ISOLATION DER ESSENZ (2010)

Todo aquel que haya podido acercarse de alguna manera a la obra de Moloch ya sabrá como se las gasta Pr. Sergiy Fjordsson. Su música se sumerge en una sucesión de pasajes instrumentales y ambientales, brevemente interrumpidos en algunos momentos por algún arrebato de black metal que despierta al oyente un tanto del sopor. "Issolation der Essenz" es una obra contemplativa, triste, fría, de desarraigo, melancólica y oscura, como un frío día nevado de invierno. Partes atmosféricas campan a sus anchas por este álbum, predominio de las guitarras distorsionadas con una batería en segundo plano y demostrando esto que Fjsorsson es todo un multiinstrumentista cuidando todo el plano musical, especialmente las partes de piano que son de bella factura. Prácticamente no hay partes metalicas en esta trabajo y se limitan casi únicamente al penúltimo tema "Das Leben ist wie ein verwundeter Vogel der langsam vom Himmel fällt " con una voz heladora más próxima al black depresivo junto con el tercer tema "Die letzten Strahlen der Sonne verblassen in der Kälte der Apathie" de temática similar. El tema que cierra el álbum y que de título a este álbum es una extensa canción en donde Sergiy Fjordsson da rienda suelta a su repertorio más ambiental. Un trabajo demasiado monótono y continuista que no acaba de enganchar del todo. (7,3).

1. Depressive Visionen eines sterbenden Horizonts 06:11

  I don't want to feel this eternal pain anymore,

My thoughts like the blades run into the flesh,

leaving hundreds of cuts...

My life like a wounded bird is slowly falling down,

Where the dead trees are all around... Dead cold ground...

My tears are mixed with the blood of the wounded body...

The cries die out like an echo in the grey mountains...

The last rays of sun are fading in the coldness of apathy...

Only in its own thoughts the mankind sees the hope for life.

Melting like an ice... Life...

Death... will bring the silence.

Absurdity of existence - as the part of life...

Empty people are surrounding me, 

each one is hauling his own yoke.

I see only faceless bodies...captured by self-denial.

I feel the selfness of Skuld... captured by estrangement.

Noose on the neck will become the last border...

2. Wenn der Herbsthimmel ergraut ist 03:55  instrumental

3. Die letzten Strahlen der Sonne verblassen in der Kälte der Apathie 07:40

The cold penetrates to the bones, In the prison of self-denial. The pain and fever become like your essence... Muted cries of despair Disappear with an echo in the crystally dead branches of the forest. Hardly feeling my own body, The eyes are directed towards horizon, Where the dead snowy ground Merges with the cold silvery-mercurial sky. Human's existence, like the ghostly dream of winter, Day by day drying the planet with the cold. Among the coldness of the space - Another piece of the dead universe...   

4. Ferne Wälder gehen im tiefen Herbstnebel verloren 03:31  instrumental

5. Das Leben ist wie ein verwundeter Vogel der langsam vom Himmel fällt 03:53

Snow and pain have intertwined into sole horror, in the eternal cold, tormented, dead. In the empty eyes of future we will not see anything but sorrow, that will stay with us day-by-day like a shadow.. Like the noise muffling the cries of despair all around. Like a silence.. that is in my soul.. I want to sense how the winter will feel, when the ground will take my body. I want to hear the sound of the wind, when the silence will come to me forever. I want to cry out of pain.. out of pain.. When the apathy will become my essence.  

6. Isolation der Essenz 25:41  instrumental

SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA - INTERVIEW

SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA create warlike Black Metal Chaos with strong martial and militant inclinations.

Purveyors of existential Nonbelief, the ominous SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA channel the Great External Chaos and the Sinister Acausal Energy to create Traditional Satanic Black Metal. Their inspired musical creations are presented in the guise of extreme, militant Black Metal, performed with a conviction and a passion that frequently transcends the mundane realm to lurk upon the threshold of Gnosis. Hir who has ears to hear ought to listen...

Via their warlike Devil's music SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA expresses its diabolic hatred of humanity, its hatred of the enemies of the Blood, and its hatred of all pro-cosmic slave creations. SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA is a Non-cosmic entity forever becoming unto Death, by way of Diabolic Gnosticism.

SANGUINRY MISANTHROPIA's core creed is: 'One commandment only: thou shalt not believe in that which does not make thee stronger. Actively seek to challenge Belief and Faith in All Things.'

SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA is come to send holocaustic Fire upon the Earth, by the unconquerable Fyrfos and the Seven-Pointed Star -Fyrphosphorosophia!

FACEBOOK QUOTE

1. How were the early Sanguinary Misanthropia Why decided to form the band? 

We were primarily inspired by a combination of the sinister energy of Nietzsche’s philosophy combined with the militant individualism and Traditional Satanism of the Order of Nine Angles. Sanguinary Misanthropia was formed to convey the antihuman hatred of the supreme misanthropic entity, known in this mundane realm as the Devil. We are fascinated with the great mystery of Death, especially its role in evolution and existential thought.

2 . Your first release dates back to 2007 and is the demo " Of Death and Genocide " and over the years have kept the rate of more or less regular publications until " Loathe over Will ," How has the evolution of the group throughout these years what differences can be found between your first demo regarding your last album ? 

Thus far it has been difficult to compare our works to each other as we have worked with different line ups and combinations of blood cult members for each of the recording periods. Our unorthodox method of writing has created avant-garde Devil’s music. In 2013 we finished recording the material for the ‘Radiant Death’ EP with the same unholy trinity that recorded ‘Loathe over Will’, which offers the first glimpse of a continuation and advancement of our sound. Comparisons and conclusions can be drawn by external observers if necessary (and as is the wont of people), however, we posit that we continue to evolve and move from strength to strength –for any artist to suggest or act otherwise is utterly disingenuous and detestable.

3. How is your way to work to compose and record a job as " Loathe over Will" ? 

For the greater part our recording and compositional undertakings shall remain a mystery. We regard the recording and mixing process as a down-going, whence the thriving Life Blood of our creation is being endlessly crystallised. ‘Loathe over Will’, alike most of our recordings, was the culmination of a marriage of inspired writings and diabolical musical arrangements. The pieces on ‘Loathe over Will’ exude a chaotic dissonance because the music was written to bolster and support strange lyrics. Despite being arcane and intense, the experience throughout the recording of ‘Loathe over Will’ was somewhat stifling, as we had to employ various uncommitted outsiders to assist in the channelling of our sinister Will. For our upcoming release, and the second album proper, we have resolved the issues we had with sub/humans whilst partaking of the ‘Loathe over Will’ ritual.

4. What bands are your main influence when composing for Sanguinary Misanthropia ? 

Our compositions are a wo/manifestation of our sinister ritual workings. We do not consciously draw musical inspiration from others, however, some of the bands that are of interest to us currently include: Archgoat, Axis of Advance, Bathory, Beherit, Bestial Raids, Blasphemy, Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost, Diocletian, Infernal Execrator, Morbid Angel, Nechbeyth, Sarcofago, Vassafor, and Wrathprayer. Thus far our Warlike Black Metal Chaos has emanated forth as an impious synthesis of Australian War Metal and the Orthodox Satanic Black Metal of Europe. We intend to bring more of a deathly tinge to our sound in the future as our music grows and evolves.

5 . There are aspects in your very interesting lyrics , such as the Gnostic Chaos , and Blood Mysticism What aspects important to consider when writing your texts ?

Our lyrics revolve around apocalyptic and apocryphal concepts, with attention focusing on the central concept of purifying one’s Blood of sub/humanity. Many staid old occult traditions have focused on uncovering the divinity of sub/humankind by ignoring the bestial, base and animalistic aspects of the creature, and instead focusing on a disembodied spiritual part of man. We have devoted our warlike efforts to wholeheartedly embracing, imbibing and shedding the Blood to reveal the revelations of divinity therein. We have come to know of the numinosity of the Blood by hunting down the mundane bestial entity, then ritualistically copulating with it and sacrificing it. We have revered the sinister bestial portion of ourselves, The Great Beast and its unclean revelations. We have come to venerate the contradictions, hypocrisy and chaos inherent in the sub/human condition –verily, it is only through the communion with the bestial that one comes to know anything of divinity, love of Wisdom, or Chaos A/Gnosis. Chaos A/Gnosis has been achieved through excesses in our lives –excess in deprivation, libations, ritual meditations, physical exertion etc. Chaos A/Gnosis has revealed unto us the great mystery and paradox of Unbelief!

