REVIEWS DECEMBER 2013

LUCIFERIANO: ‘O OPOSITOR’-CD 2013-BRASIL-6 TRACKS: This is a band a little forgotten by fans of the Brazilian black metal. It is a band that took too long to release an album, so perhaps I think the reason for the missed one. I had contact with them over 7 years ago to more, I don't remember well, I had to go to hear again the demo that they sent me years ago, because of them I interviewed a few 6 or 7 years ago, so that we know if the music had variations in all these years, and I can say that very little except for the good sound of recording music continues heavy/ dark/ half time with a few variations of fast black metal tracks as an opponent means changes with time, rapid vocals , very strange at time to sing, others more sung with cries of crow, does not growl / not strident, a black metal more philosophical I would say. A band that combines syncopated, with many changes of pace, with a sound very good. This work is the best tribute that the band could give his legion of fans of black metal, by waiting…very good work!.....7.3/10
BLACKER: ‘FUNERAL MAYHEM’-CD-R PRO-2013-7 TRACKS-PERU: I have written about this band and along this path without leave to tell the truth to advanced in both the musical and in the recording quality. This is perhaps his best work, I hope will be a preview of their Lp, but still have some shortcomings that makes it at times boring and makes you turn off the CD player. The topics are best worked with rhythms of best quality always long sustained nothing complex but if of great intensity ... very similar to MAYHEM ( saving the distances) is perhaps because it is their primary influence. The drum beats sound better than at other times to times fast with some good rolls and changes which mate very well with the rhythms in guitar…here comes the part that always I said SILVA BLACKER (vocalist) must stop shouting both…saturates the tracks with unnecessary screams, too many treble that used to fill gaps in the tracks.. the best tracks are no doubt of the same band FUNERAL MAYHEM, THE BLACK KISS, HIMNO AT LUCYFER… this work includes as a bonus extra THE BLACK VOMIT (SARCOFAGO) not very well done… listen best covers but this understandable is perhaps because it is recorded live. THE FREEZING MOON AND DEATH CRUSH (MAYHEM) … … …to be your favorite band these came out best achieved.. With SILVA imitating tirelessly to DEAD… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ……………………………………………………………………….7.1 /10 blackerband Hotmail.com
BESTIAL DEVASTATOR: ‘OUT OF THE DEPTHS’-TAPE 2013-10 TRACKS-GERMANY: Back to the past!!! It is a new film? I was so tired to see how many bands want to be old school without have a true feeling and basic 80’s sound. I was totally fuck off with that. But certainly I was wondering when I had this masterpiece in my hands, I told me true Germany bands spite thrash again, and yeZZZZZZ!!! This new thrash metal band plays aggressive /speed 80’s Germany vein in all real dimension, I Don't know why other bands from other countries who want to play 80's thrash not getting the true sound of the German thrash only they can achieve so much quality. When I refer to this band I'm doing the true worshipper of the German thrash, I am not going to the musically quality because their sound is easy to do technically speaking , the music is fast but simple riffs, very to the sound of early KREATOR/PROTECTOR/ SODOM/POISON/only usual in those days nothing complex with sufficient force and ferocity that'll make you jump from a building without having ever smoked anything strange. The recording have a poor quality, not because they have been recorded as well, is by the record label of which has been released, it seems to me that the tape recorder where he recorded the tapes had headers a little dirty. But basically it stops listening to and what you're going to find is everything a true thrasher you want to hear ... quickly, crudity, and something of hardcore punk but also the European… this material is 100% recommended for the Thrashers…………………………………………………………………………………7.5/10
PANNDORA: ‘HERETIC’S BOX’-CD 2011-BRASIL-11 TRACKS+INTRO: Recently I got this masterpiece of true Heavy/speed metal in old school vein. It is as if the GIRLSCHOOL had never stopped to play, saving some distant it is only a comparison. Because the music is inspired by this band plus others too…PANNDORA is a female band from MARINGA- PARANA (one of the best place to life) that plays only true a basic heavy/speed metal based on ancient heavy cults like RUNAWAYS/GIRLSCHOOL/ and remembering some touches to CIRITH UNGOL, Inclusively I remembering to LIVING DEATH and OZ bands. Specially in the vocals parts, it’s sounding great…But always are adding some newest rhythms according our times with good a decent tunes on guitars with some guitars solo’s not memorable but very well done too. The bass player is following in better way than others bassist and is very precise in to be a complement of the guitar rhythms. At the drumming parts, the dry beats of mid tempo of a good drummer it makes that all tracks are sounding very heavy as hard rock and Undoubtely with the help of a good vocalist. The 11 tracks here are complety eated for a day of rest, that day that you want only to listen simply to metal. Without fear of being wrong it is perhaps along with HIGHWAY and VIRGIN KILLER some of the best bands of women that they practice of this side of the continent that they sound enough good … well for them and that they continue with the good work that they should come far. ……..………………………………………………………………………………………..7.4/10
