Due to the same reason why I am abandoning this project, I cannot create the sample MP3 for Dark Mystery & Bilharzia. Sorry ....

DARK MYSTERY "Magical Realm" - Demo Tape, 4 tracks. Do evil lurk in solitude? "Lord Dark Legend" can probably answer that! He previously carry the name "Lord Legendary", The dark soul of Thailand, has now unleashed again his diabolical creation! And again holding the flames of Blackmetal alone yet stronger than ever! More hateful & rawer than his previous release with vocals murmured devilishly in unison to the darkness & evilness the music invokes. For black metals warriors!!! I cannot tell if he is the devil himself, but this is one-mans evilness shown in different wondrous ways that a few men would usually have created! For that alone I hail Lord Dark Legend! A true manifestation of all that is evil!!! To battle alone is to battle in glory!!! Contact: Dark Mystery, P.O Box 1011, Paklat Post, Bangkok, 10132, Thailand. E-mail: darkmystery666addr@hotmail.com  Tracks are: 01: Burial in the Cemetery of Hate. 02: Disaster Realm 03: The unholy Ceremony for Destroy. 04: Mysterious in the Ancient Forest.
BILHARZIA "Bloodfluke" - Tape EP, 5 tracks Pro-recording! I am amazed with this Malaysian death thrash metal band! This is death metal with lots of thrash influence! The speed is in thrash structure not in brutal grinding way, even though they have some blast beats to go with it! Tempo changes are all great, catchy & well shifted.  Even the instrumental part (track 05: Bloodfluke) which is somewhat classic metal in nature that I just wanna get some weed & trip on it & bang my head sideways har har har! The vocals are growled & undecipherable. Overall this is fucking great but the vocals sound buried beneath all the instruments!!! Of course that doesn't really affect the musick much but I personally just wan't to hear the vocals & growls more whether I can understand it or not! This is released by: S H A H / P.O BOX 585 / 30670 , IPOH / PERAK , MALAYSIA.
label contact : miseryrecords@hotmail.com band contact  : bilharzia@time.net.my Tracks are: 01: Hypocritical. 02: Era of Death. 03: C.G. 04: Humanity 05: Bloodfluke
ARGENTUM "Stigma Mortourom" CD 7 tracks. The band seems to be from Mexico, & Fernando Castel did not include bios. Need to check them out at the web...( http://www.argentum.8m.net ). Their style is a mix of almost all what the underground metal scene can offer. It's a combination of all that is out there & creating it to such an awesome musick. You'll get death, black, atmospheric, dark, gloomy  & occult metal! The music is solid in heaviness plus the darkness being brought by the keys and over all concept of darkness. Vocals are demonically crisp! Guitars flies in harmony! < Sample: 04. Descensus Nigrum Part II, Nocternarum >, full track is 5:47 min. Other tracks in the CD are: 01. Descensus Nigrum Part.1; 02. The Gardens of Unsane Renovation; 03. Mors Imperium Aetheriam; 05.Momento Vivoum, Interdeterioration, Cupio Dissolvi; 06. Bassium Mortis; 07. Acrimonia Mater Folorosa, Descensus Nigrum Part III.

ANCIENT GODS "Mystic Lands" MCD 4 tracks. This is black metal, a regression of the usual BM that kids would know now a days. The music is more centered on the darkness of raw BM than the ruthless speed that some BM bands seem to overuse. But don't get me wrong, this is aggressive as fuck! Thrashy, controlled chaos, the technicality of BM & the evilness being evoked which makes this worth it! Might seem like going to the basics of BM & creating heaviness thru the medium of the drums & guitars & of course the vocal power that would attract possession. They have succeeded in evoking their evil hymns with a sesionist drummer (Antonio), a  bassist (Luis), a guitarist (Javier) & the vocalist (Carlos). This is also from Sempiternal Production, P.O Box 08423, Chicago, IL 60608, USA. utterlysomber@juno.com or sempiternal@juno.com Fax: (312)432-0237 or http://come.to/sempiternal for updated info & releases. < Sample: 03 Inside the Devil's Mind > full track is 6:54 min. Other tracks are: 01. Unholy Terror; 02. Demon's Land; 04. Legions from the Lost Empire.
DEW OF NOTHING "The Hatehunger" MCD 4 tracks. This release have 2 new music & 2 tracks taken from their previous release *"Doubleweird" album. They also have a new member here, replacing the vocalist of the doubleweird release. They are still in their realm of uncompromising brutality of death metal. But the sharpening of skills is noticeable. As guitars inter changing in your ears with drums just keeps on pounding. Their speed is more straight forward now, as if focusing on a target or a prey. Even though the previous vocals sounds deeper, their new vocalist still delivers a caliber of harsh crunchy blood dry vocals! < Sample: 01. A fury path of Blood > Full track is 4:44 min. Other tracks are 02. The Hatehunger; 03. Wing's Eye *; 04. Nightmare's lake * .

