HERMETICUM (1998)

Creo que jamás se le hará justicia a Fernando Ribeiro dentro de la escena y solo se le rendirá un sentido homenaje cuando falte y es que este hombre no sólo saco adelante a Moonspell como referente en una primera época del black metal luso traspasando las fronteras de su pais, sino que los reinventó y los sigue teniendo activos y en liza una porrada de años después, otra cosa es que haya abandonado sus inicios más black por otros más gótico, pero bueno cada uno es libre de juzgar su obra. Pero lo que no me explico es que por la época en la cual embaucó al resto de la formación de Moonspell en este proyecto, muy similar en esencia a la banda original, y no tiró por algo tan sencillo como que este álbum saliera bajo la banda de origen, tendría sus motivos. Daemonarch fué banda de un solo álbum, un álbum inspirado en los estudios que Fernando realizó en su adolescencia del satanismo. En cuanto a sonido, si que creo que se sitúa en esa etapa intermedia de la banda, su sonido es muy black y Fernando lo borda a las voces, pero si que es cierto que comienzan a intuirse ciertos cambios en forma de arreglos sinfónicos y ciertas melodías de guitarra que marcarían el futuro de Moonspell. "Hermeticum " es un pedazo de álbum en toda regla, un álbum con una ambientación tremendamente oscura y fría, con una gran musicalidad que presenta un combo bien engrasado en pleno proceso de evolución y si todo esto no fuera suficiente se sacan de la manga la revisión del tema "Call from the Grave " de Bathory. (8,8).

1. Lex Talionis 05:32  

Rising above the searching of love visions

I felt this darkness resist

Nailing a thousand nazarenes

Screaming through your thousand faces

Robed in black

For this ritual madness

The demons of the heart

I have learned to obey

War is declared

Spread everywhere

Awaken from the slumber

Where can I hide

Screaming he dies

Past the light

Of a god sent

To a world of the night

For knowledge, I the demons ride

2. Of a Thousand Young 04:27

 I am with you and I die

I will leave you and I will fight

Wrapped around a perfect ???

The entity that you feast and worship

The entity you cannot feel in disguise

Lost cries in your ???

???

Take my soul and my watcher

Thousands of young

Waiting for the revelation

And grow in me

To bow the weapon

As my nightmare

Fire won't stop

Guilt is growing

To bow no one

And bow together

For the new angel

Bow together

For the new angel

And bow to me

By my will

Shub-Niggurath

Of a thousand young

All we're good for

Supress it inside

Learn together

To serve the dark aeon

Lost forever

As we fall

The great vagina of the worlds

Holy Mary and all the children

They lost their power

Bow down to the spawn of the unkind

The raped vagina of this world

Resists the sex of a thousand young

Bloody angles I behold

Angles' feathers mixed with blood

I am what I am

And to the angles I speak

Unto the only ones who know

The only faces of the demon

By whose will

This world has come so far?

Learn together

To serve the dark aeon

Lost forever

As we fall

3. Corpus Hermeticum 04:51

My heart will become our shelter

Now that you turn my hands

To the livings worlds

And my fears grovel with the dark

As the seal, I'm in disguise

Saniyaza

I wear the bowel and there's my face

I look down

And I fear

Down on my hands of fornication

And the children speak

We'll be arised and touch the Earth

Without a crown

Raphael will be sent to burn the ground

To subcreate

We'll fornicate to a new time

Hurry almost done

And you will see through me again

I will say join hands and greet us

To wash him away in your silver light

Thus sever ??? on your grave

You cannot save yourself

I'll feel your fear

I'll die you follow

I win

You will not save

You will not save

You will not save your lives

I lose

Your lives

When all is done

The voice of the mute will announce the will

The blind will see again

When all is too dark to be seen

The deaf will listen

When all is too loud to be heard

Revelations to the world

To finally follow their guilty God's

I keep

The share

I fear

Intent

I lust

In pain

I hide

In sin

When all is done

You'll see my face again

To finally follow their guilty God's

4. Call from the Grave (Bathory cover) 04:37

God of Heaven, hear my cries

Of anguish, I'm in pain

I'm suffering a thousand deaths

But I live on in vain

Death would greet with eternal sleep

My soul would come to peace

My life has ceased, the time has come

Can no one hear my pleas?

Lowered down at the moisty ground

Into the dark and cold

My heartbeat is the only sound

Tears my limbs and soul

I scream for mercy, hear my cries

Lord, don't abandon me

I'm so tired

Grant me the eternal sleep

Buried and forgotten

In a cold and nameless grave

If death is what awaits me

I feel no fright

Buried and forgotten

In a cold and nameless grave

If there's a God in Heaven

Hear my call from the grave

5. Samyaza 04:27

Saniyaza, touch me

The powers watch upon

And I will invent for you a victim

Never concealed before

Sanyaza, your children grow

Will you ever be involved?

