"Etherial"
Atmospheric Blackened Doom Metal similar to
Decoryah (well-played clear guitars) with Swedish/Blackened-Death vocals
(along the lines of Ancient Wisdom or Gothenburg area grim vokills)... A
successful attempt at a refined, sophisticated type of extreme Metal that
will grab your attention & hold much listening pleasure for a long time to
come!
Imported from Mexico (on OZ Productions).

PERPETUAL
"Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriam"
Do NOT overlook this, as Perpetual from
Puerto Rico have tons of great potential! Excellent Modern Black Metal
limited only by the band's absorbed imitation of Cradle of Filth-like
arrangements (yes, there's even the occasional Jezebel Deva-like female
vocals)... Skillful musicianship & great songwriting will make this band a
world-class contender (if they manage to develop & cultivate their own
individual style)...
Imported from Italy (on Polyphemus Records).

SHUB-NIGGURATH
"The Kinglike Celebration"
Pure old school Blackened Thrash with
that primitive darkness & blasting grind that recall Sarcofago & early Sodom! This unholy trinity
from Mexico, shoot forward with their second assault of utterly evil
(albeit irreverent) thrashy atmospherics! High energy Black Metal (similar
to Angel Corpse!) with raspy Satanic vokills, &
basic Deathish Speed-Thrash guitar arranged with Doomy breaks (& just a
slight touch of creepy, etherial keyboards) will have all bullet-belt &
spiked headbangers scrambling for their old vinyl treasures! A heavy gem
sure to stir interest in more recordings by these guys, "The Kinglike
Celebration (Final Aeon On Earth)" will immediately leave you wanting more
& more!

FUNEREAL MOON
"Grim...Evil"
New for Summer 1997 by Mexico's
mysteriously dark Satanists with more of their hallucinogenic aural
excursions into the Abyss! 6 Songs of truly Black atmospherics & creeping,
crawling invocations, enflamed speaking of unholy tongues, & rhythmic
grind! With lyrics borrowed from the texts of Anton Szandor LaVey ("The
Satanic Bible") & J.A.S. Collin de Plancy ("The Dictionnaire Infernal"),
cursed intentions assault & annoint all who dare to listen with cold
hell-fire! Totally worth selling your soul for is Luciferia's too-brief
contribution of female invocations (sounds like good sex to me!--
webmistress) on "The Lust" (side B, track #1)!!! A truly demonic orgy of
virginal sacrifice & debauched abandonment!
Imported from Mexico (on Defuntes Production).

FUNEREAL MOON
"Beneath the Cursed Light"
Dark & evil soundscapes of uncompromising blackness (similar to the recordings by MZ.412 on Cold Meat Industry, but definitely NOT "noise") make up the first 4 songs, before giving way to the rest of the album of purely Satanic Black Metal with that true feeling similar to old Bathory, Burzum, & Nastrond. Creepy crawling atmospheres with unsettling whispery vocals, moaning tortured women, funeral keyboards, & hallucinogenic ambience, alternate with mid-paced blasting BM intensity. The keyboards & drums take center-stage, as acoustic guitar is used only sparingly, but a demonic majesty prevails to add to the chilly, ritualistic proceedings. A swirling, cloudy orgy of devilish mysticism throughout, serves as the perfect soundtrack to black-hooded, candle-lit unholy rites.

AGONY LORDS
"The Sun of the Cursed"
Extreme blackened Death Metal from Mexico by six guys who are obviously inspired by melodic Swedish harmonic grind. World-class musicianship & great songwriting skills aspiring to stand besides At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Ablaze My Sorrow, Crown of Thorns, Sacrilege, etc. (almost succeeds, but there is a well-developed slickness probably aimed at American markets); definitely not your average Mexican crustcore that's for sure! *(11 songs for a total running time of over 53 minutes)
