Kissing the Crown of Thorns - “The Holy Battle Chants”
As far as I know, this Jordanian band is the only one of its kind in their country. The vocalist is particularly good.

Blood Covenant - Xachi Mot (At The Cross (instrumental)).
Blood Covenant is Armenia’s first black metal band (of any stripe: symphonic, raw, NS, etc) to release an album, and they just so happen to actually be unblack.
Wintersoul - Thorns of Winter
This is some brutal shit. The drummer is most likely a robot. Sick sick drumming, just the way I love it. I wonder what would happen if Fleshgod Apocalypse’s drummer and this guy had a drum battle. Most likely smoking crater and radiation would be left behind of that awesome clash.
Good to see more Wintersoul on Tumblr.

Wintersoul, “Dawn of the Ice Hearts”
Frozen Storm Apocalypse, 2010
This was interesting to watch, actually. Their reactions evince two important viewpoints: (1) their understanding of what black metal means, and (2) how Christianity is understood in popular metal consciousness. I think for people who are actually interested in Christian Black/Unblack metal, like am, it’s worthwhile to think about these things.

Elgibbor, “The Seventy Sevens”
War, 2009
