Black Metal

From an era when different winds blew…
Official re-issue of the classic 1993 demo, mandatory for any fanatic into (early) black metal!

Black Metal

Where In The Woods… already blended in prog elements in their classic pagan/black metal debut “Heart Of The Ages” the sophomore album “Omnio” saw the band further develop into uncharted waters. They freed themselves from the confines of any metal subgenre. What never changed was the ability to write elegant and epic masterpieces, song by song. “Omnio” ended up being one of the most original, unmatched albums of 1997 and until this very day it’s regarded as an absolute classic, for many reasons. Now finally re-issued as standalone release with original cover artwork and including the 2 tracks from the “Let There Be More Light” ep as bonus tracks!

Some question why IN TWILIGHT’S EMBRACE is now being released by Terratur Possessions, and although we owe no one anything, I’ll briefly explain.

After spending weeks on tour with these guys getting to know them first hand, seeing how hard working they are, I’ll rather work with passionate, real artists who works from an honest and devoted place, rather than partaking in the charade of brotherhoods, militias and idolizations that plagues the Black Metal genre today. Where everyone’s in each others echo chambers, praising what’s at best mediocre, thus weakening all that we stand for. Without criticism one gets nowhere, surround yourself with yes-men and your downfall will follow.

Although starting off as a Hardcore band exactly 20 years ago, both the band and members evolved into something more sinister. I mean, who doesn’t change over a 20 year period…? They started perfecting their craft around 14 years after their formation, through a magnificent album called VANITAS. This is for me where the band shone through as a legit Black Metal band and raised the bar significantly. This did not get unnoticed and they toured the land relentlessly with bands like IMMOLATION, AZARATH and BLAZE OF PERDITION.

A year later we saw the follow up LAWA blow up like Iceland and the band got recognition inside and outside of Poland, and the chatter began; where the hell did these guys come from? More giggling and touring followed alongside MGLA, BEHEMTOH and WHOREDOM RIFE, to mention a few.

RAC/OI!

Officially available on vinyl for the first time since 1986 on Rock-O-Rama Records! Founded in 1981, the then young patriotic musicians sang about their own life experiences and the things that were happening around them. The fact that they had to watch their once great country violently decline under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher tore their hearts.

Their first, long-awaited album “Reveal All!” was only released in 1985, after the band had released a double A-side single called “Riots/A Matter of Time” on their own label “IndEx Records” at the end of 1983. “Reveal All!” is classic Oi! Music in its rawest form with titles like “A Way of Life” and “Bank Holiday” to harder songs like “I won’t let my Country die” and “Save the Nation”. In 1985/86 the local Oi! Scene has probably reached its lowest point. At a gig in Tufnell Park, North London, singer Steve Reeve got into an argument with hardliners in attendance. One of these idiots threw a bottle while Indecent Exposure were playing their set, Steve’s head was hit and slashed. In Hardcore Oi! Indecent Exposure finished their concert in a similar manner and then jumped into the crowd to find the bottle thrower. But in true low-life fashion, the culprit had crawled back into the hole he came from. Later that night, Steve was taken to the hospital where he received twelve stitches in his head.

By now, IRAE should require little introduction. Since the dawn of this cursed millennium, mainman Vulturius has prolifically pursued a singular vision of RAW BLACK METAL that includes five full-lengths and countless split releases with likeminded comrades. As such, IRAE have almost singlehandedly invigorated Portugal’s black metal scene, particularly the rawer iteration of it. And since the band’s blood pact with SIGNAL REX deepened in 2020 with the release of the landmark Lurking in the Depths LP last summer and followed the next year with the EPs Korona Winter Rehearsal of Darkness & Evil and Dangerovs Magick Zpells from the Mesziah of Death and a split LP with comrades ORDEM SATÂNICA and WØMB most recently, there’s no sign of IRAE’s black flame being extinguished anytime soon.
