CD."Helios Manifesto"

                       

The 2019 was a great year for Feralia, a great exponent of atmospheric black metal. "Helios Manifesto" brutal plate 5 songs that range from the melody to the most powerful extreme, a fury in each song that is the sound of this album that catches you from the beginning until you finish it. First-rate black metal an impeccable recording and execution and professional siper supported by a sound that is beastly from start to finish nothing to envy the great exponents of the genre. A voice that reminds me of the best frotman of the genre and an offensive atmosphere that truly represents the essence of this style, always confronting and being direct in its proposals. 100% me you will not regret it.

Hellraisers (Italy)

CD."The macabre dance of the keeper"

 

Piemonte has dressed the band Hellraisers faithful pillars of Italian black since 1995 making this mudno a darker place to live. They bring us their album "The macabre dance of the keeper" excellent album and quite brutl in every way. The essence of this great group and its entire trajectory brings us a great album. Fierce voices and impeccable instrument performance, I really like all its old school sound that lets us see where they come from and where they are going with their declaration of death to everyone. If you want to know more about Italian metal and its extreme part, I invite you to listen to this band that is the pillar of Italian metal.

Document 6 (Germany)
CD."Grind (r)evolution"
 
Aachen home of the grindcore Document 6. Germany continues to provide bands every day of all styles and moods. And grind is a style that you can love or perhaps hate because it is surely not suitable for any ear, because it is very accustomed to extreme extremes and many do not tolerate it. Lament if you are one of those, then stay away because this disease and musical bestiality that is his album "Grind (r)evolution" is simply not for you. 21 themes from start to finish colossal and crazy as well as this style, there is no shortage of intros and outros who may or may not give rise to knowing what the up locoming song is about. Musically riff sick and violent guttural voices to more power and grunts combined, drums ranging from the most grind to hardcore and punk if mixing all this and making your head explode with so many rhythms in so few seconds, it came to mind Quickly the glorious Regurgitated masters of this style. Note more than positive the tribute paid to him in the final song of the album "A for Arroganse" by the legendary Belgians (Agathocles) eminences of the under grind.

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.

Battlesword (Germany)

Battlesword (Germany)

CD."An death cometh upon us"

Battlesword excellent band that today offers us a majestic album called "An death cometh upon us". We can get a good mix of quite homogeneous sounds in this production, from death and thrash, as well as a melody that becomes decisive in every way, for many it may remind you of the legendary Amon Amart, with such an epic tone typical of hymns that take you to the beyond. "Into Battle" and "Once" seemed to me two tracks of real power and reminded me of the best bands on the Swedish scene in this style. Breaking down the album is a totally impeccable, crisp and high-quality recording, execution of each element all pass with 100 strings with incredible virtuosity and a notorious talent, a voice that never disappoints or faints excellent gutturals and a battery that never stops accelerating and it is the engine for the compendium of sounds so brutal that this great band gives us. Always recommended if your taste for melodic and extreme metal is high.

Hate Crime (Russia)

Hate Crime (Russia)

CD."Music About Death"

Saint Petersburg, Russia, there begins the story of Hate Crime with a very apocalyptic soundtrack, making a homogeneous mix between death and black and all their related, a chaotic and very tormented sound very much in line with the current world situation. CD."Music About Death" a plate in its entirety that takes you from sadness to rage you go through the melodic and extreme to the most shocking, never leaving aside a very particular and original sound, a quite renewed musical proposal and different from that of extreme cut bands. I have been pleasantly surprised by the records recorded in Russian studios, they have come a long way in terms of the quality of their work and it is noticeable on this formidable record. 7 huge quality tracks from Dead "Raven" to "1984" and the "purge" no waste on any of them. "DimaDima" does an excellent job in charge of vocals and guitars, I was surprised by his guttural range varies but that makes him fit in an excellent way in each composition of each song. "A.V." he is a true percussion demon making each song move further by taking it through very technical and brutal passages not only choosing the blast beat path but also making changes and playing with the snare and cymbals. "Pavel" makes all this sound have all the necessary energy and strength that the bass provides in each composition, giving a concrete base to the entire album, making it a super solid material in each note played. Although I did not know their music, it seemed super familiar to me and I quickly adjusted to the sound that you wanted to vomit in your ears as soon as you heard them and was very satisfied for being a valuable material that comes from these distant lands of northern Europe where the flame of metal underground sohue alive. Do not lose hearing them.

Scraper (Germany)

Scraper (Germany)

CD."Hunger Within"

Marl, Germany gave birth to the thrashers of Scraper, a band with a very brutal staging and a fairly defined and matured sound, they totally know what they want to convey with their sound and the proposal is quite polished and accomplished, due to many passages in their songs. Sometimes they combine death metal with thrash and make an exquisite amalgamation of styles for the metal ear. Let us remember that this band has been active since 2016 and we are struck by the fact that they work independently, which is something very admirable within the metal scene of record distribution, which is a truly hard world for those who decide to self-produce. I already gave you an introduction to the sound of the band that presents us with its only album "Hunger Within" that presents us with ten songs of a very well made metal, strolling through the most frenetic thrash, as well as certain experiments with denser and slower sounds but that give a great atmosphere to this great album. Markus and Tobias on the strings caught my attention with excellent solos and riffs very well done. Ralf in the almost perfect percussion and giving enormous power to the sound that he seeks to deliver.Carsten, who is in charge of vocals, has an impeccable performance from start to finish on the album. With closed eyes I recommend this great material very well achieved.

Solfernus (Czech Republic)

 

Solfernus (Czech Republic)

Solfernus “Neoantichrist”. What an awesome release! From the first track I understood what kind of material it will be! It is a sort of simple but powerful Blackened Metal which catches you from the first riff. Sometimes it’s a Black Metal blasting, sometimes it’s a pure Thrash attack, sometimes it’s a slow atmospheric grooving moment but always catching. Also, I should mention some interesting features as an acoustic flamenco guitar, atmospheric keys and guitar insertions and various vocals from clean to hysterical. Vocals has some unique Czech atmosphere, if you had heard at least Master’s Hammer or Root you know what I mean. By the way some musicians from Root are playing in SOLFERNUS. In conclusion, I recommend “Neoantichrist” to all fans of a good powerful Unholy Metal.

Hak-Ed Damm (Canada)

 

Hak-Ed Damm (Canada)

Canadian band Hak-Ed Damm presents a powerful and intensive War Black Metal on their LP.Holocaust Over Dresden Need a comparison? They have a track with title “MG 42.” So the sound is very similar to machine gun cannonade that reminds me old Marduk. Except the track “Auschwitz-Birkenau” which is a short semi-acoustic rest before the second part of the fight. Naturally, some samples of war sounds could find here that making atmosphere of the album more convincing. The sound of fretless bass was surprising for me, but it’s didn't damage the whole atmosphere appears like a feature instead. Certainly “Holocaust Over Dresden “ is a good powerful LP, which I recommend to all fans of fast and devastating sort of Black Metal with military esthetics.
