Apokatastasis Best black metal album of 2018 and my personal favorite album from the past decade. Words can't describe just how good this album is. Buy it if you haven't. You won't regret it. Favorite track: Magna Mater Maior Mons.

Metallurgical Fire As a fan of cinematic music and Morricone, I should have had an easier time with this. However, I would compare it to Entropia’s Vacuum in that both are the musical deep end of progressive black metal, and for me at least require much investment to really grasp. It took a while to appreciate Faunalia, but this is indeed one of the best metal records put out in the last decade. True experimental madness that will hopefully influence the coming generation of black metal bands.

about

Faunalia is Selvans sophomore album, where the band evolved and broadened their sound: their personal take on folk and black metal is now enriched by many unexpected Italian influences. This is why the band chose to define Faunalia “A Dark Italian Opus”: the use of progressive-oriented Hammond organs, synths and neofolk interludes is a heartfelt ode to the Italian musical tradition of the last four decades and more. Black metal mutates and changes and drifts away to reach the shores of orchestral, cinematic music, as Selvans developed long, unpredictable pieces like “Magna Mater, Maior Mons” having in mind both black metal and Ennio Morricone. Yet, the final outcome is surprisingly natural and consistent, something only great artists can obtain through far-fetched experimentation.

Fantastic album,its "abandon all hope & integrity" in musical form. You can listen to it,hit repeat and still be entertained all day. Heavy flow of melodies & screams, the tracks don't drag or have any filler that won't belong. If you like DSBM you'll enjoy this Tleilaxu

probably some of the most emotional depressive music i've ever heard, each chord washing over you like waves of depression. NONE is an incredible band and this is absolutely their best to date, in both song writing and mixing. mandybb

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
