AMeN.V1 (Austria)

Running Wild Productions AMeN. V1(Austria) Compilation "Austrian Metal News  Volume 1."

A fairly extensive and rich material where we can navigate between many bands and different styles, this material surprised me because it makes it possible for you to investigate and get to know so many bands of this great scene that is very interesting. The way this compilation is done is brilliant due to the great way of compiling so many styles and of great quality.The art section of the compilation is masterful and the form and quality in which the album is printed seems to me to be of the first level, very much in keeping with the great material that they present to us.T he content of the compilation is made up of: VNZVCHT that practice black metal, AEONS OF ASHES that do melodic death metal, then we can listen to AUSSICHTSLOS that give us black metal, it also has the great band BLACK ANTHEM that makes an interesting black metal, another of the bands is CRUCIATUS INFERNALIS running a black dungeon. Then we can continue browsing for more bands like: Dea Artio who play an atmospheric black, then we continue FLAMMENKVLT also practitioners of black metal, then we can listen to GHA´AGSHEBLAH great black metal band, we also have bands with other styles present like INFECTED CHAOS with an excellent Death metal, there is also NÀIRE, an excellent band, PERDITUS continues with an enormous black metal of great quality. We also have another great band such as SCION OF DARKNESS presenting a legendary Death metal, a band that surprised me is SHEOGORATH with a quite interesting mixed style with black metal and a lot of melodic metal, then we can hear VERGEBLICHKEIT doing a very brutal gothic black. And the compilation closes with WINTER'S BREATH that gives us an incredible atmospheric metal along with brutal black, an excellent band called WITHDRAW that makes great black metal. An excellent compilation from start to finish, fully recommend.

Utburd (Russia)

 

Utburd (Russia)

Utburd on their release “The Horrors Untold” shows us a very good, frightening and mystic material which lies between Doom and Black metal and soaked with a morbid atmosphere of nightmares. Slow dissonant and slightly detuned distortion riffs mixed with clean arpeggios on guitar and piano, voice is changed from grim scream to growl, the whole sound of release is like funeral in cold rainy November day. Starting from the short introduction “The Horrors Untold” shows rather fast material but it becomes slower and slower with each track. And after the track “Pikman’s Triumph” sound becomes crawling and swallowing everything into darkness. Sometimes in fast moments Utburd slightly reminds me Lux Occulta for their mystic atmosphere, but sound is more sick and atmospheric. “The Horrors Untold” should be really good as a soundtrack for a good mystic horror movie or for a long and dark autumnal evening.

The Horrors Untold, a one man band from Russia practicing a serious and solid atmospheric and depressive black, where we listen to melodic and very diverse influences without leaving their black scheme. Active since 2014 Tuor only member of this project, gives life to this band and brings us their third recording The Horrors Untold. Each song is a hymn to the darkness and many times they leave us speechless. Set Rise of Dagon The Mystery of Joseph karven Death from Mount Tempest Pikman's Triumph The Horror Untold Recall that some issues are slow but do not lose the strength of style and are rather funerary marches to death itself. The set continues with: The Horror Untold He, Who Paint in Red Waiting for Death Is Worse And they end with an instrumental recording that is included in their demo of two years ago: He, Who Paint in Red. Highly recommended.
