Recenzja Wells Valley „Achamoth”

 Wells Valley

„Achamoth”

Lavadome Prod. 2023

Trochę mnie zaskoczył czeski Lavadome Productions. Label ten kojarzy się raczej z czystym death lub black metalem, a ci tu mi nagle wyskakują z takim kwiatkiem jak Wells Valley. Zespół pochodzi z Portugalii, a „Achamoth” to ich trzecia płyta w dorobku. O ile death metalu na niej nie znajdziemy, to black metal już szybciej, ale taki bardziej z naklejką „post” niż prostą surowiznę. (Czytaj dalej...)

„White Hart!”

Debemur Morti Productions 2023

Powołany do życia w 2005 roku przez irlandzkiego multiinstrumentalistę Joseph’a Deegan’a Slidhr, niebawem, bo trzynastego października, ponownie ukaże się światu. Zawierać będzie osiem numerów, tego do czego ten tercet zdążył już nas przyzwyczaić, czyli intensywnego black / death metalu. Przez około trzy kwadranse potencjalny odbiorca „White Hart” będzie atakowany za pomocą gęstych riffów, które płyną tu w trochę szybszych niż średnie tempach. (Czytaj dalej...)

 WÉKERAS

„Pochwała Cienia” (Demo)

NigredoProductions 2023

Wékeras to stosunkowo młody projekt, który występuje pod Szwedzką banderą, choć gdy się bliżej przyjrzymy, okaże się, że to raczej międzynarodowy ansambl, gdyż tworzą go opętane jednostki z Polski, Francji i Niemiec. Pomiot ten sceniczny staż ma niewielki (powołano go bowiem do życia w zeszłym roku), jednak jego muzycy do nieopierzonych leszczy bynajmniej nie należą, wszak doświadczenia swe zbierali choćby w Circle of Chaos, Expulsed Angel, Carbonizer, Putrescine, Envenom, The Satan’sScourge, DevouredChrist, czy Draugmaz. (Czytaj dalej...)

SCHEITAN z nowym kawałkiem

 

Scheitan premieres new gothic rock track “Fire at Dawn”

Lyric video to “Fire at Dawn” premiered via Side-Line Magazine today!

Stream the new single now via all digital platforms

Scheitan returns following 24-year hiatus

”Fire at Dawn” is the second single from the upcoming Scheitan album “Songs for the Gothic People” which will be released in Spring 2024 by Greek independent label The Circle Music. After a 24-year hiatus, Scheitan returns with new music digging further into the gothic vibe that was present on their 1999 album ”Nemesis”, released by Century Media Records.

The lyric video to “Fire at Dawn” was premiered today via Side-Line Magazine. Watch it here: https://www.side-line.com/swedish-dark-gothic-rock-act-scheitan-returns-after-24-years-and-premieres-new-lyric-video-fire-at-dawn-on-side-line/

“Fire at Dawn” is also now available on all digital platforms: https://linktr.ee/scheitan

Scheitan was formed in 1996 by Pierre Törnkvist (guitar/bass/vocals) together with Oscar Karlsson (drums). The duo started out as a black metal band but transformed during the musical journey into the fields of gothic/ambient rock. Both members had previous musical experience mainly from death & black metal such as The Moaning, Defleshed, The Everdawn and Gates of Ishtar to name a few and became to establish themselves as respected musicians in the 90s underground scene.

Scheitan released its first album Travelling in Ancient Times on Invasion Records in 1996. The album was an 8-track blast of intense black metal except for the last track Portals of Might which was a first indication of Scheitan wanting to explore other musical realms. The second album Berzerk 2000, also released on Invasion Records in 1998 was an album that was divided to say the least. The first 4 tracks showing a gothic/ambient Scheitan while the last 3 saw Scheitan bid a final farewell to its black metal roots. The first 4 tracks of Berzerk 2000 saw a digital re-release in 2021 as the Deathgoth EP.