Swastika worship has been a key for us to understand the mysteries of the Blood. It has also served the function of exposing those who ignorantly try to use Black Metal for worthless political purposes. As a movement we have been denounced and falsely branded as being racists because of our willingness to share this fundamental aspect of Blood Mysticism and Unbelief. Pathological aversion to this powerful symbol reveals corruption of one’s soul! That being said, we overestimated the general intelligence of the masses and their ‘will to question’. We have misjudged the effects of indoctrination on people generally, which impinges upon their ability to discern, discriminate and challenge their Beliefs.

We describe our sinister spiritual path as being Diabolic Gnosticism, which has primarily evolved from teachings of the Order of Nine Angles, Temple of the Black Light, and Gnostic and heretical Christianity. Sanguinary Misanthropia is Devil’s music first and foremost, with a focus on the Chaos-Sex-Death triune. Come to know this!

6. The taste for Scandinavian classic black and raw sound is very clear , how do you see the current black scene with respect to a couple of decades ago ? Dinos five cds on your point of view within the black essential metal? 

One could compare ‘Loathe Over Will’ to releases by Arkhon Infaustus, Destroyer666, Ondskapt, Ofermod, Marduk, Mayhem and Funeral Mist. We do not deign the black metal scene to be worthy of comment. We hate the culture and posturing that accompanies this style of music and, as such, we do not believe any black, death, or war metal albums should be considered essential (remember the existential creed ‘existence precedes essence’)… Each new release should aspire to supersede the efforts of the past. Our upcoming EP, Radiant Death, will reveal a marked evolution in our overall sound, and will offer a glimpse into the bestial and deathly direction of our second album proper.

7. Inside the black Australian scene , what bands you recommend ? Tell a bit like black is the scene in your country? 

True to our name, we are not involved with a scene in Australia. We are outsiders to the machinations of the all-too-sub/humans that validate themselves in such a way. There are some decent bands from Australia including Abominator, Adamus Exul, Altars of Sin, Bestial Warlust, Decrepit Soul, Destroyer 666, Erebus Enthroned, Impetuous Ritual, Portal and Urgrund.

8. Are you satisfied with the effect you have achieved with " Loathe over Will ?" How have results the concerts offered to date for presentation of the album ? 

‘Loathe over Will’ has been well received worldwide. This world is rife with religious and other ideological wars. The hatred of one’s enemies has been denied and repressed for too long, and it is beginning to re-emerge in utterly depraved ways. This gives some credence to the Crowley’s prophecies of the Aeon of Horus, in which context the idea of ‘Loathe over Will’ belongs. In spreading our Satanic hate propaganda we have ironically been the target of the ire of anti-hate groups. In spite of such opposition we have scorched our part of the world with a blaze of hatred!

9. Who designed the cover of "Loathe over Will" how is it related to the music and lyrics to " Loathe over Will" ? 

The iconography that adorns  ‘Loathe Over Will’ compliments the concepts of the lyrics, especially the apocalyptic, militant and bloody aspects of the imagery. Many of the pieces were designed by Sanguinary Misanthropia and compiled by Supremacy Through Intolerance. The main figure on the front cover was designed by the SM Blood Cult and manifested by Hellish Depravarts of Mexico. STI put us in contact with this very worthy artist. This deathly Baphometic figure is a visual representation and hybrid of the antigod-forms intimated at throughout the album. Aspects of Kali were also adapted to complete this strange wo/manifestation, as were ideas generated from contemplation of the ONA’s Sinister Tarot and the Septenary Tree of Wyrd.

10. Something that does not yet have you done a split, do you have in mind in the future to make a release of this type ? Well be that band you like to do it ? 

We are working on a split with our diabolical brothers of the Blood Vobiscum Inferni. We are honoured to be conjoined in such a significant release with such a worthy horde. This most unholy union was begotten by a mutual understanding of Death worship and diabolism. Vobiscum Inferni have served as an inspiration unto Sanguinary Misanthropia with their intense devotion and dedication unto Death and their deep occult knowledge.   

We are also forging another allegiance with a long-time SM ally and collaborator based in Australia, who at this point shall remain unnamed.

11. Supremacy Through Intolerance , is responsible for the publication of this paper , how the opportunity arose to work with them ? Estaás satisfied with the work done by the seal? 

Unfortunately Supremacy Through Intolerance is no longer extant. The pact and allegiance with STI was sufficient to further spread the whorl of hatred which is Sanguinary Misanthropia over continental Europe, and bring our blasphemous words into the forefront of the collective consciousness.