LEPROUS: ‘MY INTERNAL HELL’-CD-R –PRO-BRASIL-4 TRACKS-2010: For these who did not live through them 80's and had access to the whole big Brazilian scene, it will be difficult to know something about they and more of its sound to them. They have fighting to gain themselves a space for more than 25 years with a powerful death/thrash metal speaking about the material thrown in 80's, strictly. Definitely, in those years the musical was dirtiest, more aggressive , it hurts that only they edited a work in those years, after more than 20 years they turn back with a work based on the sound 80 but weaker in its sound, more in the way of the thrash simple metal not complex at all of basic riffs much but very basic … I would say who remained in 80's but with few musical evolution … the band seems classified in very simple guitars and a drummer that does not manage to go out of the sound of empty drums of 80's. the recording is done in the same way that was recorded in 80s, but I am wrong it is analog recording . This had to be a bonus but the truth that I prefer the recording that they did in 80's. Without doubt in these years were another feeling, another time … for the lovers of this type of pure sound without freshness, simply and directly, very honestly, they have to obtain it but if you look for quality this is not for you … ….is the truth………………………………………………………………………………….6.7/10
DARK OPUS: ‘DIABOLUS IN MUSICKA RITES’-CD-R –PRO-BRASIL-4 TRACKS-2011: In my last trip to Brazil I met a lot of people, many bands and I am expanding the musical spectrum in my head. Tons of bands I met some very good other simply good or bad, within the first group is DARK OPUS that without arriving to be wonderful, the music is in its fair measure no more nor less, why you placed it within very good because there is no excess is everything in the level that is needed as a band. Some things that I liked was the keyboard does not saturate the tracks. it is used in perfect harmony with the rhythms and heavy half-time, giving you the perfect atmosphere to the tracks sounding to the first of ROTTING CHRIST only on keyboards. The music does not have a main highlight of any member all is well even with touches that goes to very fast parts, Immediately, passing to atmospheres and half time with a sound of the early 90's in the purest GREEK style without leave to have the strength and vitality of the Brazilian bands. A great contribution to the black metal scene of BH. Without doubt what they will do them in the future. I hope to hear soon a new work more professional, Although this work comes on professional CD-R , what it would be better to have an industrial Cd where sounds can be heard best with best equipamments, because the band deserves a better professional study. To be a first work is a very launch, Perhaps it the fact that their members already had previous experience including playing in another band of folk metal known like 'Barbarian Warriors in search of Wisdom' , but that does not detract from this work and musical creativity that this band has to compose their tracks….great work…………………………………………………………………7.7/10
CURSE: ‘THE CURSE’-CD-R PRO-BRASIL-4 TRACKS-2011: Once again we find another band of Retro-thrash metal coming from the brother country of Brazil... A country recently dedicated to exporting thrash metal without barriers and by tons. The truth is this market that is saturating the thrash market with full band repeated without much creativity coming to sounding sometimes odious in comparison to bands of the glories days of thrash metal. I do not mean this sounds bad, but is another rather than copy or you want to follow the path of VIOLATOR, without sounding so, is a copy of the thrash Bay area with some German thrash riffs without sounding as well. What I can add that we had not been said before of the retro thrash...Here, the best are the riffs as work on guitars is always good, to make good thrash is to have good guitarists, and this band has good beats, just that it sounds repetitive... I have no more comments……………………………………………………………6.3/10
BURNING TORMENT:’DARKNESS REBORN’-BRA-CD-R PRO-5 TRACKS-2011: This is the best surprise that I found in this last trip, a band of Death metal as only Brazil knows how to create them. Without more announces I will say that it is perhaps the continuation of large monsters of the Brazilian scene, playing at times to KRISIUN, RAEBELIUM and FUNERATUS, very influenced by the speed of the drumms of those blows fast and furious, of those that you displace head, sometimes include some samples that can come into conflict with the borders of the black metal also evoking DARK FUNERAL in vocal parts but very rarely, the sound will of parts to ultra-fast changes to mid tempo that makes them a very high value. In spite of the fact that this is a CD-R promo the band already has quality and are about to launch its first professional work ... which will break the insurance world metal scene, giving BRAZIL another great death metal band that insurance will conquer the world…. Excellent work……………………………………………………………………….8.4/10
LORD IMPALER/ATHOS:’BABYLON WHORE-…WERE THERE BEFORE THEY BORN-SPLIT CD-R PROMO-4 TRACKS-GREECE 2013: Previously I did a review of LORD IMPALER some issues back, In these times I was greatfuly surprised by the high quality of tracks of this greek band, but certainty this work it exceeds what has been done for them before. Each track is motivated by the honour of the ancient Greek warriors and inclusively I think they are back in time and they’re going to the old oracle as inspiration font. The tracks are most developed than before, it contains a full speed parts but also rhythmic parts, mid parts, all combined so perfectly that I saw a consistent growth in all their lines…Musically the band is getting a mixture between NECROMANTIA/NAER MATARON adding their own sound that it do a strongly band in the greek scene. ATHOS was a new brand band from HELLAS I ‘m wondering with their sound, because they ‘re mixing HELLAS history with BLACK METAL.. not VIKING metal. More well, we must to call it HELLAS METAL…yezz!!! The tracks are powerful HELLAS metal, well structured, adding new thematic in their chords with rhythms that goes from the speed to slow and down tempo, enrichment with high. I’m very glad indeed to have this kind of stuff in our pages, because I was tired to see only tons of VIKING metal there, and it’s giving a new breath into the scene………………………………………………………………..8.6/10
