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.

Trond (Germany)

Trond a true black metal band. The natives of Russia present us with a dry and destructive black without melodies or halftones within the genre. This is black straight to your head, penetrating your veins and ending all your being, seizing the little life you will have left after hearing this bestiality of disk. Willkommen Im Unheil is the name of the plaque of this same year in progress 2019 and it really is a trip to the abyss of the musical universe, truly dark pagan sad and stormy a true masterpiece. Sharp bass strings and excellent riffs guitars, as well as a battery that never slows down this frenetic journey to death itself. The voice is a separate class that describes with its tear the very death that persecutes you to do justice claiming your life. It really conveys the feeling that is the genre black and it can really be highly recommended, that if only for true followers of the genre, abstain who does not know well the monster called black metal.

Great teachers recommended.
The band was formed in the end of 1996. From the very beginning the band took a special place on Syktyvkar's stage. The use of a drum-machine, a sharp guitar and growl, distinguished the sound of the band from the others. From 1997 to 1999 the band had a successful concert activity. At the beginning of the new century "GRIMORIUM VERUM" had released the concert EP " In concert 1999 " which was successfully sold. A year later the band recorded a single "Dancer", the most ambiguous composition of the collective at the time. But time is inexorable, and in 2001 "GRIMORIUM VERUM" stopped their activity due to personal and creative issues. In 2005 the vocalist of the band, Roma Diamond, released his solo album, in which he included the compositions of "GRIMORIUM VERUM". This collaboration of Diamond and Andy gave a push to a revival of the band. In 2006 the guys resumed the concert activity, not forgetting about composing new songs. The sound of the group has become even more powerful and aggressive, and the use age of samples added more distinct flavor of mysticism to their music. In 2008 Diamond and Andy released the first high-grade album "Retaliation". In 2011 the band released the second album "Reborn", in which the final music style was approved. At the same time a keyboard player joined the band. At present time it continues their successful activity taking part in various concerts and festivals. In 2015 the band released new album "Relict". It was step to new sound of band.





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.