Century Media signed the band after the contract with Invasion was finished and in 1999 the band recorded and released Nemesis. The musical style was now completely devoted to the gothic/ambient/dark domain except for the vocals of Pierre Törnkvist who were still kept in the harsh style that was present on earlier albums. The Nemesis album has in later days been hailed as a hidden gem and predecessor to many bands today with a similar style.

When it was time to write new Scheitan material after Nemesis both Pierre and Oscar felt that it did not fit into the project and therefore Helltrain was started, which is a completely different story.

Scheitan went on a 24-year hiatus but was brought back to life in 2023 with the single "Lost In Time", a gothic rock masterpiece in the veins of Sisters of Mercy, Fields of The Nephilim and The 69 Eyes. A few weeks prior to the release of the single “Lost in Time” Scheitan signed to Greek label The Circle Music and is set to release a full-length album in 2024.

Tytułowy numer z nowej płyty IGNITED

 

Stockholm-based heavy metal band IGNITED has posted the video for "Cradle of the Wicked," the title track and third single from their upcoming new album.

Watch the video for "Cradle of the Wicked" at youtu.be/MVTd4q66O08

Stream the song at found.ee/cradle-of-the-wicked-single

Guitarist Dalton Castro details the concept behind "Cradle of the Wicked."

"This song delves into the human capacity to embrace their worst selves online, in a space where digital impulses and anonymity are intertwined, revealing the darkest facets of human behavior in today's world. Like distorting history and facts, fostering a culture of general denial, and utilizing humiliation as a tool for self-empowerment, particularly against those who share genuine knowledge. The title serves as an inspiration for individuals with such behavior, who appear to be multiplying every day, becoming increasingly psychologically violent and beastly just for their own pleasure."

Season of Mist Underground Activists 2023

 

Myślę, że każdemu, oddanemumaniakowi Black Metalowego szaleństwa takie nazwy jak Drudkh, Austere, Woods of Desolaion, Hate Forest, Precambrian, Ill Omen, czy Nazxul mówią bardzo wiele, a przynajmniej powinny. Pierwszy, duży album Unfelled, który teraz mam na tapecie, skierowany jest właśnie do tych, do których te nazwy gadają (no może nie tyle nazwy, ile muzyka tworzona przez te hordy), co specjalnie dziwić nie powinno, wszak ten międzynarodowy ansambl tworzą właśnie persony bezpośrednio z nimi związane i udzielające im swoich talentów. (Czytaj dalej...)

Drugi album TODOMAL w listopadzie

 

Spanish dark metal entity TODOMAL will release their brooding sophomore full-length album, "A Greater Good", on November 24th 2023 via Ardua Music, today unveiling the record's cover art, tracklist and first video teaser. Watch it HERE.

TODOMAL is back with "A Greater Good", their new studio album. The Spanish duo, formed by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández (Asgaroth, Nexus 6, The Heretic, Dejadeath, etc.) brings a collection of "dark songs" (as they like to define it), which began with the seeds planted in "Ultracrepidarian", their debut album.

The band's music has evolved into a complex, dense, and unclassifiable album that takes us on a journey through somber landscapes, existential doubts, tragicomedy, and spiritual and personal unrest. "A Greater Good" poses challenging questions, wrapped in music that is sometimes dark and at other times luminous, spanning from slow-tempo to progressive rock to quasi-mystical litanies. The path they embarked upon with their debut album, leading to desolate landscapes and the emptiness of the plateau, has continued into darker territories, reminiscent of tenebrist altarpieces, where doubts about what is right or wrong, what we do in this world to earn redemption, or why we have a nefarious tendency to destroy what we love are depicted against a smoldering forest. The journey continues, despite the obstacles.

"A Greater Good" boasts ambitious production to accommodate all its elements, like pieces of a giant mosaic. Vocal harmonies, acoustic elements, and occasional orchestral arrangements blend with serpentine opera-rock pieces, making their way by clawing through the earth.

