Not only brave but also utterly meticulous in its vision of how the Melodic Blackened Death Metal might sound like nowadays. ‘Melas Oneiros’ is a tremendous, collosal album full of catchy, hook-laden riffs, epic slow-downs and haunting melodies all immersed in a dark, somber but beautiful atmosphere. It is the perfect blend of Black, Death and Heavy Metal.

In suburban basements
doomed to weave eternally in the dark
punished for setting ourselves as equals of the gods
We, the proud Children of Arachne
We won’t plead for absolution
Never again shall we bow down nor beg
so confront our rage
Bellum omnium contra omnes
Doomed to weave eternally
Suspended in the dark we wait
We, the descendants of the punished one, will rise!
We will rise!
Ages of humiliation are gone
Time to take over the throne
The King is dead, long live the King!
The New Era begins
In suburban basements
doomed to weave eternally in the dark
punished for setting ourselves as equals of the gods
We, the proud Children of Arachne
We won’t plead for absolution
Never again shall we bow down nor beg
so confront our rage
Watch mighty gods being strangled in our web

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic.
This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10 Ricardo Cristof

"Ce n'est pas le voyage qui compte mais la destination" est une locution proverbiale qu'on entend de la bouche de tous les nomades : ce n'est pas la pochette de Beyond The Palest Star qui le démentira puisqu'Adam Burke reprend la technique du point de fuite, dirigeant notre regard non pas vers une station spatiale mais vers un trou noir — situé sur la gauche. Vorga confirme ce chemin de pensée dans son deuxième album avec un death metal cosmique sinistre, infusé d'énergie doomesque. Colossal ! Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)

After seeing UADA live at the 2024 Baden in Blut metal festival, I needed to complete the full discog and add this to my BC collection. The guitar work in UADA is absolutely fantastic, and the last two albums break a bit the ties to the old wave of Swedish BM, still melodic, but a unique UADA trademark now. sashavonkarl74
Backened shoegaze squalls, cinematic J-rock choruses, and tortured, atmospheric breakdowns from these whipsmart Tokyo wreckers. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2025

Here's to some more cosmic metal, the Karlsruhe based outfit offers crude yet extremely well produced sound in this earlier effort.
Featuring mid-tempo cadences, occasional blast beating, high pitched shrieking essentially, the riffing has this mildly meaty, sensational over-atmospheric tilt that's always well received on my part.
The perspective of getting sucked into a wormhole had never felt better I kid you not.
Emperor and Inherits the Void in mind, you just can't skip this one. doive
