>Australian metal band Black Magick SS became more famous for their Nazi imagery than for their sound. After a series of EPs (Symbols Of Great Power, 2012; Panzerwitch, 2013; Hidden In Plain Sight, 2015), the album The Black Abyss (2015) collected early lo-fi material, mostly released on cassettes.
>The 27-minute mini-album Kaleidoscope Dreams (Infinite Wisdom, 2017) opened their major phase presenting a style that liberally mixes black metal, hard rock of the 1970s and psychedelia of the 1960s, notably in Kaleidoscope Dreams, with its epic teutonic-influenced aria, and in the soaring hymn Eclipse.
>Spectral Ecstasy (Infinite Wisdom, 2018) leans towards occult atmospheres, particularly in My Love, but it mostly sounds amateurish.
>Rainbow Nights (Infinite Wisdom, 2020) boasts more interesting vocal harmonies, bordering on Jefferson Airplane-esque, while painting organ-driven gothic atmospheres. The anthemic Iron Maiden-esque Endless Hallucinations leads to the frenzied prog-metal melodrama of Rainbow Nights. Get Out flirts again with electronic dance music, displaying the influence of the Sisters Of Mercy. Kali is demonic doom-metal via coarse AC/DC-esque riffs, and their best stab at mainstream rock. Even this, their best album, suffers from too much amateurish filler.
>Burning Bridges (Creep Purple, 2023) grafts derivative prog-pop melodies onto antiquated hard-rock bodies, notably in Dinosaurs, but the effect is often comic. Let Go even winks at the steady beat of disco-music. The guitar solos are derivative of pop-metal. Let The Magick In is the worst prog-metal nightmare.
