Harridan - "Return God of the Dark"

Listen "Return God of the Dark"

Inspired by demons and primordial chaos, Harridan's cruelty merges with ceremonial moments starred by melodic riffs that don't completely discard the coldness and coarseness of a black metal that breathes underground. Conceptually, alongside the occult, we find references to Winter and HP Lovecraft, as well as a hefty dose of all those elements required to create an excellent and chaotic black metal environment. «The 'Return God of the Dark' EP was recorded and mixed for the Shub-Niggurath season. It contains 4 pieces of music from the period 1997-1999. It's very old material, my first guitar hymns», comments H-H. «This is an introduction to the climate and musical path that Harridan took. I can't honestly and openly say it's black metal, but I can definitely call my music demon metal. Both lyrically and musically, it refers to the practices of Demonism, Primordial Chaos, and worship of the Great Ancients Azathoth, Cthulhu, Hastur, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth. There are also excerpts from the Roman Ritual, which is commonly known as the exorcism of a possessed soul. I acquired this ritual in the original Latin, processed the entire text, reversed its meaning and performed it myself, while recording everything on tape.» Tracklist: 01. Deamonomania 02.

SAMAEL – PASSAGE ( Review by Varg The Mighty )

 

Today’s review is of Swiss Black Metal band Samael’s album “Passage”, celebrating its recent rerelease.

Together with “Eternal”, this album marks the transitional period between their particular type of Black Metal and their Electronic music progression. These two albums are pretty hard to describe, since they still have the mystic and grandiose aura of their initial releases while straying notably from Extreme Metal (though still not from Metal in general).

Perhaps best described as Industrial Black Metal with Gothic Metal influences, the full-length may also be considered to be pretty Avant-Garde. Though many fans of their early material dislike it, it has a really singular ambience that may remind of Rammstein mixed with Tiamat and their own style, and while it truly has little to do with the first 3 albums, it may also be easily enjoyed by metal fans with an open mind. Relying highly on synth and piano to create a slightly more upbeat ambience with hard hitting guitars and bass melodies that bring Gothic Rock to mind, the full-length is also dark, though it perhaps strives more towards a kind of epic that may only be produced by Samael themselves. There surely haven’t been any other albums similar to this one or its continuation. My personal highlights are “Rain”, “Shining Kingdom” and “Born Under Saturn”.

I recommend this album to fans of Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal, Industrial Meta, Industrial Black Metal and Avant-Garde Metal. My rating is of 10/10.

ORDINUL NEGRU set to release new EP

After the highly acclaimed Nebuisa EP last year, Romanian Occult Black Metal veterans ORDINUL NEGRU announce yet another EP to complete and enhance the whole journey. A Sojourner Wandering Through the Barren Openness is set to be released via Loud Rage Music on November 26th, 2021, and is now available for pre-order here: https://loudragemusic.bandcamp.com/album/ordinul-negru-a-sojourner-wandering-through-the-barren-openness

A teaser for the upcoming EP: https://youtu.be/sidRYqO3eLQ



Here’s what the band had to say about it:

“A Sojourner Wandering Through the Barren Openness represents the other side of the coin of our experimentation after we released the Nebuisa EP last year.
We crafted this time an ambitious project of one song over 23 minutes, in which we have encapsulated all our knowledge and desire of an avantgarde and forward thinking approach, in relation to our musical journey in the black cult. We are not afraid to push genre’s limits, to incorporate old raw trv spirit and new orchestral elements together, to find that alchemic potion of catharsis.
Conceptually we developed a moment in time when a chosen eremite sees it all…the birth of the Earth and the ancestral truths, the crucifixion of the Nazarene and when the sky turned black and cleared the civilization in a majestic canvas, an epic poem inspired by old chronicles and forgotten dusted parchments.”

The entire package comes in an elegant digipack CD offered in collaboration with Loud Rage Music featuring beautiful imaginary made by Alexandru Das. The production (recording, mixing and master) was executed in Consonance studios by the band’s drummer Putrid, in a perfect symbiosis to keep every aspect familiar and comfortable for the band.



Line-up:
Fulmineos – guitars, vocals
Urmuz – guitars, vocals
Putrid – drums, bass

Guests:
Anca Otescu – vocals (FusionCore)
Irinel “Cosax” Cîrlan – vocals
Sol Faur – mandoline (DorDeDuh)

Age Of Ore - Forsaker - (Heavy Metal)

For fans of Black Sabbath, Dio, Alice In Chains

Released July 23, 2021

Forsaker tells the story of the summer of 2020, when riots erupted and mayhem and lawlessness ruled the world. Trying to escape the chaos, three lost souls found an ancient sanctuary and became trapped in a cycle that lasts forever… The song starts and ends powerfully, never slowing down and powering through the entire time. The bass, drums, and guitar are fully locked in and ready to melt your face, and build up to a spectacular explosion at the end of the song.

SAMAEL – CEREMONY OF OPPOSITES ( Review by Varg The Mighty)

 

Today’s review is of Swiss Black Metal pioneers Samael’ classic “Ceremony Of Opposites”, celebrating its recent rerelease.

Thanks to this year’s reissue, new legions of fans will be able to purchase the masters’ third album. Continuing with their indisputably unique brand of Black Metal as seen on “Worship Him” or “Blood Ritual”, new anthems were developed on this release.

Their trademark slow and obscure riffs are still present here, creating the blackest of atmospheres under that easily recognizable vocal performance. While the synths are slightly more present, this is still pure Black Metal, easy to be considered their last album of the first era. While the debut is arguably their best opus, these songs seem like a more mature version of the same, with no big qualitative difference. Filled with dark anthems such as “Celebration Of The Fourth”, “Till We Meet Again” or the dazzling closer title track, the full-length may justly be considered another masterpiece by one of the original and most singular Black Metal bands.

I recommend this album to any fan of Black Metal who somehow hasn’t checked it out. This release is a must for any Extreme Metal fans. My rating is of 10/10.
