Art in its Blackest form
The masked Portuguese force of darkness has done it again! After releasing three highly acclaimed full length albums they have undoubtly enthroned the metal scene as one of the leading post-black metal acts. This week they struck us with a new video and song of pure display of power!
We are Gaerea!
The Ukrainian black metal act Drudkh has been going on since 2002. Being in the middle of a war they took immidiate actions to release the music video for the song The Nocturnal One, as a sign of Ukrainian resistance. They released the following statement throught their label Season of Mist:
“Even though we weren’t supposed to share any statement or music until later this year, we are grateful to get this new track out here today. It represents HOPE, may it strengthen those who need it.”
Check the video below, and their new album coming later this year.

We’re listening to Grave Pleasures new album ‘Motherblood’ alot these days, and thought we should share their new videos. For those of you who don’t know of Grave Pleasures, you might have heard of Beastmilk? Grave Pleasures rose from the ashes of the last mentioned, and they are throwing us a funeral party!
Our prediction is that ‘Motherblood’ will be their big breakthrough – with a little help from Fenriz who promoted them on his ‘Radio Fenriz’. He even said:
The new Grave Pleasures is sooo good, I even went to see them live fer Chrissakes!
Their genre is apocalyptic post-punk, and if you ever get the chance to see these guys live, you really should! It’s intense, it’s dark and it’s an experience you won’t be forgetting any time soon. And a little tip from us, remember these lines:
Oh happy death
It’s been too long
I’ve come to be with you again
My friend of death
Open your arms
I’ll be your joyful native
Earlier this year Tribulation released their third album ‘The Children of the Night‘, and the official video for their masterpiece track ‘Strange Gateways Beckon’. Now their back with a completely new video for ‘Melancholia’. Watch it below:

Earlier this year Beastmilk announced that they had parted ways with their founding member and guitarist Johan “goatspeed” Snell. They changed their band name to Grave Pleasures and has since recruited Linnea Olsson (The Oath, Sonic Ritual) and Juho Vanhanen (Oranssi Pazuzu) on guitars, and Uno Bruniusson (ex-In Solitude, Procession) on drums. The release of their album “Dreamcrash” has been set to September 4th, 2015, and has made public a song called “Crying wolves”, which can be heard below.
The band describes the album as a complex and feverish set of modern rock songs. Urban tribal rhythms; potent melancholia; raw pop sensibility; irreverent ferociousness – “Dreamcrash” is seductive in its surrealism one minute, and a cold shower of harsh reality the next.
“I am concerned with a total collapse of our dreams”, says their vocalist Mat McNerney. “Hacking out this feverish, frantic and very uninhibited music, it exposes and lays raw some intense emotions. As we get deeper and closer to capturing the spirit of what we set out for this band to be, we are touching some vital nerves. It’s getting under the skin, under the flesh.”
Ghost just released a video for their song “Cirice”, that will feature on their upcoming album “Meliora”. The album will be released August 23rd, 2015.
Tracklist:
01. Spirit

Black Forest Magazine are proud to present the world premiere of Germ Bombs brand new video ‘1000 Suns’!
– The lyrics in the song which reflects the video are issues about how we treat this planet and how we more or less will destroy ourselves with greed. We wanted to do something different and not just capture a band playing a song straight up and down because its boring and done a million times before!
Enjoy Germ Bombs brand new music video below:
Don’t forget to read our review of their upcoming album ‘Under a Fading Sun’, and our interview with bandmember Hampus.
The new video from Beastmilk’s amazing debut album ‘Climax’ which was released last year. According to Noisey, the song is about the world coming to an end, and how you would handle it. According to Beastmilk, “you could be a giant wuss and hold your family tight, telling them how much you love them and junk. Or, you could be a real dude and go down dancing with the ship”. Noisey reports that the video is a mix of scare flicks from the 50’s and 60’s cut together.
Remember to watch out for Beastmilk, as they are heading out on the road with In Solitude and Obnoxious Youth:
