APOKALUPSIS (2018)
Con una carrera sólida que arranca a mediados de la década de los noventa el trío de Maryland presenta su séptimo álbum de estudio, conservando únicamente a Ron Vento de la formación original. Un trabajo que llega casi cuatro años después de su último lanzamiento y que viene por un lado a ahondar en su vertiente más de ciencia ficción y por otro ofrece una combinación violenta, intensa, brutal y a veces disonante de black death metal característico de la banda. Un trabajo de once temas que abarca y contempla una buena dosis de sonidos black death metal en donde podemos destacar las agresivas y brutales voces de Ron, aspecto que dota a este álbum de un componente tanto agresivo como violento y brutal; no podemos olvidar el omnipresente sonido de batería apartando la contundencia necesaria a la propuesta que acercan su sonido al de bandas como Behemoth (imposible no mencionarlos sobe todo en cuanto los fraseados de batería se aceleran y se entremezclan perfectamente con las voces), o Obituary. Sin embargo tampoco podemos olvidarnos de las guitarras que luchan por respirar en medio de todo el sonido, para ofrecer acertados y variados riffs de tendencia thrash algunos de ellos y que suponen un nuevo aliciente y perspectiva dentro del álbum que aun así por momentos logra crear un perfecto desequilibrio sónico en donde las disonancias cobran protagonismo y ofrecen un variado repertorio de recursos dentro del metal extremo en donde la brutalidad y la melodía se ven equilibrados. Un acertado trabajo, denso, oscuro y brutal que entremezcla acertadamente diferentes estilos dentro del metal extremo con presencia importante del death y el black. (7,9).



1. And After 00:48  

2. Even Angels Sin 03:56
Even angels sin What is, is and always was There is no beginning and no end The fall laid foundation for everything that has happened since Jealousy, hatred, envy, wrath and pride Rejected the reign, illuminated and brought to light Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone The time before this when humankind did not exist (When humankind did not exist) Exiles turned pretenders, but only few remember Even the angels, yes the angels sin They sin For this the angels are thrust to banishment in sin Legions following the dragon Battalions under requisition, seeking domination The things you have come to believe are imprecise Cast out, but not to earth Dispersed through the universe Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone The time before this when humankind did not exist (When humankind did not exist) Exiles turned pretenders, but only few remember Even the angels, yes the angels sin They sin For this the angels are thrust to banishment in sin Behemoths bonded to the stars existing deep within their hearts Held in perpetuum Here there can be no escape, but evil always finds its way Even through the unimaginable measure Spheres of plasma through the void Sheltering the hellion hordes' primordial presence One for every fallen being, they all will house eternal demons Made as prison cells, but spawning life as well The king of hell was not cast straight to earth He made his way through this universe Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone The time before this when humankind did not exist Even angels sin, even angels sin, even angels sin 
3. Phlegethon 03:52
 Lying in wait, a hanging fire judgement
The stars begin to quake, can the sentence they evade

Magnastars, hot burning hells
Unleashing solar flares escaping from their cells
Magnastars they tremble from the power
Of the ones who wish all life devoured

The star that fell from heaven
The son of dawn in chains no more
Phlegethon that stream of fiery light
Astronomical bodies in flight

Kill the dreamer, and see what becomes of the dream

Celestial navigation, bending time cessation
In them there is no fear, traveling through light years

Bound to steal your soul, they are bound to take your soul

Magnastars, hot burning hells
Unleashing solar flares escaping from their cells
Magnastars they tremble from the power
Of the ones who wish all life devoured

The star that fell from heaven
The son of dawn in chains no more
Phlegethon that stream of fiery light
Astronomical bodies in flight

Kill the dreamer, and see what becomes of the dream

Celestial navigation, bending time cessation
In them there is no fear, traveling through light years

Some stars collapse, faster than they flee
There they shall remain, trapped perpetually

In that deep abyss, alone living in perdition
In them time shall cease, for humans this is heaven
4. Arrival 04:25
Billions of years, they have travelled far Just one task at hand, to lead you astray To be the things that do not exist, no, as though they did Feeding the imagination to come to believe With belief becomes potential Then potential becomes power Power turns into dominion Dominion molded into mass disbelief Fallen angels in disguise clandestine to the world Aspersion followed by affusion Their power is most effective when it's least perceived Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden Eve blinded by its cunning ways Sometimes you can’t see what is most real Walking beside us, guiding our way Annunaki, reptilians, andromedans, nordics and the greys To be the things that do not exist, no, as though they did Feeding the imagination to come to believe Conspiring and watching your every step Cloaked by the pale moonlight Lurking deep within the shadows Exchanging your faith for pure torment Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world Aspersion followed by affusion Their power is most effective when it's least perceived Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden Eve blinded by its cunning ways Sometimes you can’t see what is most real Walking beside us, guiding our way Wandering beings for whom is reserved the blackness and darkness forever Through every prominent kingdom and dynasty They are the ones who are the masters Watching you become their slaves Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world Aspersion followed by affusion Their power is most effective when it's least perceived Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden Eve blinded by its cunning ways Sometimes you can’t see what is most real Walking beside us, guiding our way Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world Aspersion followed by affusion  
5. Sarkikos 04:25   
Destination, damnation