APOPLEXY " Life, thoughts & destiny" CD 10 tracks. Looks like a serious band with that album title. Well, they are fucking serious in creating great catchy death metal. Control of speed & tempo changes is awesomely done, some tracks even seems to be inter woven. I didn't noticed that I am already listening to another track 'coz It sounded  like they just shifted into another tempo. They got speed in a blast, melodicity & a whirlwind of catchy tempo changes & could stop in a fucking halt. Vocals are blurred in mid bass growl, sometimes sounds insane. < Sample: 04. That is not dead... > full track is 4:09 min. Other tracks are 01. Life, thoughts & destiny; 02. Beerfly; 03. endanger your mind; 05. The exemplary father; 06. Distorted reincarnation; 07. Silence...; 08. Vaginal succion ; 09. Summoning ; 10. ...of flesh and steel. Contact: Apoplexy c/o Joanny Krafft, 14 rue de l'Elmerforst, 67200 STRASBOURG, France.

DECAPITATED "The Way of Brutality" 3 tracks CD-R demo.  A great progression from the Brutal Deathsters of Davao! They still have that tight playing skill, but here they sounded real tighter & more at ease with their style. Plus the great sound quality! They sounded more intense & sicker than previous! The tempo changes are also more smooth & overall musical structure is solid in the brutal death metal way!!! I think, for now, they hold the flag as the true brutal death metal band of this rotting country of mine! But hey, this is just a teaser of what this guys have to offer, they will release a full length soon & according to Ace they are continually creating music of brutal proportions! Abhor of Korihor band participated in one of the tracks here but I forgot which one.

Summon to Slay. International labels/productions interested don't hesitate to contact them!!!
KORIHOR "Demo 2002" Tape. Another real fucking great progression from another band in Davao! This is the Christian Annihilators in their war path!!! I remember Obispo mentioned before that they don't want to call their music Vampiric Metal or BM anymore , as not to be subjected to a genre, since I believe true evil has no real form anyway, that's great. But for musical purposes, they still play black metal! Un-compromising & necro brutal BM that is! This demo tape has 2 new songs (tracks 01 & 03) & another 1 from their previous demo which they re-mastered. It really sounded better, over all sound quality is great! There is no stopping this guys in their christian genocidal lust! After the 1st listen, the diabolical laugh stuck to me & the word  "Lucifer" keeps on coming back to my mind!!! and that's just the beginning of the onslaught! The vocals sound stronger too! Contact Obispo at asiametal@hotmail.com or Bakal Promotions c/o Marvin Garcia, P.O Box 80436, Davao City 8000 Philippines. Tracks are <Sample: 01.

FLATULATION ( Split EP w/ Atavism ) French porno gore sic grind metal assault! They usually attack a song in french but sometimes they do in english. Blasting grind with a drum machine. From David's 1st letter they were a duo, I don't know if they still are. This is devastating with solid mid growled vocals with some other vox & spurting once in a while.

KING'S EVIL "Deletion of Humanoise" 8 tracks. Not really a new band, 'coz according to their bio, they started in 1989. Anyway, they were reborn in 1998, created a demo in 1999 then reduced their activities as some members join Ritual Carnage. But now here is their debut album from World Chaos Production. They have described their music Aggressive Thrash Metal in the veins of one of the masters of that style, KREATOR. But I have to warn you, this is not a rip off of kreator nor they sound like the newer release of Kreator (where Kreator has wandered into a more melodic sound). KING'S EVIL is indeed aggressive thrash infused with hate, anger & death! The vocal gives depth to the sound  & in parallel with the musical direction making it more deadly! To those who know Kreator will of course have an idea of the sound, yet again you could be wrong? I've heard people whine about death metal being dead, thrash metal being dead & other crap! This is an answer to the whiners' prayers & to all who are very much into it & waiting for another band to put in their thrash  metal collection!! Get this from WORLD CHAOS PRODUCTION, #406 new Light Bldg. 2-25-6 Hongo Bunkyo-ku Tokyo Japan 113-0033. Fax:+81-3-5803-7661 E-mail: worldkdm@syd.odn.ne.jp  or try out the sample, have a little taste of real aggression, the thrash metal way! < Sample: Track#08 "SCREAM" > Full track is 4.12 minutes

