Recenzja Hexis "Aeternum"

 Hexis

"Aeternum"

Debemur Morti 2022

Na początek kilka podstawowych informacji i ciekawostek. Hexis powstał w 2010 roku w Kopenhadze, ma w dorobku dwie duże płyty i całkiem pokaźną kolekcję splitów i EP-ek. Ponadto zagrali ponoć już ponad osiemset koncertów na całym świecie, często organizowanych metodą DIY, co doprowadziło ich nie tyle na wielkie stadiony, co do małych miasteczek i wiosek. I to mnie zaintrygowało. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Ampire”

Kurwa, jak ja uwielbiam takie masywne, miażdżące mielenie, jakie serwuje na swym drugim krążku niemiecki BongBongBeerWizards. I choć nazwa zespołu jest wg mnie wyjątkowo kretyńska, to jednak muza, jaką serwuje nam to trio z Dortmundu jest zaprawdę wyborna. (Czytaj dalej...)

 TOUGHNESS

„The Prophetic Dawn”

Godz Ov War (2022)

Przed kilkoma lat na polskim rynku pojawiła się jedyna jak dotąd płyta puławsko-lubelskiego Conveyor, gdzieś trzech młodych gości, stanęło w szranki z nieco bardziej abstrakcyjną wizją metalu śmierci. Płyta została dostrzeżona przez nielicznych niestety, a szkoda, bo „An Incarnated Abstraction” choć dość dalekie od ochów i achów było materiałem co najmniej obiecującym. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Awakening Of The Storms”

Inferna Profundus Records 2022

No i mamy kolejny split wydany w lipcu tego roku przez litewską Inferna Profundus. Jak to przeważnie bywa zawiera on materiał dwóch kapel. Pierwszą jest wszystkim dobrze znany z przeszłości i teraźniejszości nasz rodzimy Graveland. Dla tych, którzy słyszeli nie tylko ostatnią płytę Rob’a, nie będzie zaskoczeniem, że najnowsze cztery kawałki tutaj umieszczone, to kontynuacja twórczości tego pana. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy singiel Slaughter the Giant

 

SLAUGHTER THE GIANT PRESENTS THEIR NEW SINGLE “CO-ED BUTCHER”!

“Depravity” is the killer debut by Belgium’s best kept secret: Slaughter the Giant. Intense melodic Death Metal for those who slaughter the soul! Out on 28 October on CD/LP/Digital. Listen to the first single “Co-ed Butcher” here:

Pre-save the album here: https://lnk.to/slaughterthegiant

Slaughter The Giant ready to release their debut album “Depravity” in October 2022. A melodic intense Death Metal attack not hear before from Belgian soil.

Slaughter The Giant was formed in 2018 and released their 5-track debut EP “Asylum of the Damned” in 2019 and it received good reviews worldwide. The year 2022 marks a new post-Covid start with the release of their first full-length album entitled “Depravity”, on Hammerheart Records. Slaughter the Giant performs intense melodic Death Metal that will appeal to fans of The Black Dahlia Murder and At The Gates. Hammerheart Records heard the album and was convinced of its quality and a deal was made.

“Depravity” is a giant leap when compared to their EP, and acts on a whole different level. The brutality and melodic side have been pushed to new boundaries, while not losing the “good song” idea as a first must. The influences are still heard, but are now just that; influences.

Adaestuo to w sumie w chuj tajemniczy i nieprzewidywalny twór. Nie mówię tu o personaliach, tylko... Siedzą gdzieś tam w tej swojej norze, jak jebną nowym wydawnictwem, to jakoś tak kompletnie bez zapowiedzi, z partyzanta. A jak już jebną, to i tak człowiek nie wie, czego się spodziewać.

Video od LUCID GRAVE

 

Watch Dark Psych Conjurers Lucid Grave’s Sparkling Video for “Old Spirit”

Dark heavy psych/doom group Lucid Grave has unleashed the “Old Spirit” music video, made by Dóri Halldórsson and Amanda Jensen. “Old Spirit” serves as the second song from the Copenhagen quintet’s debut album, Cosmic Mountain, which came out on 15 July via Electric Valley Records digitally and on four versions of vinyl (Test Press, Solid Yellow, Transparent Red Splatter Black Vinyl, Ultra LTD “Cosmic Edition”).

Lucid Grave Informs:

“‘Old Spirit’ is a heavy psych rock song with influence from the early ’80s punk. The song is about a fast spacy universe in-between two worlds. The song is inspired by the lead singer’s days in the high desert in California. The desert heat is hard on everything and everyone. And the wind still tells stories of the Native Americans, the legends of desert rock, and the military base in the unforgiven sun.”

Danish webzine Devilution hosted the premiere of the video AT THIS LOCATION.

Pierwsze co pomyślałem znajdując w skrzynce odbiorczej promo debiutanckiego materiału Hellfuck, to to, że okładka tego materiału idealnie nadawałaby się na dziarę. Zwłaszcza na plecy.

Nowy FIRTAN pod koniec września

 

Today, AOP Records announces September 30th as the international release date for Firtan's highly anticipated third album, Marter, on CD and vinyl LP formats. To coincide with the announcement, a brand-new video for the first single "Amor Fati" is revealed HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel.

Since their fortuitous formation in 2010, Firtan have been dedicated to a unique strain of extreme metal and have steadily built an enraptured audience across countless shows in their native Germany and abroad. Granted, the band's roots lay in black metal, particularly those pivotal days of the 1990s, but over the course of two acclaimed albums - 2014's Niedergang and especially 2018's Okeanos - Firtan have effortlessly integrated an eclecticism that has become more self-contained and increasingly kaleidoscopic. Now, they arguably deliver their masterwork: Marter.

