Ippocalyptica
This is in line with the modern Finnish black metal that you know and love, but with a far stronger sense of dynamics than most of their contemporaries. I love my black metal blazing fast more often than not, but I appreciate when a band slows it down to provide a necessary respite from the whirlwind or to build tension before exploding once again. Korgonthurus knows exactly how to do this, and as a bonus, the tremolo riffing here is totally on point. One of 2020’s most-overlooked albums!
Favorite track: Syyttäjäenkeli.
Diabolus in Muzaka
Finnish black metal that pulls out all the stops with great riffs and melodies. Varied yet focused and organized songwriting, solid vocals, and good production make this the total package for black metal in 2020.
Favorite track: Yön lapsi.
After the mighty Vuohen Siunaus album, the light of darkness is seen in a new work called “Kuolleestasyntynyt” the new album continues the same line, but with an older touch.

This Album provokes such a maelstrom of conflicted thoughts. On one hand it's an incredibly wicked black metal album, on the other it's atmosphere adds so much despair and desperation. Beautiful or horrific, it is a personal favorite of the genre, highly recommended . Abyssius Murkraken