When you see the images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black

Throned on chariots of fire
Shaking theism, forging lies

Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons

Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh

Extending only to those who have lost their way

Apollyon, fear the angel of death
Since man’s inception putting faithless to the test
Apollyon, he’s been here before
Through centuries, taking different form
Extraterrestrial, terrestrial forms

Captivation, then fascination

On the images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black

Grand illusions in the sky
Shaking theism, forging lies

Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons

Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh

Extending only to those who have lost their way

Apollyon, fear the angel of death
With his deception, putting faithless to test
Apollyon, he’s been here before
Through centuries, taking different form
Extraterrestrial, terrestrial forms

Ersatz idols piercing through the void
False preceptors piercing through the endless void

Creating images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black

Grand illusions in the sky
Shaking theism, forging lies

Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons

Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh
6. Dozakh 01:16  
7. Magor Missabib 04:04
 Abduction Is never for what it seems 
They always choose for lack of belief 
Death comes to the fortunate with relief 
The others kept alive endlessly 

Wishing to be a stillborn child, that your mother’s womb had been your grave 

Magor Missabib, terror on every side 
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes 

A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace 

Pashur born of mortal skin, possession overtakes him 
Pashur dies and will be damned, though the beast will start again 

2000 years now passed, for him it was just like a day 
Striking fear and stealing souls, untamed until he must obey 

Magor Missabib, terror on every side 
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes 
Magor Missabib, terror on every side 

A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace 
The demon will come to embrace 

The occupation of the flesh is ancient way 
Now just lust for torture and decay 

Awake but paralyzed, conscious but feel every knife 
A coma but still you see, the lacerations appear then vanishing 

Amaranthine, it will never cease 
Inexorable, persecution mercilessly 

A mind rape for those who have been returned 
To spread fear of the ones beyond the sun 
But death comes to the fortunate with relief 
The others kept alive endlessly 

Wishing to be a stillborn child, that your mother’s womb had been your grave 

Magor Missabib, terror on every side 
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes 

A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace 
The demon will come to embrace 

Magor Missabib, you will remember his name 
Magor Missabib, you will remember his name
8. The Great Expanse 04:22
Products of the grand creator Inhabit this universe In spectral dimensions, unfathomable to the human grasp But they cannot be here, for the great expanse is much too vast Across the dead region, none can go No species will ever transverse the dark Constructed, insurmountable from the start Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight Out of reach before the flicker fades Civilizations work this way They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct By the time you know they exist, they won’t No persuasion can warp spacetime But for the fallen angelic lifeline They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct By the time you know they exist, it's too late No persuasion can cross the black hole But under fallen angelic control They chose not to keep their first estate Lightyears would take thousands of generations to overcome Trying to harness power of a billion suns, it cannot be done so they cannot be here, for the great expanse cannot be undone Across the dead region, none can go No species will ever transverse the dark Constructed, insurmountable from the start Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight Out of reach before the flicker fades Civilizations work this way They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct By the time you know they exist, they won’t No persuasion can warp spacetime But for the fallen angelic lifeline They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct By the time you know they exist, it's too late 
9. Esoterica 04:09
   But from those who seemed to be something
whatever they were, it makes no difference to them

For those that seemed to be something added nothing to them
They will not walk into the web of a deceiver willingly

The scripture speaks to ones who open their eyes
These are the few who look to hang on words from psalmists
Revere those who seek the truth, but beware of those who come to find it

Esoterica, understood only by the blessed

For those that seemed to be something added nothing to them
They will not walk into the web of a deceiver willingly

We have nothing to offer such an advanced race
And the technology that they have to give only leads to war and hate

Can you smell the sulphur (sulphur) through their disguise
That malefic aroma burning through their eyes

For those who know prepare for strife
The chaos soon to begin
Penitence is permanent, It erases sin

This is tacenda, things better left unsaid

It is best to let die what is dying, they dug a pit for us, but in it they will fall
The time will come, we all walk through the fire, the enriched will not be burned by the flame

But from those who seemed to be something
Whatever they were, it makes no difference to them

You never know when you may entertain angels, fallen or otherwise

But from those who seemed to be something
Whatever they were, it makes no difference to them

For those who know prepare for strife
The chaos soon to begin
Penitence is permanent, It erases sin

They have nothing to offer such a redeemed race
If you look inside you will find it, a divine touch and his embrace

Can you smell the sulphur (sulphur) through their disguise
That malefic aroma burning through their eyes
10. Apokalupsis 04:52   
Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding
Raining horror from the heavens

Alien bodies filled with demons, they’ve always been one in the same
Flood waters vanquished men the first time, now they all will burn in flames

Trinity of evil from the skies, not from the earth
The valley of megiddo, give rise to the great wars birth

Exalt, extol, magnify
All hail, worship with reverence, or die

Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding
Raining horror from the heavens

This is the end of the earth that exists now
The first must fall to be reformed
Hand painted by the greatest artist
Throughout the vast multiverse

Follow the deceiver
Into his hell, enthralled
To the true believer
Your covenant with death can be annulled

