Stygian Temple, German black metal band, bring us their first album "In the Sign of the Five Angles", a totally blacker and brutal album from beginning to end without rest or space to any other genre. They combine the old and new school of this great genre, this record that was recorded in 2016 leaves the German underground high.
Some of his riffs remind me of the very MAYHEM influence is noted. Sharp guitars, the space to the melody is little, and the battery an eternal blast beat, voices from beyond the grave without abusing highs. Sol records are responsible for distributing this album. Recall that this disc has a side a and a side b. Side A: Intro, Soli Deo Gloria, Cathartic Nimbus, The Great Cosmic Void, Verbum Dei, In the Sign of the Five Angles, Dominion of the Trident B side Intro, Soli Deo Gloria, Cathartic Nimbus, The In the Sign of the Five Angles, Dominion of the Trident. It was recorded in cassette format 200 If you are a black metal lover do not hesitate to feel the whole trip of this monumental album.
From Salzburg Austria comes the devastating sound of Scapegod's black death and dark. An incredible and powerful sound that walks between the most melancholic back and all the darkness represented in each of the songs and always does not fail to notice the impact of death in its sound. His album Dystopia is characterized by having quite melodic themes, but also combines with direct guitars drums of ultra speed and voices from the afterlife, the voices are of the same ultratumba Nine songs make up this great album of the Austrians I think it is a good trip that you should decide to do, totally recommended this great album of this interesting band, try to explore and get lost in the darkness of Dystopia.
Porta Inferi.Scattered between Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Germans Porta Inferi bring us their second long-playing album Chronicals of Human Failure. A disc where we can get a death black metal firsthand. Brutality and a lot of old school in their compositions, direct guitars and a brutal drums, a voice that never faints and frenetic rhythms, when they want to sound more dense and slow but just as heavy they know how to do it. Germany does not rest with the production of bands that know how to keep the sound of the 90s very well. Feet: Chris Fatal Guitars Thomas Vocals Sam Sheppard Drums Robert Bass Beoner Guitars The disc contains letters of death, destruction, torture, among others as they have always characterized the band. When we listen to your first 6 songs, do not have time to breathe. Open with Preface, then continue with the violent ones And So the Ghoul Spoke, No Escape, Rough Manners, and then continue with direct themes such as Invasion of the Sick and Panzersturm. You get with themes in the same order of ideas without lowering speed or intensity Crawling Invader, Artificial Afterglow, .A.R.S. And the album ends with two masterpieces: Maggots Grub and Resting in Dust. The band does not have a record label, they produce everything independently and it's really a great job they do, recommended.
Fallen Outcast, the extreme and alternative metal band comes to us with its very particular sound and a rather original proposal something that is appreciated in a world band scenary where many times we can see proposals, without much creativity or do not leave the basics . The disc presented by "Shadows ov the past" contains a characteristic sound of extreme metal but with a very alternative cut that refreshes since you never know that they will show or show you in their next riff an album would say incredible and very virtuous dedicated to Progressive lovers could also say. A voice that is very powerful and characteristic and amazing riff as well as compositions in very brutal leathers with unexpected cuts that make this album exciting to listen to this album completely. Ultimately Poland continues to give us race bands that leave world metal very high and in this case Fallen Outcast is not at all the exception, enjoy this great musical plaque.
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.
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.
The demo that I tell you below is interesting and quite worth appreciating. Demonic Dreams these German nobles formed in 2017 come loaded with their best melodic death arsenal and seek to break into the extreme melodic world scene. Withdraw notable influences from Swedish death metal from the early 90's we can enjoy very melodic songs and with all the force they say about death metal. Great song like Hellbound, Ancestral Sin, Daemonspell, etc. Brutal Demo, well executed and with the necessary energy to present your sound to the world. Being a band that I would like you not to forget and that you recognize within so much nascent metal in these times, here I leave you the names of their cintegrates and so you can investigate more about the authors of this great Demo: Dennis Pake, Stefan Rosenow, Nils Kreul, Simon Stellmacher. Let's hope very soon that the natives of Hamm are presenting us a long duration as exquisite as this material.
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.
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.
Carry The Torch excellent thrash death metal band of those that make you enter a frantic dance with the same death whom you will see from the front. The natives of Kalmar and Oland, Sweden sound like a cough a band with great experience, professional sound and great aptitude that is often decisive in this new world of the world metal scene. In July 2019, this musical gem comes to light, a large plate "Obsession" that takes you through thrash passages first, then you can experience the most direct death metal, then you will be impacted by dark but very deep melodies and a sublime union of sounds that make you discharge all your energy and which in turn achieves a sound by relaxing passages and representative of the purest melodic death. Each instrument is executed with a level of excellence and its powerful vocalization predominates and makes the power always present. A formidable album in which it is worth investing money and time you will not be disappointed and surely when you manage to get together with your colleagues it will be a great experience.
