The Polish pagans "Stworz" have published in March 2008 their first demo.
The name of the phonogram is "Blask nad Wiecznymi Lasami", in German as much as "A bright light on the eternal forests".
The guys kindly sent me a copy of their demo and I commissioned a review of the tape to be published in the magazine!
A big thank you is so pronounced in the band.

about the band itself can not tell much else. The line-up does not publish precise details about themselves and act anonymously.
The only thing you can tell, is that the band was founded in 2007 and since then has been active in the underground scene of the Polish Gentiles.

The simple design of the cover demo shows a snow-covered pine forest floor.
The cover would have of course a little more imaginative may be, but that is a not so discourage the music closer to take a closer look!
It is with the rest of the layout is also looking better. A faint signal reveals the political opinion of the Polish group: a sun appears in the booklet of the tape triumphantly to the fore!

"Zmierzch nad Slavia" is the first title of the demo, accompanied by the sounds of nature sounds very slowly when you play the tape.
It is an atmospheric Gitarrengespiele. In the background are still to hear forest sounds and the natural atmosphere, the perfect portal into the world of Slavic paganism and nature in which the Band the receiver in the next song lures.

After the soft melodies of the first song for a good while, have fallen silent slow, it starts even with the first real hammer song! - For the song "slonce Niezwyciezone" demonstrate the Polish men a really good successful "catchy" title!
accompanied the dramatic and atmospheric melody of the guitars from primitive drums are combined with the probing Gröl-/Kreischgesang a very impressive piece - for me personally, the favorite for the demo.

"Blask nad Wiecznymi Lasami" is the title song of this demo tape. Although it would not hurt a little variety, so filled with the song but its purpose and destroy the atmosphere created by the previous song means! In the course of time, the song becomes more and more melancholy, almost depressed high guitar riffs. The drums in this song is done very slowly and also contributes to the supposedly depressed sounds.

After the harsh atmosphere ends will sound again (from the line already familiar / or similar) Gitarrengespiele. However, this brings only a very short light into the gloomy mood of the work, as the Horde takes all their strength together to devote themselves towards the end of the tape again to the harsh atmosphere! Dramatic Melodies and hateful vocals. Much more diversified is this the right track! is completed

this nearly 40-minute work followed by a folky acoustic outro, that still supported by a keyboard (at least I would assign a high piano-like tones such).

In the end just a very nice work! For a demo, it can be seen, has surprised me most the length, after all, it is above the norm of a black metal demo, but that does not bother me really!
course - "the longer" is not equal "better", but the Slavic comrades have with "Blask nad Wiecznymi Lasami" (as the unpronounceable title for someone with a German mother tongue may be) proved that they loyal folk, nature-loving and very atmospheric black metal master! The only criticism is the life ... but hey, it's in the work mainly to the atmosphere and is given here definitely!

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!