Once again, the voice of Teodora Gosheva, the collaboration of Darío Garrido on the Spanish guitar and the audio assistance of ESOTERIC's Greg Chandler complete the work.

Special mention goes to the album cover, created by the multifaceted Paloma Pájaro, who brilliantly and resolutely encapsulates everything mentioned above.

The sophomore album of this prolific space doom duo will no doubt appeal to fans of bands like CANDLEMASS, KRUX, PINK FLOYD, AVATARIUM and, we dare to say, old GHOST! Doom on!

Tracklist:

1. Silent Mass

2. High Time

3. Infero Tristi

4. Ultima Lucerna

5. Dust and Nothingness

6. Antichrist of Love

7. Loss

8. A Greater Good

EP-ka SUMMONING DEATH za miesiąc

 

Today, Chaos Records announces October 28th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Summoning Death, A Traumatic Night of the Creeps, on CD and cassette tape formats.

Hailing from the always fertile Mexican death metal scene, Summoning Death began as a parallel project by Ricardo Gil (ex-Denial) and Francisco Aguilar (Shub Nigurath) in early 2010 with the idea of playing death-doom metal in the classic Swedish and Finnish veins. For a time, Ricardo moved to Querétaro, where he tries to rearm the band with Héctor and Iván from Question, but due to commitments of both, the project was buried until 2012 when Ricardo returned to Cancun and continued working with Francisco Aguilar/ After several lineup changes and after having recorded two demos - Cadaveric Environment (2014) and A Window From an Evil Place (2015) - they solidified their lineup as José (guitars), Ángel (drums), Carlos (bass and voice) , Ricardo (guitar), and Melina (live voice).

During 2021 and 2022, Summoning Death remained active on the live front. During this time, they dedicated themselves to recording songs for the compilation Serpeientes del Sur. This participation along with a couple of other songs in which the band were working on are part of their first official EP. Titled A Traumatic Night of The Creeps, the EP focuses themes seen in slasher films of the '80s, and comprises two new tracks - "Night of the Creeps" and "Halloween" - plus two covers: Traumatic's "The Morbid Act of a Sadistic Rape " and Edge of Sanity's "Darkday." A fun-yet-powerful short-length, A Traumatic Night of the Creeps encapsulates where Summoning Death are coming from and also where they're going, for they'll be recording their third album for Chaos Records around the time of this EP's release.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Night of the Creeps" HERE at Chaos Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover artwork, courtesy of Raul Gonzalez Serrano, and tracklisting are as follows:

Nowa płyta DEN SAAKALDTE do odsłuchu

 

Norwegian black metallers DEN SAAKALDTE are streaming their first new album in nine years, "Pesten Som Tar Over", in full. The album releases on September 29th via Agonia Records. Listen to it, here:

DEN SAAKALDTE is the brainchild of guitarist Sykelig, established back in 2006, after Sykelig relocated from Hellas to Norway. The band started as a one man project but soon included in its ranks members such as Kvarforth (Shining), S. Winter (ex-Gehenna), Seidemann (1349) and Øyvind Hægeland to name a few.

Through its years of existence, DEN SAAKALDTE released "Øl, Mørke og Depresjon" (2008), "All Hail Pessimism" (2009) and "Kapittel II: Faen i Helvete" (2014), along with a number of split EPs with notable bands such as Shining, Horna, Varathron and Principality of Hell.

The band's current line up consists of guitarists Sykelig and Fineidet, bassist Skoll (Arcturus, Ved Buens Ende), drummer Tybalt (ex-Pantheon I) and vocalist Svik, and is ready to release its long-awaited new album "Pesten Som Tar Over" on Agonia Records.

"Pesten Som Tar Over" was recorded during March 2022 at Strand Studio (Borknagar, In Vein) in Oslo. The album was co-produced and mixed by DEN SAAKALDTE and Marius Strand, and engineered and mastered by Marius Strand. The cover artwork was painted by Chadwick St. John of Inkshadows (Arckanum, Darkthrone).