12. What future plans do you have for the band, upcoming releases, conicertos , etc: . 

We currently have a pending release with Devils Mouth Productions and Blood War Records from Mexico, the aforementioned ‘Radiant Death’ EP, as well as a reissue of ‘Loathe over Will’ on the Brazilian label Soul Erazer Distribution. We have also composed a large portion of our second album, ‘Holocaustic Abominations’. We are going through a period of dehumanisation and hence we are not intending to perform live in the foreseeable future. This situation may change as our second album emerges.

13 . Thank you very much for taking the time to Black Metal Spirit , if you want to add something for the followers of Sanguinary Misanthropia , this is the place . I hope the questions are to your liking .

Reaction is the pallid shadow of action -remember! Those that are in opposition are unfit for the great existential struggle against Faith and Belief in All Things!

Many thanks for conducting this interview and your support of our unholy Warlike Black Metal Chaos.

DESCENDER (2013)  

No resulta sencillo encerrar en un solo termino el amplio abanico de géneros y emociones que encierra "Desecender" y sobre todo sería del todo injusto. Este es un álbum que en un primer momento no resulta atractivo hacia el oyente, otro grupo que se enreda en el post-metal y se refugia en el black para ganar adeptos, pero todas estas sensaciones de difuminan al poco que empieza a sonar Aten, el primer tema del álbum. Esto no es black metal ortodoxo, no nos vamos tampoco a engañar, pero destila frialdad y oscuridad como el que más. El álbum avanza y no deja de sorprenderte con su tremenda base rítmica, unas guitarras brutales y la voz de Marco desgarradora y brutal. El sentimiento es frío, depresivo y triste, algo complicado de conseguir en este tipo de bandas, pero es que ellos no le dan la espalda a partes más lentas, incluso voces limpias que le sientan brutales al disco. No es un disco que entre a la primera, pero tiene detalles increibles para ir descubriendo poco a poco en sucesivas escuchas. El post-metal es el elemento que mejor define a "Descender, pero se les escapa un black nórdico por cada nota. Un disco muy recomendable de una banda que ha parido un álbum muy bueno. (8,8).

AVGRUNNENS KLANGVERK 2013

La cuarta demo de los noruegos esta compuesta de tres temas, bueno una intro y dos temas, desde el comienzo su música te atrapa, bien sea por su sonido extraño, bien sea por su tristeza o quizás porque realmente no te creas que esta banda procede de Nouega ya que su sonido esta más acorde con las nuevas propuestas del black estadounidense, lo que queda claro es que estamos ante una demo destacable. Destacable porque han sabido pulir los excesos de pasadas obras y su música se deja experimentos innecesarios y va directa al grano. Asistir a la audición de "Avgrunnens Klangverk" es sumergirse en el más crudo y brutal black metal al mismo tiempo que apreciar los medios tiempos y la experimentación de ambientes funerarios y tristes. Porque la ambientación de esta demo tiene un peso importantes en el resultado final, todo destila podredumbre y tristeza, su edición parece obra de una mente perturbada y torturada. La producción va dirigida a apreciar la primera toma de la grabación, con las suciedad de sonido para añadir un toque más underground. Una demo que te atrapa con sus pasajes hipnóticos y que muestra a una banda de alto nivel. (8,7).

WITCHER - INTERVIEW

Witcher was created in 2010, why they decided to create the band at that time? How were the beginning of Witcher?

The idea of Witcher conceived in us when Karola and I played in the band Trollheimen, around the year 2007. We had many common favorites - including Summoning and Nocturnal Mortum - so we decided that someday we materialize a heavily synthesizer oriented project involved the true spirit of black metal. However, the plan was put on ice for a long time to gather enough experience of  working in home studio, and to get all the necessary instruments and supplies, needed for home music-making. For it was a decidedatthe beginning, that the Witcher will woek only in duo formatian, as a studio project, and this we don’t want to change. Because behind both of us stands many years of musical history, the first songs came togethervery quickly, and in 2010 the first demo was easily done, since then we try to develop in both technical areas and in musical knowledge too.

Since the creation of Witcher have been offering new material regularly to reach your last work " Boszorkanytanc ", published last year , how has evolved the sound of the band over the years? How would you describe the sound of Witcher for I still do not know who ?

