The “diabolical façade” continues, as February followed in January’s surprising footsteps, turning out to be a remarkable month for metal. Weirdly, though, all the best stuff was released on the same day. Isn’t that an unlikely coincidence?

Frozen Dawn – The Decline of the Enlightened Gods Review
“As someone allergic to major keys, I find a natural home with metal, which tends to focus on the minor, or indeed, dissonance. We’ve all heard non-metal-listeners in our lives pontificate about how angry metal sounds. We all also know that it can bring happiness no matter how nasty it seems on the surface. Allow me to introduce you to some extreme metal out to prove this with a vengeance. Spain’s Frozen Dawn make their Transcending Obscurity debut with LP number four, a slice of melodic black metal fizzing with rambunctious energy. Polished and fresh, yet still retaining an air of the dark, occult past.” Stay frosty.
