Satanic Warmaster (FIN) ‎– Bafomet CD

Black Metal

While largely within the wider umbrella of black metal, RVBBERVVITCH’s unique expression nevertheless evades easy categorization – nor easy consumption. Guitars are harsh and cold, yet seemingly summoned from a post-apocalyptic crater rather than an amp; bass tones are mercilessly overdriven, grinding body and soul into the dirt; cutting out humanity altogether, both blastbeats and doomy stomps pump like pus from a Midi drum-machine; and sinister echoing soundscapes meld with malodorous French vocals, which demonically range heavily distorted screeches to low-pitched grunts. And whereas so many nowadays “black metal” bands play-act, the creator of RVBBERVVITCH matches content with form, life with art: the unconventional, largely taboo visual imagery is a reflection of the artist’s unabashedly hedonistic lifestyle.

Black Metal

“Vestiges Engraved in Frozen Mysticism” is the fifth album or “rotten sphere” that this bloody legion emanates from the mystical Valdivian landscape, with an enriching and powerful story behind this necro/masterful work, characterized by its own sound that perfectly adheres to the classic roots of the 90s. Paying a solemn tribute to the spirit of Kaldrad in one of his musical pieces, the mirrors of the past and paganism embodied in the compositional auræs.

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.

Black Metal

Pagan black metal band formed in 1991 in Wrocław, Poland.

Graveland’s style has changed from raw black metal on the early albums to a more epic sound which is inspired by Hammerheart-era Bathory. Lyrically, on the early works Rob Darken was inspired by Celtic beliefs, now he’s Wotanism-orientated and calls his music “epic pagan metal”.
