  • Algaion (SWE) – Oimai Algeiou DIGI-CD 13.88

    Black Metal

    Released in 1995 by the pivotal Full Moon Productions, Oimai Algeiu was underground black metal for underground black metallers. Not kowtowing to increasingly trendy Scandinavian sounds, no “romance” or gothic or vampires, and definitely no mosh nor no fun: ALGAION here created a surging and windswept landscape on which to paint dark desires and honor that Hellenic pantheon. It was a raw landscape, to be sure, but one contemporaneous with their Greek brethren and duly emitting a perhaps-colder atmosphere than the duskiness usually associated with that scene. However, above all, it was the songwriting itself which put Oimai Algeiou amongst that hallowed company, pulsing with a simple-yet-sublime melodicism and never-forgotten heavy metal spirit, all dusted with just the right amount of melancholy and the subtlest hint of synth.

  • Caedes Cruenta (GRE) – Ε​ρ​ε​ί​π​ι​α Ψ​υ​χ​ώ​ν LP 22.88

    Black Metal

    CAEDES CRUENTA indeed made it their mission to uphold this noble sound, and it arguably reached its perfect on their second album, Ερείπια Ψυχών, originally released at the end of 2014. Whereas their Σκιές δαιμόνων debut album from four years previous took an altogether more atmospheric route, here CAEDES CRUENTA expanded from a duo to a quartet, and immediately is that classic Greek physicality felt: pulsing and patient but portending ominousness and metallic might, Ερείπια Ψυχών is the surging, Alpha sound of ancient brimstone made forever vital and virile. Bass-heavy in its infinitely potent throb and tastefully embellished with subtle layers of mystical synth, one could be forgiven for thinking CAEDES CRUENTA transported the listener back in time, so authentic and invigorating is Hellenic classicism.

  • Eschatology (SWE) – Eschatology DIGI-CD 13.88

    Black Metal

    Featuring the members J.K. (Craft) and B.L. (Mordbrand, God Macabre [live]) both on guitar & bass and M.S. (Medico Peste, Over the Voids, Mgła [live]) on vocals & drums, ESCHATOLOGY indeed carry high expectations for a brand-new entity. The prime directive is raw, no-frills black metal, and the band rise to the occasion across the four-song/27-minute Eschatology. It would be reasonable (and at least halfway accurate) to characterize this ESCHATOLOGY as a sonic summation of the members’ other ongoing bands, but on evidence of their debut mini-album, this entity are striving toward a parallel realm of experience where shards of old & archaic black metal are re-arranged in darker and more dazzling shapes. Their songs are stout yet swirling, pounding with presence but fully enraptured within the moment, hooks mined and then malformed, and the overall attack retaining the requisite rawness and yet never hiding behind it. No, Eschatology absolutely CONFRONTS the listener with its world-eating ways, and then proceeds to devour that listener whole…as in, a black hole.

    No niches, no capes, no fun: This is ESCHATOLOGY. The past and present are on fire, and those flames are coming for you.

  • Necromantical Invocation (GRE) – Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie CD 13.88

    Black Metal

    NECROMANTICAL INVOCATION is long-brewing project of the ever-prolific Echetleos, who numbers CAEDES CRUENTA, Kawir, Ithaqua, and WALPURGIA among his many endeavors. As NECROMANTICAL INVOCATION, however, Echetleos indulges his darkest and most avant-garde side, still firmly within the Hellenic black metal pantheon which he has helped shape in the past decade but also exploring its outer fringes of mystery and mysticism.
