Οι  Dead In The Manger μου θύμισαν  πως παίζεται το καλό Black/Death ,που το είχα αφήσει στην «απ’ έξω» καιρό τώρα. Tα κιθαριστικά μέρη του δίσκου αλλά και τα blastbeats είναι Black Metal αλλά κάποια επιτηδευμένα φαλτσέτα και κοφτά ριφς σε κάνουν να αναπολείς Death metal μεγαλεία. Θα μπορούσα να τον χαρακτηρίσω NeoBlack δίσκο όσο και αν –άδικα- σε ξενίζει η λέξη.

The Dead in the Manger reminded me how the exceptional Black/Death is, something i had left aside for a while. The guitaristic parts of the album and the blastbeats are Black Metal, but some exquisite falsetto and short played riffs make you recall Death Metal greatness. I could call him Neoblack album, no matter how unfair might the word be.

Hi everyone sorry for no writing more, I was a bit busy.
I'm here again with my favourite style of hardcore. No muscles,no macho, not "pumped" hardcore. Shameless from the south of italy, with very cool backing vocals, melodic riffs and melancholic songs. A really great release this self titled.
In addition, they play a lot of live shows so,why not, you will probably find them one day in your city (or book them!)
"Senza vergogna" is their personal hymn and has rad lyrics: < Retake everything, renounce the worst,                                                                                             I’m fed with hate, love and dissent wild. I’m reborn like a phoenix with its heart as hostage.>
but "Eroe" is my favourite.
Here you can buy the LP.

South italian hardcore is better than everything (joking!)

9. Bruine

Download 

Αυτό που απ την μια  οι Deluge είναι εσωστρεφής μπάντα και μέσα σε δευτερόλεπτα αλλάζει το σκηνικό σε ορμητικό χείμαρρο , πολύ με πωρώνει . Είναι επίσης περίεργο πoυ, ambient ατμόσφαιρα συναντά Hardcore riffs χωρίς το αποτέλεσμα να είναι κιτς . Το βασικότερο στοιχείο του δίσκου είναι το νερό ,πράγμα που κάνει τον ήχο ρευστό κάτω από το δέρμα σου.

I really enjoy the tranformation of the Deluge. The same moment that they are  they torpid seem to explode like a fierce torrent. What is also strange is when ambient atmosphere meets hardcore riffs without turning the outcome odd. The feature of the album is the water, making the sound flow beneath your skin.

Murg - Varg & Björn (2015)

Genre: Black Metal

Country Of Origin: Sweden (Stockholm?)

Tracklisting :

01. Vindarna Luktar Rök

04. Massvandring & Blodbad

05. Den Starkes Rätt

06. Farsoternas Afton

07. Varg & Björn

08. Ett Slut, Ingen Början

Download 

Οι Murg δείχνουν μεγάλο σεβασμό στην Black Metal ιστορία. Φρενήρεις ρυθμοί , θρηνητικά φωνητικά και οι φλεγόμενες μπότες να έχουν την τιμητική τους εδώ.  Η επιθετική διάθεση και η έκταση  του δίσκου προέρχεται απ’ την ηχώ.  Σαν κάτι που πλησιάζει απειλειτικα .Ο λύκος και η αρκούδα (Varg & Björn) δεν θα μπορούσαν να συνδυάζονται καλυτέρα.A Roar from the woods.

The Murg show great respect to the history of Black Metal. Rythms in frenzy, mourning vocals and the boots on fire, all play a leading part. The aggressive mood and the album range come from the echo. Like something approaches in a threatening way. The wolf and the bear (Varg & Björn) couldn't combine better.A Roar from the woods.

 Οι Ragana είναι χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα μπάντας πoυ πειραματίζεται και πετυχαίνει.  Οι εναλλαγές καφρίλας και μελωδικότητας είναι χαοτικές.  Η διμελής παρέα εκεί που σε μαγεύει με ψηλά φωνητικά  και lowtempo ήχους σε φρενάρει με τα ασήκωτα ρίφς και brutal φωνητικα. Συνολικά πολύ καλές με έντονα εσωστρεφή ματιά  , female power !

The Ragana is a typical case of the band keen on experimenting and succeeding. The changesbetween no rule and exceptional melody are chaotic. This 2 person company seduces youwith high and low tempo vocals and guides you to powerful rifs and brutal vocals. As a total,very good having self-centered characteristics, female power!!!

