Gand what they can expect from this record?

# 1/2007
G
reetings Sadist! Soon you’ll have released a
debut album. Maybe for a start you will tell
all of those less-informed what, where, how
and what they can expect from this record?
hear more such fragments performed by Bestial
Raids. Are those slow parts some kind of experiment or
it just came out like this?
We don’t afraid slower parts in our music. In fact those
parts are like pure essence of Evil in our music. Be sure to
hear much more slower parts in upcoming Bestial Raids
releases. No, this wasn’t any experiment, if someone
carefully listening Bestial Raids, knows for sure that in
our tracks always was slow-downs, just listen “The Last
Communion” or “Order of Doom” tracks.
HELL! Yes, In the 30 of April our debut full-length CD
will be finally unleashed by unholy banner of Morbid
Moon Records from Canada. LP version should be
available in the end of the year, I think. Everyone who
knows Bestial Raids should know what to expect from
us. Bestiality, chaos, blasphemy, filth and EVIL!
“Reversed Black Trinity” is like a culmination of our
earlier works with more massive production and better
compositions. Nothing more to say.
I like the sound of “Reversed Black Trinity”, for sure it
will sadden all sympathizers of digital, sugary sound.
It is sordid and just stinks of underground! Where and
in what time did you recorded this stuff? I suppose that
you have divided the recordings over a year, on
5 sessions, at 4 continents, in 6 countries, with 8 sound
engineers, and you still aren’t fukking satisfied, he,
he...
I, by myself, am already after several listenings to
“Reversed Black Trinity” and I can say that with
every next release you are progressing. Yes, you are
still playing a chaotic Black/Death Metal, but it
seems like you are more controlling this chaos (not
losing anything from the spontaneity), and by the
way you are working out some of your own style.
Will you agree with this statement?
Well, I wouldn’t say that our newest material is different
from our earlier works. I think that your words are
caused by better sound production of “RBT”, nothing
else. Indeed, our songs are better now, with much more
powerful sound, but don’t forget that blasphemous
chaos prevails in Bestial Raids. During composing
process we didn’t think about other bands, but only
about receiving dark, thick atmosphere of
compositions, destructive effect of song structures and
devastating, raw UG production. Nothing more.
proclaim the return of trend after listening “RBT” from
mp3 files, without seeing cover, lyrics etc. Indeed, I’m
bored by such questions.
A huge surprise for me are some tracks on “Reversed
Black Trinity”, which are exceedeing the 6 minutes! It is
hard to miss, that with every next release you are
lengthening the songs duration, moreover with the
positive result. It is a big challenge for a band playing in
such climate! Are you creating those longer
compositions totally spontaneously, or you have to sit on
it and combine some?
“Reversed Black Trinity” was captured during few dark
hours of recording in our rehearsal room and few hours of
mixing in our so called “studio”. The sound is crushing, as
on our taste. We don’t need any long hours in pro studios,
re-mastering, sound engineers, triggers, clean guitar parts,
plastic solos etc. We are what we are, and for sure we know
THE BEST what sound we want to have. Oh, by the way,
I don’t give a fuck about some shit-talking idiots spitting
at our sound.
I know that you are tired of all those comparisons
to Blasphemy, Beherit or Conqueror, and especially
questions about a supposed trend for such playing.
I am sure that in case of “Reversed Black Trinity” it
will be the same. Frankly speaking after listening to
this record, the first association is Blasphemy,
however with every next listening I felt that
I compared you to Canadians mostly through
the vocals, which in some parts are similar.
Regarding the pure music, for sure it isn’t a fukking
rip-off. Some comment?
As I said before, chaos prevails in our work. I don’t
calculate our tracks, the wholeness of “Reversed Black
Trinity” is straight and to the point, so we didn’t have any
special rehearsals with those longer tracks, just usual
rehearsing. I don’t care if we attack with 6 min. or 2 min.
bulldozer. Wait for our future releases, we have ideas on
much longer compositions than 6 min. Indeed, band which
plays Death/Black Metal usually compose much shorter
tracks, but I’m bored by such senseless pseudo grind 3 sec.
