Welcome back to our monthly segment, Under/Current. Here we will cover the music we currently find inspirational, the music we look forward to in the near future, and what we, J.C.L, X.K..and P.S., are currently listening to. We encourage you to check out the artists with the links provided in the texts (Marked in yellow).
Authors note: Since Denmark is currently subject of the Koda/Google talks, many of our favorite artists are restricted from Danish viewers on YouTube. As such, we will be using Bandcamp-links when necessary.
J.C.L.
Speaking of Karmazid, we have another one of his works on display here. Dysylumn is a French black/death group with atmospheric elements, and October 9th sees the release of their third album Cosmogonie from Signal Rex. Their previous LP Occultation from 2018 was critically acclaimed, and the single track from Cosmogonie which is currently available, certainly lives up to the artwork with a dark maelstrom of the low-end melodic sound that made their 2018 album so great. I am looking forward to another unreal experience.
P.S.
This album was first full length album from Godflesh, released on Earache records 13th November 1989. The band had previously released an EP that i also highly recommend the band is formed by Justin Broadrick on vocal and guitar and G.C. Green on bass and the album is a true benchmark for what would become the industrial/experimental scene for heavy music. The album starts off with the bands big hit if you want to call it that, Like Rats, and it is a heavy song with a bit of English go f… yourself-attitude in the lyrics, a trend goes for the whole album. Combined with electronic beats, the underlying heavy distortions of the guitars and the overall feeling, this album is my favorite by these British.
Currently looking forward to:
Alright, traditional metal time this month. I am very much looking forward to the new release from Arizona rockers Spirit Adrift, a side project of Nate Garrett, who all so plays in the death metal band Gatecreeper. The two first releases from the band have been very much in the stoner genre, all of them good, like a mix of stoner rock from the 70s combined with classic NWOBHM-riffs. For this new album it so far sounds like they have said goodbye to the stoner aspect of their previously releases and went all-in on the NWOBHM sound, with a cool sound like a classic metal album. Look for a review from us here at metal to go...
Listened to this week:

Since their debut in 2003 the Colombian group has offered as much as five full-length releases that each time has been totally underestimated. Further into November this year they will release this extremely powerful crushing black metal record (Teaser here!) that hopefully will open more people's ears to these massive attacking riffs and raw in-your-face vocals that, combined, gives a medium rare production, just what makes this type of black metal sounds best.
ColdWorld - The Stars Are Dead Now
As for one of my most ever listened to projects, this debut of his records was re-released earlier this month on Bandcamp with a new design done by House of Inkantation. A lot has happened when we look at each release by this man but none will come close to how finding and listening to it for the first time felt. I knew this type of sound, some would call it depressive, I personally hear it as the opposite as it gives me joy. If you are into experimental metal this is recommended.
Back in March, these Danish guys released their debut out of total darkness. It passed straight through me and I only got to discover it weeks ago when they took the stage at Raise Your Horns festival at Bornholm, Denmark. It was the first time they had a physical audience and they delivered the EP to perfection. This week I gave my physical bought edition a spin and I would say this band would have to make a live show CD/DVD to really give the detail its fullest. The symphonic parts combined with the amazing drum-play just do not get to unfold itself properly to where it could be.
Favourite track: Confutatis