Uhritulet to świeżutki jednoosobowy projekt, który do życia powołał fiński multiinstrumentalista o enigmatycznym pseudonimie VP.  Zupełnie nie pierdoląc się w tańcu, od razu jebnął z grubej rury i wydał debiutancki album. Co na nim znalazłem? A wyobraźcie sobie, że oprócz introsa pięć kawałków black metalu w finlandzkim ujęciu.

Debiut AZATHOTH'S DREAM w grudniu

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces December 8th as the international release date for Azathoth's Dream's striking debut album, Nocturnal Vampyric Bewitchment, on vinyl LP format.

Azathoth's Dream are a brand-new entity hailing from the United States. On one hand, the one-man band's sound is undeniably late '90s French vintage, maintaining a similarly necrotic-yet-aristocratic mysticism not unlike Osculum Infame, Bekhira, Winter Funeral, and very early Seth. On the other, one could liken Azathoth's Dream to the uprising of raw vampiric black metal in the U.S., spearheaded by Sanguine Relic, Vampirska, early Lamp of Murmuur, and Geist of Ouachita among others. Either way, one listen to the aptly titled Nocturnal Vampyric Bewitchment and one will be indeed bewitched by the band's melancholic-yet-feral spell...or duly repulsed by it. There's no other way; just like those stratifying days of the 1990s, you either understand this as BLACK METAL - and stand with it - or you stand against it. It matters not to Azathoth's Dream: the empty castle's drawbridge is down, and one need only enter if the spirits are willing.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "A Millennia Perished" HERE at Iron Bonehead's Soundcloud. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Iranian black metal act TRIVAX unveil “Eloah Burns Out”

Listen to the album now via Black Metal Promotion

Purchase the album via Cult Never Dies (UK & ROW store / EU store)

Ahead of its official release this Friday, Eastern Death Magick practitioners TRIVAX have unveiled their upcoming full-length opus, “Eloah Burns Out”, in a full album stream via Black Metal Promotion.

Listen to the album now via Black Metal Promotion: https://youtu.be/ZrVlbXLm0JQ?si=5-d_y2B_INj-_4PE

The band commented: “The final result of a long and hard process, which saw TRIVAX transform, develop and shape into what it is today. This is without a doubt our most sincere and powerful expression yet!

“Eloah Burns Out”, a concept album which tells the story of Death, will be released on 29 September 2023 via UK-based publishing house and record label, Cult Never Dies. The album will be available in CD, 12” LP, cassette and digital formats and can be ordered via the label’s webstore (UK & ROW store / EU store).

Formed by guitarist and vocalist Shayan, Trivax began life in the late 2000s in the perhaps unexpected location of Iran, a country whose laws regarding music – and especially black metal – have led to punishment, imprisonment and even death. Relocating to the UK, Shayan found a like-minded ally in bassist Sully, who had similarly left Syria due to facing imprisonment for his metal associations. Completing this power trio was talented British native M. Croton, a drummer with many years of experience under his belt.

Nowy song od SAVAGE

 

Today, Bavarian mean metallers Savage premiere the new track "Glory Riders" at the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) YouTube channel. The track is the third to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Glory Riders, set for international release on October 20th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Savage's title track "Glory Riders" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Bavaria, Savage formed in 2019 and promptly began solidifying their aesthetic. Then a trio, Savage’s sound remained firmly within the 1980s, and specifically on the darker and more dangerous side of the Sunset Strip – namely W.A.S.P. and early Mötley Crüe. The first sinful fruit was borne with their self-titled debut EP, which was recorded at the end of 2021 and then self-released during the following summer. Strictly DIY from mixing and mastering to promotion and distribution, Savage showed that Savage had the fire already raging: word of mouth spread worldwide, the record nearly sold out, and work had already begun on their debut full-length!

