All Life Ends - "The Plague Of Man" (swiss death metal)
BLOT MINE - Porphyrogenesis ( vicrecords Release: 11 June 2021 )
BLOT MINE – Porphyrogenesis (VIC236CD)
BLOT MINE was formed in the autumn of 1995 by three Setherial members. They recorded their five tracks debut demo ‘Kill for Inner Peace’ in 1997. During June 1998 Blot Mine recorded their debut album ‘Porphyrogenesis’ at Los Angered Recordings. King Diamond’s Andy La Rocque produced, engineered and mixed the album in cooperation with the band. Porphyrogenesis is a fast and intense Swedish Black metal album. However, way more melodic than other releases stemming from Sweden. There are the typical Dark Funeral / Setherial kind of speed, viciousness and uncompromising black metal feel, on the other hand there is a distinct focus on the beauty of the melodies, catchy harmonies and epic atmosphere. Bonus to the album is the five tracks 1997 demo ‘Kill for Inner Peace’. https://www.facebook.com/Blot-Mine-113023087505676
RITUAL SACRIFICE - When Hope Is Pain (vicrecords Release: 11 June 2021)
RITUAL SACRIFICE – When Hope is Pain (VIC206CD)
Rhode Island’s Ritual Sacrifice was formed in 1988 and released five demo’s from 1989 to 1994. The band recorded their debut album "When Hope Is Pain" in 1995. Due to their label going out of business, it went unreleased until now. The album ’When Hope is Pain’ contains 13 furious and rather technical thrash metal songs. Ritual Sacrifice has always been compared to bands as Cynic and False Prophet and of course Slayer and Dark Angel. ‘When Hope Is Pain’ was recorded at Triad Studios with Tony Ricci (Godless Rising, Vital Remains). The album contains extensive liner notes from lead guitar player Bill Pincins. Guitar player Mike Longworth played with Prong for 15 years (as bassplayer) after Ritual Sacrifice split up in 1996. https://www.facebook.com/Ritual-Sacrifice-100734342097105
Pre-ENSLAVED and THEATRE OF TRAGEDY band PHOBIA (Norway) to have complete works reissued by NUCLEAR WAR NOW!
On June 14th internationally, Nuclear War Now! Productions will reissue the collected works of Norway's Phobia, Slaughterhouse Tapes, on CD format. The band was a young precursor to Norway's legendary Enslaved, and also included a future founder of Theatre of Tragedy.
The emergence of the Norwegian black metal movement is often regarded as a sudden paradigmatic shift in sound and aesthetics. But it didn’t take place in a vacuum; many of the key players in the scene were already involved in underground metal.
So it was for the founding members of Enslaved (Grutle Kjellson and Ivar Bjørnson) and Theatre of Tragedy (Hein Frode Hansen), all of whom initially played in a short-lived but impressive death metal band called Phobia. The “Slaughterhouse” to which the title of this collection refers is Gamle Slaktehuset, or “old slaughterhouse,” a community youth center in the small town of Haugesund that served as an incubation center for numerous adolescent bands in the region. Equipped with multiple rehearsal rooms, a studio, a café, and a performance space, Slaktehuset offered everything a fledgling band needed.
Ranging in ages from 12-18, the members of Phobia coalesced around Slaktehuset, where they wrote and rehearsed original material and eventually recorded their demos, The Last Settlement of Ragnarok and Feverish Convulsions, both of which were released in 1991. (The first Enslaved and Immortal demos were also recorded at Slaktehuset later that same year.) Owing to the band members’ drive and dedication, the material on these demos is far more sophisticated than one might expect. Musically, Phobia calls to mind Autopsy, with a morose, doom-laden edge reminiscent of early Paradise Lost. The songwriting, however, is unique and the production strikes a balance between capturing the band’s raw, youthful energy while preserving the clarity of the instrumentation.
By the end of 1991, Grutle and Ivar, inspired by a conversation with Immortal’s Demonaz, stripped the band down to a three-piece and adopted the name Enslaved, after the song “Enslaved in Rot” from the first Immortal demo. Hein departed for the United States to work, and upon returning to Norway, he founded the long-running gothic death/doom band Theatre of Tragedy.
With the rapid rise of black metal, Phobia was unfortunately relegated to the increasingly distant past. This compilation collects—for the first time—Phobia’s two demos, along with three previously unreleased tracks.
In the meantime, hear the brand-old track "Fog of Uncertainty" HERE at Nuclear War Now!'s Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
