BLASPHEMY RITES (Pol) - "Hideous Lord"

BLASPHEMY RITES (Pol)

"Hideous Lord"

PAGAN RECORDS

Release Date : 14/05/2010

This Polish 4-pieces stayed deep in the underground and take inspiration from real ones like HELLHAMMER, SACROFAGO, BLASPHEMY, ARCHGOAT etc. They have earlier released 2 demos 'Something Wicked, Raw And Ugly' (2004) and 'Drink The Poisoned Piss Of Baphomet' (2005). It took them more than 5 years however to come out with this debut.

There are 15 tracks of Black/Death Metal here, which some are short and straight forward (the 2nd track "Genocide" are Grind-like short - less than a minute ? While, a few others are less than 2-minutes). Musically, BLASPHEMY RITES drops like a bomb with their no bullshit 'in your face' metal assault - chaotic riffing, machine gun like drumming and loud pounding bass. They take control and don't give a fuck what listeners have to say ! You either stand up and take it or simply walk away. Their CELTIC FROST cover - "Dethroned Emperor" is real killer - heavy like hell !

FURIA (Pol) - "Halny"

FURIA (Pol)

'Halny'

PAGAN RECORDS

Release Date : 14/05/2010

Our heathen brothers returned with a single track MCD that runs for nearly 20 minutes. They have earlier released a 3-tracks 10' MLP 'Huta Laura/Katowice/Krolewska Huta' (limited to 200 copies) - killer raw recording and this is where 'Halny' will start to take shape.

FURIA is always unbelievable. Their music speaks for itself. But they have gone too far this time - experimental, complex, jazz - yes, psychodelic as they put it ! It's innovative in the sense. We can still trace their trademarks especially in the final minutes where they closed the track brilliantly.

Yes, we are dissapointed, yet we trust that 'Halny' is a one-time (exclusive) release and will not represent their future musical direction. But still it is inevitable that FURIA will continue to evolve.

Remember Norwegian finest Pagan Black Metal band IN THE WOODS ? They stormed the scene with their excellent 'Isle Of Men' demo (1993) and 'Heart Of The Ages' debut (1995) but later moved away into something different - try 'Strange In Stereo' (1999).

This release is ONLY recommended to all those FURIA diehards. Others will left it untouched on the rack just after first listening. So stay away ! You will not understand !

DODSFERD (Gre) / MORTOVATIS (Gre) - "Until Your World Go Down"

DODSFERD (Gre) / MORTOVATIS (Gre)

"Until Your World Go Down"

MORIBUND RECORDS

Release Date : 26/04/2010

This two Greek one-man bands centred on the same soul - WRATH (vocal/guitar). DODSFERD has been spreading black plague since 2001 (with demo, split & albums out), while MORTOVATIS is a mere project band.

DODSFERD is a Black Metal band that rocks ! There are two new tracks here (to be released as 7' EP under OBSCURE ABHORRENCE PRODUCTIONS) and one live set. It is ashamed that we only get to know them recently (thanks to our brother NATHAN), when they really nailed us at just first listening - check out the track "Only Thorn Can Embrace Your Condemned Throne" that opened with only drum beat and bass line (old school, MOTORHEAD perhaps) before storming into speed, raw delicious cunt-licking riff and top-notch hate-full vocal.

The other track "Another Two Of Your Scars And The World Is Dead'' is differently structured,  slow pace and depressive this time. Their live track "You Called It Resurrection, I Called It Fairytale For Human Parasite, Your Kind" is one bloody set and is the best here (the crude sound and arrangement reminds us of TASYIM - Malaysian cult Death Metal band). While, what MORTOVATIS offers is one long 20 minutes track of cosmic experimental doom metal which we don't find it interesting. We don't think that WRATH should dabble more times with MORTOVATIS when DODSFERD stands with potential. We would appreciate a more shorter title track next time by the way. Only DODSFERD is recommended !