But now let me introduce you an amazing release of this year. Vvvlv and Void Forger split. They are our friends by this time and I'm honoured to talk of them. This stone comes first with a lot of sludgy doom and heavy voice: Vvvlv. I think they have a lot of resources that will show us time by time. Void Forger, of course, took care of graphics and stuffs and their track is totally rad. What to say more? Just listen to it (and read lyrics!).

Mε έναν απ τους αγαπημένους δίσκους της χρονιάς που μας πέρασε ξεκινάω το 2016. Οι Olten είναι απ τα συγκροτήματα που σε κάνουν να κουνάς ρυθμικά το κεφάλι σου απ το πρώτο έως το τελευταίο λεπτό. Αυτό το Post – Doom –Sludge ύφος είναι μια ευθύβολη σφαίρα στο μέλλον της μουσικής. 

Καλή χρονιά RAB-Metalers.

Cuscuta – Fodder for the Callous (2015)

Genre: Atmospheric black metal,

Country Of Origin: Colorado, America

Tracklisting:


1. Rented Room (9:23)

2. The Last Graveyard (20:23)

3. A Screw Fell to the Ground (14:50)

4. On My Deathbed (5:56)



download



There are albums that you know will be fantastic immediately. Fodder for the Callous sends chills into your ears right from the first song’s intro. The atmosphere on this album is like a thick, black fog so bleak and all-consuming that you think you’ll never see the light again—absolutely suffocating. You can feel the crushing despair and darkness seeping into your body through the entire four songs.
All of this is an extremely poignant reminder of the world we live in. Cuscuta’s concept for this album was to take four poems by Xu Lizhi and put them to music. No one knows better than Xu Lizhi of the abysmal vice called capitalism that is constricting the necks of the world and driving the life out of our bodies. After writing some fantastically depressing poetry, Xu Lizhi committed suicide because of the horrible life he led as a factory worker for Foxconn. Dylan’s music perfectly emulates the moods that Xu Lizhi portrays in his poetry. His haunting screams belt out the defeated lyrics like in “A Screw Fell to the Ground” : “A screw fell to the ground / in this dark night of overtime / plunging vertically, lightly clinking / it won’t attract anyone’s attention / just like last time / on a night like this / when someone plunged to the ground.“
Fodder for the Callous is filled with haunting guitar work, both distorted and clean, and none of it is remotely uplifting at all. The only song that breaks this mood ever so slightly is the finale, “On My Deathbed,” which I interpret as the feeling of relief that death brings an end to suffering. If you’re in an anti-capitalist mood, this is the perfect album for you. If you’re in any other mood, this album will bring you where you need to be to enjoy the music. Haunted, tortured, angry, depressed, and feeling helpless, Cuscuta has created a masterpiece with this album. Though 2015 had some amazing albums, none of them touched me as profoundly as this one. Turn on Fodder for the Callous and you won’t regret it; you’ll only regret that it makes you feel like you’re perpetually driving to work, stuck in a traffic jam before you even get there, surrounded by a dark mist that you can never escape, and starting to choke.

Interview with Iprit

Here are almost 2 pm and there 9 pm.
Siberia.
The cold.
-20 celsium degrees.
I have the luck to speak with one of my favourite band ever : Iprit.


Me: Hi Oleg how are you? We saw Iprit hold on for some months. Are them alive?

Iprit: Hi my friend. I'm fine thanks. Iprit are alive but we will not play live, I guess. For next year we plan to record some new songs. I can't say when and how much songs. The only thing I know for sure is we are not going to stop.


Me: A really great news for us! Are you playing with other bands meanwhile?

Iprit: I have two projects. Клонирование Овцы(Sheep Cloning), a crust band, but I'm not sure about  the future of this one because the guitarist who composed everything lives in another city nowadays. So we just made one recording to remember those songs and to let them no disappeared.
And the second one is Solar Kite. This is an electronic project, something like dark ambient or dark wave; but with some black metal influences. At least people say that. We released an album in october and we work on new songs and prepare for a live show.


Me: Very cool! Would you tell us something about political situation of Siberia?

Iprit: No squat over here. At least in Siberia. Maybe I just do not know about squats in this city or nearby. But it's not that easy to squat places when your winter lasts for 5 months. I'm not sure if it's worth it. It would be cool to have an autonomic zone inside a state, but that's not worth it to have all of troubles if you can spent your time for something you can really do instead wasting time for nothing.


