BLACK CULT "Cathedral Of The Black Cult" /CD/
June, 09 2016

BLACK CULT Cathedral Of The Black Cult out now

The second full-length album by Croatian Black Metal band.
Containing 10 songs, including Motörhead cover “Kingdom of the Worm”, it's a manifestation of the individual presence of its creators within the Black Metal scene for almost two decades. Each track is a journey into a realm of despair and darkness, mainly due to the harsh vocals and cold & dark guitar melodies that blend perfectly together.
This is not an album that anyone can just 'whack on' in the background willy nilly. It must be listened to intently and taken in like the musical drug that it is. "Cathedral Of The Black Cult" is a flawless, yet intimidating musical experience which will open a portal to another dimension to the listener who's ready to gaze into it.
Streaming melodic riffs in extended phrases form the defining character of each song with representational distinction and progressions towards tonal and rhythmic changes, communicating the purpose of hierarchical sequence observed in nature’s ferociously necessary order of operation, reflected in the substance of the inner-self, magnified in the character of spiritual striving and agonizing existential discovery.
This is pure unsaturated Black Metal in all of its cold fury! There isn’t just grim lyrics reflecting the power of Satan and the beauty of Darkness, but the album actually draws the listener into the world beyond humanity. If you truly understand the music, you will be taken to the dark endless universe!!
This is the future and the past of the Black Metal! This is a masterpiece of Black Metal and Extreme Metal in general!! Every other word and description is pointless...
For fans of: Satyricon, Emperor, Mayhem, and all Black Metal fans in general.
Another Side Records, 2016 (ASR18-125).

June 02, 2016

This all helps to look inside yourself and find a solution that will let you stand on your own two foot.

FAUSTTOPHEL "Sancta Simplicitas" /CD/
March, 31 2016

The second full-length album by Russian Melodic Black/Death Metal band.
Electric polarity between aggressiveness of Black Metal and melodics of instrumental experiments covered by poetic lyrics.
The second album has not lost the distinctive feature of the band - a bilingual lyrics, where original tunes intertwined in Russian and Ukrainian languages, maintaining the mystique of Gogol and soft lullabies melodiousness of folk songs. Poetry has a special place: melo-declamations, fragments of poems of the Silver Age era, joined together with melody of Ukrainian speech.
Fausttophel do not adhere to strict canons as part of its style and constantly experimenting with arrangements. However, in the album clearly heard the old-school sound of music, instead of the newfangled sound. All this contrasted to the aggressive blasts, powerful high-speed guitar riffs and avant-garde instrumental compositions.
The new album like its predecessor is eclectic - it generates special recognizable musical underscore of Fausttophel.
For fans of: Dissection, Edge Of Sanity, Emperor, Gates Of Ishtar, Dimmu Borgir, Hecate Enthroned, Old Man's Child, Rotting Christ, Opeth, etc.

DAN DEAGH WEALCAN "Fragmented Consciousness" /CD/
February, 11 2016

The third full-length album by international project.
The third page in the history of Russian-Ukrainian experimental duet Dan Deagh Wealcan it's abig journey in search of total stylistic madness. More eclectic and more distinctive album is also a conceptual work about the subjective specifics of fragmented consciousness. It’s an attempt of analyzing the various processes that occur in our mind and their influence on our view of reality. It’s a way to gather the pieces of thoughts into one and try to accept yourself for who you really are.
Sixteen musical "fragments" were recorded throughout the year 2015 and together are the inevitable creative evolution of the duet, maintaining the distinctive style of the previous two albums and bringing new overtones along as well.
The stylistic classification of the band is getting harder and harder with every released album. It is a bizarre melting pot of Industrial, Post-HardCore, Progressive, Alternative Metal, Art Rock, Electronic, Noise, Symphonic Rock, New Prog, Mathcore.
The album was mastered once again by Anton Vorozhtsov at TA Productions, located in Zaporizhzhya, Ukraine.
For fans of: Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Ministry, Porcupine Tree, Mike Patton, Devin Townsend. As well as: Slayer, Radiohead, TDEP, Muse, Hans Florian Zimmer and over all for all fans of unusual, genre-defying music!
