Our new, official site: FullBlackReviews


Our journey begins with Seasons of Flooding Chaos (Akhet Nw Isfet), some '’poo-tee-weet?’’ noises then symphonic melodies greet the birds with some war-chant drums. But as we said this journey is not about full of joy, you will be aware that when you hear some mourning screams. Great interlude from beginning to end. 

Crushing riffs welcomes us alongside great vocals in Of Hate, Passion, and Eternity, high tempo riffing continues with some moody piano melodies. As with its name, the song divides itself in half by lowering the tempo and letting the symphony talk. Building up the feelings with sick vocals. 

The Huge Stones appear before us like a tornado while we sitting at the top of the pyramid.  Forgotten Stones of Time, take the tempo to clouds with blasting riffing with some blast beats in company with great symphonic melodies.  

Stones go below to the ground, tornado stops and welcoming, soothing riffs surround us with a great leading pattern. Faceless Men, in addition to having almost like Moonspellish riffs, holds our hands and lead us through to half of this glamorous journey. 


We are continuing and starting to discover the secrets of the pyramids with Self Destructive Nature, soul-crushing drums with dark symphonic melodies. Awesome riffs clean the dust of our hearts while a melancholic lead pattern and almost Wasp like a sorrowful solo make us to getting lost around the brightest stars. 

The most heavy metal-ish song Our Essence, which I fell in love with it, is a genius track from a musical way. It is a perfect combination of heavy metal-ish guitar riffs with sick vocals and wonderful melodies.

While we are closing to the end Night Sky, take the tempo to the clouds again, and get the things darker after half of it. Harakiri for the sky-like piano melodies expands the dark territory, ends with classic black metal-ish vocals and soul-crushing outro. 

The journey getting completed with technically vicious Endless Sands, is a crushing track with softer symphonic melodies. Overall, even so, the drums sometimes sounds too much machine-like, this album is a perfect example of a combination symphony and black metal.

Almost every minute on every song you can hear a new incredibly well-written riff that blows your mind.  Soul Destroying Black Debauchery  apart from its wonderful name can be a national anthem for all those Canadian Black Metal scenes. It is one of the most stand-out song in the a

  Legendary French progressive death metal band Gojira releases their new effort Fortitude after an emotionally rich record Magma. Fortitude represents mixed feelings including tracks that not only reminding their old crushing stuff but also ones refers the new type of Gojira to explore. Standouts: New Found, Sphinx, Grind  Overall: 75/100 Our new, official site:  FullBlackReviews The album kicks in with The Way of All Flesh and Magma’s daughter ' 'Born for One Thing'' Starts with crushing a typical Gojira riff while Mario smashing his drums again. Chorus has some Magma feeling with Joe’s machine-like vocals. Continues with rich melodies. Representing the saving of the Amazon forest, ''Amazonia'' approaches the way as Sepultura did at the Roots . Has tribalistic elements, drums go in perfect harmony with the riff. But the duration of the song feels kinda long and leaves a dull taste towards to end. However, everyone should congratulate them for t
