MORDHELL (Pol) - 'Suffer In Hell'


MORDHELL (Pol)
'Suffer In Hell'
PAGAN RECORDS
Release Date : 25/06/2011

Strange, never heard the name MORDHELL before ? But the band already has a firm footing in the scene, started with 'Sadistic Pleasure' demo (2003). This was followed by 'Cut Yourself And Die' EP (2004) and 'Suicide Blood' MCD (2006) as well as a 3-way split album (2007). They later released their debut album 'Grim, Old And Evil' (2008) under FALLEN ANGEL 666 with 13 tracks. The number 13 continues to play an important role with 'Suffer In Hell' later

MORDHELL is ugly, raw and heavy Black Heavy Metal with strong Punk riffs - giving you the dose of Black 'N' Roll (the term 'Black 'N' Roll' is getting trendy so as to speak). What do you expect from a band that worsipped sex and alcohol and came with killer psoudname like NEKROPHILIAC (vocal), BLOODWHIP (guitar), DEFEKATOR (guitar), GRAVE (bass) and DIABOLIZER (drum) ? Total destruction off course ! The riffs are simple yet effective, and MORDHELL nailed it right by playing it short most of the times (8 tracks are less that 3-minutes) as to avoid getting caught with the repetitiveness.  The drumming was superb. Musical wise, the band reminds us strongly of DODSFERD/NADIWRATH though (without the slower part & guitar solo). Again, there are 13 tracks here (as we told you earlier).

The album opened with "Smelling Of Burning Skin" and we immediately knew that that we really gonna' like this. It got crazy every minutes, and you get "Alcoholic Titfuckblast", "You Are My Fucking Pornostar" and "Graveyard Fuck" later. It then ended brilliantly with "Possessed By Alcohol". Fantastic !

PANDEMONIUM (Pol) - 'Promo 2010'


PANDEMONIUM (Pol)
'Promo 2010'
PAGAN RECORDS
Release Date : 01/01/2011

Despite our terrible time constraint, it is always excited to receive new promos from Tomasz and PAGAN RECORDS. We are not sure how many of you remember the mighty PANDEMONIUM, one of Poland's oldest might.  The mainman - the duo of Paul (guitar) and Peter (drum) spawned the band back in 1989 and back then, they were a force to be reckoned with.

On the back of immense pressures - musically, the duo later collided and hurt PANDEMONIUM beyond healing. What to follow next was a sad written history. We are not aware of what happened to the band then onward. Until later in 1998, when Jaro Slav of LUX OCCULTA (Polish finest Occult Death Metal band, and yes, signed under PAGAN RECORDS) told us that Peter died of cancer.


We received this promo quite late but its great to hear that PAUL has ressurected PANDEMONIUM. There are 2-tracks here - "A Black Forest" and "A God Delusion", giving us the hint on what to expect from their new album 'Misanthropy'. Musically, PANDEMONIUM is throat cutting, killer majestic Death/Black Metal. The tracks, especially "A Black Forest" was brilliantly structured with killer mesmerising riffs. Strangely, we felt vibe of MONUMENTUM presence. They are fuckin' back ! It's PANDEMONIUM !
