Terminus Episode 10 - Black Funeral, Kult Ofenzivy, Carnal Misanthropy, Laetitia in Holocaust

This week we bring you an all-BM special with new releases from four vital regional scenes, each with its own variant of the mainline black metal tradition: 90s USA, Czechia / Slovakia, Greece, and Italy. Black Funeral (US) gets us talking about "cool wizard music," and that concept keeps coming up with Kult Ofenzivy (CZ) and Laetitia in Holocaust (ITL), too. Carnal Misanthropy, on the other hand, are the barbarian warriors of the bunch, brandishing Atlantean swords upon the flesh-heap of the slain. All these bands have distinctive, even slightly "weird" songwriting styles, working far beyond the major trends in nowadays BM. If you're a bit tired of Sargeist or Mgla riffing, you'll appreciate this. And in a first for the show, it turns out we both love every one of these records. So we get really stoked -- hopefully you do, too.

CORRECTION: "Laetitia" is Latin, not modern Italian, and is the proper name of the *goddess* of happiness, as well as a name for the concept itself.
