CALIGULA:’RITUAL DE LUJURIA DIABOLICA’-DEMOS 2009/2011-5 TRACKS-PARAGUAY: The first time that I have in my hands a work of this band that in a lot of time had listened only by name but I did not have the opportunity to listen to them . They were preceded of good comments and to be a 100 % honest I even have some doubts of its musical quality, basically for the fact of the simple arrangements and some recordings contained in this work, they are recording in low quality but it even is listenable. I do not want detracting of this work but to be a compilation of their previous works of the band it contains a few good things and the bad of the band too. Principally by the fact that the recordings are realized by low budget and sometimes the sound does not allow to appreciate the quality of the band. Leaving aside it is fact, the tracks are faster, simple, of basic chords but with a real sound, very raw black metal also is very much influenced by 2 basic currents, the South American vein and the Finnish vein associated much with the raw hardcore of TERVEET KAADET, ANTICIMEX and the first works of IMPALED NAZARENE, which gives a sound raw black entire metal. This work includes tracks of demos from 2009 to 2011, some of them present an evolution, which certainly I liked for its simple-mindedness and brutality. Interesting Tracks ‘GRAVEYARD RITUAL’ and ‘RITUAL DE LUJURIA DIABOLICA’ … … … … ……………………………… 7.1/10

VRAG: ‘OROKTELL EJSZAKAK’-CD-R PROMO 2012-HUNGARY-3 TRACKS: This work is a sequence of their previous work called 'AVARKOPORSO' in musical concept speaking, arrangements and composition both in the structure of the same promo which include 3 tracks the same way the previous and in the same vein of the ambient black metal depressive. The tracks are written with a basic structure of 4-5 changes in rhythms at mid-tempo, with simple riffs and long sustained with mid tempo and slow rhythms, sometimes repetitive rather logical because each song is during around 12 minutes each one. This band belongs to a single member, which also belongs to the WITCHER band, though both bands go for the black metal depressive, Two bands are going in different ways in the music and inspiration. The tracks are sung in Hungarian idiom, doing this work more interesting which gives power to the voice. And the good news is that being from Eastern Europe they have a sound slightly different from the rest of Europe. Musically the band sounds good having some deficiencies in the sound recording that for lovers of the underground makes it more interesting. …7.1/10 Maniacthebutcher@gmail.com www.vrag.uw.hu
