The Phoenix-born Northern California/Brooklyn-based noisemakers Servile Sect play "sci-fi influenced black metal." It's even more awesome than that sounds. The band, featuring Luke Krnkr (one half of ITHI) and Ash Borer's Nhate Clmnt, previously released two full-lengths (and one EP), the last one Realms Of The Queen via Ecstatic Peace. Album three Trvth is out now in an edition of 250 courtesy of R. Loren's trusty Handmade Birds imprint. (I gave Trvth a mention at the start of my Top 26 Metal Albums Of 2011 So Far because it's another favorite, one [...]
Depressive black metal is a definite hit-or-miss of a subgenre. When it’s good, it’s bone-chillingly great. When it’s bad (and a LOT of it is bad), it’s just embarrassing. Remember when Xasthur used to be cool, before Malefic started collaborating with Pitchfork-approved songstresses and ultimately threw in the towel? Yeah, me neither (what happened after [...]

I find it strange that Dario Derna, beastly drummer for beastly death metallers Drawn and Quartered, would make such un-beastly sounds as Krohm . His one-man black metal band is easily on par with more well-known American peers in terms of vulnerability and malnutrition. For some of the saddest, pastiest sounds this side of The Cure, I recommend A World Through Dead Eyes and Slayer of Lost Martyrs/Crown of the Ancients . I Respiri Delle Ombre Tra La Carne E Il Nulla [...]

The Waning Moribund 2004 Krohm is the solo black metal project of Drawn and Quartered drummer Dario Derna. It's depressive black metal, a long ways from the blastbeats and brimstone of DNQ. His guitar work is reminiscent of Xasthur, with pulsing, dissonant jangly figures. Since Derna's a drummer, his percussion is more "lively" and interesting than the typical one-man band drum machine. "Sad" hardly describes the lyrics: "These eyes have wept, torrents of years / The sense of wonder, [...]