Farts.
Do you know what especially I like in Bestial Raids?
You are connected with few labels, in different parts of
the world, which theoretically should make you some
promotion. However you are not sitting on your asses,
not counting the royalties, but for fukk’s sake you are
also promoting yourself on your own. And lot of super
groups are sitting at their homes after they record
a super album and spits out how shitty are the labels,
because there are no interviews, advertisements, bla,
bla... What am I driving at. Lot of bands pisses on the
underground, don’t even know what is a xeroxed ’zine.
And as you show it, with a real involve in your doings,
you can really gain some esteem in many parts of the
world, about which sometimes we don’t even realize.
Will you agree with me in this matter?
My vokills are inspired by Blasphemy, I won’t deny.
But who the fuck cares. Music itself is different, we
have a lot of different inspirations. Trends, trends…
only pathetic dumb/deaf wanker from web forum will
It is hearable on “Reversed Black Trinity”, that you are
realizing not only in massive attack, but also in slower
parts, wich have a power too. I’ll say more, I’d like to
Yeah, there are a lot of fuckers who can only talk about
everything, but in fact they’re sitting in front of a desktop
and watching underground through monitor. These
pathetic pigs talk about the trends, but they won’t spend
any bucks on letters, packages etc. I don’t care about
something like “respect”, we are where we are by our
devotion, nothing more. Bestial Raids is UG band, so
we won’t be promoted by any big magazines, big
labels or shit like that. Promotion is not the point,
I like to trade with other Satanic bands, ’zines and UG
distros/labels, so stuff of BR have appeared in lots of
distros in whole fucking globe. We all like UG splittapes, rehearsals, live-recordings, so a lot of our work
appeared on such releases in the past (spreading our
name, by the way), that’s all.
Generally are you satisfied with the current
Bestial Raids status in the undergound? As
I noticed your name passes in really many ’zines,
and often is mentioned by other bands. It makes
an impression, all the more because Bestial Raids
exists only 4 years...
I don’t care are we known or not, we aren’t any “part
of elite”. As I mentioned above, I like to trade, so our
name was spread quickly in worldwide underground.
Is Bestial Raids, as a band, identyfies itself with
some ideology, or you have something concrete to
hand on from yourself?
Band without ideology is worthless. We all obey the
Devil in form of: cruelty, destruction, blasphemy,
chaos, suicide, rape, extermination, war, murder,
NOCTURNAL VOMIT have recorded track at
compilation LP, which should be released later in
2007 by Calabozo Rec. The title of this track is
“Screams from the Tomb” and it really reeks with
corpse and old school Death Metal. Also there should
be available some t-shirts; “Divine Profanation” stuff
pressed on CD (Morbid Moon Rec.) and debut
MCD/MLP. 3-way split EP with Embrace of Thorns
and Heptameron is still unreachable. How long it
takes yet? Only master Satan knows.
HEPTAMERON have finished their debut album
called “Grand Masters of the Final Harvest”. CD
should be available by Time Before Time Rec.
already. This album is definitely worth of attention.
Expect the return of old Greek school of Black Metal
mixed with this one from Switzerland!
Beware the other, yet unknown, bands from Hellas
called SWAMP and SADOLUST. First one plays
killer Death/Thrash mayhem in vein of Possessed,
Slaughter with touch of Greek feeling. Now they are
preparing 7” Ep called “Nuclear Death” and some
tape split. SADOLUST is uncontrolled
Sadomasochistic Goatworshipping
Black/War/Grind/Noise Chaos in vein of early
Impaled Nazarene or Nuclear Death; their rehearsal
demo called “Violent Fetish” is just insane!
Apocalyptic Shirt Prod. have released t-shirt of
Russian Black Metal Kommando called
PSEUDOGOD! The limit is very small (33 copies),
so get it quickly if it’s still possible.
The 4-th issue of RITUAL MURDER ’ZINE is done,
so expect tones of Black/Death Metal, blasphemy,
perversion, deviation, sadism, disgust and Satanism
in purest UG form!
RUINS plays old school Black/Thrash Metal, for
once called “retro”. Well, I don’t give a fuck, cause
they’ve recorded crushing demo tape called
“Baptised in the Name of Satan”, which is nothing
more than homage to gods called Bathory or Sodom.
Also other demo tape is done but I didn’t hear it. Keep
an eye on them.

