Through the Moonless Night
Aug 28 2025 - Brazen Blazes and Close Shaves
Had to rush this week's playlist due to total lack of time, and ended up having one of my favorite sets yet. I didn't try too hard this week to find new stuff, though I did end up featuring two brand new tracks. One from the mighty Coroner, whose comeback album is releasing extremely soon. I say mighty Coroner as though I'm a long time fan...is this the moment where I admit this single is the first time I've ever listened to them? For some reason, I thought they were a NWOBHM band all along and avoided them thinking it'd be some third rate Maiden (a band I already don't hold a lot of love for). Hearing the single and finding that it was weird and thrashy and kinda off kilter got me researching into their past and realizing how wrong I was. Whoops

I also featured a track from an album that's becoming another favorite of the year - Brazen Horde - whose stuff sounds like Immortal, Hate Forest and Bathory united and merged all their best attributes. I also dipped back into some favorites from recent years from Revororum ib Malacht, Clandestine Blaze, and Deathspell Omega. Also took some trips down memory lane with early Ensiferum making an appearance. Paid tribute to Jürgen Bartsch from Bethlehem too. RIP.
