The Future as Nightmare

by Phantom Hymn

supported by

bcb723 Absolutely pummeling blackened punk spirit with the songs to match. I'm also impressed with how he is so melodically focused while at the same time completely destroying everything in sight with these ten tracks. Nicely done. Favorite track: Lips of Wisdom.

Metallurgical Fire The new album is good too, but I prefer the raw intensity of The Future as Nightmare. Terrific band. Favorite track: Lips of Wisdom.

Bret How do I let albums like this sit in my wishlist for so long? Glad I finally pulled the trigger.

YomaBarr I'll be damned backwards, where was this band all my life? This is gold!

The guy behind this must have been born with a guitar pick in one hand and drumsticks in another. Plus the emotional impact of this.
Bret, if it's your wishlist I found it in, I owe you!

Söngvar elds og óreiðu

supported by 57 fans who also own “The Future as Nightmare”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 51 fans who also own “The Future as Nightmare”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Guitars sound like flaming lava, riffs melting into one another while moving slowly across everything and destroying everything - the plaintive and bruised cries for help over it all add a weight that sinks you beneath the earth. The sound is as clear as the soul is dark. Jono Schneider
