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.

Twilight Fauna - Shadows of Ancestors [2015]

Genre: Black Metal

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.

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.

Ashbringer - Vacant [2015]

Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

Country of Origin: USA (Minnesota)

Tracklist:
1. Ethereal Aura pt. I
2. Ethereal Aura pt. II
3. Lucid
4. With Vacant Eyes
5. Lonesome
6. Bitter

Ashbringer is a very apt name for this project. They bring forth bleak atmospheres and spew vocals like ash from a volcano. But that's not all, each song takes different turns and brings out fantastic moods of all kinds. This is my type of black metal, the kind that grabs you and takes you on a journey. Vacant escorts you to some abysmal locations and then brings you back to the grandeur of nature. As is evident by the cover art, Vacant is woodsy yet dark, angry yet melancholic. A tragicpiece. The only tiny qualm I have with this album is the clean singing. Though many people enjoy clean singing in black metal, it usually distracts from the atmosphere for me. Luckily clean vocals are used sparingly on Vacant, so it doesn't detract much from the album.

Ashbringer will contribute a track to the upcoming charity compilation Crushing Intolerance Vol. 3 which is comprised of anti-NSBM bands. Vol. 3 will collect donations for a charity aiding victims of LGBTQ violence.

mar. - Demo

mar. - demo

Genre: Post Black Metal

Country of originorigin : UK (Newcastle)

Tracklist:

1. Drown

mar. are an atmospheric band from the North East of England. Combining Post Black Metal, Doom and Post Metal influences they create a unique and crushingly despairing sound.

Their lyrics are expressive of their politics with themes such as climate change, hatred of bigotry in all forms, consumerism, lack of community and antifascism as an integral part of the project.

They are part of Crushing Intolerance Volume 2.

I like so much this type of blackmetal/screamo and expect very much from them. Hope for more great news.

First full length is coming in 2015

Τον τελευταίο καιρό μπήκα στην διαδικασία να ακούσω διάφορες συλλογές. Η συλλογή του Black Metal Αlliance νομίζω ότι μου κέρδισε το ενδιαφέρον. Οι μπάντες έχουν δώσει τον καλύτερο τους εαυτό. Και εστιάζω όχι επειδή ο LifeSuspend  παίζει στους Ü αλλά επειδή είναι πραγματικά καλή σύμπραξη όλων των σχημάτων ( και το πιστεύω).  Επίσης, είναι ευχάριστο που ο  ακραίος ήχος που ασχολείται και με πιο ευαίσθητα θέματα. Τα χρήματα της συλλογής  προορίζονται για 350 που ασχολείται  με την κλιματική αλλαγή. Όπως και να χει μην παραβλέψετε πως εδώ ελλοχεύουν 22 σπουδαίες μπάντες.

In the last days I have started listening to a variety of collections. The one of Black Metal Alliance has got my attention. The bands have given their best. I have chosen that not because LifeSuspend is at the Ü , but really is a great collaboration of all the bands. Also, it is pleasant that this extreme sound deals with more sensitive themes. The money of collection is to be given for 350 org involved in the climatic change. But either way do not overlook that we have 22 great bands in this collection.