Just fall into the universes embrace
No need to cling to life, death has no sting

Their flesh shall be consumed while standing on their feet
Their tongues disintegrated inside their very mouths

The sun and moon are darkened, and all the stars withdrawn
When he decides to end it, the light will blind you all

Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding

Exalt, extol, magnify
All hail, worship with reverence, or die
Raining horror from the heavens

Contrivance of a fiendish swan song
Will be constricted and constrained
For when the trumpet begins sounding
So begins the millennial reign
11. Lo-Ruhamah 04:42

DE ROEP VAN HET WOUND (2018)
La trayectoria de la banda a lo largo de estos diez y seis años se muestra sólida, con un buen número de lanzamientos a sus espaldas y buena muestra de ello es que estamos ante su cuarto larga duración, un nuevo álbum al frente del cual ha estado J.S., un aspecto que llama la atención especialmente si tenemos en cuenta que en Theudho llegó a ser una banda de cuatro miembros y es reseñable el buen trabajo y aporte de J.S. para la grabación y composición de esta obra. La música de Theudho siempre se ha venido encuadrando dentro del black metal con influencias pagan y no es menos cierto que su estilo ha encontrado variaciones en cada nuevo lanzamiento, haciéndolos un tanto imprevisibles. "De roep van het woud" está integrado por diez temas en donde J.S. se ha empleado a fondo en crear un trabajo que de black pagan un poco alejado de estereotipos. En el álbum no encontramos elementos acústicos, ni canciones de relleno, ni mucho menos el empleo de instrumentos folk. Sin embargo si que "De roep van het woud" transmite ese aura de paganismo gracias a la atmósfera que se logra crear, que es el resultado de cierto aire melódico en las composiciones, un aporte de épica presente en todo el álbum y sobre todo el buen acople entre las voces de tendencia agresiva y oscura en contraste con las guitarras que ofrecen una visión más melódica del género. Música inspirada por la mitología y la historia que se transmite de una forma agresiva, oscura y densa en un álbum que encierra cierta complejidad que se descifra en cada nueva escucha. (8,4).

OV MHURN


Los orígenes de esta formación procedente de Terrassa se remontan a 2012, con aquel primer line-up inicial editaron su primer Ep ese mismo año que contenía tres temas con el título de "Abstract Paths" y que sirvió para darse a conocer. A partir de aquí silencio hasta la edición de un sigle en 2016 que volvía a poner a la banda en cartelera, sin embargo estos años que no han editado nada nuevo, si que sirvieron para incorporar a Ricardo Caballero a voces que junto a Danthor Wildcrow y Ury ov Mhurn trabajaron para tener listo "Twisted Thoughts of the Mist", su primer álbum editado el pasado mes de Diciembre y que cuenta con doce temas. La propuesta de Ov Mhurn se adentra por terrenos del black metal con diversas influencias que van desde al ambient, al sinfónico y sin dejar de sonar con un aire melódico dentro de un álbum que logra ser muyr dinámico, en donde la contundencia y oscuridad de ciertas partes de las composiciones se ven acompañadas por diferentes e interesantes cambios de ritmo en donde la línea melódica y casi que intimista cobra protagonismo. Un álbum que podéis escuchar en su página de bandcamp del grupo, teniendo también a vuestra disposición su página de facebook.






After the 2012 release of Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus on double 10” vinyl, the Dutch master of all things nightmare Gnaw Their Tongues returns to Consouling Sounds for the vinyl release of his brand new offering Hymns For The Broken, Swollen and Silent. The new album shows Gnaw Their Tongues at the top of its game. The band started out as a studio project, but has recently started performing live, and it feels like this carefully found its way into the music. Don’t get us wrong: oppressive, bleak and claustrophobic remain the key words when describing the unique output of this drone/noise/black metal infused miscreant of Mories. The music grabs you by the throat and sucks all the air out of the room. Although it leaves little more than an anaerobe environment, the music itself feels likes it has been breathing and organically growing into this true beast of an album. Brace for impact on Friday December 9th.

The album will be available on vinyl through Consouling Sounds and on cassette through Tartarus Records.

Edition of 300 copies on solid white vinyl.

DÉLIRANT


Nueva one man band de procedencia alicantina con D.B. al frente perteneciente al combo de más recorrido Negativa. En cuanto a este primer lanzamiento en formato larga duración incluye cuatro temas de una extensión nada desdeñable en donde si uno le presta atención y esta familiarizado con sonidos black del Portugal puede llegar a descubrir ciertas reminiscencias, ambiente oscuro y asfixiante, con un sonido más claro, pero sin abandonar del todo cierta crudeza. Y es que estamos ante una obra personal en donde la densidad de la música logra calar en oyente creando un muro de sonido que juega con un trasfondo melódico y sensaciones de terror y oscuridad. El álbum ha sido autoeditado en digital y está disponible para su escucha en su página de bandcamp y así mismo cuenta con una edición en cassette a manos de Mystískaos, subsello de Fallen Empire que ya cuenta con distribución propia, sin olvidarnos por supuesto del facebook de Délirant para estr al tanto de todas la novedades de este proyecto.





Limited release of 300.