CALLAHAN "Stalking The Unicorn" 10 tracks. By the look of the band logo & title of the release, you might think some sort medieval, folk, ambient metal. It is somewhat like that, heavy & thrash oriented with even a black feel in it. Vocals are in different mediums, blackish thin, clear goth bassy & medium range growls. Great use of keyboards adding accent on some parts & giving some atmosphere. This band can play in they're own melodicity, speed & a combination of both. I like the intro track too. This is a great listen where there are track that kinda laid you back & tracks that just gives you the power to bang it all!!!! Contact: Poisonous Piglet Distribution, c/o Zawilinski Wojciech, ul. Polna 2 d. 39-200 Debica, Poland or the band: Bartosz Tulik, ul. Sikorskiego 5/23, 39-200 Debica, Poland. callahan@interia.pl  < Sample: Track#8 "FOBIJNA WIZJA" > Full track is 5:05 min.
ETERNAL DEFORMITY "Live 21/01/01 Rzeszow" 14 lives trax in CD-R where 7 songs are untitled & 6 of those untitled are new. Maybe by now, they do have titles. Anyway, I do like what I heard from their previous stuff that Mr. Piggy sent me last time. Now, from what I hear, they are heavier & aggressive live even though the quality do vary from song to song but generally clear & good. The vocals are not too deadly, a bit crunchy husky mid range vocals. And yeah, in some part, the vocalist really sings, & I think he's fucking good to alternate that style with the mid growls! yet sometimes they could sound like a hard rock techno band. But their melodic style of death metal is really great in this live presentation! You do want to taste this don't you?? Go ahead, Contact the Polish Piglet at Poisonous Piglet Distribution, c/o Zawilinski Wojciech, ul. Polna 2 d. 39-200 Debica, Poland.  zawsgal@hotmail.com  < Sample: Track#12 "VICTORIOUS, EVERLASTING" > Full track is 4:11 min.
ILLUMINANDI "Demo 1" 4 tracks of Illuminating metal? According to their bio, they started in 1998 but consider 1999 as 'the real beginning' & recorded this demo in 2000. It is also stated that the lyrics are mostly based on the bible, so I don't know if this is christian/gospel metal or in your face blasphemy! With the lyrics all written in Polish, I can't really fucking tell! They are musically great mixing the violin & cello with the band playing a thrashy heaviness, yet sometimes they have that they sound psychedelic rock band with the straight vocals. Still they could put some catchy parts & I always like when the violin & cello play along with the thrashy guitars riffs, no man not fucking mellow. My complain is the straight vox, even though they have experimentations with it, this would probably sound better. Last track entitle 'Alleluja', mmmm I wonder what the hell is that about? I didn't like the female vox here too & the over all music & approach of this track. Musically good except for the last track, but for dark black demented metal folks...think twice!!! Contact Poisonous Piglet Distribution or the band: Alek Koziol, ul. Lysogorska 20/33, 39-200 Debica, Poland.

CHARNEL HOUSE "From Birth to Burial" 10 song CD - From their bio they seem to be playing for a long time & this release is somehow looks like a come back release. They play more into thrash but with added complexities of heavy metal, some added groove & speed.

Of Blood And Bone 2. Number 13 3. Tale of Murder 4. The Final Scream 5. Scars 6. Terrorist 7. Birth of a Monster 8. No Reason to Die 9. Dance of the Dead 10. Comatose in a Coffin.

IMPETIGO "Giallo" 13 song CD - A re-release of their previous stuff, but the sound is a bit different. It's crispier & as raw a maggots on rotting flesh!!! There are more to read in the cover about explanations & concepts of the release & each of the songs. I can't say more about this 'coz I'm a fucking fan of this band & corpses keeps on turning out everywhere every time I listen to their music. So for new gore fans who missed them out & to cult fans as well! What the hell you waiting for? Oh this one includes a vocal-less version of 'I work for the street cleaner', hmm.. you can use that to test your impetigored friend how much he knows the lyrics or you use it your self, an impetigo karaoke tune!!! Arigatoo Gozaimashita Mark for the stuff! Contact Stevo at Yoshiki89@aol.com & this is available from Half-Life Records, P.O. Box 5160, Hacienda Heights, CA 91745-0160, USA.

