Through grief, fury, and cosmic dread: Splendidula's Absentia channels devastating loss into black metal and doom, with guest weight from Aaron Stainthorpe and Tim Yatras — whose own vocals also haunt the title track single. Immortal EBT's Sacrilegious Bliss delves into shoegaze depths with black metal venom, while Oskoreien's Hollow Fangs tears through love, near-death, and shattered family in visceral fury. Elk Hunter's Arriving Intact bridges past and future with dark, meaningful stories, and Salt Divination's The Boiled Sorceress is "obscene and beautiful in equal measure" — black metal colliding with hardcore, power violence, and grind.
