Chicago's " Cult Of Daath" is a mid-paced old school black metal trip through blasphemy and depravity. You can hear the band's influences throughout mostly in the vein of Dark Throne- but these guys can create memorable riffs and catchy lyrics that make the whole trip worth taking. It will very hard to find something to fault on this release and has the capacity for repeated listens. Check it out

The state of Kentucky manages to release some great metal from artists like Panopticon, Seidr, to this atmospheric and ominous gem from multi- instrumentalist Patrick T. Hall. Sapthuran has shared splits with many DSBM artists like SAD and Leviathan- but to say this is DSBM really doesn't cut it. This is more Burzum than Xasthur and the man truly deserves recognition for another great addition to USBM. The Wanderer is told in two parts from spectres to werewolves with low-fi minimalist production which helps create its evil "aura". Forever a Wandering Spirit " is the highlight - check it out
