Begrime Exemious - Begrime Exemious / Flash Out

| LABEL |

| Black/Death Metal/Crust | TRAILING fucking dirty BM with the right attitude and with a sickening darkness.

Begrime Exemious begins with its lead heavy interpretations that rides on the loose flapping base in all the songs. It's catchy as hell, a total discharge of emotions. It rumbles like doomsday is near, and the singer messes with his persuasive voice that the end is near. And I enjoy it along my entire bony spine of pleasure and ungodly terror.

The next half is dedicated to Flash Out which plays a mix of Death Metal, Crust, Grindcore to name a few. It's bluster, madness and total fucking war in every song. It's fast and deafening like a cannon on speed. It is as crazy as a sergeant possessed of a thousand spirits of dead soldiers. It's a damn nice experience, which unfortunately is over way too fast!

Black Metal. This album contains: fast furious riffs that tears like sharp knife through your eardrum. Blasting hellish drums that will pulverize your brain into dust. Experimental digital synthesizers that ads an extra dimension to the opus. A crystal clear production that sometime tends to a being a bit plastic. If you want something that is easy to just pick up and listen to, then this is your album. All in all, its a good record, even if it lakes some substance.

Hyperborean - Mythos of the Great Pestilence

A release that builds on old solid ruins but incorporates new elements in an excellent way without making it an symphonic gothfeist of fist fucking.

It has both great melodies, structure and makes the wild experimental lusts speak. An album for people that like their BM on the more progressive side but don't want a headache.

Infecting the Swarm - Pathogenesis

Gory, cosmic and sick death metal, yes you have it all here. Both all the slaughtering and down tuned guitars with guttural vocals you ever could have dreamed of together with the brilliant concept of aliens.

Castle - Under Siege

A pitch dark release with a lot of occult undertones that cripes under your feeble skin. The inevitable end has never felt so close as I listen to the record with the warmth from the black flame burning strong inside.

Its an release for all those out there how appreciate all occult female fronted metal bands out there, and this is absolutely one of the better once.

Today's release are of the more punkish kind with influences of both black metal and heavy metal. But how does this chaos odorous concoction sound like? Pretty much what you think it would sound, its primitive, catchy and has the ability to start a mosh pit of genocide.

The punk elements are obvious the dominant part of the record and that's great, it brings the feeling of destruction and endless beer drinking. Best served with a jug of the finest moonshine and a post-stress syndrome.

GRADE

With a name that oozes death metal comes the blackened thrash metal attack Dismemberment right at you!!! Their first full-length release consists of an devilish intensity and a kind of catchiness to it. It constantly have the adrenaline pumping at a steady thrashing pace with some black metal tones interrupting with some blast beats.

Its an album that are easy as fuck to take in with its bite size songs and catchy driving forward thrash riffs that are so familiar, but I can't get tired of this stuff.

Are you in the mood for some melodic black metal that have a foul smell of the late nineties, then the latest release from Winter of Sin will fit you perfectly. They even offers up some great death metal influences in the music that fits thus violent creation well.

It may not be the most grim and infernal evil record you ever have heard, but if you're into something thats easy to take in at a first listening, then here you have it, give it a shot!!!

Here we have a CD that I have been holding on to for a while. Not because any lack of time, but for the reason that this album are hard to judge. Its so complex, having so many layers and influences from different genres. It takes a lot of elements from folk metal in general and mixes in some death metal to create this soundtrack for battle!!!

You can hear music from the middle east, tribal music and even some celtic stuff in this Ireland/Poland collaboration. It sounds very authentic and believable, much thanks to the fantastic female vocals from Anna Malarz. She creates an beautiful and dreadful atmosphere with her chanting and yoiks. Together with an array of instruments from around the world like the jew harp, djembe and didgeridoo.

Its like stepping into a different time, right after a big pagan battle have taken place on a foggy bloodstained meadow with the bodies laying there, penetrated by spears and axes. Feeling the calm after the battle and the warmth from the funeral pyre burning strong with an orchestra messing and dancing in the flickering flames. Thats pretty much what this album makes me feel and its a bloody good feeling. Well worth a listening or two!!!

