Whis Woilet Wednesday (9/28/22)
HEY THERE’S A FEW FUCKING THINGS OUT THIS WEEK.
In the interest of not making you wait any longer for the absurd amount of albums coming out this week, I’m going to be doing something a little different. At time of publication, this list isn’t complete, but I will be periodically updating it throughout the rest of today and tomorrow to compile a more comprehensive list of new music. I’m not exaggerating when I say the number of albums on the way going into October is absurd, so you can expect a lot more to come. Check out what we’ve got already though and let us know if there’s yet more we missed.
Firtan – Marter (Art of Propaganda Records) [Pagan Black Metal]
For all the guff I like to give the entire genre of black metal and all the people who listen to it, Firtan always manages to hit for me. Their melodies are highly evocative, melancholic but nostalgic, great for listening under grey skies as the leaves begin to turn. Their tasteful use of clean guitar brings dynamics and texture to the tunes as well, and it’s easy to get lost in the atmosphere they create. This holds true on their newest as well, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of it. 9/30/22 (Spear)
