Written in Blood (Netherlands)




Written in Blood ( Netherlands )
CD."Written in Blood"

Written in Blood the Dutch death metallers give us a fairly well-worked, solid and forceful sound, it also presents melodic sounds and of course they manage to amalgamate everything extreme with a melody that becomes such an exquisite and brutal sound at the same time. The self-titled album "Written in Blood" gives us nine songs, each one more brutal than the next one achieved in its gestation in December 2022, with a sound that I can recommend for all those lovers of the most classic sound of melodic death and great invoice when you manage to appreciate all this disc. If you are looking for some melodic death sound standard, here you will be able to find it and you will have added sounds as dark and abysmal as well as a misanthropy that is not disdained, making this whole album a sublime integral sound. Before I go I recommend songs like "Germánic" "Wilde Jacht" and "Return of the Ancient Gods" brutalities embodied in the audio of this great album recommended for deathlovers.



Proglas (Slovakia)




Proglas (Slovakia)
CD."Herrethik"

Proglas from Slovakia excellent black metal band necessary for the followers of this genre. Faithful followers have great material on their album "Herrethik". Brutal riffs and very demonic sick rhythms necessary for the day to day of this blacker in general. You can walk the path of many rhythms and feelings along this huge disk in quality and essence. Active since 2001, the natives of Trenčín, Trenčín provide us with a record that I recommend from beginning to end.



Flukt (Norway)





Flukt (Norway)

T: Hello greetings, Where did the idea of forming a band come from?

Flukt: Hello! We started Flukt back in 2014, with a desire to perform old school Black Metal. We had previously played together in other metal bands.

T: The name of the band comes from where and why did they decide that it will be called that Flukt?

Flukt: We wanted a Norwegian name that was short and had a two-faced meaning behind it. Flukt is Norwegian for flee or escape.

T: What has been the response in the underground with the debut Cd. and Lp.  "Darkness Devour"?

Flukt: Actually we have only received pretty good reviews and response for “Darkness Devour”. Way beyond our expectations. 

T: Who made the cover like all the art and can you explain it?

Flukt: We had the ideas for the artwork, but it was made by Moonring art design. The concept reflects the lyrics and music. “Darkness devour” is not a concept album, but there is a red tread going through the whole record. The title says it all…

T: How did you contact Dusktone Records?

Flukt: We had heard about Dusktone and were familiar with a couple of bands on the label roster. So, when we were looking around for a label, we reached out to them.

T: The band has been a fundamental pillar of the world under, how do you feel that it has managed to influence bands that are just starting out?

Flukt: I don’t think we are fundamental in the underground. Not at all! We always try to have younger bands as support band when we do local gigs.

T: How have you seen the world metal scene today and what difference do you notice with it if we compare it 20 years ago?

Flukt: The “scene” is much bigger nowadays, but at the same time more watered out. We don’t pay too much attention to the whole metal scene. Still stuck in the 80s/90s.

T: Do you enjoy recording material that is comparable to playing live?  do you prefer one thing or both?

Flukt: We prefer performing live over recording.

T: How was your attitude when you learned about the declaration of the global pandemic?  did you affect the band?  Did it affect your life and the environment of the band?

Flukt: Of course the band was affected by the pandemic. We had to cancel some club gigs and a small European tour. But music is our hobby not our livelihood so we can’t complain too much about it. Luckily the pandemic seems to have run its course for now.

T: Did you ever think that the global pandemic situation would end the genre under or were you confident that it would remain and become more solid?

Flukt: The pandemic has given bands more time to create and record new music. And now when things seem to open up again, more people are interested in going to liveshows. There are often positive perspectives to neagative things to.

T: What opinion do you have about today's society and what is your position on the world scene under?  have they taken a correct path?  Is there more to go?

Flukt: We play black metal and that will always be underground. It is what we like to do. We are in it for the music, not money or anything else. 

T: Finally, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions and if you Hy leave a message to your followers throughout Latin America and if you hope one day to know these lands?  greetings thank you.

Flukt: Thank you for the interview! Much appreciated! I hope we one day will be able to tour Latin America, looks really amazing.




Ravager (Germany)




Ravager (Germany)
CD."Thrashletic"
 
Walsrode, Lower Saxony is where Ravager comes from violent and very direct German thrasher since the beginning is an explosive disk. CD."Thrashletic" is a huge record for global thrash metal fans. An under style very practiced in these times by new bands that pay tribute to the old sound and keep the old school of thrash metal alive. Pointy batteries that make you suffer pain and riff on guitars and basses that are extreme but can not and a direct and you get crushing at full speed through your veins. With an ep and two discs in our pocket they are assuring us of the most rabid trash metal future that will continue playing forever.





White Mantis (Germany)




White Mantis (Germany)
CD "Sacrifice Your Future"
 
Thrash, thrash and more thrash is the first thing you feel and breathe when listening to this band and this great album that I now present to you. Munich Bavaria from there is born the "Sacrifice Your Future" a disc that really is a kick in your face from beginning to end frontal and direct, riff wreckers and grumpy strings as sharp as steel itself and a battery as explosive as dynamite itself. I recommend the whole album but songs like: "Cannibal State" that opens the album and other songs like "bleached", "ordinary loser", "demonic levity" among others are sound brutalities. Europe is assured of the original thrasher sound because bands like this that are barely rhythm enjoy this whole album, health metalheads. 2012 sound as legendary as the most veteran of the style, if you want to move the frenetica under the most frenetic.




Spirits Way (Poland)




Spirits Way (Poland)
CD."Devoid Of Moralit"

Spirits Way is a band from Poland Warsaw formed in 2009 by a great guitarist / and excellent vocalist this same being leader of the group, Tomasz "Destroyer" Radzikowski, who works in the band officially since 2010. This band presents a sound influenced by classic death metal and oriented to classic bands of the genre. The lyrics talk about death, violence and perversion. CD."Devoid Of Moralit" is an album motivated by violence and darkness where we can appreciate nuances in its sound ranging from the sickest and most brutal, as well as the most violent of the genre. 8 musical plates that are real slabs that fall on the cement like heavy rocks, a selection of strings that although They are quite acute make you get deeply involved with the frontal sound they present, as well as a bass that crushes each note taking it to the most extreme, and a percussion that is quite complex that never lowers the speed and level of the extreme sound that this band presents. A very interesting project that I can recommend for all those followers of death metal and black metal that is often able to go beyond the classic, although here we get those influences, but the band despite this achieves a particular and very original sound.

CD. “Motherfucker in the Sky”
 
Drünken Bastards CD. “Motherfucker in the Sky” I should to say if you diehard metal fan so rush for this release of Drünken Bastards! It is a killer band! It is all that we like in the combination of Thrash metal and punk, rough sound, rough vocals, fast tempo and atmosphere of total madness! And don’t forget very cool guitar leads. Though all guitar work is cool it makes you shake your head immediately From the beginning till the end it is enjoyable release the pure rock’n’roll in Motorhead’s vision. Also I could compare Drünken Bastards with a Sodom in a period of their “Till Death Do Us Unite” the same atmosphere of the wild alcoholic fun, ha-ha! And naturally I should to mention early Tankard. So I don’t know why you still reading this buy alcohol, turn Drünken Bastards on as loud as possible and start to fall into madness! Gimme another beeeeeer!!!!!!!!!