The first album, called Boszorkánytánc (Witchdance) is the remastered version of the second demo, so there are not much change or development, unlike in the case of "Néma Gyász" EP, which is miles better in sound and in songs. However officially we are only four years active, but I feel that we evolved in a lot of things! Thanks to our home studio I could represent better quality, but I try to develope in playing and inwriting too. Karola doesn’t need to this, because she is a gradusate musician, she could play any classical music awakened from sleep. Many people asked us how do we characterize the Witcher's style, which is not an easy task, because in base case there is about symphonic black metal, but since this phrase everyone thinks to Dimmu Borgir and others – who otherwise we like too, but our effects can be found in more classic black metal – so we used to call our style atmospheric black metal. Due to the excessive synth using a lot of people did not even listen to our music, although if we take away the keyboard, the end result would be pure black metal.

.

How was the process of writing and recording of " Boszorkanytanc " ? Both bring ideas to the composition or the criterion of one of you wins ?

The songs of "Witchdance" came together very quickly, many topics have already existed at the time of the first demo, so we can actually just put them together, add text to them and that’s all. The studio also went smoothly, we enjoy playing our songs, so if there are no technical problems, they usually go their way, because we practice a lot before the recordings. The song writing is generally that Karola dreams - sometimes literally - the melodies and themes that she make tabs into a book, and when ther are enough collected, we go away somewhere and knead them into finished songs. In the meantime, I have put together in my mind the rhythms and guitars too. Of course there is, when I come up with a guitar theme, and even the choruses I write - the lyrics are absolute mine - but generally everything goes very easy. Of course we do not hurry, because there is a certain level of quality, which is always given. We only use those items that are catchy and sufficiently strong.

Your music takes the listener to the solitude and darkness of the depths of a cold winter forest, also not free from certain doses of paganism , what sensations are intended to convey with his music in the listener ?

I think in these few words are perfectly summarized what does Witcher means to us. With the songs we are able to release the stress and negative things in us, that is why they are not very cheerful, although we have already militant songs too, but they also lurks in the background melancholic, which is found in our music from the beginning. I don’t know that the loneliness how much is hearful, but in the lyrics is a recurring monument - among other things - because I don’t want to the listeners only empy words but meaningful thoughts, maybe some help, some wise words to suggest. Otherwise, these moods are never forced, simply that is what comes out from us. If there borns any "fun" tune in mind when it played, the end result will be always melancholic.

Your sound reminded me of the Basque band Elffor , not if you know anything about this group , but I guess your influences come from elsewhere , what bands inspire Witcher sound ?

Although, I am a fanatic underground metal collector, unfortunately Elffor is avoided my attention, so unfortunately I can not say anything about the comparison. I am glad, that you not compare our music to Dimmu Borgir you like us, because a lot of ignorant people compare everything to them who uses sythnetizers. Most people do not really know where to put us, because as I mentioned, there classical music mixed with black metal. What bands have influenced us? I'll be honest, we are record collectors with Karola, in every month we hear about a dozen new band, so whatever we listen, probably have an impact on us, but most living situations inspire us instead of bands. We like almost the same music - Falkenbach, Summoning and perhaps Nokturnal Mortum - but I’m obsessed fan of traditional black metal music - Burzum is the etalon – she likes classical music, we love death , thrash and heavy metal, grindcore and hardcore too. Recently, for example, both of us were impressed the new Falkenbach and the last Denial of God! Masterpieces all!

How is the black metal scene in Hungary? Is it very difficult for a band like yours become known outside their country?

I think that perhaps never was so healthy the Hungarian black metal scene as in nowadays. Although obviously there are deficiencies, but as a few years ago was typical idiocy is ereased too, so the bands now help each other more, although it's certainly not always country wide, rather regional. We're also working on to cultivate a good relationship with many bands, including Solus, Sinful Eternity or Velm, but we bow to all who have put down something on the table and who is fighting for togetherness. There are many good black metal bands in Hungary - it is difficult to list them - and there are at least five active fanzine and 10 smaller or larger records labels, so I feel there is no reason to complain. Answering to the other part of your question, I think that anyone who is serious in this scene, is not just cries, but does something, so can still open the road to the world, and it is not only in Hungary but also in other nations where the bands take it seriously and truly. Although we are on the Web too, which makes the position of the bands better, but honestly I prefer to post the demos, make connections, trade, so I try to spread our name, and I believe - although it's not cheap –that is more successful in the long run, beacuse the band has a label, all the continents of the world has reached our material, and we get a lot of good reviews, and messages often from such people and places that even I was surprised. So I think it does not matter where are you from in the underground can spread the band 's name. For this, need to know and cooperate, instead of crying behind the four walls!

