Compilation of the Year 2021
- Rock and Metal Temple

"Snow Wolf records, an indie label based in Kentucky, USA, proudly present a black metal compilation that’s ambitious in scope, featuring 16 bands from 14 countries across six continents. The hissing fury of OF TWO LANDS makes for an early statement of intent – one of two Egyptian representations alongside the buzzsaw blasphemy of LYCOPOLIS. The sonic and cultural diversity across the album is impressive. Hailing from Iran, AKVAN’s genuinely haunting atmospheres complement the secondwave striation of Malaysia’s GESTORVEN. Chile’s FUNERAL sound like weaponised hornets, the opposite of Colombians MELABSTRA’s symphonic melodrama. Greece’s ODYRMOS reach for the stars with their dungeon synth, and India’s SOUNDS OF EMPTINESS provide repose with minimalist funereal synth before Ukraine’s HAISSEM deliver a muscular final blow. This Wretched Earth unifies the human diaspora with the one thing we all have in common: suffering. A far cry from polished modern black metal, this is a bold and ambitious testament to the fertility of the underground in 2021." 8/10
- Metal Hammer UK

"As big as this comp is, if you’re any kind of fan of black metal you won’t want to leave the train at any station. I don’t know how the bands and the songs were selected but I’m mind-blown at how good the entire ride is. With a 16-track path, there’s usually a good chance you’ll have a pit-fall at some point, but not here.
There’s only a “preview track” available for listening at this point — but it’s a fantastic medley of extracts from these songs. You’ll get a good sense from it of just how wonderful all the twists and turns are."
- No Clean Singing

"A compilation album to lend an ear to if you have an interest in discovering new bands exploring the different parts of the black metal realm, and have a wide taste for the many variations that can be found in the genre."
- Viking in the Wilderness (Norway)

“Snow Wolf deserve special recognition for creating a huge offering of Black metal that is diverse and passionate. Its epic at a huge 16 tracks with great care taken in the band and song selection. Raw, primal, and ritualistic, from the primitive to the atmospheric This Wretched Earth is a compilation worthy of your immediate attention.”
8.5/10
- The Coroner’s Report (New Zealand)

"So many of the bands featured on this compilation offered up some epic, blistering and blasphemous sounding tracks, and in the end all of them are worth checking out. Huge respect for Snow Wolf Records for putting this compilation together, and for bring together the global extreme metal community. We may come from different places, but all across the planet there are fiendish extreme metal fans and artists who share the same passion for this music and no matter what is going on in the world, we are united as one global extreme metal community!"
- Rock and Metal Temple

"This is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of black metal."
- Occult Black Metal Zine
