Tape version of the mcd featuring a bonus track (track they did on the split with Surturs Lohe). Good German bm.
|
|
Odelegger

Side project of Widar from Bilskirnir. This project he performs simple, stripped down black metal. As with most of Widar's work, you can expect a nice raw production. Simple, yet effective.
|
|
Odelegger
|
Evoluting Blackness

More primitive black metal from Widar. Similar to the other demo but this one has some tracks that are more aggressive sounding. Good sound quality as expected.

|
|
Omitir
|
Meu Fado
|
One man band from Portugal. The first track is a very good slow, depressive track with a very atmospheric piano part. The 2nd track is in the more traditional style, fast and fierce. The 3rd is a guitar "ambient" piece. The closing track is a mid-paced offering. Good variety here. Limited to 250 copies on Hell Unleashed Records.

|
Orthanc/Nordum
|
Split
|
Split featuring two French bands. Nordum is up first I think, offering four tracks. Traditional style black metal with distorted guitars and distorted vocals. Orthanc contribute eight tracks. Their approach is more lo-fi and raw. It sounds good but there is the draw back of the drum machine. They also cover Kristillnacht.
|
|
Oskal
|
Blazes of Sunset/StahlKrieg

Raw Russian NSBM, a straight-forward tradition following the mighty BlazeBirth Hall style. Stellar Winter.

|
|
Permafrost
|
Pervers & Geisteskrank

Pretty typical German bm for the most part. Usually fast and blasting but they mix it up enough with slower parts. Gritty guitar tone which is nice but the snare is too poppy. Eleven tracks for sixty-two minutes. Hammerbund.

|
|
Profondis Requiem
|
Divine Nocturnal Torments
|
Debut demo from this French outfit. Standard traditional black metal stylistically. Band sites Burzum, Darkthrone and that Forgotton Tomb garbage as influences. That should paint a good enough picture. Six tracks, thirty five minutes. Limited to 500 copies on Hopeless Mankind.
|
|
Pseudogod
|
Illusion of Salvation
|
New outfit hailing from Russia. The material presented on this demo is a bit on the brutal side, not as brutal as Blasphemy or Proclamation perhaps. Guitars a little down in the mix, drums cut right through, dry, throaty, howled vocals. A band worth checking out. Satanic Propaganda Records.
|
|

|
|
Ravendark's Monarchal Canticle
|

|
|
Regnant and Thrall
|
Angel Dust
|
Oh boy. What we have here is some artsy French black metal. Complete with drum machine and really bad synth/piano, not to mention some of the worst vocals I have ever heard. Pretty easy to see why this band is not signed, they better not be, this shit is awful. Black metal for non-heterosexual people.

|
Regnum/Svarthal
|
Split tape
|
This is not a re-release from the Regnum / Svarthal split tape from 2003, but this tape contains new songs by both projects! Svarthal contributes three tracks of fast, storming and chaotic black metal with graspy vocals, not unlike old Immortal. Regnum contributes the first new material since the project went on a temporary break in 2005. The style is a continuation of the selftitled mcd, this time one lengthy track of sorrow and desperation: monotonous and hypnotizing doomy black metal. Heidens Hart.

|
|
Rites Of Cleansing

Filthy, intense and hypnotising German black metal, ranging from midtempo to fast, 4 songs with 20 minutes playing time, which will perhaps appeal to those who like Absurd, Abyssic Hate and Burzum.
