SPLIT CD
BOTH REALLY GOOD BAND
 

Reaper Subconscious Guide è un album strano, sicuramente originale e di conseguenza poco comprensibile, io stesso al primo ascolto sono rimasto inorridito. Furze non è nuovo a queste soluzioni ma stavolta ha deciso di esagerare portando la sua concezione del Black Metal al limite, incastonandolo in una dimensione temporale che scava molto nel passato, talmente tanto da conferirgli un'aurea che profuma di anni 70, l'epoca in cui i Black Sabbath diventavano immortali. Questo nuovo disco della band norvegese è un perfetto mix tra malvagità nera e atmosfere anni 70, ovviamente dal timbro doomish e in alcuni momenti anche psichedelici. Cinque lunghi brani in cui i deliri mentali sono la costante con cui dovrete fare i conti, ma l'apice viene toccato nella conclusiva Essential Wait dove in dodici minuti confluiscono tutte quelle che sono le influenze artistiche di Furze: Black Metal, Doom Metal, Hard Rock anni 70 (quello più oscuro) e pure un certo tocco Dark/Progressive Rock, anche questo proveniente direttamente dai seventies. Molte scelte potevano essere calibrate in maniera megliore, non è sempre facile mantenere la concentrazione, c'è il rischio di distrarsi a causa di una certa propensione a rendere il tutto poco fluido. Ciò non toglie che i Furze hanno deciso di dare uno scossone alla loro concezione di musica rendendola più originale e criptica, speriamo si sappia evolvere nel tempo.
 

Skogen is an Atmospheric Black Metal band from Växjö, Sweden, formed in 2009. In the veins of Drudkh. Current label - Frostscald Records. Formed in 2009.

Upon first coming across Sweden’s Skogen, I was half expecting a bland and boring dedication to the old school Scandinavian scene due to the fact that this twosome of J. Svensson and M. Nilsson operate under such a horribly generic name.

However, this atmospheric black metal band are definitely not just another by-the-book dedication to a scene long put to bed. I, like a lot of people, need to be inspired and turned on by the aesthetics of a band in order to listen to them.
 

Over the course of its seventeen-year career, Deströyer 666 has managed to release a mere four full-length albums. However, the band has released EPs with somewhat more regularity. Unfortunately, the bulk of these recordings were issued only on vinyl and in limited quantities. As is often the case, these releases quickly became unavailable to anyone not willing to get ass-raped on eBay. In 2010, Deströyer 666 threw fans a bone and released a compilation of the following EPs: 1998’s Satanic Speed Metal, 2000’s King of Kings/Lord of the Wild, 2002’s Of Wolves Women and War and 2010’s See You in Hell, entitled To the Devil His Due… on limited edition vinyl. Thanks for nothing.

Ah, but despair not, gentle reader: As you have probably guessed, I am not reviewing a release from 2010. The Hell's Headbangers label will, in a few weeks from the time of this writing, release To the Devil His Due on glorious, hiss-free, car-stereo-compatible compact disc. Now let’s be honest: If you are a die-hard Deströyer 666 fan like me, one that has no taste for either vinyl or ass-rape, you probably downloaded most of these songs long ago. This release gives you the chance to throw K.K. and the boys a few bucks and enjoy these songs guilt-free and with better sound quality. If, by chance, you have not heard any of these songs before, To the Devil His Due will serve as a sort of long-lost Deströyer 666 album.

The nine songs that make up To the Devil his Due span a great swath of Deströyer 666’s career and as such reflect the changes to and development of the band’s sound during that time. “Satanic Speed Metal” is a simplistic, bare-knuckled anthem in much the same spirit as “Australian and Antichrist” from Unchain the Wolves. The level of sophistication gradually increases through the chronologically ordered disc, culminating with the two tracks that comprised See You in Hell. These final two songs feature the Deströyer 666’s signature melodic maelstrom combined with some uncharacteristically crunchy riffing, resulting in some the band’s finest work in recent years. The production follows a similar path, with the earlier tracks sounding somewhat raw, and the latest featuring a clear powerful sound that easily eclipses the sonic cluster-fuck that was Defiance.

To put it simply: For any Deströyer 666 fan who doesn’t already own this material, To the Devil His Due is a must. For those unfamiliar with the band, this compilation will definitely give you a good idea of what Deströyer 666 is all about.

Away from the gothic and folk parts of their earlier recordings, Mysterium present themselves in a modern wall of sound on their second album "Soulwards". Heavier, more metal, more direct, but without doing away with the melodic and atmospheric aspects of their debut "The Glowering Facades of Night". With "Soulwards", Mysterium have grown up and establish themselves as a self-conscious and confident Dark Metal band that can rival the genre's greats.
