But after a certain number of listenings, I decided not to force myself anymore and throw it into Blitz section. The albums isn't weak or bad; the problem is, DO SKONU doesn't really work in this format. There is almost nothing here from the previous works;  this is a very high-quality modern Black Metal with indefatigable blast beats that does not have any distinctive features. And this greatly confuses me, since almost all of Maxim's works have always had unusual characteristic features, even if they were not to my taste. But \"... and Darkness\" could equally well be the work of a Scandinavian, German or Finnish band. I have heard such music so many times that it no longer has any effect on me, and I have nothing to write about it. High\u2013quality, dark, angry, intense - yes. Interesting? No. But, perhaps, there should be such a work in a diverse DO SKONU discography.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 754px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2915234079\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=2271935116\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptofblackfog.bandcamp.com\/album\/and-darkness-was-over-the-surface-of-the-deep\">&#8230;and Darkness Was Over the Surface of the Deep by Do Skonu<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>RIFT &#8211; To Quench the Thirst of Wolves<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2021<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seancerecords.com\/\">Seance Records<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7,1\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Atmospheric Black Metal from the members of NAZXUL and ORDER OF ORIAS.

I have a lot of respect for the creativity of these guys, but for me, their music always lacked strong foundation; through compositions of exorbitant length and certain features of sound, their music is being perceive more like a super-intense ambient rather than metal. In particular, BEK\u00cbTH NEX\u00cbHM\u00dc is PAYSAGE D'HIVER with balls. Unlike the meaningless Swiss shit, there is something to listen to, but not everyone can stand two hours, because these are not synths, but guitars and blasts. With all responsibility, I say that my spirit and body are too weak for this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Bek&euml;th Nex&euml;hm&uuml; - De Fornas Likgaldrar (Full album) 2021\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_sJ9EoIFlTH0\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/sJ9EoIFlTH0\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sJ9EoIFlTH0\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1H58M44S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-02-13T23:07:01Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_sJ9EoIFlTH0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/sJ9EoIFlTH0\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Bek\u00ebth Nex\u00ebhm\u00fc - De Fornas Likgaldrar (Full album) 2021<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sJ9EoIFlTH0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/sJ9EoIFlTH0\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Bek&euml;th Nex&euml;hm&uuml; - De Fornas Likgaldrar (Full album) 2021\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Complete title: &quot;De Fornas Likgaldrar (Forna Nordiska Besv\u00e4rjelser Omfamnat i Tre Kapitel)&quot; Swartadauthuz - Vocals, guitars, bass and keyboards K.P - session drums Recorded 2018. http:\/\/www.ancientrecords.se https:\/\/mysticismproductions.bandcamp.com\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p><strong>ANCIENT NORTH &#8211; The Gates<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2022<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/ironbonehead.de\/\">Iron Bonehead Productions<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here is a sad example of how the absence of even the rudiments of good taste and style can affect someone else's perception of your work. When I started listening to this album, I was collecting my first impressions: \"A good Norway-worhsip, partly in the vein of old IMMORTAL, but there is something from DARKTHRONE as well. The sound, of course, is amateurish, but it can be forgiven\". Then I decided to look at the photos of the musician, where he  poses in a classic combat image... in the hallway of his apartment. \"Another useless shit from mother's bedroom!\". Of course, \u201dThe Gates\u201c is still rough and primitive metal in the best traditions of \u201dPure Holocaust\u201c and \u201dUnder the Funeral Moon\", but these photos left a deep wound on me. Them, and this idiotic  \u201cov\" in the names of the songs. And - separately - the dumbest song name \"Deicide Warriors ov The Abyss\". Seriously, what the fuck?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 720px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2893962728\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com\/album\/ancient-north-the-gates\">Ancient North &#8211; The Gates by Iron Bonehead Productions<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>84-\u044b \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u043a\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0445 \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u045e. \u0414\u041e \u0421\u041a\u041e\u041d\u0423 &#8211; &#8230;and Darkness was over the Surface of the Deep \u0413\u043e\u0434: 2022 \u0412\u044b\u0434\u0430\u045e\u0446\u0430: Zazen Sounds \/ Crypt of Black Fog \u0420\u044d\u0439\u0442\u044b\u043d\u0433: 7\/ 10 \u0410\u0442\u0440\u044b\u043c\u0430\u045e\u0448\u044b \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0439\u0441\u044c\u0432\u044f\u0436\u044d\u0439\u0448\u0430\u0433\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0433\u044d\u0442\u044b \u043c\u043e\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0442 \u0430\u043b\u044c\u0431\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0414\u041e \u0421\u041a\u041e\u041d\u0423 \u0430\u0434 \u0441\u044f\u0431\u0440\u043e\u045e \u0437 Crypt of Black Fog, \u044f \u043c\u0435\u045e \u043d\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440 \u0437\u0440\u0430\u0431\u0456\u0446\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u044f\u0433\u043e \u043f\u0430\u045e\u043d\u0430\u0432\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0430\u0441\u043d\u044b \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434. \u0410\u043b\u0435 \u043f\u0430\u0441\u044c\u043b\u044f&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1008,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[75,50,17,21,76,18,51,77,26],"class_list":["post-1467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blitz","category-rev","tag-atmospheric-black-metal","tag-australia","tag-black-metal","tag-blackened-metal","tag-germany","tag-ukraine","tag-51","tag-77","tag-26","wpcat-43-id","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1467"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1468,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1467\/revisions\/1468"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