REVIEW Necromessiah - The Last Hope of Humanity...

Now are we taking real fucking black'n'roll!!! This must be the closest you ever will come to a worthy equivalent to fucking Motorhead (especially the track "Returned from Hell") in BM format!!! Im totally fucking ecstatic over my alcohol soaked head for this release. It so demonically catchy that i fucking cum in my pants in excitement!!! I had no idea that this old school painted cover had this adrenaline and alcohol fueled rock n roll with shitloads of thrash metal (the good fucking kind!) hidden underneath. Everything i fucking crave for is here, the dirty and quite dominant Motorhead odorous bass, guitar riffs that are as much thrashy as they are catchy as fuck!!! Vocals filled with attitude and a hellish rage and drums that tie this bloodsoaked sac of endless drinking and havoc together!!! Enough fucking writing, I order you to grab a sixpack of beer and the foulest whiskey you ever could find and just start pouring it while listening to this rock n roll beast, or should I just fucking say Goat & Roll!!!

REVIEW Azziard - Vésanie

Now we are entering the sick and twisted domain of this french five man strong group!!! They bring to us a more modern type of BM that reminds me of bands like Khold and Gehenna to name a few. Pay attention to that they are modern in the right way, without adding any techno elements or making it an gay gothfeast!!! Its rather an logicall evolvement of the genre building on a solid ground with more weight on the technical level and some death metal added as an extra spice to this deadly cocktail. They keep it interesting all the way with a kind of hypnotic and bit catchy riffs with some DM swing to it! Its a great mix that commutes between classical midtempo to the blastbeat stuff and add some solos to that. The lyrics are as you probably understand in their mothers tongue, and they are delivered in an appropriate manner with a more darker and rabid tone to them. They have also given the guitars a great dirty but clean (like a maniac in a clean straightjacket) sound to them, which gives a real heaviness to the album!!! If you're tired of the old and cold shit, look up this absurd release!!!

REVIEW Inferno - Omniabsence Filled by His Greatness

The Czech band Inferno (one of the trillions!!!) probably don't need any introduction, as they are in my opinion one of the more interesting active bands to date. They always has the ability to deliver something that feels genuine but at the sametime current, and the latest procreation aren't any exception, even if I had my doubts the first time I heard it. Their sixth full-length album surprised me substantially, they have taken a big leap from their last album "Black Devotion" (which were infernal consummate!!!) and left a lot of the straight black'n'rolling sound behind for a more epic tone. They conjure up a grand temple with the bombastic guitars as the pillars and the marvelous lyrics as the altar, all covered with the fantastic productions as the altar cloth!!! They make you travel through the gates into the dark, horrible and beautiful untreated wilderness. The opus fills you with wisdom you couldn't even imagine (and stays there in a secluded area of your consciousness for a long time) in form of its almost excellent written and performed songs. This is an album you can't miss, maybe even one of the most important albums from last year!!! I command you to check it up now!!!

REVIEW Celeste - Animale(s)

Straight from the misery on the streets of France comes this lengthy (double disc) fearsomely beautiful and almost poetic tale about some real matters. This is some deep shit I must tell you, this ain't something you just dust of your shoulders like some dead skin cells. This is an album that affects you, both in the lyrics and how the music are performed. The combination of post-hardcore and sludge mixed with BM is an really interesting concept, and it works great in reality too. It delivers something that kind of feels unique in its way, but simultaneously stands on a solid ground. One thing is certain that it functions very well to bring out emotions! The slow (and heavy as a lead pipe) grinding guitars with some string picking builds up a great miserable atmosphere of desperation. Most of the album is actually in a slow pace, without making it bland in anyway, and Im glad the chosed to do it this way for it fits the weekdays monotoni perfectly! They succeeds keeping it interesting throughout the whole almost 70 minutes long record regardless, and always excogitating some new interesting elements into the music to find. This is some heavy stuff with a meaning that still feels fresh, you should definitely check them out!!!

