In 2004, inspired by the legend of the "Homo Salvadego" - literally "savage man"; a dialectal name referring to a northern italian alpine legend talking about a half-human, half-animal hybrid - the Italian Black Metal act Homselvareg emerged in northern Italy, between mountains, lakes and forests.

Homselvareg's music is vector of contempt, hatred and venom for the path that humanity choose to take, far away from the spirit and the laws of nature. Musically speaking, the Black Metal of Homselvareg is constallated of excellent melodic-oriented riffs, rhythmically fast and structured upon certain dynamic choices, resulting particularly enjoyable for fans of Spite Extreme Wings, Taake and Dissection.

Originally released by Defiled Records in 1998, "Evanescent, Everfading" was the debut album of Finland based act Fall Of The Leafe. During the first years since their inception in 1996, FotL found their own way of playing black/death metal with folk influences based on guitarist Jussi Hänninen harmonies and Jani Lindström vocals.

The band entered legendary Tico-Tico studios in 1997 to record their first full length and from the Maidenesque opener "The Celestial Keeper" to the closing "Evanescent, Everfading", FotL delivers a 40 minutes unique masterclass of melodic death metal with black feels to take the listener on a journey to enjoy the sweet taste of 90s. Did you say Amorphis or Insomnium? It would be fair saying Fotl set the stage for them.

"Màrtirs" is a profound, heartfelt homage to the peoples oppressed by war, Western exploitation, and the universal human barbarism.
