MEDIEVAL DEMON
"Demonolatria"

WOW! A great new band with a great sound, a killer CULT album (dedicated to D.A.F. De Sade!) with excellent concepts, themes, titles, etc.-- on Unisound Records?!?! Enter first through the spooky (totally effective!) "Phantom Of the Opera" type pipe-organ intro & howling wolves, then prepare for blasting solid Basic Black Metal with atmospheric keyboards straight out of Euronymous-era Mayhem! Pure Bathory "Return..." & "Under the Sign..."-styled grinding attack: basic & raw, but NOT primitive! With ritualistic keyboard & ACOUSTIC VIOLIN breaks for that fully melancholy & majestic, but UNHOLY ambience! This is text-book elite Nordic-influenced Black Metal with the racing, thoroughly brutal & grinding speedy Thrash accented with heavy mid-tempo Celtic Frost-ish parts like early Emperor's "Wrath of the Tyrant" or classic Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky"!!! No shit-- why isn't there more stuff like this? Truly refreshing for a non-trendy & CULT (almost abandoned by now) trip!!!

Imported from Athens, HELLAS (on Unisound Records!).

MORTUARY DRAPE
"Live 1987 - All the Witches Dance"

True Italian Black Metal classic album released by Unisound in 1994 of dead/dying-oriented & necrophiliac-inspired ritualistic/atmospheric Blackened Thrash recorded in 1987! With solemn, though erotically evil female-vocals (that 10 years later have become the standard "schtick" with practically every BM band on the planet), & pitch darkened unholy ambience, this is a truly worthy essential recording of creepy & hallucinogenic Satanic attack! Amazingly great, high-quality recording that remains fresh & radical today as it did 10 years ago!!

HANDFUL OF HATE
"Qliphothic Supremacy"

An impressive, blistering album of Nordic-styled Black Metal with some distinct Italian melodic elements from this immaculately corpse-painted quartet. Very comparable in look & sound to maybe Thy Primordial, with some brutal vocals in tandem with screechy grim vocals. Raging, blasting grind alternates at times with romantic instrumental breaks, for a dynamic mix of heaviness & soaring atmospherics! Truly surprising, as this will quickly become a favorite with BM fanatics for its high quality songwriting & production, as well as its overall memorable, "NOT GENERIC" appeal! Do NOT ignore this-- take a chance, you won't be disappointed!

ZEPHYROUS
"Entrance and Wandering on the Seven Zones"

The first CD release (from 1995) on the Impure Creations Records label out of France; the eleven-song debut album by the corpse-painted Greek trio (with help from 2 session members). Old school-sounding & very darkly atmospheric melodic Greek Black Metal (obviously influenced by Necromantia & Rotting Christ); basic blackened Greek sound with spacey keyboards & Burzumic grim vokills, but made even more unique with enchanting native folk melodies! Maybe primitive compared to many of today's big-budget releases, but this album is immediately catchy & highly listenable!

ENTIRETY
"In Caelo Omnia Acciderunt"

This new Black Metal quintet of young Italians present confident, muscular thrash that is a hig h-quality blend of Greek-influenced structures & heavy Swedish melodicism. With acoustic guitars, fully-symphonic & atmospheric keyboards, raging grim vocals (more clear than screechy, similar to Dissection!), grindy guitar, & rich thundering drums, this mini-CD (over 22 minutes running time) is a refreshing release of cold, autumnal darkness & brutality!

NECROMASS
"Abyss Calls Life"

One of Italy's best (& most underrated) black metal bands burst forth with a singularly distinctive release, following their 1994 album "Mysteria Mystica Zofiriana" on Unisound. Now on Drachma Records, don't overlook this, as "Abyss Calls Life" combines the brutality of Paradise Lost's classic album "Gothic" on Peaceville, with the raging black atmosphere of Rotting Christ & early Necromantia. Both relentlessly heavy & melodic at the same time, this is epic, anthemic BM of power & quality. A fine addition to BM collectors who are fed up with all the numerous average/generic releas es proliferating the extreme metal underground today!

Italian Import.