Me: Yeah.. You're right.. Hope it will change soon. What about music there?

Iprit: I think ther are more bands in neighbor cities Novosibirsk and Tomsk. Some of local bands are well-known in Russia. I Witness, Neverending Winter for example. New bands also coming up.


Me: Thanks to share them with us.

Iprit: Just one thing before the end. I wish you to keep your eyes and mind opened. We usually see only what we want see but world is more complicated than we think. And remember that everything has its end.


Me: Really thanks. I will carry this forever with me.

Iprit: My pleasure.

"Absconding Into Twilight" is my favourite track.

Sentimen Beltza - Pagopean (2015)

Ύμνος στον θάνατο. Έτσι θα μπορούσε να χαρακτηριστεί το Pagopean. Ο Oindurth SaVinitta φαίνεται να έχει περάσει πολλά βραδιά μονός του ακούγοντας την νεκρική ησυχία της φύσης.  Το φόντο πίσω απ τις κλασσικές Black Metal συνθέσεις κάνει την διάφορα και δίνει μια τέλεια  επίγευση .

Ode to death. That’s how Pagopean be characterized. Oindurth SaVinitta seems to have passed many nights alone listening to death silence of nature. The background behind the classic Black Metal compositions makes the difference and gives the perfect aftertaste.

Twilight Fauna - Shadows of Ancestors [2015]

Country Of Origin: Johnson City, Tennessee

Genre: Black Metal

Tracks:

1. Helical Rising
2. Boring the Auger
3. Meadows Afire
4. Purging of Spring
5. Cave of Kelpius (Women of the Wild)
6. Coffin Nails and Apple Trees


download


Twilight Fauna are back with their fifth album. Complete with densely layered guitars, minimalist drums, haunting vocals, acoustic folk, and gorgeous tin whistle, this full-length will have you immersing yourself in a cold Appalachian pond fed by a roaring waterfall. Paul always manages to wrap you completely with atmosphere. This album is no exception. As with most of Twilight Fauna's releases, this one teeters on the border between black metal and a kind of heavily distorted dark ambient. But the sound is not all bleak. The addition of folk guitars and tin whistle offer a lighter and more delicate side to this thick atmospheric mountain fog. If you're searching for some really unique black metal, that has no need for blast beats, check out Shadows of Ancestors. Paul is an organizer of the Crushing Intolerance Anti-NSBM charity compilations, so you know his heart is in the right place as well.
Buy it!

Interview with Escvro

Good news from The Dark Skies Above Us Collective.
A new compilation will be released soon and a lot of new bands join the alliance.

In the last days I had the fortune of meet a very great and kvlt man: Escvro.
This is some of what we said.

Me: What's the age of escvro?

Escvro: Escvro is a very young project, was founded in later 2014, has just 1 year.


Me: How we can name what you play?

Escvro: I have an anarchist approach towards music production and distribution, but I'm not what you'd call a "political anarchist". As well as, Escvro doesn't deals directly with politics in its lyrics. Escvro is a non-profit, anti-commercial and anti-mainstream project, but its lyrical themes are, mainly, nihilism and existentialism.


Me: Can you tell me more about your anti-commercial idea?

Escvro: I had that anti-commercial movement idea because the "mainstream logic" is infiltrating the underground. I think the underground should be completely opposed to the mainstream, not just including the music itself, but its distribution. Here in my area there is a good underground scene, but I think it's a little expansive to attend shows and buy band's stuff, so I decided to make things a little different.

Me: When u will release something more?

Escvro: I'll release an EP in january of 2016.


Meanwhile let's listen his EP's...

download

Regnvm Animale are back with an excellent album. The Jens and Jörgen duo are in full stride with this album. Their crusty black metal / blackened crust is spiced up through their unique use of melody. The melodic side of Et Sic In Infinitum is so refreshing in a genre that’s so concerned with “atmosphere” that it sometimes forgets to utilize lead lines. I love how Regnvm Animale songs always twist and turn through alternating twin guitar lead lines and just straight awesome riffs. Their signature guitars and vocal style are really their own. The blend really captured me after the initial listen. I can see where the band got their influences from, but their music stands out and entrances, instead of falling into the pack of new black metal bands and being lost. If you’re looking for a band that’s different (to my ears at least), interesting, and extremely socially conscious then I demand you check out Regnvm Animale. Svpport this great band. You can find them on the Resistance and Crushing Intolerance compilations as well.