What refers album title " Boszorkanytanc ?" Is there a conceptual story behind the album?

There is no underlying content behind the name "Witchdance" simply this title was the best for the album and it is also the title of one song. Concept does not have too, unless that in every song recurring monument is loneliness, passing and more.

Is it possible to eventually offer a concert?

We have already talked about this with Karola, because some years we've been intensely concerts as an other band’s members, but we decided that we do not force this topic. On the one hand I think the Witcher music is not for concert, on the other hand I don’t want to to play to drunken and idiots. It would also be big problem to set the stage, we need at least two other synth, two guitarist and a drummer, although there would be assigned to each post, none of us want this. If we stand Witcher on stage, we don’t wat to play on every weekend, but for special occasions, these actions would be like a real ritual.

Who designed the cover of " Boszorkanytanc " and what refers?

The "Witchdance" album cover was made by Simon Krisztián, the head of Hungaryan Records, he helped us a lot in the past in graphic works, distribution, but as the first Witcher t-shirt is also can be thank for him. I know him for thousands years, we are very good friends, and I respect him for his work. There is not much to tell, the Witchdance is an abstract interpretation.

How were your beginnings in music and why you decided to become musicians?

I personally met the metal music in the nineties, does to my uncle who has actually listened to music since of my birth, like Slayer, Megadeth, Metal Church. I also became interested, first heavy metal, and at last black and death metal came the closest to me, but my musical taste is so colorful, that I listen to almost everything, which has a distorted guitar and is some metal. I wanted to be a musician since the beginning. I'll never forget when I could see my uncle's VHS tapes, first Iron Maiden. It caught me, I decided, one day I would want to do this. First, I wanted to be a singer, then in my first I became guitar player, but in the first serious bands I played drums. Today, to stand on a stage does not move me, in fact, I prefer to bulit  something that other people may like, I mean to sit down to play the guitar, and breed a song, which later can mean the same thing to someone else like me. To speak in the name of Karola, how she met the music, she comes from a musical family, so she wanted to be a  musician since her childhood, so we could say, that the most natural thing in the world to her, to sit down to practice and write songs.

How did the opportunity to work with the Russian label Nihil Art Records? Satisfied with the work done in terms of promotion by the label? Will you continue working in the future?

Sergey, the head of Nihil Art Records looked after me through my fanzine, because he wanted me to write about his publications. I got the opportunity, and for his kindness I sent him a copy from our demos. He liked Witcher very much, so suggested that he makes factory CD with professional cover. I don’t have to say, we were very happy we lived with the possibillity, so a few months later, we could have it in our hands. Overall I am maximally satisfied with it, because a lot of places can be reached the cd, he sent me a correct amount of complimentary copy, and the most important to me, he kept his promises. I note that to release helped the Dark East Productions’s head Oleg, who is also a very good friend of mine. Two of them, I believe are two prominent figures of the Russian underground movement, who help to underground bands. I 'd be the happiest, if the co-operation would remain for future with the Nihil Art Records, as well as with the Dark East Productions. They will release my other band’s (Vrag) first issue too it seems that this will go on.

What plans do you have for the immediate future Witcher?

Now there stands extremely busy months behind Witcher, which might has a tangible results soon. First half of 2013 we wrote our second full album, with five songs, an intro and a cover version of a classic work. The recent months passed with practicing and recording, and now the music is completely finished, all that remains is the vocal, and if I'm right, thanks to our Russian friends maybe this year it will appear in its final version. There are no further plans yet, some splits with other bands came in word, but now we focus only to our second album.

