This two man black metal project out of Austria has been a model of consistency during their tenure together. Their last album, Arson, made the list back in 2018 and now it’s follow-up, Maere, has gained that distinction as well. These guys are very good at creating melancholic atmospheric soundscapes. This is a good album for rainy (or snowy, depending on where you live) winter days when you just need something to pull you under its spell.
