In my opinion, Dimhymn is one of those rare, truly underrated bands. Nattdal managed to create a pretty unique sound that sadly vanished with his death.
Everything Dimhymn released sounds to me like this emotional cocktail of desperation, hatred, dirt, aggression and darkness.
I personally think—and I know I’m stepping into a hornet’s nest here—that ever since I discovered Dimhymn, I’ve considered them a much better and more consistent black metal band than Watain. Don’t get me wrong, I love Rabid Death’s Curse and everything before it, but IMO, since Casus Luciferi, Watain sadly became more and more the Dimmu Borgir of Swedish “underground” black metal.
And let’s be honest: how many patches, shirts and limited-edition box sets can you release without “secretly” transforming into a mainstream act, while still desperately trying to maintain your underground true-kult image...?

Hellfucked is what you could call an old all-star project featuring some pretty big names from the German underground black metal scene. The members are from bands like Luror, Anti, Absurd, Darkestrah, Eternity, Lugubre, Grand Belial’s Key, Cryogenic, etc.
To me, it always seemed like the members used this band as a vent for their most primitive, raw and filthy black metal urges.
It is black metal for sure, but it’s also pretty weird.
While you can clearly make out the riffs and sounds of Luror, Absurd, Eternity and the other bands, the lyrics are mostly just disgusting, brutal and hilarious. I personally love all their releases, and especially this one.
“Bitchkill” is an instant classic: "verdammte Fotze hör auf zu stinken!" (“Fucking cunt, stop fucking stinking!”)
The last song, “Fick deine verfickte Fickpisse selber, du Arschloch” (“Fuck your fucking piss yourself, you asshole”), is about 15 minutes of the totally drunk and wasted members of Hellfucked coming up with the most ridiculous and hilarious German insults and swear words imaginable—and not being afraid to deliver them in the most direct way possible.

Necromanzee Cogent - 2003
The first and best album by German one-man band Leichenzug. The title track is kind of a ballad.
Bought this precious gem back in 1998 at Dynamo Open Air in Eindhoven.
From their debut Album YGG - 2011
IMO, one of the best atmospheric black metal albums ever.
And this song—it just rips!
