Black Metal

Two of the majestic forces within the circle set off on a sinister dark journey down the malicious path, perpetuating an opening that slides deep into various pagan platitudes, mysticism and misanthropy. The macabre act devoted to these two pieces of raw black metal/sinister omens, was revealed in an incandescent act of absolute solemnity towards funerary art, pagan works and the putrescence of evil… both works achieved in a semi-rehearsal type quality that provide an overwhelming musical performance soured with the demonic poison that they recite in each of the death hymns.

A band literally out of time, ORGREL hail from Italy and, more importantly, hail the ancient days of black metal – the days too often forgotten, in the late ’90s, when labels like Solistitium, Sombre, and Drakkar began releasing obsidian gems during the genre’s post-sensationalism fallout. Rich with righteous fury and triumph alike, the power-trio deliver their first public recording, the full-length Red Dragon’s Invocation. Immediately, mystical splendor and dizzying delirium are felt as ORGREL kick in with an impassioned surge, each and every riff, rhythm, and holler stirring bloodlust and wonder/wander simultaneously. The soundfield is studiously raw yet robust, flat but somehow full, allowing aggression and atmosphere equal reign, and engrossing the listener to the very last: indeed, Red Dragon’s Invocation is summarily titled. Its mysteries are starkly simple but exceedingly sublime, being purely and totally BLACK METAL in word and deed; black metal doesn’t need to “become” anything when it already IS. ORGREL know this intrinsic truth and pursue it to the hilt across their debut album.

Graced with absolutely stunning cover artwork by Luciana Nedelea, ORGREL raise their sword of truth and prepare to strike unbelievers with Red Dragon’s Invocation.

Building upon that grand fortress is a four-song/22-minute mini-album likewise truly titled: The Oath of the Black Wolf. Here, ORGREL have gone a-hunting, their ’90s black metal classicism stalking and striking with a hunger only hinted at previously. Still, fueled by this fire they may be, the Italians across this mini manage to maximize their epic side, with the predecessor’s flat-yet-full soundfield now becoming slightly more chromatic in the process. Lead lines portend dark truths, ever building in tension and then grandeur, but the record’s swift-yet-satisfying runtime reveals the darkest, most intrinsic truth: black metal doesn’t need to “become” anything when it already IS. Hail The Oath of the Black Wolf!

Ostots returns with Madarikazioa (The Curse), taking the Ostots sound to a new level. Following the same path of Lainoak Estaltzen Duena & Hilda Jaio tracks (from the split LP with Gaua), this record displays an ever growing musicianship, with denser compositions and a more powerful sound, but maintaining the core essence of Ostots sound and soul. Dark atmospheric Black Metal, evoking old fears, storms and the night…

Transparent blue with black smoke vinyl, with reverse board print jackets + insert,

Altare proudly presents the musical alliance between Ostots and Gaua. In their own characteristic sound, both bands display the same essence and spirit against the modern world.
Black vinyl (45 rpm), comes with a 4 page insert.
