Waldgefluster - Knochengesange 2 [COMPACT DISCS] date 12/12/2025

It's rare that a debut album inspires such fervent anticipation, but the thrill surrounding a full-length from Sicksense is concrete. On Cross Me Twice, the band take their nü-metal influences and Frankenstein them into a hydra monster that sees the heads of metalcore, progressive metal and power metal combine into a modern experiment gone very right. The album is all a nü-metal fan could hope for while bringing new color to the genre.

There's nowhere like Germany in winter time. The forests, the castles, the markets and the gluhwein all offer solace for the wandering winter soul. Let's take a trip to Bavaria then as Müncheners Waldgeflüster return with eight new folk-drenched black metal eyries to melt the coldest of hearts. The entire album is perfectly pitched to fuel those crystalline winter, woodland walks with it's immensely infectious melodies and haunting refrains. Averaging an album every couple of years or so since their 2009 album, Mondscheinsonaten (InchMoonlight SonatasInch) builds strongly on the band's heathen foundations, melding clean and harsh vocals seamlessly and integrating folk instrumentation sparsely enough to augment, but never over-embellish the exceptional blackened metal grounding. It's time to dig out the walking boots, grab a compass and a good pair of headphones and head out to experience a little slice of wilderness before it is gone forever. Let Waldgeflüster be your guides.