NEODAWN  PRODUCSTIONS GERMANIA Label Promo Sampler #2, Summer 2001 - 15 tracks from 3 bands that this label has been unleashing to the world! 6 tracks from Vinterriket (Ger) who is a one man project of dark atmospheric sound scapes, 6 tracks from Necroplasma (Swe)  including an intro (great one too!) & an outro for their fast & brutal black / death attack & 3 tracks from Kharon (Nor), a more subdued death metal with tempo changes & mid paced metal approach & dual vocals. All of these are taken from each bands demo CD, Vinterriket's "Sturme der letzten Stille" demo 2001, Necroplasma's S/T demo 2001 & Kharon's "The Fullmoon Curse" demo 2001. Contact Neodawn Productions about more info & how to get these stuff! C/o Chistoph Ziegler, Pfarrer- Striebel- Weg 11, 88471 Laupheim/ Untersulmetingen Germania. neodawnproductions@ngi.de neodawnproductions@hotmail.com http://www.go.to/neodawnproductions 
VINTERRIKET Promo 2001 - 11 tracks, including a cover of Burzum. This is a one man project/band. One would think this is just another synth atmospheric stuff, well yes. Synth, keyboards, drum programming are used to create a dark atmosphere that the very few are willing to wander into. I personally do listen to this form  of music that is not truly metal in form but connected to it in the sense of darkness. All tracks are in german. Vinterriket's sound scapes have a touch of ancient dark feelings, but the male vocal fall short in attempting to equal that. Is he holding something back? The guest female vocals helped a bit. If you enjoy cold & dark atmospheres, this is for you. If the vocal could progress & become more dark & evil, fuck! This would be totally awesome & could become one of the best in this genre!! Get this from Neodawn Productions Germania.
MAELSTROM666 COMPILATION TAPE#2 - 16 tracks of true underground compilation! This is from Thailand but the musick are from all over the world & styles are of metal salad that I like, Death, brutal death, grind death & Black Metal.

It has a full color cover. The only I will complain is that the bands names, addressess & track titles were written cyan & red over a black on white artwork of a hindu deity (is that shiva?) which makes it hard to read! I have a fucked up vision, which makes it harder for me. After patience of trying to read everything, hell you will enjoy the musick! This is US$5.00 World / 4 US$ Asia, or ask Phithak Phansri for more details & availability.  Contact him at: Satun Highway District, Kettri, Muang, Satun, 91140 Thailand. phithak_p@hotmail.com

DYING EMBRACE "Serenades of Depravity" - 12 track tape release. I don't know if this is a new material from the band 'coz it seems that this release includes either parts of whole of their other release. The tape sleeve indicates tracks 1~3 from Grotesque ep, 4~9 from Serenades of Depravity & 10~12 from Dying Embrace demo. Anyway, this guys are from India, one of the  countries I would least expect to have a death or even just a metal band. This tape came form Phithak & they were also interviewed in Maelstrom666 zine. So Thanks Phithak for trading this. Anyway, their music is a mixture of some people would call 'old school' or the 1st face of death,  has that thrashy feel & melodic changes into a midpaced death approach. Guitars are more into heavy metal groove w/ guitar lick prog acid trippings style. Vocals are guttural yet screechy. You can get that amidst the not so very good recording of the tape, 'coz what I got is a bit low even when you turn up the volume. So you really need to push that volume!!! Don't expect to hear hindu traditional instruments or mantra! This is totally fucking great death metal from India! You can get this from Phitak of Maelstrom666 Productions or Contact the band: Vikram Bhat, Ullas Refreshments, 1st Floor, P.U Building, M.G. Road, Bangalore - 560 001 India. slaytan_666@yahoo.com 
MORTALIZED / GUILTY CONNECTOR - 3 track collaboration tape. You might ask "What the hell do you mean collaboration tape?", well 1st I too am confused 'coz here is what's written in the sleeve,  "side.A. MORTALIZED / GUILTY CONNECTOR side.B. GUILTY CONNECTOR / MORTALIZED", then the 3 titles "1. Nine 2. Bound to Kill 3. Refusion". Then the addresses & other stuff. It seems that Guilty Connector is only one person responsible for the fucking noize!!! This is truly a fucked noized-up grind fucking core! You know the drug addicts who always have to double or increase their dosage of drug intake just to go over the previous high, well, if grind core ain't noisy enough for you or you want feel a different jolt, this will fucking do it!! Totally harsh hizzed up noise altered grind core!!! For noise grind freaks only!!! If you guess they are from Japan, you are totally right! Another proof how the Japanese perfected the art of Grind!!

DAMAGED DIGITAL / BASTARBATION - split / collaboration tape. Damaged Digital on side A has 6 tracks of great mosh-pit hungry crusty grind! Dual vocals attacks & drum, guitars, grind assault yet they managed to put in some groove & tempo changes!! Also have tracks where the vocals turned into a really angry, crazed punkster! Aaaarrghgghhhh... This will grind you to pieces!!! Bastarbation  is track less on side B. How would I describe Bastarbation...mmm...you know the robots on Star Wars, imagine those robots into grind/noise & got al heywired & busted!!! Pure electronica dementia! Some tracks do have some guitars & vocals & have that punk attitude. So is this Cyber Grind Noise!!! maybe! They are all from..where else..the Grind Nation! Japan!!!