You didn’t played too many gigs. Don’t you
have any offers, or you just have some excessive
requirements? What do you think about bands or
their labels paying for the possibility of playing
with better known bands?
We usually playing live 3 times per year, so our live
performances are rare. I regret few times, we had
played, but shit happens. Sometimes the crowd are too
stupid to receive our message. We won’t play
everywhere, cause this is senseless to play for some
metallicavaderbehemothdimmuborgirfans. No, we
haven’t any big demands. About second part of your
question, no comment. Idiocy and hypocrisy of human
pigs is overwhelming.
Bestial Raids have already in discography lot of
different releases. Knowing you, for sure you have
some ideas for next productions. Is it known
concretely what it will be?
At his point we have one split Ep in plans, too early to

Again” MCD/TAPE is something which any
extreme deviant devoted to UG shouldn’t miss;
putrid warfare noise of Bestial Warlust or
Conqueror is streaming from the pits of Hell
once again! VIOLENT ATTACK have finished
their debut album, which is reanimation of an
old Slayer’s style (“Hell Awaits” era!!!).
EJECUTOR (Chainsaw members!) attacks with
Demo/Reh tape in vein of Sarcofago, Mutilator
or Sex-Thrash. DEMONIC RAGE kills with
infernal Death Metal in vein of Incantation,
Crucifier or Bestial Warlust; sulphur sound,
deep slow-downs and the Devil’s breath just
streaming from their releases; and their new
“Demo II 2006” have just blown my head off,
believe me. Also take look on PROSELYTISM
which is a label, distribution and ’zine in one.
Later in this year should be out split LP
MORBOSIDAD/BLASPHEMOPHAGHER!
I don’t know the title, label or precise date, but
one thing I know for sure: nuclear desolation is
near!
BLASPHEMOPHAGHER still doesn’t slowing
down. In the middle of 2007 by French Crush
Until Madness Records there will be out a split
7”EP “Triumph Of Abominations” with
NECROHOLOCAUST. Keep an eye on these
Canadians. ‘Bestial Saviour Of The Undead
Legions’ tells you something? If not, then they
won’t interest you at all.
Spanish bestial horde from Hades called

“Messiah of Darkness of Impurity” for sure will

HELLISH have recorded few tracks at the promo
“The Call of Azathoth” and split Ep with Bestial
Raids. Old Thrash/Black/Death Metal spirits are still
alive!
EMPHERIS have released split live-tape with
Revelation of Doom and “Promo 2006”, both
releases are very tasty in my opinion. If you don’t
know them expect Thrash Metal with Black elements
which are very similar to Desaster releases.
TEMPLE OF ADORATION ’zine issue 1 is out
(continuation of Summon for Satan ’zine?) and it is
just astonishing. One of the better ’zines nowadays.
There are few mistakes, but for sure it will be
corrected in next issues. Also check Sodomistic
Rituals Prod/Distro which is another UG activity of
Philip, editor of ToA.
Later this year DROWNED’s “Viscera Terræ” demo,
being reviewed in this letter, will be pressed onto 12”
Vinyl by Nuclear Winter Records.
It seems like the EMBRACE OF THORNS debut
was released on tape by Sodomistic Rituals
Productions in limited to 300 copies edition. In the
middle of 2007 it should be available also on LP by
Iron Bonehead Productions.
Newest stuff of Polish EVILFEAST is already
recorded. It should be out on the turn of summer as
a split CD/MC with Hungarian Marblebog. Can it
has be released by awakened Alles Stenar?
Fallen Angel 666 has just re-released on CD third
demo “Stacheldraht” of Polish / German NEBIROS
playing an old-school Black Metal. Their first fulllength “Komando 666” was recorded already in 2005
but till now the matter of a label is still unknown. Not
waiting for this, Blachur and Solvernus are working
on the new stuff, which suppose to be ass-kicking.
There is available a new (third) issue of Black Blood
’zine from Hellas. Inside you can read among the
others about Bestial Raids, Morbosidad, Beast
Petrify, Embrace Of Thorns, Nocturnal Graves,
Inside... A whole is written in English on 40 pages.
Review of #2 you can find in this letter. Generally
this item is worth of attention.
ANIMA DAMNATA “Atrocious Disfigurement of the
Redeemer’s Corpse at the Graveyard of Humanity”
CD 2006
[Morbid Moon Rec.]
Anima Damnata had real problems with line-up and labels
in last years, but now they are back with new, second, fulllength. Yes, they playing common music nowadays, but
how many bands plays Death/Grind filled with such
sickness, blasphemy, evil felling and devotion?! Rabid,
violent attacks are overwhelming here. There is no place to
hide among all those twisted riffs and ultra-fast drums.
Vomiting vocals are killer, with all those high screams,
shrieks and low growls. On this CD you won’t find anything
new, but who cares?! Anima Damnata brings torment,
destruction and spiting with Satanic venom at the faces of
christian pigs. I have only one objection, on this release
they’re sound much more technical and clean. Don’t get me
wrong, this CD have good sound, but I prefer this one from
their earlier works (especially “Tormenting..” MCD).
Sound of this CD is too clean as on my taste, but this is only
my opinion. Ok, that’s all, get this piece of blasphemy
immediately.

