Astral Fortress - Seven Seraphs

Atmospheric Black Metal from, Inman, South Carolina, U.S.

Astral Fortress was formed on June 22, 2023 by 18 year old virtuoso Richard DeBerry. Named after the 2022 Darkthrone release, Astral Fortress originally formed as an instrumental project with heavy influence from Black Metal giants Emperor and Burzum, focusing on heavy use of synths and atmospheric elements, but soon took a more depressive sound that is more influenced by DSBM and Doom Metal bands like Xasthur and Bell Witch. Overtime, Astral Fortress released numerous albums within a span of only a year, experimenting with different genres and styles. From black metal to dark ambient, Astral Fortress is an atmospheric powerhouse! This album implements a lot of gothic elements, creating a cold and melancholic atmosphere similar to bands such as NONE and ColdWorld. Lots of cool riffs, leads, and synths!! Astral Fortress takes a whole new approach towards atmospheric black metal with this release, going above and beyond Astral Fortress' early work.

"Xenomorph", by 13 Candles, gothic rock and gothic metal band 13 Candles from Thrapston, UK, off of their 1995 album Come Out of the Dark.

Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/7kkMqomh59Kcpakd61wp0X?si=d3475544663f44f5

Their official Facebook page (their only account on social media): https://www.facebook.com/13candlesofficial

The whole album is pretty good, plenty of good songs. Xenomorph being my favorite, there's also Disbelievers and The Altar that are really good. 8/12 songs added to my main playlist. Funny that I'd never heard about them before, even during my gothic metal phase in 2022. This album was definitely goth rock though. Gonna be listening to their "Angels of Mourning Silence" next, which is supposedly more metal we'll see.

Sadly, as far as I could find out through Google, they haven't released new music since their "Killing for Culture" EP from the year 2000. But they do have a Facebook page, their latest post being in 2022, stating "you never know you all may get a new song or 2 seeing as 2022 will the 30th anniversary of the birth of 13 candles." Will we ever get those new songs? Who knows…

Pëtr

So Peter travels alone in the wide world, protecting people from the strength of a cruel enemy. On his gigantic chest he wears a cross. And under a chain mail shirt he keeps a scarf embroidered by his mother. And it seems that the titan is sad which is why his head is heavy and his figure is downcast. But in the open field Petr Rataj stands up to his full height, clearly looks with his green eyes to the horizon, and longing leaves his body at the sight of the endless forest and the high sky.

when I listen to gothic or black metal I feel like I’m one of the Nazgûl from LOTR

[chris-mash]

Title: The Luxury of Love Genre: Gothic Metal / Symphonic Metal Mood: Dark, emotional, dramatic, melancholic Vocals: Female lead (alto or mezzo), haunting and expressive, similar to Amy Lee (Evanescence) or Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) Instruments: Heavy guitars, atmospheric synths, orchestral elements (strings/choir), deep drums, minor key .................. Caption "She walks the line between longing and ruin. A soul too fragile for love, yet still aching for it. Gothic metal meets heartbreak in a world of shadows and fire." .................... Lirycs

[Verse 1] Love’s a price I cannot pay, Wounds too deep, they never fade. Peace of mind—forever gone, I stand alone, where I belong…

[Chorus] Yet something stirs beneath my skin, A ghost that dares to feel again. With eyes like fire and hands that ache, I seek a heart I know will break…

[Verse 2] No logic holds this hunger back, I walk the edge, dressed all in black. With a soul that's sold too many times, I chase a dream that’s not even mine.

[Bridge] I'm burning—yes, I know it’s wrong, But silence cuts where flames belong. Love’s a luxury I can’t afford, But still—I’m crawling to your door…

[Final Chorus] Can’t buy grace, can’t fake control, Still I offer you my soul. I fall for ruin, sweet and rough— Because I never learned enough’s enough…