Dunkell Reiter thrash maniac of Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil, active band since 1995 are not children and know very well that they make music to kick heads and destroy the mosh. Accelerated guitars, violent riffs, drums at a thousand per hour, bass without slowing down and you as the best thrash groups of the late 80's. The album "Unholy Grave" of 2014 is a real piece in the thrash underground world, it was time for a long duration of this band that with so much career only had a demo and three eps behind them. Brazil always brings us bands that for years have represented important achievements within this style worldwide. Dunkell Reiter is: Roberto "Otrebor" Bass, Jonathan Reiter Drums, Rider of Hell Guitars, Assassin Guitars, Vocals Here you can check the set of this huge album: Unholy Grave Be Thrash or Die Eternal Nightmare Evil Never Dies Soldiers of Hell Evil The Mask of Insanity Assassin Thrash bluntly and direct impact, a brutal Dunkell Reiter disc do not lose sight of it.
Desolate Fields (The Netherlands)
CD."Past Apocalyptic Dates"
Desolate Fields, Dutch giving us post death black metal melodic since 2012. On October 1, 2016 was released its last long duration "Past Apocalyptic Dates". Begin the album with Ramblings of a Stone Man (Effort Part I) a brutal instrumental theme and then continue with the second part Stained Papers (Effort Part II) and you know what is the trend of the album themes like Enviro and Vultures, relaxing and extreme clean and guttural voices quite melody but in the same way always a lot of strength in each composition, make an amalgam between quieter and quieter sounds with the most extreme and rabid. They follow the disc with: A Visible Mass of Vapour the second instrumental of the disc and if in this musical proposal it is the music and what the protagonist transmits beyond letters and voices, they continue with Hollow Earth and Past Apocalyptic Dates. To close with the brutal: Blister. DF are: Martijn van Beek Bass Mark Havoc Drums Gerben Getkate Guitars Alex Weisbeek Guitars, Vocals Jochem Lodder Keyboards, Vocals It is impossible not to remember the Swedes Dark Tranquility when we listen to them as well as the Callenish Circle their compatriots among other death melodic bands. Holland continues to provide good death metal with melody.
Poland saw the enveloping darkness of Mysthicon born. Recall that they are formed pen 2015 AD by members of Vader, Lux occulta, Hate and Batushka. "Into the dark" is a promotional EP. that contains two themes that we hope will be part of your next record production. Darkness and I hate a true musical apocalypse that of this huge and brutal band every second of these issues. "Into the dark" and the cover of Lux Occulta "Passing away" make up this musical plate. We notice the influence and caliber of each musician in the execution and development of this great EP. I recommend them 100%.
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!!!!!!!!!
Faceless God / Temple of Katharsis / Sulferon (Greece)
CD Split."Knights of the Northern Black Empire"
The three bands Faceless God / Temple of Katharsis / Sulferon, are the culprits of this split of evil. Of course all under the conspiracy of Celtic Fog Productions of Alexandria Greece. "Knights of the Northern Black Empire" is the name of this musical plate. The set of the disc is: Temple of Katharsis Immortal Legions From Underworld Temple of Katharsis - Redeption Through Blood Faceless God Full of Hate Eyes Faceless God - Inner Circle Sulferon - Syberian Battalion Deathmarch Sulferon - Foul Desecration of the Holy Trinity Black metal of great invoice you can listen to this album made in 2016, recommended for fans of the genre, or if you are looking to experience listening to other genres, you could venture with this material.
Condemnatio Cristi "Dreamcrusher" Beautiful melodic intro meets me with sound of saxophone on the Condemnatio Cristi release “Dreamcrusher” This is rather unusual; I can remember the saxophone in extreme metal in Carpathian Forest’s “Defending The Throne Of Evil” or Pagan’s “Monument Of Depression” but that are some other sorts of sounding. “Dreamcrusher” represents totally polished and trendy sounding material. Here you can find modern sweet keys and FX, simple guitar harmonies and hard rock leads, clean female voice, clean male voice and growling… Sure, here are some powerful riffs but its disappear totally in the poppy sound of release. By this atmosphere “Dreamcrusher” reminds me Theatre Of Tragedy, Tristania or The Gathering with their late toothless and useless releases. So if you wanna spend romantic time with a gothic girl (or probably YOU are gothic girl) can choose “Dreamcrusher.” In all other cases forget about it.
Ukranian band Mutanter came to light 1991 was the year that the excellent Practitioners of a death metal nourished by anti religion and much philosophy in their lyrics. His album "The Limit" is an excellent work, bands that already have so many years of experience, you really know that very rarely they can disappoint you and it is not the case of this great plaque that they present to us. Professional performance and incredible brutality for each track of the album from start to finish impeccable and really highly recommended for followers of classic death. I am glad and I am very satisfied that this band with such a long history and antiquity finally has its long album to present it to the world metal scene, you just have to discover it and enjoy it.