HERETIC ANGELS "VISIONS OF CALAMITY" CD - 12 tracks. I traded this copy from Envoy Death of Cherish the Darkness Zine also from Thailand. The name alone attracks me. Well anyway, the music with in the CD is a made from thrash death with great leads & tempo changes. I like the tracks 1 ~ 5 in speed thrash death, tracks 6,7,8 have that groovy sound & vocals are like shouted medium growl, tracks 9 & 10 are nice with the leads & intros, 11 & 12 i think are live tracks & I like the vocals & music, raw & blackish! I don't know if there is a change in line-up with in the recording of this release. I have no info on how to get this, so please contact Envoy Death of Cherish the Darness Zine at 125 Moo.5 (Soi Watson), Suksawat 35, Raj Burana, Bangkok 10140, Thailand or try heretic@trust-me.com.

More will be uploaded soon....

SERBERUS "Our Dying Grace" CD - 5 tracks including intro. 1. Proloque 2. Our Dying Grace 3. Dark Dream 4. Ancient Throne 5. Curse the Gods. They describe their music as "Aggressive Melodic Death Metal" but then again...I thinkk it is just a part it. They play a Blackened Melodic Thrash Death Metal!!! You can easily hear it, the Blackish Metal vocals with sometime a more low growls to give more accent on the brutality, with the thrashing speed yet they have full control when they want it slow, melodicity of the European bands! Plus the great production! with additionals effects of thunder, rain, horses & maybe knights in battle! Hell any metal head can easily dig this, you can either mosh or bang your filthy heads!!! This CD release also includes 2 videos of their gig, that you can view in your PC or Mac. Plus their sold out 1st EP in MP3 format! Not only that, their biography in Web format. What the fuck! Aren't they so fucking nice! Contact: Serberus 3550 Everett Dr. Boulder, CO 80305 USA http://www.serberus.com   info@serberus.com 
Serberus "In Eternity" : 1st EP included in their "Our Dying Grace" CD. Tracks are 1. Ancient Throne 2. Dark Dream 3. In Eternity 4. Gates of Fire. Here they sound raw even though still have that thrash speed not in the same pace as "Our..". Though I found the vocals more diabolical! The blackish vocals is there but it is echoed or shadowed by a diabolical growl!!! Only some drum parts sounds weird. yup the doubles bass is thin! There are melodic passages that just gives it a darker feeling! No wonder this demo got sold out! Who the fuck cares! You can still get it with their new release!! Contact 'em!!!
Serberus "Gates of Fire" & "In Eternity" Gig Video - This 2 are in *.avi files included in their "Our Dying Grace" CD. If you are a regular computer user you'll know how to play this, but to those, well, there is an instructions from the CD anyway. This videos shows they're black nature as the vocalist is in corpse paint drenched in blood and those spiked leathers in his arms! Plus inverted crosses on the stage! The show is fucking dark & seems as if it is full of smoke but you can still see the crowd in the front moshing & headbanging in responses to the brutality they are receiving!
FUNERAL FROST Rehearsal tape : This is a 4 track rehearsal tape, & as most rehearsal tape the recording quality is not that good. But still it has shown the talents of these black metal band. They are not your fast & raw type but have that atmospheric & a bit gothic feel but you will be a bit surprised too 'coz they don't use any keys! So they created it more on melodious guitar passages, excellent drumming skill & vocals at not-so screeching BM style + a slightly used low growl! Their name fits their style 'coz I found their music cold & gloomy! in a mid-paced speed black metal way! Contact: Baalberith aka Joven Hubo, B5 L6 Bergantinos, Magsaysay, San Pedro, Laguna 4023 Philippines.
GRIDLOCK CD-R Demo #2 : This is a good rap metal with some catchy riff & tempo changes. But definitely bad for me. Aaarrgghhh...this is a bit torturous for me trying to find nice thing about a music I hate! I can relate a bit to the music of down tuned metal but with the rap groove & vocals, I totally get irritated! Alexander of "In Dark Purity" zine gave this, he is a member of this band but he is also in another band, he said they play DeathMetal. Man I wish you gave that rather than this. Sorry man but I can't review the other cd-r. I'll watch out for your zine & your other band though!!!! My mind is totally shut!!! Contact: Alexander Dela Cruz 657 San Francisco St., Poblacion, Las Pinas.
DREAM "Mistly Landscapes of Lunar Nights" Demo Tape : They are one my favorite unsigned bands today for they create awesome masterpieces in the Dark Metal Realm!!! This is their 3rd demo & as before they have amazed me!!! Now they have soundscaped another realm...I found more agression & complexity in metal style here than in their previous release but it is still infused in a dream like state..The vocals have changed specially the eerie whispers but nevertheless they have come up with the same effect. This is progression in the path of their previous style which makes them truthfull to what they are all about!!! Tracks are 1. Fear... 2. To One in Paradise 3. Path to the sources of Oracle 4. Ocean of Sleepy Dreams 5. Scent of the Forest phantoms 6. Lake of Tears in the Lost Valey of sadness 7. Way to Stars. The tracks are actually in Soundscape - Dark Metal alternate. Contact: Dream & Nightspirit c/o Tadeusz Studniarczyk, 97-500 Radomsko, ul. Mita 8/27, Poland. dream@obywatel.pl  http://www.dreamart.hg.pl 
PATHOGEN "Invoking Disease" 4 track demo tape : but wait a minute, It seems I only heard 3? Is my copy fucked up? Any way they describe their music as 'real death metal' in the veins of Autopsy, Celtic Frost, Onslaught & some local bands. I would never or rarely use the 'in veins' formula, in this case I still wouldn't. Maybe that's their influences? Anyway they do play death meatal, or more people would get it if they read 'old school'! Yes, not the ultra fucked extreme type but more metal based, back to the basic you would say with a slightly growled out vocals & they are quite good at it! Contact: ERWIN JAVIER, #15 Bo. Sn. Ildefonso, Alaminos, Laguna 4001 Philippines. Erwin will also be doing "Dead Reckoning" Zine.
NARCOTIC GREED "Premium After the Millenium" : This is a two track advance tape (1: Esper 2: Mega Suckman ) of these thrash metal maniacs. The tape sleeve says 'Not For Sale' so I don't know how the hell you gonna get this, maybe when you order something from JackHammer Music Japan or contact Warzy for info! This will probably be included in their new release that they are working on, so watch out! Ugh I haven't describe the music yet..it is a bit more complex than their previous release from "Twicet of Fate" but the style is definitely N.G.! The high pitch voice, the leads & more straight forward speed! Contact: WARZY at sen6666@aol.com  
 