Now with the addition of rhythm guitarist Alex “Axel” Warrior, Savage have at least developed into the (fuck-like-a) beast they always aimed for, and are prepared to deliver a bound-to-be-classic debut album: Glory Riders. Almost presciently titled, Glory Riders soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dirty and raw metal – or, as the band rightly liken it, MEAN HEAVY METAL. From sound and spirit on down to production and overall attitude, Savage have the sleaziest side of classic American metal down COLD…or, should that be “fiery”? Indeed, even with the categorically cruising mid-tempo at which they move, Savage positively ooze energy every single second here; hooks and heaviness take equal weight, and there’s just the right amount of spaciousness here (ala W.A.S.P.’s nigh-untouchable opening trio of albums) to lend moodiness and mystery to the band’s stadium-ready bravura. Neither flashy nor rudimentary, Glory Riders is simply stripped-down and muscular where it needs to be, keeping emphasis on the songwriting (and solos!) and letting Savage’s irresistible attitude take hold.

Without hyperbole, Savage have hereby thrown down the gauntlet for any band, ever, attempting to invoke the sound & spirit of the aforementioned glory years of W.A.S.P., and Mötley Crüe. Further references include classic Twisted Sister, early Lizzy Borden, Halloween, Impaler, and even Coup d’état-era Plasmatics, but one listen to Glory Riders and you’ll be convinced that these still-young gods are the REAL fucking DEAL!

Winylowe wznowienie ROT "Baphomet"

 

Atlanta (GA) - Boris Records has unleashed "Baphomet" on Bandcamp, a previously unreleased track from the label's forthcoming vinyl reissue of ROT's Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo #1 1990. Jump into the abyss at:

borisrecords.bandcamp.com/track/baphomet-unreleased-track

Way back in 1990, a quartet by the name of ROT released a demo tape entitled, Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo #1 1990, one of the most strikingly raw and guttural death metal recordings to ever come from the Atlanta scene. That tape has lain obscurity for more than 33 years, existing only as a grainy video buried deep on the Internet.

Now, Boris Records is proud to announce the first official vinyl release of Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo #1 1990 on October 6. The album includes ROT’s original four-song demo EP remastered, along with two previously unreleased cuts, “Baphomet” and “Violent Beast” (rehearsal), as well as a live show from 1991.

The album also includes a recently unearthed live recording, and an in-depth biography from John Mincemoyer (printed on 11x11 insert), packed with dozens of never-seen-before photos, illustrating the countless hurdles and seemingly insurmountable odds the group faced during their short but fiery existence.

The remastered title track is available to stream at:

Split GRABUNHOLD / CIRCLE OF SHADOWS na początku grudnia

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces December 8th as the international release date for Lamentationen, a special split album between Grabunhold and Circle of Shadows, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Bringing together two black metal hordes from the Olde World, Lamentationen features three exclusive tracks each from Germany's Grabunhold and Austria's Circle of Shadows. Those who follow the evil deeds of Iron Bonehead should be well aware of Grabunhold by now, having released an EP in 2019 and the successive Heldentod debut full-length in 2021 (and, most recently, a reissue of the band's first demo). Keeping their swords aloft, the Germans continue to mine their medieval black metal with care, craft, and charisma. But the plaintive lament "Lebewol" should induce chills as their half comes to a close.

Circle of Shadows, for their part, comprise a member from the well-respected Transilvania, and although they've been around a decade, their discography to date includes all short-lengths. Nevertheless, with their trio of tracks here do they whip forth a rustic style of black metal that's equal parts icy surge and triumphant march - pagan by proxy rather than "pagan black metal" by cliche. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Grabunhold / Circle of Shadows' Lamentationen

Grabunhold:

1. Caras Galadhorn

2. Der Zorn der zwei Türme

3. Lebewohl

Circle of Shadows:

1. Draugluin

2. Tol-in-Graurhoth – Mein Fluch ist schwarzer Segen

3. Nine Ghosts

Nine days before the official release of "Nous sommes d'Hier", SÜHNOPFER premiere their fourth full-length via Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Listen below to these seven epic tracks filled with nostalgic grandeur:

Created into the deep lands of the Bourbons in 2000, SÜHNOPFER is the Black Metal project of multi-instrumentalist and sole member Ardraos (also drummer for CHRISTICIDE, AORLHAC).

