It was but March 2021 when Austria's AUSSICHTSLOS burst from the void, fully formed, with their Völlig Aussichtslos debut album. Remarkably assured, classically inclined, the power-trio presented grim, harsh, but oft-hard-rocking black metal that favorably recalled the post-Strength & Honour landscape of Finland as well as ancient-days Germania ala Luror, Wolfsmond, and Hellfucked. Six months later, AUSSICHTSLOS amazingly released another full-length, Einsicht. While it was chronologically their second album, Einsicht was actually recorded in 2020, before the release of Völlig Aussichtslos took place. Either way, between the two records did AUSSICHTSLOS show themselves as new contenders in austere black metal classicism, capable of tradition but also thought-provoking lyrics reflecting upon inner struggles so universal to the human experience.

And so it goes with Schicksalstotschlag, arguably AUSSICHTSLOS' most desperate record yet. While it may've been quiet on the Austrian front the past few years, that does nothing to dim the fire of their third full-length: Schicksalstotschlag is at once urgent and reserved, violently passionate but poised and stoic - and of course, as anthemic as ever. Not for nothing is PURITY THROUGH FIRE known as the stronghold of Teutonic steel, its sword-wielders capable of a catchiness as wild and windswept as any biergarten, and AUSSICHTSLOS keep apace on Schicksalstotschlag, keeping the riffs rocking as ever and the heart enflamed with emotion. Their production, as always, is on the palatable side of "polished," crisp and clean and gleaming with steely-eyed pride, making these nine songs the penultimate in battle-charging bombast and ballast. Credit new drummer Kartharziss (who also provides tasteful synths) with that proud pulse, although vocalist / lyricist Norsk (unchain his heart!) and fellow six-stringer Garst hold their own and help make the closing nine-minute epic "Hochverrat" the band's best track to date. Black metalsmiths of destiny, unite again for Schicksalstotschlag!

---------------------

Contemporary versus tribal. The city empties, the countryside resurfaces. The crumbling contemporary ideals collapse, all is lost. Primitive rituals are exalted.
Dialect dances, esoteric theaters, innocent songs emerge from the echoes of ancient rural civilizations, which belong to us and are just waiting to be awakened. Like shamans they transmigrate into warm lands of solitude, where a swan dies and is reborn every day, trying to redeem the dormant spirits that brood in wandering empty men.

Apocalyptic and haunting bullfight.
Theology of the revolution, music and the proletariat.
In 2022 with "Protestanti" he entered the ranking of the best Italian songs for Rolling Stone. In 2023 he presents industrial “N!N!N!” at the Magnolia club in Milan. In October 2024 “Buonanotte Berlinguer” will be published, the last concrete and spiritual act, between music and socialism.

Only 5 months after their 2023 mini-album "Wastelands", Heretoir release their new intense full-length "Nightsphere"! The new record is a concept album dealing with the struggle between the forces of nature and a world of machines. Humanity is in the midst of this confrontation, and the dichotomy between living as an animal among animals and existing as a cog in the wheel of progress determines the course of the story the five songs tell.

"Nightsphere" is a dark album that weaves atmospheric black metal parts with melodic clean passages, swirling blast beats with calm post rock and ambient sounds, and the intensity of desperate screams with the poignant emotionality of melancholic clean vocals into a musical journey through an archaic world. It is also the first album that was entirely written by the full band, featuring contributions of every single member.

The album features ambient sounds of the long-time befriended project "Hidehidehide" as well as guest-appearances of two giants of the (post) black metal genre - Tim Yatras of "Austere" who fuels the song "Twilight of the Machines" with his anguish and Nikita Kamprad of "Der Weg einer Freiheit" who delivers intense and powerful vocals on "Glacierheart - Nightsphere Part II".

"Nightsphere's" natural and organic but powerful sound was crafted by David Deutsch and Justin Felder at 1408 Productions in Hannover, who were responsible for the mix of the record. Furthermore Nikita Kamprad of "Der Weg einer Freiheit" took care of the mastering of the album. Prepare to dive into a highly atmospheric night-realm and emotional maelstrom with "Nightsphere"!

La chiusura della Trilogia del nulla!

"Buonanotte Berlinguer" 

Il nuovo disco di CIGNO inizia come un sabba scatenato, inizia con l’orrore. L’orrore di chi si confronta con il distacco del proprio superiore, sia esso un’entità, un capo od un partner. Sembra che il campo d’azione, rispetto all’esordio, sia definitivamente tracimato, andando a cogliere l’intera vita, nelle sfere che la compongono, come atto drammatico e di rottura. Sin dall’immagine di copertina veniamo schiaffati davanti all’immenso, quasi gettati negli antri più oscuri dei cammini danteschi. Le percussioni, la pece e le chitarre urlanti fanno poi il resto. Un grand guignol composto da diverse pietanze, stanze e sostanze

A tratti fa paura, una paura da brividi: Pax è da brividi sulla schiena, Ogochukwu mette in mostra una giostra del dolore abietta, una Frate Dolcino vengono amputati naso e pene, una Censure e torture. Stefano cucchi tra le fiamme. Vien voglia di urlare, bestemmiare e tirar testate contro il muro per distogliersi dalle quintalate di merda sparsa in questo disco, diretta a testa e cuore, ricoprendoci di lordume.
È un brutto mondo, dipinto da un disco splendido.
