Darvaza - The Silver Chalice [2016]
Genre: Black Metal Origin: Italy
[Requested] Second EP by this Italo-norwegian band. Both members have an incredible pedigree: they've played in Acherontas, Blut aus Nord, Glorior Belli, Mare, OTOH, etc. Released by Terratur so like, fuck yeah. I get the feeling this is a little story of sorts, side B is amazing.
Tracklist: 1. Blessed, And Cursed Not 2. The Silver Chalice
Cool little EP by this (then) one-man Chilean project. Except for the cheesy synth intro (damn you, Mortiis!), this is real good and totally different from what you would expect of a band with a name like that. Rich riffing that goes from the depressive to the evocative. Too bad it just clocks over the 12 minute mark, keeping it (too) short and sweet.
Tracklist: 1. Into the Abbys 2. Trascendence 3. Silhouette of Deads 4. Eternal Darkness
Taken from the mini-CD version. I have mixed feelings about this - the first track will probably repel most (if not all) of you in all its "the 80's called, they want their cheesy ballad style back" glory. Luckily this changes by the second track. The clear vocals gave this EP a pagan vibe similar to some bands from the early 2000's.
Tracklist: 1. Heathen Awake 2. Temple of Wisdom 3. As the Frost Lays on the Fir Trees 4. L'entre des trolls 5. Hail Odin, Hail!
[Reuploaded, Requested] Debut album from one of the first cybergrind bands from my city. This has a certain charm to it that I couldn't describe with words. It's funny and absurd and strangely soothing. It recalls a time when music, genres and scenes were still interesting. Not mandatory, but I cried anyway.
Tracklist: 1. Tu Vieja Sodomizada Por El Pato Vergudo 2. Cuando El Culo de Olivia Es Roto Por la Pija de Brutus 3. Mogolic Domination 4. Mientras Le Rompo El Ano A Tu Hermana En la Playa (Tema Porno) 5. La Policía Apesta A Nalga Cagada de de Bebé Mogólico 6. Escapando de la Realidad Con Esta Droga Bastante Jodida 7. Violado Por El Abuelito 8. El Regreso Del Pato Vergudo (Volvió Para Quedarse) 9. Sientes Al Clitogusano Invadiendo Tus Genitales 10. Las Crías Del Clitogusano Viajan A Través de la Túnica Albugínea 11. El Ataque de Los Mogólicos 12. Fucked In The Head 13. La Noche En Que El Fantasma de la ópera Regresó Para Lechearse Sobre la Cara de Tu Vieja 14. Las Crías Del Clitogusano Viajan A Través de la Túnica Albuginea (Instrumental)
Dark and heavy metal ov death. If you are aware Amon Amarth is not really Death Metal, then this might be for you. I think there's a Necros Christos member here or something. Hands down one of my favourite demos in the genre, ripped from the 2012 CD reissue.
Tracklist: 1. Embrace the Beast 2. Key to the Lunar Waters 3. Abyssic Dead, They Sing for Me 4. Viscera Terræ
Those who frequent me know how much I love Japanese Black metal. I mean, post-Sabbat Japanese Black metal (I don't hate them, though). And this band ranks in my top-3 from that country. This is their second demo and a good starting point. Sounds like a nipponic LLN band at times. Awsm.
Tracklist: 1. Muerte Mansa 2. The Lost Spirits 3. Emancipation 4. Black Mind 5. In the Falling Snow 6. Frozen Forest
Really cool stuff from these Argentine wizards, some of the best demos from Patagonia. Rawness and a hint of experimentation that would pave the way for their debut album. Included are 2 unlisted bonus tracks.
Tracklist: 1. Desde la barbarie 2. Blood and Winds Our Witnesses 3. Hasta que sus Ruinas sean Nuestras Trincheras 4. Grief
Nihil Domination & Abominablood - Two Satanic Conspirations [2010]
Genre: Death/Black metal Origin: Ecuador/Argentina
By request. Two acts in the vein of that South American blend of Death and Black metal people in developed countries will never be able to recreate. Abominablood is easily one of the most hated acts in Argentine underground because of shady business antics of the sole member.
Tracklist:
Nihil Domination
1. Raped Jesus Christ 2. Satanic Triumph 3. Vomiting in the Face of Jehovah Abominablood
4. Venom of Carnality 5. Black Reverend of Abomination 6. Devil Agreement (Satan Metal)
By request. Poland crude madness, this is the CD version from 1998. I think these guys formed WAR88 later. Recommended if you enjoy the darker side of Polish Black metal from the 90's.
