Nordreich- Auf heimischen Pfaden (2007)

Newest album from pagan black metal band, Nordreich. Sweeping melodies, wonderful songwriting, makes this an incredibly epic, rewarding release. Skatval, the man behind Nordreich, is also in Sieg Oder Tod, and Wolfsbaum. I cannot recommend this enough, especially for fans of Bilskirnir, Absurd, Geimhre, and even Kataxu and Moonblood. A truly amazing piece of pagan German art. Stunde des Ideals Productions.

Amebix- Arise! (1985)

Seminal debut album from the British crust pioneers, Amebix.  This release is nihilistic as hell, crusty, thrashing, and will assault you in ways only crust done right can. Highly recommended, especially if this is your first foray into the world of crust. When the Baron shouts "The Kingdom of Heaven must be taken by storm!" on "Arise!", I still get goosebumps. Alternative Tentacles Records.

Mgła- Mdłości (2006)

2006 EP from Poland's Mgła. Essentially a one-man band from M., from Kriegsmachine. Very good, raw, yet melodic black metal, with a rather old-school feel.  I highly recommend all of Mgła's material, but this is a particularly good release, in my opinion. Garazel/Flagellum records.
