Comdemned to Suffer was recorded in Croydon UK and mixed by London-based Tide Music Studios. This is our 3rd album, the most personal so far, as no guest musicians participated during recording and lyrics are more mature and complex, mostly reflecting different struggles that we’ve overcomed in the past 5 years as a band. In the melodic death metal genre, we like to add black metal elements to the mix as well to make the music sound a bit darker and intense. We’ve been influenced mostly by death metal pioneers from 90’s but there are also modern elements in our music. We were influenced by the bands like The Carcass, At the Gates and Dissection, so our music can be described as ‘similar’ to these bands with a pinch of modern elements on top. We put great emphasis on this album and worked really hard to make it sound profound and we believe this is the most mature album that we’ve released so far.

In the vein of AT THE GATES, DISSECTION & CARCASS

Kommandant took their first steps into the Black Metal playground whilst the western world was retreating  into a deep slumber. We can now either decide to face reality; a call to arms, or remain in such a state of impotence.

Kommandant brings forth the inferno; an enlightenment and awareness that is both clandestine, and apparent simultaneously . Ancient phantograms, echoing both the struggle of the past and the actuality of the present, make their fog of war pervasive to all the stagnant relics that hinder advancement. Audibly , this is by far the most staggering version of the Kommandant weaponry. Blunt force trauma, striking hard and fast, for maximum effect.

The soldiers marching in the fog are obedient vessels, actuated by a primordial magnetic impulse. While listening to “Titan hammer” it can immediately be perceived as an imminent  tragedy , a mere lingering spectre, devouring any remaining glimmer or aspirations. Once fully emerging from this acrid slurry, the  miasma will succeed in trapping the listener within the entrails of atavistic phantoms.

References can be made somehow to nefarious acts like War, Marduk & Zyklon-B. Within  a scene that is severely  overpolluted by  disingenuous bedroom projects , Kommandant takes a step to the front with mature songwriting and a professional studio recording shaped in Belle City Sound Company studio, located in Racine, WI.

The artwork and layout is perfectly emphasized once again with the creative genius of artist Francesco Gemelli ( Abigor, Katatonia. Kvist, Darkspace, Spectral Lore ..)

“Titan Hammer”  will march and progress deeper and deeper into the battlefield of humanity , like a dagger to the heart of the world.

After a debut album that raised the attention of a nowadays crowded underground, the ambitious project from Italy now evokes their occult
essence and makes it flow into their highly anticipated comeback.

Moving from the European inspired Black Metal but inoculating on the same their peculiar Indo-Sumerian nostalgia, like an ancient cry in a
trembling scenario of shadows, Digir Gidim takes their visual and audial dimension to a more mature and intrinsic merging.

Supported by the usual majestic artwork created by Luciana Nedelea (Mare Cognitum, Fuath, Ghost Bath…), the music flows and takes us to our
most insane and struggling times, as primordial energies make the earth tremble.

Words as atmospheric and occult can in some way provide some anchors to the media but cannot fully describe the treasure trove of different
feelings and evocative emotions that create this sublime conflict.

Making some comparisons to the debut, Digir Gidim’s threatening, unsystematic and mostly disharmonic ritual absorbs huge waves of sadness and
bursting majesty, like perfectly represented on the album cover, opening a wider horizon of emotions and journeys through cold lands of non-existence.

It’s a voyage with no return, where  chosen souls reach the Passage to Divination, a path through the silence of oceans and deserts, detaching themselves from humanity,
assuming transparency and the celestial shimmering moving to the ultimate sacrifice, surrendering to the merciless embrace of the Supreme Regulator

Hailing from Reykjavík, Iceland is where Dauðaró’s journey begins, a place where the earth gets black and a burning pathos annihilates any hope.
It’s a descent to Lovecraftian fields, where atmospheric
noisy echoes merge with funeral doom and black metal for a multi layered
experience.
Let yourself be guided into the unknown:
“Nýir Heimar” will draw your essence to the world beyond.
