June 2026 - Feature Release - The North Edition

First Post May 31, 2026 02:57 PM

Picking black metal releases for features in 31 degree heat is tricky let me tell you as here in dear ol' Blighty we have had a rare early treat of summer (whichmeans we have probably had summer for 2026).  Anyway, for this month I have gone with the debut album from Canadian melodic black metallers, Crystal Coffin.  A recent discovery of mine as I continue to explore the ever-rewarding Canadian bm scene, "The Transformation Room" was a strong opening salvo from this trio and so I have picked it for comment or reviews as the listener desires.

I've never heard of these guys. A nice, obscure pick here Vinny.

I haven't heard of these fellas either, but a couple of listens to the album today have left a very positive impression so far. Nice selection, Vinny.