Thank you very much for taking the time to Black Metal Spirit , if you want to add something for the followers of Witcher , this is the place . I hope the questions are to your liking

THYMIAMA MANNAN (2014)   

Han dejado atrás sus comienzos death, thrash y solo Athan como miembros de la formación original allá por el 2004 y ciertamente han sabido reciclarse y ofrecer un trabajo de black rápido, melódico y oscuro de calidad, uno más que sale de la escena Griega. Este Thymiama Mannan tiene una fuerte influencia del sonido black sueco de los años noventa, la música es brutal, los blast beat son atronadores y las guitarras se enredan en riffs imposibles, hay también un gusto por las melodías y no descuidan las partes más pausadas en ciertos momentos que permiten coger aire para la próxima embestida. The Cloven Hoof realiza un soberbio trabajo a las voces, de tendencia cruda y brutal la mayor parte del tiempo, pero lo suficientemente dinámica para adaptarse a las partes más lentas de su música y ofrecer algo diferente. La atmósfera que desprende este álbum es del todo inquietante e insana, con un pronunciado gusto por el esoterismo. Una producción cuidada permite disfrutar de todo el despliegue de instrumentación del que hacen gala para ofrecer un trabajo a tener muy en cuenta. (8,8).

  Thymiama! Mannan!

On forth the abyss

Enemy.. The Enemy is 2

White light is mercy

I am trying to let go…

EGO instituo Magus permaneo nox noctis. 

Ut videlicet ut EGO animadverto vos iam. 

Nos sermo. Quod nos infero!

Κλῦθί μευ, ὃς πάντων θνητῶν οἴηκα κρατύνεις πᾶσι διδοὺς † χρόνον ἁγνόν †, ὅσων † πόρρωθ᾽ ὑπάρχεις• σὸς γὰρ ὕπνος ψυχῆς θραύει καὶ σώματος ὁλκόν,

Thy sleep perpetual bursts

By which the soul, attracting body holds!

2. Final Nights 05:24

As I enter the temple of shapes Image turns upside down All I did was to enter Now they move by themselves Inverted Saint ignites Cremation of the Final Nights There is no room for faith in my world I burn, burn and burn them all Nimbus inverted with legs to the sky Not sacrifice but murder As they burn, they have a voice They talk to the floor. My faith for yours! Inverted life, Inverted world In the end I start nothing more Rise round snake Nobody speaks your tongue You burn my future truths In a parallel of my brain I stare at what I've done Invinsible, electrified A work of art-to hang a man I now grow out of my body One is copper Two is gold Three is murder Four ist tott Five for wisdom Six for serpents Seven is for excrements Eight is circle Nine is fuck Ten I carve the name of god VENGEANCE As I enter the temple of shapes Image turns upside down All I did was to enter Now they move by themselves Inverted Saint ignites Cremation of the Final Nights There's plenty of room for ash in my world I burn, burn and burn them all Nimbus inverted with legs to the sky Not sacrifice but murder Ashes to ashes, they yet have a voice They talk to the earth. My faith beats yours! Inverted life, Inverted world In the end I start nothing more. Rise round snake Nobody speaks your tongue You burn my future truths In a parallel of my brain I stare at what I've done Invinsible, electrified A work of art-to hang a man I still grow out of my body

3. Rape Magic 06:23

The ritual begins in darkness

Today the task is great. Must hold..

Not from without but from within

The first sign is here. I don’t recognize the mirror

Provoke me father for I have reached the unknown

This altar shapes the affairs of the world

Not human. The eyes in the mirror. 

By will- I am air. I am thy breath.

Thousands die in the process.

The books spoke of this. What they didn’t say

Is that I can do anything. Master forgive me.

So I burn all these books. Their time has come.

No need for stories. I have risen beyond.

Let the black spell fall upon my enemies

May they die in life and in spirit

Their seed!. wiped out from the earth

As if -they were- never born 

Moving on. His presence speaks! 

Time to shape the fate of the world.

The Books spoke of this. What they didn’t say

Is that I can do anything. Master forgive me.

The new arrival crushes the memory of the old days

Isn’t that always the case…

The honour to be part of the living mist

I can feel it in my lungs It’s here from bellow.

Each time a part of me dies

I can feel the eyes in my head

We are merged.

