable AOTY contenders

Acathexis - Acathexis

https://acathexis.bandcamp.com/album/acathexis

Pulverising most of the time and atmospheric in its more introspective moments. This is an undiscovered gem that needs your attention. Immense!
Lubbert Das - De Plagen

Another amazing stuff from the best contemporary black metal scene 'Haeresis Noviomagi'. Probably the darkest and more traditional rooted BM act of their scene, hexecuting a powerful wall of monolithic sound for the intricacies of the death's trip.
Death Fortress - Reign of the Unending

https://deathfortress.bandcamp.com/a...f-the-unending

An immense, seething mass of brute force and agility from this band that is going from strength to strength.
Guðveiki - Vængför

https://gudveiki.bandcamp.com/album/v-ngf-r

Do you like your Icelandic black metal to be technical, chaotic, unnerving and hypnotic? Do you love Skaphe’s nightmarish atmosphere and oppressive wall of noise but wish their music had more riffs? Do you enjoy your black metal when it is imbued with a high degree of incredible death metal riffing? We already know the answers to these questions, and Gudveiki delivers the goods in one awe-inspiring package. I strongly suspect that these musicians are veterans from other Icelandic black metal bands because there is no way that an album of this immense quality could be a debut, but then again, this music is channeling the essence of the void and so the band members could well be mere vessels of an impending cataclysmic force that will wipe clean the Earth in due course. Let this music fill your soul, and become one with the end.