BLACK BLOOD ’zine No. 2
(A4, 48 pages, English)
I have also a debut issue of this ’zine, so I can compare both
of editions. Maybe I’ll start from the fault, which is the lot of
wasted paper. In first issue the most irritating were too big
characters, huge margins and filling free spaces with flyers.
In this matter nothing has been changed, maybe beside less
number of pasted flyers. However interviews are
improving, they are longer and there are more interesting
questions. The same is with reviews, which aren’t just a note
of 4-5 short sentences now! It appears that Ayfandis is
raising the mark of his ’zine and it allows to hope that Black
Blood ’zine will raise beyond the common mediocrity.
Meantime, in No. 2 you can read about: Chaosbaphomet,
Martyrvore, Putrefied Genitalia, Crucifire, Heptameron,
Deathevocation, Godless and Frozen Forest.

CULTES DES GHOULES “Angel of Poison and Death”
Demo Tape 2006
[Enochian Tongues]
Undoubtedly some will be surprised that someone still
records demos on the tape, and moreover releases such
strange thing with xeroxed cover. In case of Cultes Des
Ghoules not only edition reminds the old times, but also
their music refers to the past years, and concretely to the
beginning of 90’s. “Angel of Poison and Death” just stinks
of Norwegian Black Metal, this raw and sordid one, with the
specific, Scandinavian feeling, which you won’t find now in
Norway, or at least not on such scale, as 15 years ago. Vocals
in Cultes Des Ghoules are making a very big impression,
they are just... insane! Seems like being inspired by early
Beherit. I recommend “Angel of Poison and Death”
especially for those, who are searching in music for more
sick, disquieting climate, than extreme onslaught, and who
are not scared with the ‘cellar’ dirt and harshness. Pure,
fukking underground!

DEMONIC SLAUGHTER “Dignity of Terror”
CD 2007
[Death Dealers Association]
I was very surprised by this material, shit I couldn’t believe
my ears! What a piece of infernal blasphemy. Everything
here is just possessed, from vocals to guitar hell-noise. This
stuff has perfect sound in my ears, great raw production of
Black Metal. Music is very uncommon and far away from
Norwegian school of playing. This is like the hybrid of Von,
Hell Militia, Mayhem or early (un-gay) Anaal Nathrakh
(I think about the sound and morbid atmosphere of those
tracks). Those psychopaths have added some sick intros to
make the wholeness yet much more sick! Total
recommendation!

DEPTCHARGE ’zine No. 3
(A4, 68 pages, English)
Deptcharge felt into my hands for the first time, and it
immediately made on me a very good impression. Firstly
I like its layout. It looks like it is possible to join a little of
modernity (computer) with the old methods (scissors, glue)
and make something sensible. It looks simply, but it has
inside something from an old underground spirit ;) Of
course only the appearance doesn’t make this ’zine worthy.
The interviews are also looking well. Maybe not all are on
Revievs
the highest mark, but Paul have managed to ask few
concrete questions. For sure worth of attention are
interviews with Victimizer, Corpus Christii, Hellish
Crossfire, Karnarium, or Darkthrone. Of course there are
also reviews and some news, but unfortunatelly not too
much. Besides you’ll find in Deptcharge few contact
addresses to some ’zines, labels, bands and Rip Off list. I see
on this list a familiar name - Juan Nalverte of Devil Arts.
Watch out for this bastard!

DROWNED “Viscera Terræ” Demo Tape 2006
[Black Warcult Productions]
Yeah, killer stuff. Death Metal with additional Thrash
influences is something you can hear from this demo. Killer
sound, deadly riffs and dark atmosphere which those maniax
have created is just astonishing. Vocals are deep, obscure
(well known singer called Mors Dalos Ra) and with
characteristic style. Every track have own face and definitely
not bores the listener, tempos are rather mid with faster
moments and few slow downs and additional keyboards,
which creates mysterious feeling. Killer piece of
blasphemous dark Death Metal. Get it quickly!