INCARION "Blasphemiak" Demo tape : 5 tracks ( 1. The End of Holiness 2. Diabolical Conquest Under Descending Dark Clouds 3. Rising of the Blackened Realm 4. Beneath the face of the Fallen <sampler> 5. Conquer the Throne <rehearsal>) This is recorded in 1997 in a 4 track studio, as Darkkon have mentioned, no mixing, so it's like a live recording, WYHIWYG style (What You Hear Is What You Get)! And this is raw & fast Black Metal attack!! Unrelenting blasphemy that is!! With melody changes that doesn't quite affect the speed & vocals that is as raw as the music! Ready to fucking bite!!!! Contact: Darkkon C. Vbattleshriek at Darkkon@edsamail.com.ph  or Lucifernicus at relie.hinojosa@imagineasia.com.ph  for more info!
FRIENDSHIP 7 "Glow" Demo tape : What a bit wierd name for a metal band? Well, this is not a metal band, they are a punk band! So what do you expect from a punk band, socio-personal-political stuff! Since it has been a very long time when I listened to punk music, this is quite good but they are not much angry or hatecores that I like, but the vocals have that tendency. But some tracks here have that punk thrash attitudes, other have that regae sound. Anyway this is a little rest for my ears, and let the truth be known, I would rather listen to this or other punk music rather that [C]rap Metal!!! To any punks who got lost in my pages or you wan't to experience a different kind contact: Alexander G. Garingo, #7 Flores St., Brgy Espelata II, Bahayang Pag-Asa Subd., Imus, Cavite 4103 Philippines. AGaringo@yahoo.com .
VICTIM "Cocktail Of Brutality" - 10 tracks in CD? I really don't know the original format of this release, I got this tape copy from Roel Of Tripalium Zine when he was here last December. I think he is in contact with this band. Not telling about the brutality of this band will be a funcking loss to the death metal world! And what is the cocktail made of? Well, an intro maybe from some movie, Serial License, Bloodshed, Lust Love & Morgue, Dead Man Walking, Differences, Jesus Died Under My Wheels, The Other Way of Defloration, Life is Cold Like the Winter, Homicide. There are also some horror samplings in other tracks which I always luv! At a guttural voice in two tones w/ occasional thin growls and non-stop metal atrocity with good tempo shift, Fuck! What the hell would you want!!! Contact: Victim c/o Andreas Böhmer, Dr. Hermann-Korber, STR. 17, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany.
PURGATORY "Blessed With Falmes of Hate" - 9 tracks in CD? Again I have no fucking idea 'coz this is again from Roel of Tripalium! And this band is from Germany. Fuck I'm thinking Germany is holding back on many good brutal fucking bands!! This is Darkened Evil Death Metal!  Tracks are 1. Damned & Betrayed 2. Visions Beyond Light 3. The Daimonion 4. March of the Eminent Beast 5. Pharynx of Evil 6. Captured Souls 7. Blessed with Flames 8. In Blasphemy 9. ...And Blood Flows. They play Mid-paced to Brutal blasting with 2 vocal attack!!! Contact Purgatory c/o Rene Kögel, Hauptstr. 63, 01683 Nossen, Germany.
