Info : Mysticism, magic, occult arts and rituals, all of which are driving factors behind ΑΧΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ, are also the most adequate words that can be used to describe the band's image, sound, and lyrics.

The band is considered as one of the leading representatives of the second wave of Greek black metal, heavily influenced by the original Hellenic metal scene, retro rock (especially '70s rock), and occult/spiritual philosophy & activism.

'Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development" is 1990 debut album by the Dutch thrash band Usurper, formed in 1985. The album their debut full-length release that features nine tracks, including "Egoistic Mind" and "Diseased Reality". Despite its ambitious title, the music is described by some as more of a straightforward, late-'80s thrash sound, the production, with its airy, powerful guitar tone and reverb-strong mixing gives it a timeless draw. The best late 80’s Dutch thrash bands were those that rapidly made the transition into a death/thrash hybrid, and then often into full on death metal. Pestilence, Thanatos, all need no introduction, but there were very few bands that stuck with the initial genre and met any kind of success. Usurper is a pretty rare find, a group that actually started off as a death metal act (they put out a demo as Sepulchral Death) and then evolved into a pure thrash act. All 3 demos, Sepulchral Death (considered as Usurper demo 1) demo 1 1986, Chants of Traducement Demo 2, 1987, Demo 3 from 1988 and full length Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development are included on this massive double cd and double vinyl re-issue. The booklet contains rare and old pictures, flyers and posters. Extensive liner notes from Steven Willems (Rock Tribune, Streams of Ancient Wisdom: The History of Dutch Death And Extreme Metal).

The sublime 4th full length from UK avant-Black/Death Metal band LYCHGATE advances the kinetic potency of their 2020 DMP-debut EP, "Also sprach Futura", to a frightening level of mind-mangling intensity.

"Precipice" is progressive Extreme Metal plummeting inside a black hole: scorching, twisted and transfixing. The band have upped both the dystopic prog-Death quotient and their sense of experimentation, moving with formidable, mechanised poise and a surrealist’s sense of dread.