Fittingly, the theme of Marter deals with the isolation of the modern individual who finds himself torn between spiritual hope and existential failure - and Firtan vividly paint this panorama in their most dazzling hues yet. And just like its massive predecessor, Marter was recorded at the esteemed studio Klangschmiede E with Markus Stock of The Vision Bleak/Empyrium. Completed by grandiose cover art courtesy of Władysław Podkowiński, Marter is a milestone of the dynamic German black metal scene - and Firtan have arrived as reigning kings.

Herald that arrival with the brand-new video "Amor Fati" HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:

Nowy album CRUZ za dwa miesiące

 

Today, Nuclear Winter Records announces September 26th as the international release date for Cruz's highly anticipated second album, Confines de la Cordura, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Cruz was formed in Barcelona in 2012 with the idea of starting a band that mixed heavy and aggressive punk with dark old-school metal such as Celtic Frost and Bathory. However, from very early on, their sound became more aligned with the classic Swedish death metal style.

In 2013, the first Cruz lineup was completed, and with that lineup, a self-titled demo was recorded that same year and then released in 2015 by Raw War Tapes. In 2015, now with a different lineup, Cruz entered Moontower Studios and recorded their first album, Culto Abismal, which was released a year later by To The Death Records, Sentient Ruin Laboratories, and Selfmadegod Records. A European tour followed right after the album's release.

The dark-horse death metal album of the year? Nuclear Winter confidently places its bets on Cruz's Confines de la Cordura.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Als Peus de la Creu" HERE at Nuclear Winter's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Cruz's Confines de la Cordura

Eradicate to nowe znalezisko kierownictwa Godz ov War. Pochodzą z Turcji i mają dupę na basie, całkiem niezłą przyznać trzeba. Natomaist "Demise Towards the Dasein" to ich debiutanckie demo.

Twórca ten poświęcił podobno cały rok 2000 na nagranie swego debiutanckiego albumu i przelał na niego wszelakie swe nihilistyczne wizje oraz depresyjne stany beznadziejności  i bólu istnienia, jakie w owym czasie targały jego duszą. (Czytaj dalej...)

Debiutancka EP-ka SARCOPHAGUM za dwa miesiące

 

Today, Nuclear Winter Records announces September 12th as the international release date for Sarcophagum's striking debut EP, Conduits to the Underworld, on CD and cassette tape formats.

Sarcophagum spawned to life in the early half of 2021, during the time of the plague, as a side-project of Golgothan Remains members past and present. Their purpose? To provide a channel to explore new ideas and sounds in a studio-only setting. The dark death metal realm remains their primary influence, and the forthcoming debut EP, Conduits to the Underworld, is just the first taste of further impending death to come.

And what a taste it is: malevolent, martial, mesmerizing. Truly, this is twisted 'n' terrorizing death metal seemingly sent from a sepulchral cosmos, both impossibly massive in suffocating scope whilst eerily atmospheric, almost airy in its serpentine swirl. As such, Sarcophagum sound familiar and foreign simultaneously; death metal is undoubtedly the template, but the pieces binding it together are of a strange (and scourging) material. Each of the record's three tracks emit epic sensations and yet almost race by with a palpitating swiftness, creating an engaging headfuck - Conduits to the Underworld, indeed!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Pits of Hate" HERE at Nuclear Winter's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Sarcophagum's Conduits to the Underworld

Nowy album MEDIEVAL DEMON we wrześniu

 

Today, Hells Headbangers announces September 16th as the international release date for Medieval Demon's highly anticipated fourth album, Black Coven, on CD format. The vinyl LP version will follow later this year.

By now, Medieval Demon should require little introduction. Formed in that fateful year of 1993, Medieval Demon remained one of the cultest entities of the immortal Greek black metal scene, releasing a handful of demos during the mid '90s and then their lost-classic debut album, Demonolatria, in 1998. Not long after, the band receded into the shadows, in vampiric slumber, until awakening from the crypt in 2018 with the majestic comeback album, Medieval Necromancy, through longtime fans Hells Headbangers, followed two years later by the equally acclaimed Arcadian Witchcraft.

Continuing that enviable momentum compared to most "old" bands who tiredly rehash long-faded glories, Medieval Demon light another new full-length torch with Black Coven. Just as its esteemed predecessors sounded like those glorious '90s never ended, so, too, does Black Coven burn with an authentically eldritch fire by those who truly LIVED IT. Much as canonical Hellenic black metal always prized heavy metal classicism at the heart of black METAL, Medieval Demon once again synthesize such with equally-classic horror and high drama, making Black Coven arguably their most widescreen record yet. The production, in kind, gives robust crunch to that heavy metalized songwriting, along with highlighting the band's always-captivating synth work. Indeed, the album sounds EXACTLY as it should for something titled Black Coven: the ancient spirits are legion, and unbound!

Specifically, opening track "Where Witches Dwell and Labyrinths Confuse" was written as tribute to the deceased Andrea Meyer of Norway's cult Aghast. Likewise, the unabashed use of saxophone was in tribute to founding Greek forebears Necromantia, who entered the crypt of time eternal last year. And of course, the influence of Italian gods Goblin is never far away from Medieval Demon, even if that influence is more spiritual rather than literal. Any way you cut it (and try not getting mesmerized by the choirs here!), Black Coven is cinematic black art at its very finest. Last word, then, to Lord Apollyon: DEATH TO THOSE WHO BETRAY THE SECRET CULT!"

In the meantime, hear the previously revealed title track "Black Coven" HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
