DEMOLITION - Mob Of Wolves MLP

Punk Metal Thrash Hardcore from Nagoya , mostly overseen by the "Squads" that claim to support Punk Metal. Why is that? I don't fuckin' know...maybe Demoliton eat meat & don't like Mad Max movies...Anyway this is great GISM-styled Thrash/HC/Punk with awesome guitar jobs & raw sound. There are few songs off their last MLP re-recorded here and they do sound better than before IMO. This is a slow-creating band but it's worth every penny to invest in. There's still enough vinyls floating around various distros even thou the MLP has been released,what 3-4 years ago? And is limited!...Well, good to see Doraid sold out ther mediocre new LP in 1 day...Go figure.

SATAN'S SATYRS - Lucifer Lives 7"

 This happens when its 2010 and you finally get rid of every genre-barriers and artistic complexes that you ever had and go ahead and blend Black Flag with Black Sabbath and Stooges. Nothing more to add here. This record is the embodiment of 70's & 80's garage rock 'n roll.

KLAGE - Dystopias Wiege LP

Fast , raw sounding orgy of gloomy melody & sleepy roaring vocals. Simplicity meeting complexity. Classical shapes meeting sombre colors . Klage hails from a town where Bach used to kick ass for the most part of his existence. He also has his part on this vinyl and not only where you might think at first.Without any bullshitting, I  say "Dystopias Wiege" is quite something different swimming in the blackmetal gene pool of the mid 2000's.

JOTUNHEIM - JOTUNHEIM LP

Pretty much the defintion of what fast & twisted blackmetal is all about. Great bass playing , razorsharp guitars, raspy vokills , mostly fast drumming and murky production. Some great riffing, subtle tech, good sense for song building. Nothing here is comparable to what this band sounded like on ther last 8-years-ago recording. This is fuckin' lowtuned Kvist going apeshit. Great album & STILL available at various distros.

NÅSTROND - Muspellz Synir LP / CD

The weird phase of Nåstrond started somewhere around the time they did the split 7" w/ Nocternity as much as I know ( Thou I gotta confess I'm not sure). All I remember is that this band wasn't very interesting in early 90's. Not that I claim they were'nt any good, but for me it was more a thing of an extremely sissy record label they had put their debut album at. The label that had like 4 good releases and the rest was utter crap.I get repulsed by that label. Seriously. Now back to Nåstrond...

It seems like there is a whole new concept within their approach. Be it Slagmaur influence, or even industrial music in general, anyhow Nåstrond seems fresh again. It may not be everyone cup of tea but i find this newer shit awesome. It's like blackmetal went industrial and doom yet staying blackmetal 100%. It sounds like out of this world, insane, weird and fuck!... and also very daring. I mean not many would go this way. I fuckin hear Locust Abortion Technician here...and and same time it does sound kind-of orthodox?!  Weird fuckin' shit. Dark & doomy & morbid. Exceptional stuff.

TERATO - The Morbid Wraiths 7"

Promising new act judging by this fairly simple presented two-song output. It could be labeled as Orthodox Black Metal as it sounds huge and smells of Necromorbous yet it's somewhat more chaotic and has a weird structural approach. There's a hint of creativity here yet I know I cannot really decide until' I heard some more material. As I said it sound promising so far. Check it out.

SACRAMENTARY ABOLISHMENT - The River Of Corticone CD

I just had reviewed Manticore's Ritual Cleansing Of The Whore, so I coul'nt let this fucker alone. The thing both Manticore and S.A. had in common is that they have been released at same troubled times and that they both have a historical meaning. In the case of Sacramentary Abolishment it's again the undisputed deathmetal influence, a lot of it from Ohio,...yes, Embalmer for the most part. But these guys were even more revolutionary in their own context. I dare to say this fucker stands right there among my top 3 Canadian albums ever .This shit, as it seems, opened doors to everything the term Canadian War Metal means today. In S.A. you can hear almost every War Metal band there is today. And it was done back in '95 in Alberta fuckin' Canada. Its cold as shit up there. I lived there and I know that. It can be heard here. A fuckin' classic with a fuckin' class.