EMBRACE OF THORNS ”For I See Death in Their

I don’t know exactly who and when will release it but one
thing I know for sure, this album is just crushing. On this
debut full-length these Greeks have created something killer.
Chaos, blasphemy, deviation an sickness are things I think
about while listening of this abomination! On this album EoT
have reached the level which only few bands can reach.
I think they play more in Death Metal vein that in case of their
earlier works, or is this just a case of sound (which is crushing
by the way), I don’t know for sure. Anyway, this music I can
describe as a deadly mixture of Incantation, Bestial Warlust,
Beherit and Sarcofago! Death Metal sounding riffs mixed
with Black Metal feeling and ultra blasts, can you imagine
that?! Total Recommendation!

GHEESTENLAND / GRIM FUNERAL - Split CD 2006
[Obscure Abhorrence / Eisenwald]
Split with two German Black Metal bands. Gheestenland
opens this party, and unfortunately makes it not too heartedly,
at least on the beginning. Guys are playing classic, very
foreseeable, sometime clumsy Black Metal, which isn’t
rising above the average commonness. Tempos are slow and
medium, sound is raw, but not ‘from the garage’. For sure
commonplace ideas and derivative playing are grating,
though when key passages and slower paces are appearing,
the band even manages to create some dark climate. In such
moments Gheestenland looks decidedly better.
Grim Funeral also isn’t an original work, but it makes a great
impression. It can be said that music perfectly reflects the
band’s name. Grim Funeral plays cold, dismal, dark Black
Metal in mid-tempos, with a little lunatic, histerical vocal.
I remember that I was similarly impressed by Obtained
Enslavement and their “Centuries Of Sorrow”. I mean of
course the same feeling and insane, satanic climate. In this
way Grim Funeral just crushes!

GOAT TYRANT “Necromantical Curse” Demo Tape
2006
[self released]
Goat Tyrant belong to the bands, which cultivates an old
school of Black/Death Metal, so it is relatively simple, raw
and archaic playing. Of course, in this case we can’t expect
any revelations, so there remains a matter if band plays with
balls or just rehashes some old patents without any
inspiration. Here it can be said that this band has what every
man should have between the legs, but not always can
properly use his ‘instrument’ ;) To be brief, “Necromantical
Curse” is good to listening, but unfortunately not every song
can ravish, so to say. Guys have the right models, because
they are obtaining from Bathory, Hellhammer or Nihilist (on
“Necromantical Curse” you’ll find their cover), the sound is
maybe a little ‘from garage’, but everything what has to be is
hearable. They have some skills but unfortunately there are
some moments, which just lacks of the claw. I hope that Goat
Tyrant will still get going and in nearly future will kick some
asses.

Hell, this is piece of killer Black/Thrash attack. Sound is
powerful, tracks are non boring, vocalists screams pretty
maniacal and so on. It’s obvious that everyone will
compare Hellspirit to so called “retro” Black/Thrash, but
I hear in their music something more than silly cloning of
Bathory, Venom, Destruction; sometimes I hear at this
demo mystical echoes of Mortuary Drape, which is
something uncommon nowadays! Ok, all for now,

INCARNATED “Pleasure Of Consumption” CD
2006 [Selfmadegod Records]
I thought that I know this band to some extent, though they
didn’t felt into my mind enough to recognize their music.
After turning on the “Pleasure Of Consumption” I thought
that something’s wrong, because firstly Incarnated doesn’t
come from Sweden, but from Poland, and secondly I don’t
remember that Pierœcieñ & Co. were playing an old-school
Swedish Death Metal ever. I have satisfied myself that
I had to fukk up something, and accidentally I threw some
Swedish band into the player. So I turned it off right away,
and checked out. And shit! True enough. It was really
Incarnated, which still acts in Poland, and plays Death
Metal with this fukking, Swedish sound, well-known from
classical albums of Entombed, Dismember etc. Yeah! And
this is what I really like! Death Metal in old, typical
Swedish style. Maybe “Pleasure Of Consumption” isn’t a
genius work, for sure it can’t be compared with the
classics, but fukk this! These guys are playing simply,
rather foreseeable, but with a big kick. Personally I think
that vocal doesn’t fit here too much. In my opinion it would
be better realized in some more extreme Death Metal.
Beside the new stuff there are also included some bonus
tracks from 1997. These three songs presents a little
different band’s face, and concretely more brutal Death
Metal massacre, which isn’t so simple and ‘Swedish’.
However they’re still keeping their mark.

