  2026/10 Listening Log

  Beanis

  Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

  This is apparently a solo-project from the incredibly talented Serena Cherry from the band Svalbard, and it is very, very impressive.

  The album is intricate, sweeping and hauntingly beautiful. At the same time, it does not lose its black metal edge in any way. Serena’s vocals especially are the perfect kind of raw, shouting, tormented singing that this genre needs.

  The production is clear and crisp too, which I appreciate for a black metal album. Not much to complain about here.

  Tier: B+
  (Better than average, and then some)
