Black Metal

Inspired by the magical singing of the mystical southern landscapes, where inspiration and feeling result in four hymns full of nostalgia and melancholy.

Composed and written under the shade of the willows of the meadows where the spirit finds the long desired freedom and the icy winds of the south transcend beyond the horizon under the icy mantle of the astral fog.

Wampyric Rites is evoked from his deep sleep in the anno MMXIX by three ghostly entities inside the desolate dungeons covered by the dust of time and drinking from the chalice the ecstasy of the ancient spirit of Black Metal and Old School Dungeon Synth resulting in his first work called Demo I.

The nocturnal entity drinks the ecstasy of the dark mysteries of the night under the icy mantle that covers the sinister fog. The different spells that have been captured in different manifestations have been consecrated: Demo / EP and Split the same ones that have been recorded in the classic Lo-Fi form, with the dark passion and devotion to the sinister art of the evil tyrants Belongs to the Pure Raw Underground Black Metal Plague Circle.

WAMPYRIC RITES and the votive violence of MOLOCH come to bitter black metal fruition, as they conspire to create a fresh rot split incantation by name of “The Serpent Cult of Darkness” that is to be soon unchained beneath the tabernacle of snake seer sorrow. Carving ritual dagger between unrelenting raw brutality and brooding melodic melancholy, “The Serpent Cult of Darkness” is an engrossing journey into the venomous hearts of the necroverse; with both Wampyric Rites’ tradmark terror of lonely tremelo soundscapes and Moloch’s carnal essence of atmospheric synth solace complementing each grimoire of spell grim grume in cacophonous perfection. Encapsulating modern raw black metal in horrendous harmony, “The Serpent Cult of Darkness” leaves no victims of embryonic existence safe from its immolating flames, with only the virility of the celestial ophidian left to engulf what remains of ephemeral reality and those feeble mortals still clinging to its withered bosom.

Once the best-kept secret of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground, WARMOON LORD truly made their presence known with 2021’s Battlespells. Released by WEREWOLF, the band’s second album fulfilled the promise of 2019’s not-inconsiderable Burning Banners of the Funereal War with superlative flair. The sound was stridently classicist, but suffused with windswept grandeur, martial surge, and orkish execution – and, perhaps above all, both songwriting and personality to spare. No longer “the other project of the OLD SORCERY guy,” WARMOON LORD mainman Lord Vrajitor made sure Battlespells lived up to its namesake, and then some.

Originally released in a limited edition in early 2020, this split album features exclusive tracks from two uprising hordes among Finland’s ever-fertile black metal underground, and both being bands who’ve since released crimes via WEREWOLF. WARMOON LORD should require no introduction after 2021’s superlative Battlespells, and here does Lord Vrajitor expand upon his classicist muse: medieval black metal majesty from the mid/late ’90s, with special emphasis on spectral synths for this recording. For their part, VULTYRIUM might’ve released one of 2022’s dark-horse hits with their self-titled album, but it was here where mainman The Vultyrian established his crude-yet-cruising style of black metal rife buttressed by somber bass work, at times evoking early Algaion. Together, seven spells cast in 38 minutes: Pure Cold Impurity raises the banners – again – of modern Finlandia resistance!

RAC/Oi!

The next all-out attack from the remote expanses of Australian skinhead rock! With “Reckless Aggression,” Australian skinhead/Oi! punk band White Noise delivered a live album on Rock-O-Rama Records in 1990 that blurred the lines between heavy punk, hardcore, and the unleashed elemental force of skinhead rock. The first few seconds of the album are like a punch in the face – a merciless, angry performance that makes it clear from the very first note that this band has no intention of conducting diplomatic peace negotiations. White Noise’s musical roots are deeply embedded in the world of Oi! and punk rock, but “Reckless Aggression” goes one step further. The sound is reminiscent of the wild days of Motörhead – with a mixture of dirty rock ‘n’ roll and uncompromising hardcore that tears down everything in its path. In addition to music, this is also about an attitude, a mindset that swings through the record grooves like an imaginary wrecking ball.

RAC/Oi!

Anyone who believes that street rocknroll is merely a British cultural asset will get a full broadside from Down Under with “The First Assault”. White Noise from Fremantle, Western Australia, released a debut on Rock-O-Rama Records in 1989 that smashes through the windshield of mediocrity like a cobblestone. There is no lamenting here, there is confrontation. No room for poetry – just harsh truths and an unembellished confrontation with reality.

White Noise fuse Australian skinhead hardcore with British street sound. Tracks like “Clockwork Violence”, ‘Rebels’ or “We Don’t Need It” scream out their frustration in a world that sees the individual only as a consumer. This album is an expression of discontent set to music in one piece: harsh, loud, honest. No pathos, just full throttle. It’s about identity, anger, belonging – set to music with drilling guitars, booming bass lines, driving drums and a frontman who manifests his lines more than sings them.
