After years of predominant death/black & post-black metal to discover a band able to reawaken the darker and most medieval scenario of the ’90 is a special surprise. Sacrarium debut album has to be compared with the riffing of the early Abigor’s albums. Melodic guitar lines supported by a violent rhythmic aggression draw the listener to evade once again from rotten reality and face a new dimension of demise and tragedy. The French will raise again the cup of blood shed by the immortal enemies, a timeless dimension to abuse and overcome the borders of reality. For fans of Abigor & Gorgoroth.

“Loi Martiale”

French Black Metal crusade is proceeding and Moonreich killer melodies, sometimes reminding the darker side of Dissection, supported by a martial black metal drumming performance mark the passage.
Some late ’90 influences strengthen the wide evocative strength forging a spectrum of black metal feelings still able to awake the eye of the beholder.

The Cold vision of the rising northlands, the shadow from the past. The Opening of the Primordial Whirl is the new chapter by the Ancient Dolomitic Forests band Near, one of the few bands active today that incarnates the corrupted unholy atmosphere of the early days of the Black Metal recall. Expect nothing but gloomy tones of coldness, a monumental atmosphere created by the echo of nature strength and immortality .

“Welcome Winter”
WW is another evocation in the “Filosofem” Black Metal vein in the purest form, soundscapes of the twilight world with as immanent super-natural perception.

Empty
“The House Of Funerary Hymns”
In 1995 Maligner and B. Sanety decided to make their own band so to satisfy their darkest musical feelings: Empty was then formed. In 1997 Drizzt joined the newly formed band to play the bass. Last November and December Empty performed a mini-tour throughout Spain and played a gig in Madrid with Immortal and Primordial. In the middle of winter in 2001, “A source of Hollow Essence” was recorded and then released in 2002. “The Last Breath Of My Mortal Despair” followed on in 2005, showing the Empty’s most negative and depressive side, but being more Black Metal than ever. This new chapter in the band’s career confirms Empty’s unique ability to craft funereal moods by shaping Black Metal into a painful perception of decay. After a 14-year music career, Empty can be deemed as the father of this “genre”, as the band inspires feelings of inner darkness in a very personal way and is firmly rooted in its own style of playing without being affected by the plasticization of contemporary Black Metal scene. The macabre old-fashioned grotesque cover by Chris Moyen puts the final nail in the putrescent coffin of emptiness.

Sytry
“Hunger Of Cold Nights”
Sytry continue their cold northern crusade, ignoring any pathetic human trend. Hunger of Cold Nights is here as the first full length, after the demo re-press, manifesting another anthem of monumental cold and necro Black Metal in the early nineties heritage, yet on the same no-compromise path but in a more accurate form of expression.

Homselvareg
“Homselvareg + bonus tracks”
A sombre vision of nature meets the tradition of the Italian Alps. The myth of the Homselvareg, an atavist creature dwelling the Alps of the Northern Italian Folklore, is summoned by the merging of elegant and evocative acoustic passages and the raging fury of Black Metal, all transcended in the unstoppable forces of nature.
The concept of this album has been shaped by visions occurred to its writer. Those who are into early Ulver , Windir and Enslaved will fit into this anti modern perspective. This album was previously released as a self production, short become a collector item in the underground, and now remastered features also three bonus tracks from Homselvareg´s demo.

Empty
Empty was formed in 1995 in the glory days for Black Metal when Maligner and B. Sanety decided to make a band in order to satisfy their darkest musical feelings. After a long wandering in the underground in 2000 finally songs composed between 95-99 was put on the “Eternal Cycle of Decay” demo, and in 2001 “A source of Hollow Essence” their debut album was released, impressing for his monumental sombre atmosphere.
No doubt that “The Last Breath Of My Mortal Despair” is to be considered as the higher peak of the band with his amplification of the grey and depressive shadings but still remaining into the cold and sinister Black Metal feeling of the early days. Graveyards, nothing but Graveyards…
Essential for those into Shining, early Forgotten Tomb, Beatrik.

Trist
Zrcadleni Melancholie is a must for the maniacs of depressive grey sounds. For his uncompromised attitude Trist has become a symbol of the underground, a scream from the cold abyss in two agonizing songs. Maybe the last chapter in the existence of Trist.
A serious improvement on the songwriting compared to “Sebevrazední Andìlé” but without losing an inch of their dangerous tormented feeling, therefore Still in the early Shining or Abyssic hate suicidial path.

Sytry

Black Metal from Northern Italy, hymn to the Somber nature in the vein of Tenebrae in Perpetuum and Imago Mortis, a very promising act!
Northern style Black Metal that may in some moments recall other acts from Northern Italy like Lorn and Imago Mortis, dark mysticism and cruel coldness, including a “Transilvanian Hunger” cover.
