Pain Swelling In Nose

Review -" Z najhlbsej Noci "by Concubia Nocte

This is a review that was originally published in the spring of 2008 with another fanzine.

Artist: Nocte Concubia
Style: Black / Pagan Metal
Time: 20 minutes

first Ozveny TMY
second Chut Krvi
third Dazdami Ocisty
4th Mociarmi
5th Lesy polnocneho svetla

When I demo "Z najhlbsej Noci" (what a mouthful) of the relatively young Slovak band Concubia Nocte "(which is, incidentally, part of the new underground movement UBMR) recently got her hands on, I noticed before the gloomy artwork on showing a dark forest. Very curious to see how this work may sound only I threw it in my tape recorder and gave me the dark sounds ...

The first song "Ozveny TMY" started with a eerie, ethereal melody. Once the drum starts, you will notice about which musical art it is:
The type of music is strongly reminiscent of Graveland and other more epic heavy Pagan / Black Metal bands from the Slavic countries.
The second song of the work begins with a wolf howling before the harsh guitars rebuild a dark Atmospähere.
Also, the other songs on many installations of natural sounds.

All in all I must say that this work for a demo very successful, though not necessarily above average.
For me, proved that the Slovak colleagues play satisfactory, harsh Black Metal particularly atmospheric comes over.

Review -" Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno "Blood of Winter

Artist: Winter Blood
Style: Ambient
name of the phonogram: Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno
Time: about 47 minutes

first La Monotonia della Neve
second Nel Cuore del Bosco - Iniziazione
third Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno

"Winter Blood" is the name of a grandiose ambient project from Italy. The master himself contacted me and asked me a review of the debut album "Le Ali Fredde dell'Inverno" to write - of course I agreed immediately one!

reason for my quick reaction is mainly the songs that are heard at the Winter Blood-Myspace, I also have the CD cover and logo very convinced. Was drawn on the cover (or the other illustrations in the booklet properly shaped) by the way, "Elenora Bardi, a friend of the musician, the photos of the mighty mountains, however, he shot himself.

As I said, but the booklet of their release brings the first plus points! But what is most important is, of course the music! I have sufficiently dealt with this publication and they are well rehearsed in the appropriate atmosphere, before I am writing the review had begun. Well said
more music:
There are many different genres of ambient music. Some of them employ more of the atmosphere, while others put more on variety. - Definitely is crucial for the Blood winter atmosphere!
Since it is extremely difficult reviewn to meet an ambient work, I will describe the CD as a whole and not as usual dismember the disk into individual songs!

As before mentioned, I found equal pleasure in the music of the Italian, as I look at the promising Myspace Compilation sounded. I must say as an old ambient-trailer that ambient for me above all a Music of the emotions and the rest, and those emotions, which caused the music of Blood winter with me, were certainly a positive nature!
The atmospheric synthesizer sounds draw the listener into a stress-free, atmospheric world, beyond the everyday and the stress of an encounter daily. When listening to the sounds that exude a certain kind of eternal satisfaction, it seems to me as if I was even the eagle that flies over the mighty Alps, the lord of the skies, glides through the clouds and all about looking from above, or a Wolf, who wanders alone through the endless barren mountains, away from humanity and the unbearable noise.
The smooth, gentle sounds tell stories of mountains, lakes and pristine quiet nature as one finds them in reality, unfortunately, only rarely.
The matching pictures in the booklet also tempted to dream and inspire the imagination. Who
Ambient Vinterriket groups such as gas or not is unknown, which determines know what I mean!

Musically the work can not be described in more detail, as I said is Ambient very expressive, albeit more simple music.
me the work "Le Fredde dell'Inverno Ali" has very overwhelmed! It's been an honor to describe this CD. The world of Ambient is great, but I can actually only a few groups of this genre so much as convince Winter Blood. So perfect
seem like the work but ... it is a criticism, however: it is not what everyone! Especially people who have no patience and are very anxious to be with the CD in general not be pleased.

