“MASACRE began in 1988, their extreme sounds fitted perfectly within the European scene in the early eighties. Death Metal and MASACRE were born in Medellín (Colombia) in years where violence, corruption, drugs and death were our daily food in a slowly bleeding country. Maybe that was the main reason for MASACRE to acquire an immediate answer from the fans, and they found represented in the heavy sound of death metal the cold and dying reality that they live every day.”  – Band bio truemetal.org

“The Cursed Order, mostly known in the musical realm as ‘CURSE UPON A PRAYER’, was born in 2010 in Tornio, Northern Finland. Since then the band has reached a stable position in the Finnish Black Metal scene and has gained the reputation as one of the more notorious acts, which has been evident through their flagrant live appearances that have striked fear, hate and love into the hearts of those who have dared to witness.”  – korpituli.bandcamp.com

Feat. Zemial/The Sun of Tiphareth 30th Anniversary Set

“”Absu” in Sumerian mythology refers to a subterranean ocean. The band’s in-depth approach, supervised by Proscriptor, draws heavily on occultism and ancient mythologies.
Absu’s releases go by conceptual cycles: the first two albums are based on Sumerian mythology, while The Third Storm of Cythraul, In the Eyes of Ioldanach, and Tara form a trilogy about old Celtic mythology.”

” Archgoat was formed in 1989 by the twin brothers Ritual Butcherer and Lord Angelslayer, as well as Blood Desecrator. In 1992, they signed with Necropolis Records and recorded and released the Angelcunt (Tales of Desecration) EP in 1993. After its release, they entered the studio to record a full-length for Necropolis, but after disagreements over the contract terms, they decided not to release the album. This material was finally released in 2005 as an EP entitled Angelslaying Black Fucking Metal. In late 1993, Archgoat decided to vanish from the black metal scene. They eventually reformed in 2004.”

” The only reason I willingly endure all the hassle associated with playing live is the simple fact that there’s nothing else capable of giving me the same sensation as being on stage. So, yes, I still enjoy it; quite possibly even more so than in the past. It’s become ritualistic in many ways, and I don’t mean the visual aspects here – more in terms of finding myself in a trance state, barely noticing that I’m playing before an audience. I’ve come far from the headbanging days, that’s for sure.”

” That sense of eerie mysticism is omnipresent recalling those bitter cold winds of decades past along with the memories they carry with them. While some of those bands made saccharine-soaked Symphonic Black Metal, others embraced the pioneering spirit beyond cheesy horror movie tropes and redundant orchestra hits. SEVEROTH reminds me much more of those bands that really pushed the envelope a couple of decades ago than the current crop of bands playing “ear-friendly” Black Metal.”  –  metal-temple.com / Vsesvit review -21