I have reached you. Beyond the devil

4. Bloodsong 05:17

THE BLOOD SONG! ...and when the angel cursed me and I gazed at the burning light of the sun then my eyes blocked all the senses And they both run red with blood So I took a chalice and I drank every last drop from this cup And me and God grew far appart Since God drank urine and I drank blood "He that believeth in me as the scripture hath said"! "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" Somebody got it wrong why they can't understand? Communion with the desert God needs urine and sand! I look around me now And I see I am awake I open myself to the night But I need less light! So I go underground and I test the limits of the blackest sky Even there something flickered And satisfaction was unreal… Follow the song of the blood Not ONE of you will understand! The song of the blood

5. Temple of Absinth 06:48

I search for myself and find me in absinth walls Pale illusions Pale convictions. Dance away and fly away little creature Pray I don't find you in time. I want this. Time is illusion... I am illusion... To rape your flesh and tear out your wings Run and hide. Your beauty is mine. The Cult of flesh! We are blood! Poison and wisdom are one! The Temple made from absinth tears Feeds on judgement, memories, and fears I drown my will in toxic sips All creatures of beauty must die This is a warning to all who approach me even if they mean good or ill I care not for thy purpose I just rape beauty and dreams A curse of fear to all who listen The fairy mother is mangled in thorns Beauty sets my kind astray And thus the murders begin today Life is illusion… Thirst! Dried poison on wet throat I give my life to the temple of flesh raped and hanged she begged for death But noone listened... I am the specimen of the golden age I am the future And I am coming 

6. Silver Tongue Devil 07:20

 By the wings of creation! 

Through the vastness of bottomless seas! 

Here she comes sawing her seeds! 

As she whispers her orders in dreams! 

By the wish of the prophet! 

And the horns of atavist fiends! 

Shades of dawn and fools run! 

As they pray for the fall of the sun! 

Higher! Blood! 

And I offered her neck to god 

The end! The end! 

And the heart I keep for myself! 

What lightens, darkens 

By the godhead that rises in man 

The Blood path. Is Ageless. 

But faith eludes in Faustian faces! 

Higher! Blood! 

And I offered her neck to god 

The end! The end! 

And the heart I keep for myself! 

In the essence of the yellow 

Broken and undone 

She smiled at me 

As the devil smiles in heaven 

And the martyrs of the spirit 

Scan the horizon 

They seek the one 

As He hides in darkness 

I confess It seems to me 

The broken angel she must be 

And My fears come forth 

As The devil wins back his child x2 

We forever shall reign 

In the kingdom of souls 

Only death can rend the veil 

And it shall please the eternal God of the void 

Behold! The past authority gives leave. The circle rises. 

The mark I sign. The eternal mark. 

It is done. 

7. Extremity Unbound 01:56

No peace... The New Bible will come Between insence and bullets Cutting rapidly through the age of schizophrenia I declare this, by blackest sun: Knights and fools aren't we all?

BEHOLD THE SON OF PLAGUES (2014)  

Nueva banda de black metal de la siempre interesante y productiva escena black helena. Sonido fuertemente influenciado por el black escandinavo pero llevado a su terreno, con aspectos por pulir como puede ser una mayor continuidad en su música, por momentos suenan un poco dispersos pero que arroja un resultado final convincente. Su música no deja de ser compleja y al mismo tiempo emotiva y han sabido conseguir una producción equilibrada entre como debe de sonar una banda de black metal pero sin descuidar las partes más técnicas y complejas. No deja de ser un álbum variado con un fuerte gusto por los ritmos rápidos y brutales, una batería a todo trapo y unos riffs de guitarra rabiosos y rápidos, sin descuidar la épica en ciertos momentos, al mismo tiempo que no dudan en bajar el ritmo para no resultar tan cargantes y ofrecer partes más relajadas, en donde el aspecto vocal incluso se vuelve más intimista y atmosférico. Una banda con un enorme potencial, que en su corta trayectoria han sabido ofrecer un buen trabajo de black metal con aire de clásico. (8,5).

UNDER THE SIGN OF THE BLACK SUN (2014)  

La segunda parte de este split corre a cuenta de la banda de ambient, folk pagan Perunwit, de dilatada carrera y en donde Aro ejerce una vez más de líder. Creo que los cinco temas que aporta Perunwit, a pesar de la banda más veterana de este compartido, están en sería relación con lo ofrecido anteriormente por Raus!. Un sonido muy ambiental con fuertes connotaciones paganas, de orientación también bélica y patriota pero en este caso más medieval. Aro introduce elementos ambientales en su música, incorpora instrumentación folk e incluso se atreve con alguna parte de samples, todo ello para lograr un ambiente inquietante pero que no acaba de conectar del todo con el oyente, le falta alma a su música, resulta un tanto vacía. Supongo que una banda con esta trayectoria se le debería de exigir algo más y Perunwit se limita a repetir el camino ya señalado por Raus!. (7,2).
