ENOCHIAN CRESCENTIN KUUDES ALBUMIJULKAISU
Kuusi laulua runsaassa puolessa tunnissa soittava albumi NEF.VI.LIM julkaistaan Suomessa 28. huhtikuuta. Albumin esimaistiaisena julkaistaan palmusunnuntaina 28.3. kappale Lyijysiipi nettisinglenä. Lyijysiiven iskut löytyvät yhtyeen Youtube, Myspace, Last.fm ja Facebook -sivuilta.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7hZ1keaxE
Vuonna 1995 alkunsa saanut Black Metal -yhtye Enochian Crescent juhlistaa 15v. taivaltaan uudella albumijulkaisulla. Perustajajäsenet vokalisti Wrath ja kitaristi-laulaja Viktor sekä vuodesta 2001 asti yhtyeessä ollut rumpali Bolton esiintyvät nyt ensimmäistä kertaa äänitteellä runsaan vuoden mukana olleiden uusien jäsenten Tunturituuli (basso) ja Vilhelm (kitara) kanssa.
NEF.VI.LIM -albumin edeltäjä Black Church oli ehdokkaana vuoden 2006 levy Finnish Metal Expo äänestykseen ja päätyi lopulta vuoden top-5 levyksi. Seuraavana työnään yhtye valmistautuu äänittämään täysin suomeksi laulettavaa täyspitkää levyä kuluvan vuoden aikana.
Enochian Crescent on kulkenut aina omia polkujaan sekä musiikillisesti että sanoituksellisesti ja uusi levy jatkaa näitä perinteitä kunniakkaasti. Rikas ja musiikin teorian rajamailla viihtyvä ilmaisu on puristettu kompromisseitta iskevien sävellysten muotoon joista yksikään ei kuulosta samalta kuin toinen, mutta silti kuulostaa joka käänteessä kiinnostavalta ja leimallisesti EC:ltä.
Tervetuloa langenneiden enkelten maille.

Vorum and Vasaeleth split EP
VASAELETH (USA) and VORUM (Fin) will soon begin recording for a split EP to be
released through Negative Existence mid 2010. The split will showcase two
orthodox, true death metal songs from each band.
VASAELETH is the true hand of death. Their works are raw, crushingly heavy,
minimalistic, and drenched in cold and evil atmosphere. Members of LEGIONS OF
ASTAROTH and DAGON unite to create sinister, murky, and brutal sounds that will
fill the void left by Autopsy, Rottrevore and early Incantation.
VORUM embodies the fundamental elements that spawned the genre: Speed,
heaviness, and aggression. They are a monolith of discontinuity that today's
scene so desperately needs... Dexterously poised amidst Demigod, Abhorrence and
Nihilist, VORUM beget early 1990's Scandinavian death metal in its purest
sense.
This unholy assemblage, presented fittingly on an antiquated medium, will
surely be one of the greatest releases of 2010. Impending cover art by
Alexander L. Brown / BNB Illustration & Design (Witchrist, Cruciamentum
etc...). Mastering to be completed by HND certified Resonance Sound Studio UK
(Lie In Ruins, Caïna, Bestial Detestation, Servorum etc...).
VASAELETH discography:
Demo MMIX, 2009 (Satanic Skinhead Propaganda)
Adorned & Iridescent, EP 2009 (Blood Harvest)
Crypt Born And Tethered To Ruin, Full length - 2010 (Profound Lore)
VORUM discography:
Grim Death Awaits, EP - 2009 (Woodcut Records)
Samples of the bands' previous work can be heard from each myspace page - www.myspace.com/vasaeleth / www.myspace.com/vorumdeath
The EP will be available from www.negative-existence.com as well as from many
other fine distributors.

ALGHAZANTH: Wreath Of Thevevat album 6th june 2008
Alghazanth is an artistic entity channeling the twin stream of all-devouring Darkness and the profound Enlightenment that lies hidden therein. The core of this beast is Black Metal, majestic atmosphere forms the flesh around its bones and Occult Satanism runs through its veins. Though its faces have been many and the shape has shifted often, its current manifestation harbours five damned souls in its flaming heart.

