No Clean Singing 🤘 SHADES OF BLACK: FYRNASK, MAERUND, CON, ARS MORIENDI, NIVEOUS, SNORLAX: (written by Islander) This is the final edition of SHADES OF BLACK. The final edition of May 2026!

No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS PREMIERE: TEMPLE OV AHRIMAN — “WHITE DEATH”: (written by Islander) The worst years of the covid pandemic were in many ways a truly terrible time, although it often seems like for many people it has already become a distant memory. But that’s often the way memory works, when forgetting bad times becomes a survival mechanism, or at least eases the way forward. [...]

No Clean Singing 🤘 SHIT I SLEPT ON (A LIST BY SEB PAINCHAUD): (Last December as part of our LISTMANIA series, for the 10th year in a row, we shared an eclectic year-end music list from Canadian musician Seb Painchaud — whose band Tumbleweed Dealer also came out with a great new album last year.

No Clean Singing 🤘 DESOLUS: “DWELLERS OF THE TWILIGHT VOID”: (Our Norway-based contributor Chile wrote the following very enthusiastic review of the sophomore album released earlier this month by D.C.-based Desolus.)

No Clean Singing 🤘 AN NCS ALBUM PREMIERE (AND A REVIEW): CROCELL — “SWARM OF INSECTS”: (written by Islander) Nearly 20 years into their career, which in the context of metal is akin to a geologic epoch, the Danish band Crocell prove through their latest album that they are at the peak of their powers rather than on a downhill slide.
