Sinistral King - Serpent Uncoiling

Projeto com ligações a Vredehammer onde basicamente se segue a corrente atual do Death/Black de tendência mais religiosa e cerimonial, no entanto ao invés de ser cavernoso ou ritualista opta por uma abordagem que faz lembrar bandas como SepticFlesh, Behemoth atual ou uns Mephorash onde a produção cristalina se assume como destaque e fio condutor de toda esta sonoridade..um album de fácil escuta e sejamos honestos tambem não procura trazer inovação a este tipo de cenários nem o pretende creio..mesmo assim são 45 minutos (mais ou menos) de escuta que não cansam e até tem alguns toques curiosos, como o efeito algo deja vu nos vocais que faz lembrar os Opeth do antigamente ou até uns Edge of Sanity..
Recomendável.

Clairvoyance - Demo 2020

Fantastica demo desta banda polaca, sonoridade clássica focada em monstros como Incantation ou Crematory (por ex)...não existe muito a escrever para se descrever estes três temas e estes pouco mais de 10 minutos de brutalidade a não escrever cliquem em play ONLY DEATH IS REAL!!!

Ritual Mass - Abhorred in the Eyes of God

DEATH METAL SPEWING FORTH FROM THE BOWELS OF PITTSBURGH.

Altamente recomendável!!!!

Goden - Beyond Darkness

"Goden is the spiritual successor to Winter, a band that has been heavily influential and highly revered in the metal underground since its inception and treasured demos. A long-awaited continuation of what Winter would have been from co-founder Stephen Flam’s vision, the new album “Beyond Darkness” throws us into an existential voyage out of the past and into the future. A familiar yet distinctive new opus that expands the unmapped shadow world that Winter once opened in our nightmares.
A soundtrack that takes the listener on a dark and ominous journey, Beyond Darkness is a conceptual deep dive into wildly unexplored and unknown sonic territory. The story has three characters, each with different symbols: Stephen Flam as “Spacewinds”, the time and space in which these characters dwell; Vas Kallas as “NXYTA (Goddess of Night)”, lead vocalist and the darkness: Tony Pinnisi as “The Prophet of Goden”, who speaks in the name of Goden and is the light, plays keyboards and also played in Winter. Beyond Darkness is a tale of the dark and the light, set to a score of heavy music.
The artwork was conceived by Eva Petric, a Slovene multimedia artist based in Vienna, Austria and New York. Eva worked with Stephen Flam, creating a visual story book within the LP/CD booklet that the listener can look at while they are consumed by this heavy sound trip.
Stephen Flam leaves us in the outer blackness and inner gloom with these last words as ethereal guidance: “I hope you enjoy this endeavor – Listen with a free and open mind… Journey now Beyond Darkness” …