What friends of Vinterriket and similar projects, nature lovers and meditative music as well as admirer of the final award concerning the pagan nature ... I advise you one thing: you bought this brilliant CD!

Review -" By night thoughts "of ritual


Artist:
Rite Style: Black Metal
name of the Media: From nocturnal thoughts
Running time: 22 minutes

first Moonrise
second Shrouded in snow and starlight ...
third The fourth night of occult rites
Walking through the prison of my ego's already

few months ago, I had the German band rite their latest demo "From night thoughts" to come.
When I took the packet counter and opened it, I was particularly impressed by the elaborate packaging of the tape: see in a black paper envelope on which the logo is rite ... A very original idea, have to hand it to them!

Since the cover of the work looked very promising, I was full of anticipation and curiosity, what kind of musical art of music it may be, for this work.
I the tape loaded in the tape recorder and listened to the harsh tones of the group ...

The cry of a crow announce at the beginning of a dark and eerie world of the occult, which enters the listener through this work ...
is soon silenced the gekrähe, take possession of the profound melancholy soul of the listener - a soft and deplorable Gitarrengespiele provides tilting the mood straight into desolation.
my taste that this is in no way be negative ... it is rather a very thoughtful and magical atmosphere that is being laid on the day.

After the end of the intro "Moonrise," immerses the listener in an even much more pronounced melancholic atmosphere. The distorted electric guitar is accompanied by rapid drums, which therefore crackles at a rate such that it could be confused with a smooth anti-aircraft gun! Fortunately
is in this song but rather the dramatic melody in the foreground, rather than the monotonous bludgeoned the drums.
be the melodic guitar work accompanied by the painful Death of the singer screaming "spirit". Some very impressive parts, the occult preaching of the singer, however, underscored by a clean-singing, and that voice is expressed in the case rather than as a language in this song and sounds more like an ominous occurrence prayer. This song, "Wrapped in snow and starlight ..." is recommended by the way very much, for me personally it is the favorite on this record!

with a rather dull percussion sound to announce the third track on the demo. "The night of occult rites," is alone with the title again the fascination of the three Bavaria for occult and magic expressed.
testimony also included the text of the song of the occult thought.
Here is a passage that I like particularly well:
"anthem of the night,
anthem of the woods,
anthem of the moon,
song of the spirits,
the night occult rites"
Back to Sound:
brettert As usual, the drums Mabrugh meaning of mercy and leaves no chance to exercise more silence. Surprisingly, this book contains in comparison to the previous and rocking parts, but mainly to rule the dramatic melodies from the guitar. Other
is also very striking: the screams
of mind have in the 3rd Song (at least in some places) are more likely in a low and high screeching turns. Some parts are also underlined by rocking loud grunting and lush tortured voice, which merges into a kind of infernal laughter.
After the brilliant passage that has already been cited earlier, it ends on track already.

with thematically very well fitting, sheet-like ambient sounds, and something I would call a "drip noise," begins the last track on the tape ... "Walking through the dungeons of my I's.
Not only the title of this song is thought-provoking. The guitar sounds pathetic with more sluggish, tactful drums, this time to be accompanied in part by a hymenartigen Clean vocals and pull the listener away into a dreamy mental absence.
After a long captivity in this spell, all the instruments fall silent.
only a piano can be heard. Ghostly heard the strumming and the protagonist appears in the dungeons described downright mental anguish suffered by.
The emergence of the one part of the desperate cries and the other hand, the quiet, dark Krächzstimme is apparently a kind of schizophrenia symbolizes.
The end of the song just described is very scary and presents a likely Dialogue between the protagonist and his second "I". Finally, to compare
the musical nature of this demo on the whole: the music reminds me in part to Burzum, Gorgoroth and on some old plant.

In the end, I must say that I was convinced the work very much!
Apart from the musical talent of this band (for a demo more than clean) should be appreciated the occult themes of the demo "From night thinking" very. The music and lyrics by
excited mood generated (as has often stressed) to much to think about!
this demo tape I can definitely recommend, if you have the opportunity - get hold of a copy and look for upcoming releases of the band rite!
