Pain and darkness forged in black metal fire: Splendidula's Absentia — shaped by the loss of loved ones including bassist Peter Chromiak — blends black metal and doom with fragile atmospheric passages, featuring guest vocals from Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride) and Tim Yatras (Austere), while the title track single Absentia (Single) offers a suffocating preview. Immortal EBT's Pale Sunshine fuses black metal and shoegaze through the lens of Schoenberg, and Sacrilegious Bliss delves even deeper into that experimental shoegaze abyss. Oskoreien's All Too Human meditates on free will and morality through Charles Whitman's tragic story — "achingly beautiful melodies" that "never let go" — while Oskoreien channels Bathory's Viking grandeur with neofolk and post-rock from California.