The newest album of German Katharsis is nothing more
than classic Black Metal release in highest level of
morbity, evil, sickness, disgust and cult! Yes, this album is
definition of a word CULT! Everything here is just perfect
and stinking with the Devil and Death. This Evil spirit is
present here in every possible second, believe me. I could
compare this album to the earlier “Kruzifixxion”, but why?
Both are great, but this one is much more total than all their
previous albums. Each track is possessed, sometimes
slower, with catchy riffs (”Wytch Dance”!!!), sometimes
fast as hell (”Eden Below”), but wholeness is very
coherent, straight and to the point. The whole LP looks
astonishing as always in case of NoEvDia release. Well,
get this LP or CD as soon as possible, cause this is one of
the best BM releases ever!

KULTO MALDITO “Kulto Maldito” MC 2006
[Diabolous Records]
Recently I was fortunate in getting the records of few
bands from Bolivia, among the others Kulto Maldito
exactly, which next to Bestial Holocaust seems to be one
of the most interesting bands from this country. Sound of
this recording is comparable to those from before dozen
or so years, and I don’t know if it is an intention, or just
everybody in Bolivia plays like that nowadays. If this
first, then it is right to congratulate these gentlemen for the
model rendition of old, archaic Death Metal spirit! On the
other hand if the Bolivian scene looks just like that, and
that is far behind what is happening with Metal for e.g. in
Europe, then for fukk’s sake, soon I expect more such
killers. For a long time I haven’t heard such band, who
would play so foreseeable, simply (but not common),
have a raw, sordid sound, and what the most important,
have an outstanding old-school climate! Lately lot of
bands pretends to remind the spirit of so-called old times,
but in most cases it is made without a feeling, they just
miss this ‘something’. Believe me, you’ll find this
‘something’ in Kulto Maldito, and you’ll remember for
e.g. the old recordings of Colombian Masacre. Fukk!

NECROS CHRISTOS “Triune Impurity Rites” CD
2007 [Sepulchral Voice Rex]
Finally the Beast of Necros Christos has captured their
debut album. This one is the best Death Metal album in
last few years, believe me or not, I just don’t care. I cannot
listen this CD in normal state of mind. Those Necromants
take my spirit somewhere beyond this world of light,
straight into rotten crypt where they perform the black
masses, rites of necromancy and invocation of the master
Satanas. “Triune Impurity Rites” is POSSESSED with
those dark, whispered (sometimes acoustic) intros and
voodoo drum rhythms! Atmosphere of this album is Evil
and Occult to the bone! Human words can’t describe the
ancient wisdom and power of this CD. I shouldn’t
separate this album on tracks, but I must to write that:
“Last Rites of Christ”, “Va Koram Do Rex Satan”, “Christ
was not of Goatborn Blood” or the title one (separated on
three parts) are just highlights and for sure live-killers! I
cannot imagine ANY bad review of this album, I just
can’t. This album isn’t to listen but to worship. Brilliant
Masterpiece of Evil, Occult Death Metal.

proper to enlighten all of those less informed, that
‘Necroscope’ is now the longest existing ’zine in Poland,
and for sure in the whole world it yields to not many
magazines. Adam not only beats everyone hollow with
his long lasting work, but also considering the gathered
stuff and essential contents. His interviews are straying
from the short, brief inquiries, so don’t expect any
standard, obvious questions. In 18-th issue there are
interviews among the others with: Varathron,
Cacodaemon, Angelgoat, Merciless Crucifixion,
Nocturnal Vomit, Martyrvore, Caustic... The next big
advantage of ‘Necroscope’ are several hundred of
objective, very concretely written reviews from all over
the world’s underground. Indeed there is a lot of reading!
This ’zine is xeroxed, without graphic. Full
recommendation!

NIFELHEIM / SADISTIK EXEKUTION “Tribute
to Slayer Magazine” Split 7”EP 2006
[Nuclear War Now!]
Hell-yeah! Nifelheim is back! “Gates of Damnation”
track has blown my head away! Obsessed screams,
“Metal to the bone” riffs and a bit of melody was always
trademark of Nifelheim, nothing has changed, just pure
Black/Thrash/Heavy/Speed Metal! I await their album
soon, I hope. SadEx has putted here “Demon with Wings”
stuff, so nothing new. Just FUKKING DEATH! The
whole release looks brilliant so get it, if it’s still possible,
especially for Nifelheim side.

PSEUDOGOD “Illusion of Salvation” Demo Tape
2006
[Satanic Propaganda]
From the cold lands of Russia attacks the rotten plague
called Pseudogod. They have recorded just one demo, but
they are very well experienced, skilled and obsessed
maniacs. “Illusion of Salvation” has only two tracks with
total playing time over 12 minutes, but its enough to
spread the plague of Satan among the UG freaks and kill
with its power. Pseudogod vomits with morbid Black
Metal blood in vein of Katharsis, Funeral Mist, Watain
and sometimes Archgoat or Profanatica. They are far
away of the common “religious Black Metal” band and
definitely non boring, as the newcomming bands from
this style. Bestiality and devotion streams from this demo
tape, so I believe that they will spit much more killer
blasphemies in future. Total recommendation!

