[news] STORMVOLD (Spain) - Third Bestial Mutilation (2014)

Image
Hey readers ! Xtreem Music is relentless and so I have to be. But with so much diversity and quality, it's never a bad thing. This one is from Spain, from the veteran member Ebola of Cryfemal (so underrated!) and many other bands. This dude's got a background. And it works. STORMVOLD (Spain) - Third Bestial Mutilation (Bestial Death Metal, November 15th, 2014, Xtreem Music) Stormvold whip out some nasty bestial black/death music. It relies on little else other than pure raging emotions translated to horrifying music. This hearkens back to the time Blasphemy , Necrovore , Possessed, Molested , Sarcofago and others set out on this path but Stormvold add their own touches to the art. There are subtle undercurrents of black metal menace and guile, slashes of blood and chaos, on a canvas of life. It's a war out there, each note struggling to be heard for mental devastation, as the turbulent, rampaging music leaves none unscathed. This is not for the fainthea

[news] ATRUM TEMPESTAS (Finland) - Neant (2014)

Image
Hello! Here's some tingling black metal for your soul. It's atmospheric, expansive and soothing in a way. Check it out! It's recently out on the high quality upcoming label Nordavind Records. ATRUM TEMPESTAS (Finland) - Neant (Atmospheric Black Metal, October 13th 2014, Nordavind Records) This is beautiful black metal. It is evocative of the finer moments of your life and as it is with any form of reminiscing, it's partially wistful as well. Musically, it's comparable to Woods of Desolation , Austere , even Alcest but the music is more elegant than overly emotional. Atrum Tempestas maintain a crisp balance in the sound, taking the best of both realms so to speak. It's atmospheric and relies on your imagination to an extent while guiding you through a bleak palette of the colours of life. The three songs are consistent and yet different, portraying something tangible to the heart, something that doesn't wear off soon. This is a sublime de

[news] PANIKK (Slovenia) - Unbearable Conditions (2014)

Image
Hello! It's been forever since I sent out a thrash metal news. This one is from Xtreem Music and the owner loves to support metal from all over - Nepal, Chile, Slovenia, etc. Panikk is reminiscent of the Bay Area thrash and it's strangely refreshing these days. PANIKK (Slovenia) - Unbearable Conditions (Thrash Metal, November 22nd, 2014, Xtreem Music) These days it's the third world countries that are keeping the thrash metal spirit alive. Panikk from Slovenia release their debut full length album on Xtreem Music that sends you on a nostalgic trip. They're not trying too hard, simply recapturing the magic of the tape-era thrash. We're talking about bands like Metallica , Exodus , Death Angel , Forbidden and Testament before the genre got more extreme and branched out into death and black metal eventually. This is straight up thrash, with emphasis on the feel than the obscurity or rawness, sounding energized, primal (relatively) and heaps of fu

[news] Infestum (Belarus) - Monuments of Exalted (2014)

Image
Howdy! Here's an excellent release. It's as refreshing to my ears to work with different kinds of metal releases as it is for you fellas, I'm sure. That's why I make it a point to keep shuffling genres and make sure to work with the best as far as possible. Here's the latest of the Lacerated Enemy Records releases. INFESTUM (Belarus) - Monuments of Exalted (Blackened Death Metal, October 31st, 2014, Lacerated Enemy Records) Infestum are the new forward-thinking torchbearers of black metal while remaining true to the original essence of the style. From Belarus, Infestum create epic and moving black metal inspired by Thorns, Emperor, Aborym and Behemoth, and present it with cutting edge methodology, imbibing influences of death metal and industrial harshness. The result is overwhelming if not just awe-inspiring. The grandeur of black metal meets the futuristic sounds of extreme metal. For the first time, Lacerated Enemy Records, a powerful en

[news] HUMILIATION (Malaysia) - Battalion (2014)

Image
Hey! Who doesn't like Bolt Thrower? No one? Thought so. Humiliation from Malaysia seem greatly influenced by that band. Greatly. :D HUMILIATION (Malaysia) - Battalion (Death Metal, Deepsend Records, October 14th, 2014) Humiliation from Malaysia are making the dormant masters of war-derived death metal proud. Very few bands are able to work with that band's sound and somewhat take it forward, keeping it juggernaut-ish and kinetic at the same time, and Humiliation are one of them. There's little to dislike about this album because everything is in the right place and it sounds massive. The band has that chunky old school flavour that everyone loves and is playing around with the riffs while not letting you lose sight of the Bolt Thrower imagery in your mind. It's hard to stay still to this - it urges you to pick up your weapons, guitars, sticks, wives and just go march outside and get grimy and lose a limb or two asap. Lineup - BEAR BEE:

[news] PUTRID EVOCATION (Chile) - Echoes of Death (2014)

Image
Hello! Here's some killer dark death metal for a change. The band in context is from Chile and the bands there take their death metal seriously. Enjoy this festering slab of death metal done very, very well. PUTRID EVOCATION (Chile) - Echoes of Death (Death Metal, November 1st, 2014, Xtreem Music) Putrid Evocation breathes new life in the dark death metal category by also imbibing influences from the old Scandinavian scene such as Abhorrence (Finland), Purtenance , Nihilist , Convulse and of course making Incantation proud. The music is made with serious passion and sincere intent, the songs are fleshed out and exude a vibe that comes naturally, the air is dank and fetid. More importantly, justice is done to the genre. This sounds authentic, in that the band is very comfortable playing in this style even though this happens to be only the band's debut full length. Impeccably structured and paced, 'Echoes of Death' is the next revelation for fans

Antonio Pantano - Arcandia (2014) [italien]

Image
Antonio Pantano – Arcandia (2014) Se dovessimo riassumere con una formula il primo album di Antonio Pantano che si chiama Arcandia, potremmo dire che è un “piccolo gioiello”. Dobbiamo riconoscerere che a forza di recensire dischi e di pubblicare notizie di gruppi che si dicono gli uni più innovativi degli altri, dopo un po’ una certa routine ci assale. Per fortuna con Arcandia, Antonio sforna un album che si discosta da percorsi già tracciati e che vi parla al cuore. Il concept Alla base di Arcandia c’è un concept. Antonio Pantanto ha comprato due anni fa in lingua originale il libro Cronache del ghiaccio e del fuoco (A Song of Ice and Fire) dello scrittore George R. R. Martin. Non sapeva ancora che HBO aveva realizzato una serie televisiva tratta da questo libro. Cosi’ ha sentito il bisogno di avere una colonna sonora, un fondo sonoro, durante la lettura, per trasmettere e approfondire i suoi sentimenti. Allora si è messo a scrivere la sua colonna sonora. Quest
