The creation of Obscurium Webzine was born from a simple desire: to give more visibility to extreme metal bands and share this passion with the widest audience possible.
The subjectivity of extreme music
Giving a rating reduces an album to a mere number, while the Black Metal experience is above all emotional, atmospheric, and personal.
A quality filter
We only review albums that speak to us and fit the spirit of Obscurium Webzine. The very fact that a work appears on our pages already signifies that it has captured our attention and deserves to be highlighted.
Respect for the artists
Assigning a number can give the impression of a cold or commercial judgment. By focusing on text and analysis, we show greater respect for the artistic process and the universe of the bands.
A clear editorial choice
Obscurium Webzine stands apart from other media by refusing the system of ratings and rankings. We prioritize discovery, personal experience, and immersion in the music, rather than reducing it to a numerical scale.
- We publish reviews dedicated to black metal and its various subgenres, with the mission of supporting and promoting the bands within the scene.
- Interviews with artists from the scene, whether seasoned underground veterans or emerging new voices
- Shedding light on new bands to help readers and listeners discover them
- Podcasts to introduce new bands
Obscurium Webzine opens a passage into the depths of the extreme – The Sound of Shadow, the Spirit of Chaos.
