As auspicious of a start as that split was, HINSIDES reveal the full depth of their depravity with the debut album Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna. Immediately and remorselessly is the listener attacked with a necro soundfield steeped in the earliest, most fiery birth-pangs of Scandinavian black metal. Peer within that piercing sound – if you can survive the initial onslaught, that is – and you’ll discover a wealth of fascinating and fearless twists to ancient black metal tropes. Paradoxically, HINSIDES here are more melodic and magisterial than even hinted at on that preceding split; fluid like an ever-flowing stream, the riffing is harsh yet finessed, evincing an eerily hummable quality that only intensifies the strangeness Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna presents. Suitably, mainman M.A.’s vocals are unhinged and utterly feral, in no uncertain terms imparting pure devil-worship and archaic witchcraft. Which is to say nothing of the unique(ly haunting) integration of church bells…all put in service of Him.
 

Emerging from the edge of the ancient forests of the Veluwe, Solar Temple offers their debut full length. 'Fertile Descent' lures you in with its direct yet swirling black metal impression and unique approach. Like something sinuous at the edge of your vision but not quite perceivable, the two tracks of this album twist and bend with a dizzying ferocity. Pummeling sounds entwined with a distant echo that also feels warm and inviting.

ORTHODOXY hail from Spain and formed sometime during the past decade. In 2015, the band's first demo, Shaarimoth, burst forth from the womb, displaying a band fully, frighteningly formed.

Howling from a black void, ORTHODOXY arrogantly stride forward with far more focus and utterly gutted execution.

A brand of black metal akin as much to Judas Iscariot as it is Teitanblood.
 

EP che segue il loro debutto sulla lunga distanza, “New Era Of Chaos”, uscito come autoproduzione. La band milanese negli anni ha evoluto e mutato più volte il proprio sound alla ricerca di quella maturazione stilistica che tutte le band inseguono. Sono passati da un black metal a tinte sinfoniche, ad un black metal tirato in stile svedese del già citato full, fino ad arrivare ad una nuova svolta stilistica con “Diabolicunt”.

 

When plague and cholera unite on a French Black Metal alliance, sensitive souls will have to abstain.
Halsfang (Mourning Forest members) is always posseded with his vocal and musically by the beast... Only a demonic energy !
Pestiferum is like you have never listened since 13 years of existence, more biting than ever.
 

Debut full-length album from this finnish Death Metal juggernaut. For the fans of Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Deicide.
 

Lucifericon‘s first full-length recording, Al-Khem-Me. Tongue-twistingly titled but aptly so, Al-Khem-Me keeps apace with the developments of Brimstone Altar and further masters the art of the “patient payoff.” Its blackened DEATH literally explodes from the very first seconds, but the band’s songwriting builds detail upon subtle detail despite the obvious aggression employed. Utterly gnarled and gnarling, the lurch ‘n’ lunge across Al-Khem-Me creates a bewilderingly slipstreaming effect, dragging the listener into a distant, nameless vortex, but always with a keen knack for memorability. For above alll, this is METAL, unbending and unyielding, forged in fire and weilded as a weapon; it just so happens that Lucifericon‘s is one fully set on attack, its intensity steeped in the grand traditions of late ’80s / early ’90s death. 

Saule was formed in Poland in 2015, which has come to have the most creative and ever-surprising extreme metal scene of any European country - and for underground music, in general. It is incredible the amount of new bands and great music that this country is giving to fans for the past 15 years - and let's not forget the past! - both in metal, post-rock and prog metal fields.

And that's precisely where Saule comes in with Saule. The band's formation process and search for the proper people took about two years, and it resulted in a carefully crafted debut album recorded during the late autumn of 2016 in Satanic Audio. A work of vast vision and rigorous repose, the sound across Saule is focused around post-metal and post-rock genre, but strongly deriving from black metal and acutely coated in subtle ambient echoes.

Given Saule's rather brief existence and minimal experiences so far (although they've already made their live debut with landmates Thaw and others), the band presently prefers to keep a minimalistic outlook and would love to let the music do the talking. Open your ears to Saule!