SÜHNOPFER has since built up a discography of three demos, an EP ("L’Aube des Trépassés", 2007) and 3 full-length albums: "Nos Sombres Chapelles" (2010), and the resounding "Offertoire", released at the end of 2014, as well as "Hic Regnant Borbonii Manes" (2019).

SÜHNOPFER delivers a violent medieval and melodic atmosphere, with themes dealing with a medieval, knightly, obscurantist and religious dimension, by adding typical aspects of his powerful and glorious homeland.

Celsus, wokalista Kalt Vindur tak opisał utwór: „Żywioły” to ukłon w stronę naszych przodków, których czyny, życie i pragnienia znajdują odzwierciedlenie w każdym z przywołanych tytułowych elementów. Twój stosunek do duchowości, religii itp. nie jest ważny. Energia twoich poprzedników jest nadal obecna, mimo że ich ciała już dawno rozsypały się w pył. Ta energia napędza nasze życie dzisiaj, tak jak nasza energia wróci do następnych pokoleń.”

Svart, gitarzysta i założyciel Kalt Vindur powiedział: „Żywioły” to transowy utwór, po wstępie następuje totalny wybuch, przez ponad minutę nie ma zwolnień, jest ciągły cios za ciosem, po czym następuję transformacja w melancholijną, epicką opowieść o naszych słowiańskich przodkach.”

„Żywioły” są już dostępne także na wszystkich platformach cyfrowych.

Kalt Vindur powstał wiosną 2015 roku w Dukli w Polsce. Po zmianach personalnych w składzie Artur (Svart) na gitarze, Julian (Xakhariash) na perkusji, Szymon (S) na gitarze basowej, Wojciech (Celsus) na wokalu, zespół nagrał swój pierwszy album zatytułowany „Delusions” wydany w 2017 roku przez polską wytwórnię płytową Mara Productions. Następnie do Kalt Vindur dołączył gitarzysta Marcin (Ver) aby uzupełnić skład koncertowy, wkrótce potym został stałym członkiem zespołu.

Pierwszy album zespołu to sześć kompozycji osadzonych w klimacie progresywnego black metalu, charakteryzującego się klimatem Podkarpacia, którego wyrazem są melodie i agresywne rytmy. Tematyka tekstów obejmuje zmagania człowieka z wewnętrznymi demonami, słabościami, a także wydarzenia związane z historią Podkarpacia, takie jak wyniszczające bitwy II wojny światowej, śmierć, zniszczenie i cierpienie.

W 2020 roku nakładem Witching Hour Productions ukazała się druga płyta zatytułowana „...And Nothing Is Endless”, na której zespół dalej rozwijał swój styl i potwierdził unikalny charakter podkarpackiego black metalu. Tym razem muzyka nabrała jeszcze większej mocy i melodii z regionalnym zabarwieniem. Kompozycje stały się jeszcze bardziej gwałtowne i ciężkie. Kalt Vindur koncertował u boku takich zespołów jak Pandemonium, Hate, Batushka, Jarun, Zmarłym oraz wystąpił na Siekiera Fest 2021.

W 2022 roku zespół nagrał materiał na swoją trzecią płytę zatytułowaną „Magna Mater”. Nagrań perkusyjnych na nowy album dokonał nowy utalentowany perkusista Rafał Chruścicki (Czarnuch), który zastąpił dotychczasowego perkusistę Juliana (Xakhariash). Styl zespołu ewoluował i tym razem, czyniąc “Magna Mater” najbardziej dojrzałym dziełem z zaskakującymi zmianami, jednocześnie będąc wielowymiarowym i spójnym.

Nadchodzące koncerty w Polsce:

7 października - Rzeszowskie Piwnice, Rzeszów

21 października - Kultowa Klubokawiarnia. Lublin

18 listopada - Muzyczna Meta, Częstochowa