SATANIK METAL No. 1
(A4, 24 pages, English)
Satanik Metal is a debut ’zine from Poland. For now it is
thin, somewhere round for two hours of reading.
Interesting selection of bands, beside the well-known
Moder or Embrace Of Thorns, we can read also
interviews with Imperial Hordes, Unholy War, Violent
Attack and Human Paranoid. Interviews are short, with
standard questions, from which we’ll find out about the
basic informations of the given bands. Almost the second
half of ’zine is reserved for reviews. And here big advantage
for true underground stuff, none of the official releases!
Reviews are rather short but to the point. Moreover we have
also two gig reports. Unfortunatelly big fault is that Artur
have waisted lot of place, which could be filled up with
much more different stuff. The truth is that if characters in
interviews were smaller and the inserted flyers were thrown
out, then Satanik Metal would shrink more to already not
large size. Artur assures me that the next issue will be more
finished up in this matter. Let us hope so. Good luck!

SLUGATHOR “Circle Of Death” CD 2005
[Time Before Time Records]
I always have heard and read about this band in nothing but
superlatives. Death Metal of these Finns simply
supposed to squash me into the ground. I got their one
record, I have listened to, and... would like to shout ‘Arggghhh! This is it!’. Slugathor plays Death Metal in the
full sense of the word, in decidedly greater part not breaking
loose beyond the mid-slow tempos, with heavy, massive
sound, and sepulchral vocal. With its atmosphere “Circle Of
Death” refers to the turn of the 80’s, when Death Metal on
the one hand was brutal, sordid, but on the other had the
dark, diabolic climate. Do you remember for e.g.
Goreaphobia, Rottrevore, Asphyx or at least old Vital
Remains? Yeah! Those were times ;) Slugathor doesn’t
discover the Death Metal again, but at least reminds how to
play very good Death Metal, in which it appears that to kick
up the ass it isn’t necessary to race at break-neck speed, or to
take refuge in some cheap, studio tricks. Fukk!

SZRON / KRIEGSMASCHINE - Split CD 2006
[Garazel Prod.]
Finally! I’ve waited for this release for a long time. Two best
Black Metal hordes in Poland have joined their forces (for
a second time) against humanity. First one on this release is
Szron; they’re raw, evil and cold. Coldness is streaming
from those tracks, not many hordes can create such cold and
wicked atmosphere in the frames of traditional Black Metal.
Szron has already proofed, that is still possible. I waiting for
their next, second full-length. KSM plays a bit different kind
of Black Metal. Much modern I could say. If you’re
obsessed by such hordes as Deathspell Omega or Watain,
you should check KSM. Those tracks are filled with
religious Black Metal, but they have own face. The “E.” and
“The Fall...” tracks are the best proof for that. Very fresh and
original ideas, I must say. It’s only pity that they had thrown
out their previous drummer, he used to play pretty maniacal
and old-school, but don’t worry new one is also great (and
probably better skilled). Total Recommendation!

SZRON / TOTAL GENOCIDE - Split 7”EP 2006
[Garazel Productions/Putrescence Noire]
If you are bored by new-coming pseudo black metal, plastic
releases, SZRON is for you! This is surely one of the best
hordes in Poland playing raw, traditional to the bone, Black
Metal. These two tracks are just crushing! The “War Hate
Death” track is like a fucking Black Metal bulldozer,
grinding the whole false judeo-christian morality! Yeah,
killer stuff! Total Genocide didn’t impress me. They have
few better moments, but whole stuff is just boring. All at all,
this release is worth of your attention and money, cause
SZRON is something, which any maniac, devoted to real
Black Metal, shouldn’t miss.

