Zardens - Blackness Unfolds (2015) During the listening of “Blackness Unfolds” I had impression that it is some unknown DISSECTION’s material. After the atmospheric guitar intro the track “The Berserker” simply blows you head away. And so the other tracks are. Guitars show a different work from the grim arpeggio to the intensive Black Metal tremolo with a good melodies and atmosphere. And don’t forget a guitar leads! Sound of album is rather clear so even basslines could be checked. Basslines also have a good piece of melodies and makes material deeper and more interesting. Rhythmically we have variability from the thrashing moments and blasting to the slow groovy stuff. In conclusion: if you like DISSECTION you will like ZARDENS “Blackness Unfolds” exactly.

Sereignos (Indonesia)

Sereignos the title of CD “Total Havoc” describes the content rather exact. It’s a raw primitive intensive Death/Black Metal. Sereignos plays carelessly and chaotically; drums and guitars are sounding separately and hysterical vocal is screaming over it without tempo. I’m sure that these guys full with evil and hate but in the total they sound like raging teenagers in a basement. I should to add that specific atmosphere of the basement shown in a proper way, it seems like you listen to some old-school demo with not bad sound. Anyway if you feel enraged and wanna kill everyone “Total Havoc” is pretty good choice as a soundtrack for it.

The Sarcophagus - Beyond This World's Illusion (2017) The Sarcophagus is a Black Metal band from Turkey. But if you think it full with traditional oriental stuff you have totally mistaken. “Beyond This World's Illusion” shows a traditional Black Metal like NAGLFAR or DARK FUNERAL but it sounds very convincing. Release has a dark mystic atmosphere which made by good guitar work. Tracks are very variable with unexpected changing of rhythm and full with excellent melodies. Also there are some acoustic guitar parts sounding like calm before the storm. And the proper word to describe the vocal is “poisonous” and it combines with music very good. So “Beyond This World's Illusion” is a very powerful work which I recommend to all fans of Black Metal who likes melodic stuff.
