Ontborg (Italy)




Ontborg (Italy)
CD."Following the Steps of Damnation"

Ontborg's "Following the Steps of Damnation" The album classic elements of melodic death metal with a touch of melancholy and a distinct atmosphere. The guitar work is a highlight, with plenty of catchy and ominous riffs that stick in your head. The album is well-produced and features impressive artwork by Juanjo Castellano, adding to the overall atmosphere. While most of the album maintains a mid-paced tempo, it flows well and avoids feeling stagnant. The album draws heavily from the Swedish melodic death metal sound of the 90s, particularly bands like Dismember and Benediction. Despite its influences, Ontborg manages to create a sound that is distinctly their own. Some might find the consistent mid-tempo pacing to be predictable or lacking in variety. 
The CD."Following the Steps of Damnation" is a highly recommended album for fans of melodic death metal, particularly those who appreciate the Swedish sound of the 90s. It's a well-crafted album with memorable moments, a strong atmosphere, and a distinct identity. The album's professional presentation and artwork further enhance the listening experience.

(Editor: I have a request for a record label owner, you know who I'm talking to. Like many editors, I sometimes use the internet, which is already equipped with AI, to help us with biographies that some bands don't send us. We have to rely on that or on your websites. Stop trying to correct my work! Next time I'll ban you from all my social media. You know who I'm talking to, the one who thinks he owns the underground bands of a country just because he releases bands on CD-Rs in cardboard sleeves. I'm more than happy with over 277,000 visits and followers from all over the world who support my honest work, especially in Europe.)




Membrance (Italy)




Membrance (Italy)
CD."Undead Island"

Membrance's "Undead Island" is a brutal, old-school death metal album from Italy, heavily influenced by the Swedish death metal sound of the 90's, particularly Entombed. The album stays true to the core elements of old-school death metal, with a focus on powerful, guttural vocals, heavy, buzzing guitars, and a relentless, driving rhythm. Membrance heavily utilizes the HM2 "buzzsaw" guitar tone, a hallmark of the Swedish death metal scene, especially bands like Entombed. The album incorporates elements of black and thrash metal, adding layers of intensity and atmosphere. While primarily aggressive, the album includes melodic guitar harmonies that provide some contrast and depth. The lyrics delve into the dark and macabre tales and legends of Venice and its surrounding lagoon. The band incorporates lyrics in the ancient Venetian dialect, adding a unique regional touch. The album is described by emphasizing its aggressive and uncompromising nature. Despite the brutality, the album manages to create a strong atmosphere, drawing the listener into the dark world of Venetian folklore. While drawing on established influences, Membrance manages to carve out its own identity through the use of local themes and lyrical style. In conclusion, "Undead Island" is a potent and compelling death metal album that delivers a visceral and atmospheric experience, blending classic Swedish death metal with unique Venetian lyrical themes. Membrance's CD "Undead Island" is an extreme metal album that blends various sub-genres, incorporating harmonies from bands like Immortal and Belphegor, aggression reminiscent of Testament and Sepultura, melodies from Kreator, and classic death metal/grindcore elements in the style of Entombed, Dismember, Dying Fetus, and early Carcass. The album is characterized by "buzzing" guitar riffs, "skank beat" drumming, vocal inhales, and experimental breakdowns with black metal influences. The album is a fusion of different extreme metal styles, created to reflect the members' diverse listening preferences. Notable influences include Immortal, Belphegor, Kreator, Testament, Sepultura, Entombed, Dismember, Dying Fetus, and Carcass. "Buzzing" and "skank beat" guitar and drum work."Vocal inhales". Experimental breakdowns with black-ish backing lines.The band worked with Luca Cocconi to achieve their desired sound. 




Fosch (Italy)




Fosch (Italy)
CD."Per chi éla la nòcc"

"Per chi éla la nòcc" is the Fosch Italian blackers album. A great presentation of this band on an album that stands out entirely. A super extreme and true sound, filthy and very dirty every song that achieves the perfect sound of the genre. Creating the whole atmosphere of perversion and darkness itself by hearing all these notes. 8 songs make up this LP where songs like "Crost, Fosch, Rosen" stand out, the heartbreaking voice vomits you every gore every second and leaves you stupefied as well as each sick riff that becomes a frantic dance with the same death and what to say about the Drums a true brutal blast beat oiled machine on every note. I will continue to recommend under bands and if they are Italian black metal even more. Another success of Vacula Productions.




