I hit play on Todbringer and it hit back—with piano, Camus, and a scream that knew exactly where to land. An album for people who feel too much and keep going anyway.
Déhà released a one-off melodic black metal album.
I responded like a rational adult:
By spiralling into hyperfocus and writing a small novel about it.
One hour. One forest. No way back. Devoured by the Oak wraps you in choirs, blastbeats, moss, and mourning—and doesn’t let go until your soul’s been tenderised.
I ghosted Moonlight Sorcery's debut in 2023. Big mistake. Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle is a frostbitten, glitter-soaked black metal epic—melodic, ridiculous, and dangerously fun.
Original English review of Déhà’s funeral doom masterpiece “Nethermost & Absolute Comfort.” First published in German on Stormbringer.at — now restored to its raw, emotional form.