THE RAVENOUS "Assembled in Blasphemy" CD - 10 tracks of Horrific Death Metal! How the hell can you go wrong when members of Necrophagia (Killjoy), Autopsy (Chris Reifert) & SOD (Dan Lilker) got together & created these musicks!!! Although it seems another 'grandeur project' of such mentioned acts, this is awesome! Specially for me who are really into sick horror fucked musick!!! The Cover alone greets you & you began to smile as if you know the brutally demented musick you are about to hear! Tracks are 1. Shrieks of the Mutilated 2. Dead Cut Up & Ready to Fuck 3. Orgy in Dogs Blood 4. Feasting From the Womb 5. Keep My Grave Open 6. Assembled in Blasphemy 7. Perverted Before God 8. Hallucination of a Deranged Mind 9. Ageless Existence 10. Annointing the Worms. These definitely not for the Weak!!!! What I like about Horror Gore Metal is that they are not actually confined in a metal style, yeah it's death metal but they use anything to make you feel the gore & horror, they can blast beat or give you a slow death with all the twisted vocals they can blurted out plus the movie intros you couldn't hardly find in your cinemas! This is a very good example of what the hell I am saying! Just to give you Horror Horror & Fucking Twisted Horror!!! This out from HammerHeart but I traded for this with JackHammer Japan. So if you are in Asia/Japan you can order it at JHJ or contact Hammerheart! Fucking Wicked & Demented!!!!
MACABRE "Dahmer" CD - 26 tracks of not just Murder Metal! But Psycho filled frenzy with dark & looney musick! This is like a biographical musicale of the life of the Cannibal Serial Psycho Killer Mr. Jeffrey Damher! And Macabre have showed their side of mental insanity! This is like a theatric art where you sang about somethings instead of just telling it, & the looney dark comical side that they brought never really took away the brutality but just tells more about their sick & twisted mind! You rally need to fucking hear it & you'll probably not just grin! I'm even singing some of these song at work & my new co-workers looks at me in an odd way! This is totalt psycho shit speciallty the vocals! As if a man just fucking flipped out & couldn't control his vocal tone! Hell you can never trust a man with that voice!!! Be aware of the psychos in you neighborhood or buy this, at least if they heard it you are listening to this musick they'll say you're a fucking Psycho!!! This is also out from HammerHeart Records but again, I traded this one from JackHammer Music Japan!
EXCESS OF CRUELTY "Under the Ivy of Ithamar" CD - 10 tracks of Dark Metal 1. The Dreamweaver's Illusion 2. Wafts From Birch And Briar Breath 3. The Reaper of the Harvest 4. Fionnuala 5. Nangara 6. Beholding The Crimson Tide 7. When at Eventide 8. Under The Ivy of Ithamar 9. Solemn Sounds Of The Soul 10. Northern Shekinah Light. These guys are from Belgium, I have contact one of their member before way back in 1992 if I am right & they were actually part of my original "Opus Dei..." compilation. I'm damn glad I chanced upon this CD from JackHammer Japan. They have progressed a lot!!! in speed & everything musical!! But they are still in the Mystical ways the way I found them! Topics of ancient civilization & mysticism. Now with dual vocals alternately joining the music of mystical brutality!!! Melodious Dark Metal! With a solemn approach in Track#7 were a beautiful yet not angelic female vocals sang for the whole track. This is from Wood Nymph but WorldWide Distro by HammerHeart & again traded with JackHammer Music Japan.
NUCLEAR DEATH "Carrion for Worms / Bride of Insects" CD-R - Do you still remember this band! One of the demented & twisted evil death metal you can find in early 90's with a sick female vocals! not like the mellow ladies out there! Well, they are not actually back but someone have released a CD-R copy of their previous releases, combined! I only wished they put an address where Lori is now...If you fucking missed the early days, Hell! This is your bloody chance! I got this from JackHammer Music Japan but probably out in a distro near you!

