New release from this one man Spanish band. The sound is not far off from the previous demo but the tempo is. Tracks here are faster but by no means blazing fast. A very solid effort all the way around. If you liked the demo you will probably like this one as well. Inner Voice Records.

Pontifex
|
Debut demo from this US band. Only two tracks but the demo is over twenty minutes. Several passages contain riffing that just sounds totally deranged, twisted and dissonant, very nice. Another interesting part is a little piano interlude within the first song. Drum machine. Overall, this is a band that shows some definite potential. Teutonic Satan.

Another split between two Polish bands. Moontower bring four tracks to the split including a Bathory cover. All tracks are in the usual raw Moontower style, nicely done. Taran also contribute four tracks, one being a Gorgoroth cover. Fast and aggressive is the style of Taran. Hammer of Damnation.
|
|
Morannon
|
...The Last Days
|
What we have here is both demos re-released on one tape. The first demo is quite solid musically. The vocals are screechy, not really to my taste. The other demo on the release is in the same style but the production is sharper (piercing) and the vocals are better. Total Consecration of the Ibex Throne Productions.
|
|

New French band. Six tracks that are well played. Very dirty guitar tone. Almost has an overall rehearsal feel. This could be a promising French band. Interesting note, the demo was recorded by Darkkarma of Svest. Ruin Productions.

Finnish bm that doesn't sound Finnish, more like Nor/Swe. Tour De Garde.

|
|
Natural Change
|
Helvetia (Espace Mittelland)
|
Something a little left of center, to scratch that occasional itch now and then for something different. What we have here is not exactly ambient in the sense of nice, soft, quiet tones, more along the lines of disturbing tones, clanking metallic sounds. There is one passage that is metal. A mixed bag with many elements. Northern Sky Productions.

Nazroth/Putride
|
Split
|
First up is Nazroth, bringing their brand of simple, stripped down black metal. Always simple, thick sounding guitars and very distorted vocals.

|
|
NecroMessiah
|
...Instar Gladii in Corporem Christi
|
Italian band in the more bestial/brutal style. Not as brutal or bestial as Beherit, Blasphemy, Proclamation etc, cleaner sounding too. Quite a surprise considering they are from Italy. Old Cemetery Records.
|
|
Necroplasma

X Corona Bestia Vox Vocis
|
After some silence Necroplasma returns! Three brand new tracks plus a rehearsal with never before released songs. Just bloody, ugly, terrible sounding, brutal black metal. On Satanic Propaganda Records. Recommended!
|
|
Nekysia
|

Ripping Greek black metal. This is pretty straightforward. Nordic hyperblasting black metal a la Marduk, Dark Funeral. Very slick sound to boot. Three tracks, eleven minutes.
|
|
Nethervoid
|
Templar of the Judas Goat

New US band with their first demo. Competant riffs, good guitar tone, minor use of synth. Only drawback is the use of a drum machine but it isn't so bad.
