A Grey Chill And A Whisper is Beltez successor of the highly acclaimed record Exiled, Punished…Rejected and deals with despair, hopelessness, but also courage and strength. This wide emotional range is conveyed through haunting melodies, gripping shrieks and pounding drums into a dense, sinister and very moody piece of dark art music. The result is a monolithic entity that frightens as much as it allures.
A Grey Chill And A Whisper provides just enough room for the listener to briefly gasp for air amidst its overpowering walls of sound and is an unforgettable journey into a dark and desperate world

“Our goal – call to blight the life existance. Our weapon – weaknesses and vices of human scum.”
Virvel Av Morkerhatet, Ukraine: a hard atom that represents the defect of the human thought, that is multiplied by self-destruction of transcendental consciousness. Anticosmos through Black Magic.
We know you dreamt about a violent and ruthless edge of Ved Buens Ende, if we can figure this out in our minds.
This is a record that will not leave you indifferent and will nail your soul, a marvellous mix of avantgarde metal and evil fury where every second minute is unpredictable although not pushing too much over the reasonable boundaries of experimentation that every black metal band should safely keep….

“The area where I live is not a precise place, it has no horizons, neither me that I’m talking I’ve never had a particular attachment to it, conversely I felt far away, it has been a place just linking the living experience of people to the area, their memory, and now that also these persons are gradually disappearing all will probably be erased."


The project Asofy originated in 2000 formerly involving other people but substantially running around the main and now sole member Tryfar: a respected visual Artist, yet author of many music covers and artworks and books illustrations. As you probably imagine, characters like him, on the same line with geniuses like Costin Chioreanu, are to be considered unique and anarchists, and out of any laws of the music market.
Music is just one, and not the primary, of their needs to exploit their visions, therefore you will not find rules and clear music genres belongings
Asofy music is dark and melancholic, extremely non commercial and even uneasy.
We quote american monsters Lycia and the other italian weirdos Canaan as possible main references, but it is nearly impossible to cut a precise profile for their music. It is not doom, it is not black and not at all that generic “post” that nowdays is so cool to use as a tag for everything that’s a bit different.

Like strokes of inspiration, exquisite guitar melodies weave a fluent plethora of moods and emotions, showcasing a heavy classical influence. Undulant blast beats and biting screams serve as a counterpoint to pristine atmospheres and ethereal choirs, an obstinate reminder of the finite nature of man and his creations.

Here at the onset of a new decade, AARA presents a landmark of thoughtful, unorthodox Black Metal.

Drought is an entity spawned to channel its creators’ creative energy in a black metal form. The Tantric concept has been adopted to transform this energy into a tale of upheaval and elevation, using fire as a metaphor to celebrate spiritual transformation through cleansing, drawing purity from impurity. After a promising debut EP Drought fell into several years of silence, from which they will finally rise this spring to unleash their first full-length album, Trimurti.

As a Lotus grows from the swamp, enlightenment comes from improvement and regeneration. In Trimurti this theme is reprised from the previous ep Rudra Bhakti (2016, also on Avantgarde Music) and deepened, generating three suites - each explaining one of the three phases of this spiritual turmoil, as well as the three phases of Pranayama, and overall, the three phases of evolution: awareness - transformation - elevation. Nine tracks divided into three conceptual segments - this new opus develops and brings forth the tantric concept of the previous release, articulating it into a full spiritual blast of extreme music.

When asked to introduce the album, Drought said: “Trimurti represents the tantric chemistry of our creative energies and the ones kept within the sea, the mountains and the woods which surround us, channeled into music to celebrate the eternal life hidden in this world and in the ones behind it”.

Trimurti will be out on cd and lp (regular and limited) on May 15th / 22nd  

recensione di Metal.it (clicca qui per visitare il sito)

Il formato EP deve essere molto gradito ai francesi Moonreich dal momento che, all'interno della loro decennale carriera, questo "Wormgod" è già il terzo e segue, ad un solo anno di distanza, il precedente "Fugue", entrambi rilasciati dalla sempre valida ed attenta Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions, etichetta che alla quantità preferisce la qualità.
Come di consueto in casa Moonreich, per lo meno con le ultime uscite, si fa fatica a parlare "solo" di Black Metal analizzando la loro proposta vista la molteplicità delle influenze e, soprattutto, la complessità di una musica finemente arrangiata, variegata nel suo incedere e, cosa non sempre scontata nel genere, suonata e prodotta in maniera perfetta.
"Wormgod" è un album, dunque, molto ricco: i francesi riescono ad unire efficacemente death, black, atmosfere ortodosse, concessioni alla melodia, magistrale brutalità (ascoltate con attenzione la spettacolare "To Crawl this World") ed a risultare convincenti anche quando si cimentano nella cover in chiave estrema di "Broken" dei Depeche Mode.
Appare chiaro che i Moonreich siano un gruppo di spessore e che la loro musica debba essere ascoltata con attenzione per coglierne ogni sfumatura ed ogni variazione poiché, anche all'interno dello stesso brano, diversi sono i cambi di registro, molteplici i saliscendi ritmici e imprevedibili gli sviluppi pur se, occorre sottolinearlo, l'ambito di azione del gruppo resta sempre fortemente estremo e devastante.
Tra dissonanze urticanti, ottimi assolo di chitarra, velocità assassine e brutalità debordante, "Wormgod" è un album che va gustato tutto di un fiato più e più volte, ogni volta alla ricerca del particolare sfuggito nell'ascolto precedente.
Come al solito, bravi davvero!

The Haunting Green are Cristiano Perin (vocals, guitars, synthesizers) and Chantal Fresco (drums and percussions). Formed in 2012 and based on North-East Italy, their music is constantly going in the direction of a coexistence within the aggressive vibes of extreme metal with ambient-drone and dark electronic music.

After a debut EP and collaborative split album, “Natural Extinctions”is their first full-length album which explores the inability of human beings to preserve their innocence and the bond with nature during their existence. The focus on “Natural Extinctions” is to merge extreme metal with the suggestive language of drone / ambient and ritual music, highlighting in some ways the "percussive" side of their music. This isn't an ordinary concept album but, actually, there is a hidden thread connecting the 7 tracks, relating the inevitable destiny of every human being to inhibit, suppress and lose, along his life, some of the most pure and atavistic aspects of their own soul, to adapt and live with the hostile environment that surrounds him. Adaptability on the one hand strengthens and leads to move forward, but, on the other hand, corrupts and makes us lose the most spiritual and pure side of us: the most precious.

The sixth album by the German band embodies all the best features of Doomed. Diminishing death metal and progressive elements and slowing down the music, the band crafted an epic work filled mostly with melancholy rather than with fury typical for Doomed. Monumental doom death metal at this album demonstrates new colors shining with dark light. T

Melodic and grandiose Black Metal against the modern world. CD version limited to 200 copies.