News about the Behexen 7"ep box set!
BEHEXEN: From The Devils Chalice box-set has still not been released!!! (set: 31.10.07)
But the covers have finally arrived from the print. It took unbelievable 630 days from Thing Makers (US.) to print them! When the covers were ready, Thing Makers also announced, that their delivering company won’t deliver in the Nordic countries, and so those unprofessional amateurs couldn’t arrange the delivery in Finland. The covers themselves needed to be fetched by the help of the Woodcuts US acquaintances. Never before have we needed to run into such an unprofessionalism.
Vinyls are already in press, and the release will happen when they arrive, probably in November 07.
The years of delay(spit!) have guaranteed that the box, when being released, will be ripped out of hands, which was not the original idea at all. And thus the best option is to release this material also in the digibackCD form, to restrain the prostituting dealers, peddlers and traders! |

Funeris Nocturnum R.I.P.
Funeris Nocturnum has been dead and buried since April 2004.
Ruho left the band in February and Trmnt.xes in April, and as a result
of these line-up changes the remaining four of us pondered the future of
the band for a little while. We all came to the conclusion that it would be
best to continue with a new name and a new band. We tried and tried, but never
seemed to come up with the perfect name for this new band of ours. This has been
the sole reason we've sort of continued as Funeris Nocturnum. It has not been
the same band and quite frankly no one really wants it to be, either.
Now that we have finally chosen the name for our new band, we can officially
lay Funeris Nocturnum to rest - there is no such band anymore.
We want to thank all our fans, friends and supporters for the great years.
It was fun while it lasted. Thank you all!
- Horgath, ImpresouvenairMort-nérgal, Sin'equamnon, TMON
Our new band is called Atakhama. We're signed to Woodcut Records and
our debut album "Existence Indifferent" should be out soon. It's hard to
label our music, but I guess you could call it extreme metal, as we're quite
much death metal oriented. No matter what you call it, we're far from Funeris Nocturnum.

Funeris Nocturnum new album info.
After two years since their last release (Code 666 - Religion Syndrome Deceased)
Funeris Nocturnum, Finnish extreme metallers, have finished work on their fourth
full-length and have also re-signed to Woodcut Records. In co-operation with their
label, the band is now preparing to unleash EXISTENCE INDIFFERENT in early 2005.
EXISTENCE INDIFFERENT presents yet another line-up for the band with
Simo Rahikainen (IMN) on guitar, Matti Honkonen (Horgath) on bass,
J-V Hintikka (Sin'equamnon) on guitar, Timo Häkkinen (TMON) on drums and
Jimmy Salmi on vocals. "Right after we had recorded Code 666 we replaced our previous
drummer Draco with Timo. Then during two months' span and some six months before
the studio time we had booked, our keyboard player Ruho and singer Trmnt.xes both
left the band. We didn't really have a place for the keyboards in our new music
anyway and luckily we were able to find Jimmy to take care of the vocals. This band
is continuing strong as ever!" says Rahikainen.
The new album reaches new heights in extreme metal. "I'm really happy that after
such a long break from recording we managed to produce an album this good!" says
the main song-writer Rahikainen. "I think after three full-length albums, we now have
a better line-up than ever and we are finding yet new paths for this band to take.
Everyone is really excited about this album. Does it still sound like Funeris Nocturnum?
Well, yes and no. Myself and Honkonen have been writing songs for this band since the first
album, but our ideas and song-writing skills have come a long way since. We did some things
a bit different this time around. In a way you can see this album as a mixture of all of
our previous releases and then some more. Some songs are just as fast as those on the first
album, but overall we're far from that. This album sounds more aggressive, dynamic and straight-forward.
The lyrics go deep into human mind's perversities and obsessions as well as paradoxes and
disadvantages of modern society."

Of the tracks on the new album Rahikainen adds "There are certainly some of the slowest
songs we have ever done on the album, but overall it's really aggressive and quite a
fast album. We have consciously taken steps aside from black metal and added touches of
death metal." When asked about the title Rahikainen revealed "EXISTENCE INDIFFERENT comes
from the category meaning that existence and self-consciousness are the same being.
The same, not as a matter of comparison, but really and truly in and for themselves.
The rest of the meanings? Try to figure it out for yourself. Prepare yourself, this
album is going to hit you hard". |
