Uškumgallu - Mortifying the Flesh (demo)

Segunda demo para Uškumgallu, e na minha opinião bem mais interessante que a demo homónima...
Esta banda/projeto de nome bizarro junta dois musicos de Ash Borer, Triumvir Foul etc, continua a percorrer o lado mais negro do BM aqui com ligeiras (e novas) nuances atmosfericas que a espaços trazem a memoria nomes como Vorde embora continuem a fermentar o extremismo já presente no primeiro registo. São apenas 3 temas novamente, mas com a qualidade que já se espera destas criaturas!
The Stars Are Laced With Serpentine And Blood

Devouring Ghost - Devouring Ghost

Provocativo e hipnotico á boa maneira do atual USBM é aquilo que estes Devouring Ghost aqui oferecem numa limitada edição onde se explora a segunda vaga nordica de uma forma que remexe com alguns fantasmas saidos do ancestral movimento e lança os seus tenebrosos tentaculos para outras estranhas e obscuras formas musicais originando um complexo e tenebroso registo que nos engole e sufoca..
Recomendadissimo!!
"Mark McCoy’s latest solo drawing exhibition, Devouring Ghost, opened 04.17.15 at Weltkunstzimmer in Düsseldorf, Germany. To coincide with the nine drawings in the exhibition, he created a special edition soundtrack to play in the gallery. Each musical composition relates to a visual work on display, presented in an array of stripped-down black metal and ambient tracks. The album spans two LPs and was composed in collaboration with Ian Jacyszyn (Absolute Power, Suburbanite) and Ryan Martin (Dais Records, Copley Medal). Devouring Ghost deals with the transience and mutability of a technically-constructed world. Symbols of decay and mortality reflect the ambivalent and unconscious desire for death."

Mortuus Umbra - Catechism

Conheço as tuas obras, e tribulação, e pobreza (mas tu és rico), e a blasfêmia dos que se dizem judeus, e não o são, mas são a sinagoga de Satanás.
Apocalipse 2:9

Premonições: Abacination

Daquilo que ouvi talvez tenhamos aqui a proxima perola saida da Islandia...prometedor!!

Abacination traces its roots back to May of 2010 when the founding members discovered a common interest in trying to create a unique mix of black and death metal, with an emphasis on the later. What ensued was a long process of composition and work to convert this idea into a fully functioning band. By early 2011 the band was a full five piece and work was started on a DIY demo to showcase the fruits of the work done in the earliest period of this collaboration.

Demo II was released in spring 2012. Today, Abacination is slowly but surely moving deeper and deeper into the dark void that is black metal. New material is on the way.