REVIEW Guerra Total - El Armagedón Continúa

I'm going to begin for a change from the the last track for this review,  for it describes best whatta hell this is, Black Speed Rock and Roll!!! You can really hear the speed and thrash influences of the eighties pumping though the diesel tubes of this abnormal beast!!! And its more catchy than a pedophile on a picnic with honey all over his pecker. Its fast, its loud and rough with fantastic guitar riffs working hard through the record in the pace of a leopard on speed!!! This shit really starts your adrenalin pumping and want you to start to thrash every fucking shit in your way and finish it all up with a golden shower in an arctic cold beer keg. The riffs are on a high fucking level in the early Bay Area vain. The production is a perfect match with a lot of wight laying on the guitars and placing the vocals and drums a bit lower. The texts mixes between english and spanish with the typical lyrical themes, war, satan, zombies and the inevitable end!!! So why the hell are you still sitting down and reading this shit?!? Put this fucker on now!!!

REVIEW BlackShore - Terror

After what feels like an eternal slumber has the blog risen again from the abyss to deliver the first review for the year. Yeah, okay, its a release from last year, but the piles of records are as high as the infernal fires, so its a lot of shit to go through, so on to the review!!! 

And what a fucking great record this is!!! I can hardly believe what I hear, music doesn't get much better than this, if you ask me. To try to be a little objective at least (but hey, fuck it!) its the third release from this german band, and they fucking nailed every part of this recording, from the opening with the mandatory George Orwell quote throughout the whole assmelting record, with every note smashing like a an atomic blow. This is an adrenaline filled nuclear attack through your eardrum filled with the greatest elements of black-, thrash metal, catchy rock'n'roll and punk together with a lot of fucking attitude. You have to be a mongoloid if you don't understand or like this shit!!! It speaks to you every primitive nerve and instinct, you just want to fuck everything, and let the primordial drunkenness flow free through your body. This is probably one of the greatest record from last year, and definitely nothing you want to miss!!!

REVIEW Carpe Noctem - In Terra Profugus

First thing first, don't get deceived by the banal name of this Icelandic band, the band is far fucking better than the unimaginative name. As a matter of fact they are fucking awesome, this album is like a gift from the chasm below (with maybe a little exaggeration). This is a real fucking marvel of technical BM that are an interesting wormride throughout the whole faulstinking album. They deliver unto us a ably and well played album that almost has a life on its own, with a lot of jazz influences to name a few. I might be a little too positive here now, but i fuckin love every tone that rings out from the sulphurous speakers. And it have the ability to stay interesting no matter how many times I hear it, its so complex, so nightmarish dreamy and terrible beautiful!!!

REVIEW The Ruins of Beverast - Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer

This were a kind of a hard album to review, even though I have listen to it multiple times and dedicated a lot of thoughts on it. This a concept album if you already haven't thought that out?! Its about the old german inquisitor Heinrich Kramer as the album title suggests. So you could call it kind of a epic album, it haves a lot off different parts of music and are astonishingly varied on its gigantic 78 minutes of story telling. Its like a high fiber diet this album, you now its fucking good, but it really takes a long fuckin time to digest, but its bloody worth it!!! There are a lot of appropriate church organs and really good mood setting guitars here that brings you right in front of the bloodstain alter. This is a release you really don't want to miss!!! Give it the fucking time it deserves, for this is a infernal fucking good album!!!

REVIEW Hatul - Widergeist

My first thoughts when I heard this record was; oh great another mediocre BM that brings nothing new and are more like some fucking elevator music, but this recording has more to offer. The problem is however that I can't really put my finger on why I like this shit. Maybe its the grinding frost ridden riffs that guides you through the album in a captivating way with a gritty distortion sound on them. And top that with solid songwriting that don't wander off to far from the classical BM recipe. They definitely have something great going on here.
