Belfegor – The Kingdom of Glacial Palaces – Review February 22, 2002 I was waiting for a decent band to attempt Immortal’s frost demon style of relentlessly vicious, frozen black metal, and so we have Belfegor from Poland.
Hate – Holy Dead Trinity – Review February 22, 2002 Equal parts Covenant’s weird riffage and Vader’s brutal assault, Hate plays finely-arranged death metal that is as powerful as it is well-written.
Fog – Through the Eyes of Night – Review February 22, 2002 Fog follow closely in the footsteps of Norwegian black metal pioneers like Emperor and Satyricon with a similar neoclassical-meets-grindcore approach.
