The Infernal Records: Week 48 & 49
The Infernal Records: Week 48 & 49 is here! Browse through our curated list of the latest essential Black Metal albums. See the full list!
We are back with our second The Infernal Records newsletter. Fractal went through the vast collection of new releases and picked the ones that in his (and our) opinion are worth checking out. In the past two weeks, a wide array of albums with different styles were released, so there should be something for (almost) everybody. We would also love to hear your favorite releases from the last two weeks. You'll be able to comment on the article on the website, and for those that read this on the website, sign up (it's free) and you'll be able to comment. Now without further ado, the list:
