Black Metal

VEMOD are by no means an average band. The Norwegians exist in the liminal spaces and the crossroads of places. The trio has chiselled their sophomore full-length “The Deepening” from the same sonic granite that its predecessor “Venter på stormene” came from over a decade ago. This bedrock is found in Namsos, where VEMOD were conceived as a lifelong passion project at the turn of the century by then 12-year old Jan Even Åsli. The nearest big city is Trondheim where the fiercely individual local Nidrosian black metal scene, which refers to the city’s original name, provided VEMOD with its first point of musical reference as embodied by the first demo “Kringom fjell og skog” (2004).

“Venter på stormene” was recorded on eight analogue tracks in Red Cave between 2008 and 2011.

“Å stige blant stjerner” is dedicated to our brother in spirit, Steingrim Torson.
You never fell! We sing for eternity.

RAC/Oi!

Vengeance was a RAC band, an anti-communist Oi/punk band from Norwich, founded in 1985. With Daz on vocals, Tim on guitar, Rach on bass and Tom on drums, the band expressed their political views in raw sounds. Before their debut LP “Forward into War” in 1988, two demo tapes with different line-ups were released in 1986 and 1987.

Side A of the disc contains the two street rock’n’roll singles SRR 003 and SRR 004 with alternative versions of the songs “Fight for your Life”, “Working Class Hero”, “I don’t wanna know” and “Vengeance”, and the sampler track “Pride and Pain” is also included. The B-side contains the album recordings “Fight for your Life”, “Working Class Hero” and “I don’t wanna know” for direct comparison.

RAC/Oi!

In 1988, “Forward Into War” was released on Herbert Egolt’s Cologne Rock-O-Rama Records label. The band originally started out as a four-piece in 1985, but then found their ideal line-up on their debut album with Tom (drums), Andy (guitar) and Vernon (bass, vocals).

On the “Forward Into War” album, Vengeance played a heavy metal-influenced sound, with an ingenious brutal voice and patriotic to nationalistic lyrics. The three British musicians created their own distinctive style, which is still unparalleled today and which, if you want, can easily be described as Oi!Core. All tracks are performed hard to brutal (with the exception of “Wake Up England”) and are of a high level. Unfortunately, singer Vernon, who was also responsible for the cover design, died in 2008. As they said, it was due to an incorrectly dosed medication. It’s always the same: Only the best die young!

Black Metal

This slab of occult metal has been conjured by the mind of Deathwalker (Nihil Invocation, USA) and derives its influence from bass-driven, black metal cults such as Barathrum, Ride for Revenge, Perverted Ceremony, Demoncy, etc. Originally a 1 piece project, Deathwalker has welcomed help from his homelands & Russian tundra along the path.