Inhibitions (Greece)




Inhibitions (Greece)
CD."With The Fullmoon Above My Head"

Inhibitions, powerful black metal that arrives to set precedents for the cusps of the darker style of our beloved metal. "With The Fullmoon Above My Head" was released on June 28, 2019 and it is a great album that we are presented below and I have the honor to break down below. 9 songs full of anger and total domination, atmospheric and brutal, its black metal also with raw accents, focusing its sound on the melancholy formed largely by the riffs of its guitars. Always heartbreaking and deadly voices like this with a battery that marks the time of death so fast that you never saw it coming. This Greek band that was formed in 2008 is here to stay and I really recommend this brutal piece of record.



Feralia (Italy)




Feralia (Italy)
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.



Atmoran (Netherlands)




Atmoran (Netherland)
EP."Omen"

Netherlands is the home of this great band that presents us with a powerful proposal below. Atmoran titles and gives the identity to this band that projects us its music full of hatred and power. Linking metalcore, thrash and progressive in a great way, really an interesting and intelligent mix. The EP."Omen" that we will be breaking down really is a masterpiece of the core taking into account its other influences that I already explained above, but this particular sound stands out among all. Being an ep I leave you the set list so you can review one by one and not lose detail of anything Omen Dignity's Veil Insomnia Bleak Harvest Theme by theme the sound of the band is growing in very brutal virtuosity and very great its impact when listening to it. Important ep of 2019 I recommend giving you the opportunity to go and if you like extreme metal of somewhat experimental cut do not hesitate to enjoy these 4 songs.



Annata Nera (Italy)




Annata Nera (Italy)
CD."Per Aspera Ad Mortis"

Black Metal band from Italy (Rieti, Lazio) Annata Nera, follows the country of the boot giving excellent exponents of the genre that many of us follow and love. This time they present their album "Per Aspera Ad Mortis". A true black mass throughout this album, an atmosphere of death from start to finish and themes so violent and cruel that they incite you to death itself. From today I will follow this band more closely because it leaves me very satisfied with its actions. The Italian for bass and treble in extreme music that really sounds very different is the sound when it comes to joining the instruments and gives more power to everything. Only three members are responsible for such a brutal plate and achieve a sound that blends perfection in each of the six songs that make up this piece of the underground. Do not wait any longer or you will regret not hearing them, long life to blackmetalwillneverdie.



Hyperborea (Bulgaria)




Hyperborea (Bulgaria)
CD."Umbra"
 
Hyperborea these Bulgarians arrive without envying sounds to anyone. Brutality, charisma, presence and great as anyone. Direct and high-invoice technical dry death metal. Extreme professional sound and rosy perfection within the extreme, if I can describe these beasts, these musical animals. There is a lot of influence from the death and thrash of the early nineties, it is the old school but with a much more technical sound. "Umbra" is a technically very well-made album, almost perfect from start to finish. You can see that the technique is immense and the experience more than proven. Voices always rose a huge register in quality, very well worked strings and a, percussion that stands out in technique and almost millimeter precision between blow and blow, something that pleasantly surprises me. These types of gangs with such a long history but without due recognition, many times go so unnoticed and it is frustrating that they get lost in the middle of the great universe of gangs across the planet. They deserve to know more: Dancho, Yordan, Andrey, Vladimir, Antonis. Remember that they are under the Spanish label "Art Gates Records". Always recommended friends, Health and Metal.



The Crawling (UK)




The Crawling (UK)
CD."Wolves and the Hideous White"
 
The Crawling from UK arrives and presents us with an album that is simply brutal. "Wolves and the Hideous White" is the incredible CD. that we are presented here with a mix of black, doom, death, dark and many styles together that always haunt the darkness completely. A band that surprised me and that really enchanted me in its staging. Subject after subject are falling and each one is darker than the predecessor. These Lisburn natives make clear the sound of utter misery and open doors for such a decadent and humiliating void as is the sound of this band. The density and supremacy that they display goes hand in hand with the virtuosity that they leave on this plate. Of the six themes of the CD. coming to an end with "Promises and Parasites" it is a lapidary closing that as a funeral ends the grab history of the sound described above. I recommend if you are a lover of darkness but look for something else...




Flukt (Norway)





Flukt (Norway)

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.




Proglas (Slovakia)




Proglas (Slovakia)
CD."Herrethik"

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.