TEITANBLOOD / NECROS CHRISTOS
split 7”EP 2006
[Sepulchral Voice Rex.]
Now it’s time to introduce you, great UG jewel. Probably
every one knows each band, but in this case both tracks are
new and officially unreleased. First one is Teitanblood,
which torments with great track, a bit different of their
earlier releases (demo and split with Proclamation). Of
course this one is also fast, furious and dark piece of violent
attack in vein of Profanatica, Archgoat, Von or Blasphemy,
but I think that they had composed own style of rotten and
old Black/Death Metal in this case. Nothing more to add, I
just hope that they will record their full-length soon. Necros
Christos plays nothing new, nothing revealing, but… Death
Metal in their way is just breathtaking. Occult felling,
straight mid-tempo riffing and rotten, deep growl of Mors
Dalos Ra is something so un-convencial nowadays... Killer
piece of Occult Death Metal. Both bands are great so they
(and SVRex too) deserves for total respect for this killer
release.

TEMPLE OF ADORATION ’zine No. 1
56 pages, English written reviews, biographies and
interviews with: Goatpenis, Archgoat, Profanatica,
Goatvomit, Reencarnacion, Mortuorio, Nocturnal Vomit,
Embreace of Thorns, Nuclear War Now! and others... If
you don’t know, I’ll tell you that this UG work is done by
Philip of Summon For Satan ’zine (rip) and Sodomistic
Rituals Prod., so this time we have a deal with honest and
well experienced zine. The whole thing looks just brilliant,
old school cut’n’paste style, a lot of flayers and reviews of
Satanic UG hordes and zines. The interviews are good, but
in few moments the questions are banal or repeat
themselves in few different interviews. But this is just small
stumble, believe me. Almost all interviews are in depth and
interesting. Phil seems to be a real maniac of Goatpenis,
cause he had putted here their very precise biography and
long interview with those crazy Brazilians. Also he had reprinted some old interviews with Nuclear Death and Death
Yell, so we have here also back to the past. All at all great
UG job. Contact Philip, cause he have small label and
distribution with some unknown UG releases.

THRONEUM “The Unholy Ones” MCD 2006
[Deathgasm Records]
I think that I don’t have to introduce this band. For sure
everyone, well-informed in the underground, had an
opportunity of listening to them, and know what he should
expect from this crew. But if anyone has some doubts,
Throneum still plays melodic metalcore, so on the one hand
there’s melody, on the other it is very lively music.
Generally it is sweet, beautiful, nice, just the same as all of
these handsome groups from Sweden and Finland.
Excellent, clear sound gives a really big impression.
Moreover there’s just splendid production, so you won’t
find any sign of dirt and chaos, which can be heard on the
records of sucking, archaic bands playing some shitty ‘oldschool Death Metal’ or something like that. As for my
expert ear, I hear lot of very original music, so I foretell this
band a huge international career. For me it is number one in
the country on Vistula in such way of playing. For
regularity I’ll mention that this record consists of 7 tracks
with intro, and the interested are acknowledging
themselves for being inspired by such bands as Asphyx,
Necrovore and Grotesque. Never heard of, but I think that
these are some other cool bands, who are reaching the topcharts.

TOTAL EXTINCTION “Demo Attack I” CD-R 2006
[self released]
Total Extinction is a project of Brzozak from Blasphemy
Rites. Frankly speaking I was never very fond of one-man
projects, because in most of cases such creatures were
presenting the tragical standard. With Total Extinction it
isn’t so bad, i.e. it is possible to listening. Musically it is
simple, raw and schematic playing in vein of
Hellhammer.You won’t hear anything original on “Demo
Attack I”, I would say that in such climate you’ll find
hundreds of decidedly more interesting bands. So is it
worth to become infatuated with this band? Why not, but
you have to like really simple, raw, minimalistic (there
could be more guitars) way of playing a sordid BlackDoom-Death Metal. Big advantage for suitable vocals, live
‘drums’ (though sometimes irregular), cover of Slaughter
and for creating (unfortunately only in places) quite fine
oldschool feeling. I think that Total Extinction with full
line-up could kick the asses decidedly much stronger.

Voices from the Polish Abyss - The compilation chaos
bootleg 2006
[Necroscope]
For some time Adam, responsible for Necroscope ’zine,
releases also bootlegs presenting old, less known bands (at
least for some people), which were destroying with their
sound in 80’s and 90’s. ”Voices from the Polish Abyss”, as
easy to guess, presents the bands of Polish underground.
For sure it will be a good lesson for the younger group of
listeners, and certainly for people from outside the Poland,
who don’t know old, Polish bands. The compilation is
divided into two parts - “Voice of Thrash” and “Voice of
Devil”. For regularity I’ll add that you will find here 18
bands, among the others: Thrasher Death, Dragon,
Exorcist, Magnus, Cenotaph, Xantotol, Necrolust, Incest,
Taranis... Good set, good lesson of history of Polish
rumble.
