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.

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

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

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.

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

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. Contact: Decapitated@eudoramail.com

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

 FLATULATION ( Split EP w/ Atavism

SOLDABLEURKTHAL Grind Hell ride is

a hoggish vocals! yeah, I don't know how they get that pig squeal sound
as vocals! A fucking inhuman sound! They have some french samplings,
burps, even some rock & roll sound, but totality of all the 21

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

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

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

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

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. The
vocals reminds me of NY hatecores & crust, it's growly &
decipherable yet it sounds being shouted out. The music is not
predictable which makes it interesting & enjoyable. The tracks are:
1. 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. Contact: Charnel

"Giallo" 13 song CD - A re-release of their previous
stuff, but the sound is a bit different. It's crispier & as raw a

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

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

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!!

Horde of Worms (Can), Absemia (Arg), Decapitated (Phil), Mortuary
Ancestor (Mal), Zombie Holocaust (Hun) & Basilisk (Jpn). 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!

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

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

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

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 "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:

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:

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:

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:

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

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

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:

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:

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

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

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"

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

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! For more info & how to get this release go to: http://go.to/HOLOCAUST

Badger: Bass * Danny Stevenson: Drums * Chris Dinsmore: Vocals * Brett
Crane: Keyboards / Backing Vocals * These guys are from the bay area and

Americans call the 'New Metal'. But this is not [C]rap Metal I tell you!

doomy style, this is a bit angry & still emotional, like
socio-personal stuff!!! This is available from the band, contact

THEATRE OF THE MACABRE
"A PARADISE IN FLESH & BLOOD" CD - 9 (or 12?) tracks
of blackened dark metal! 1: A prelude Unto Infernal Resurrection. 2: A
Paradise in Flesh & Blood. 3: Bathed in the Blood of Angels 4:
Bequeathed Archaic Lore 5: Forsaken in The Garden of Earthly Delights.
6: What Wicked Web She Weaves 7: Enraptured by Temptation. 8: Through
the Eyes of the Serpent. 9: Enthroned in the Halls of Martyrdom.
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

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
