From the frozen wastes of atmospheric black metal: Splendidula's Kilte tears through a landscape of grief and isolation with tormented screams and relentless energy, while the gut-wrenching title track Absentia suffocates with atmospheric doom and haunting guest vocals by Tim Yatras (Austere, Germ). Colorado's Vitki's Gloriosum Tormentum plunges into depressive funereal nihilism — essential for fans of Nortt and Xasthur. Hungary's BÁL's Dög rounds things out with a hybrid analog/digital darkness: "The cover talks for itself. You'll hear what you see."