HORDE OF WORMS "WORMAGEDDON" CD - 4 tracks 1: Immortal Coil 2: Under Blood Red Skies 3: Wormageddon 4: Dead (v.2000). These Canadians is giving the acronym BM with a new meaning, that is Blast Metal!! That's how they label their musick and it's blast blast blast!!! It is actually grinding death metal in fluctuating mode. The drums are inhumanly programmed and 3 guitars shreds you 3 dimensionally!! 2 vocals with a thin throaty sound like black metallish even! and the low guttural. Try mixing grind black death & speed metal  & put that blender in hyperblast! But the (v.2000) totally changed that. At track 4 there will be a dead silence but don't turn off your cd player 'coz it ain't over. (v.2000) is a droned version! Doomy yet sick, kinda synthetic in nature! I don't know if they played it that way or just altered an original recording! A fucking twisted form!!!  The Worms are *Alexander Erhardt: Guitars / Back Vocals / Programming * Brent Assoun: Guitars / Backing Vocals * Gord McCubbin: Bass Guitars * Peter Cythrawl: Lead Vokills & Throat Violence * and have been blasting metal since 1996.

Doomer: Vocals / Guitars * Risto Kivioja a. Ricki: Solo guitars / Backing Vocals * Jukka Hoffrén a. Hofu blacK: Bass / Backing Vocals * Toni Toivila a. Tony. They say they play 'hard rock' in the spirit of 80's & 90's. Well, I don't know about the Finnish 'Rock' music 'coz they don't sound like the 'hard rock' that is more well known, the 'American Hard Rock'. I personally would not say this is Hard Rock! I would still categorized them into heavy/power metal. The music are memorable & lyrics are well thought of. You can sing a long in the 2nd or 3rd listen and even nod along, OK you can still bang your head!

They are Ted Aguilar: Guitars * Joe Biagini: Guitars * Badger: Bass * Danny Stevenson: Drums * Chris Dinsmore: Vocals * Brett Crane: Keyboards / Backing Vocals * These guys are from the bay area and they play babe music?? Hell no! I thinks this is a part of what the Americans call the 'New Metal'. But this is not [C]rap Metal I tell you! This is Heavy Groove Laced Rock Metal! They have taken away the bit doomy style, this is a bit angry & still emotional, like socio-personal stuff!!!  This is available from the band, contact them: SIFT, 25125 Santa Clara St., #198, Hayward, CA 94544-2109 USA 510.264.1970 http://www.siftinfo.com hatemail@siftinfo.com

Blackened Dark Metal does not fully describe this. This is Symphonic (even theatrical in some parts) Melodious Black Metal! Keys are used to elaborate the dark atmosphere and the speed is at mid-paced, not blasting away! Vocals are of your mid-toned BM & a Haunting  growl vox. Of the 9 tracks #1, 4, 6 are instrumental, actually they sound more like intros, dark as they are. Other stuff like samplings/effects are added to keep the darkness. They might sound European 'coz that's where this style boomed but they are Americans! OK you'll ask why or 12 tracks? Well, they have 12 tracks but only 9  title tracks. The 10th track is just thunders & rain, 11th & 12th is some creepy haunting samplings. Get this from ROOT OF ALL EVIL RECORDS. 636 N. Snelling Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104 USA http://www.rootofallevil.com root@rootofallevil.com . This copy was actually given by Roel of Tripalium Zine. Thanks man!!!
HAGALAZ' RUNEDANCE "ON WINGS OF RAPTURE" CD - 2 tracks? Well yeah & nope! It's one song in 2 versions. 1: On Wings of Rapture 2: On Wings of Rapture (Vision of Skuld). I do listen to non-metal music especially those dark & have that medieval magickal feel in it. This is a sampler taken form their full length "Volven". I enjoy the 1st track, sounds a bit celtic & shamanistic! Beautiful I would say, like a music from the ancient times...but the 2nd? Fuck it!!! It sounded like techno shit disco crap!!! There is a conflict of interest there, a filthy desecration of the 1st track!!! This makes me think, is the "Volven" worth it??? This is from HAMMERHEART RECORDS http://www.hammerheart.com E-mail: hhr@hammerheart.com
MASTERS OF MURDER TOUR 2001 Sampler CD - 2 tracks from each of these bands : Macabre / Broken Hope / Die Apokalyptishen Reiter / Severe Torture that totals to 8 plus 1 track from each: Aeternus & Throneaeon.