I draw your number in my heart

To acclaim my very prize

And in supper

You'll give birth to an angel

And from this small creature's

Each one of us will have a new try

And you'll try!

And in supper you'll give birth to an angel

And each one of us will have a new try

Sanyaza, your children grow

When did you get involved?

Arisen numbers in my heart

And foregain my very prize

Through her lips, those orders birth and rise

Rake problems, get them off, with the number of your days

Where's the old grievance, you'll get of the Lord of the poverty

Herald here in your service and bring to me the demon

When in supper Saniyaza will come

And present us the true lore

The true lore and the storm

And turn to it in my time

To kiss all that I here have behold

For we have finally achieved

What we always had

Glory

For his glory

Guilt is glory

6. Nine Angles 05:38

  Search the infinite

Begin at the end

On the first lies the infinite

Of the first springs to eternity

I'm the second one to tells his glory

A world of power raises in all his glory

Dessicate the messenger

The essence of all our knowledge

The forge is a weapon that may not sail

Through the shining of the night burn!

Every light has its flame

And all the world who will blame

For this number will reign on mercy

To the ones who ask in vain

Four is the number of the only one

One to persist, for me and you

Tears and desists the fall down on me

Seven is the perfect symmetry

Purge of the liberty, bear the blessed

And here I come, with the plethoral order

Learn the liberty, the voices sound

The nightshade

All bow down to the living worlds

And to ??? words

Five, six, seven, eight

Here are the verbs for you

Blood of nine, come shine on terror

On the changings of the magic world

Cannot tell the ??? innocent, here I am

Anarchy, heirachy, blood of death, blood of life

The Seven will bring us chaos and ruin

And the waken guards the truth

I'll succumb before your life is done

And I shall steal all the world

Search the infinite

Begin at the end

Blood of nine angles

7. Incubus 04:44

  Incubus

I wanna see your thousand wings

Open, closing, behind you

Open them all at once for me

Be prepared for what you see

I will die before

I will live untouched

Listen to my thousand tongues

Amplifiy it by a thousand screams

Speak them all at once for me

Be prepared for what you hear

I will die before

I will live untouched

Incubus, succumb to me

Succubus, incube with me

Incubus Succubus

There is an order

That will be a meaning

When you're discovered

You'll die with the lust, but we'll see

There is an order

That will be a meaning

Incubus spreads with your disease

Succubus under a mad reveal

There is much more than I really mean

There is so little to be a few

Succubus, oh fly with me

I wanna be your symmetry

Succubus, arise in me

I wanna be the apathy

Succubus, arise in me

I wanna touch in harmony

Succubus, oh come to me

I've got to feel the anarchy

Incubus, succumb to me

Want to see a thousand wings

Open, closing, behind you?

Open them all at once for me

Be prepared for what you see

Listen to my thousand tongues

Amplified by a thousand screams

Speak them all at once for me

Be prepared for what you hear

Incubus, succumb to me

Succubus, incube with me

Incubus Succubus

8. The Seventh Dæmonarch 06:17

  Burn!

Arisen by a silver sword

That lost its battle shine

As I walk into the gate

I left that world behind

My Father awakes me with his calls

Rotten, vile, human pride

Knowing better than I

With my arrival the Earth shall die

The legions scream, that was a day

My swords fell on them a thousand times

I was dealt with by fire

And with fire I shall depart

Left in the deep, my soul will

Always breath and feel in the deep

Arisen in my Father's womb

Life sustain me for his might

Flames are flames, they are to hurt

Flames still flames, they are to hurt

No one can ever imagine

His flames embrace all Earth and sky

But you are drowning in fire

Through our invisible hearts

I am immortal

I cannot die

So heed me, Father

Your heart is mine

Tears run down my closed eyes

And all that fire burning inside

The pierced tears add time for soul

I shall await for the next to go

Goodbye my soul has given to you

And the strong shall be weak

The blood of my world

Awaits in your grace

Hear me my beloved son

I cannot teach you

Any further

A new Aeon

Has begun

You're the next to

Rise, the Earth's Son

9. Hymn to Lucifer 04:11

I've had no spring, no axle, and no end His body, above the light radiance When novel passion Sun souled Lucifer Swept down the dark colossal swift aslant And there's no end to deal with our curse And spiced with sorrow, the true sources Burnt a life, inside the Universe Where love and knowledge drove out innocent The key of joy is Disobedience I am the flame That burns in every heart of Man I'm the magician and the exorcist

VESPERIAN SORROW

REGENESIS CREATION (2006)

Cinco años tendrían que transcurrir para que los de Austin le dieran continuidad a "Psychotic Sculpture", cinco años que emplearon para perfeccionar su propuesta y llevarla un paso más allá. El mayor cambio apreciable es a nivel de producción, la mezcla suena más compacta y profesional restando un punto de crudeza e improvisación. El componente sinfónico se ve acrecentado y tiene un mayor peso en los temas, solapando un poco un aspecto muy cuidado en su anterior trabajo que era el de las guitarras, aquí todavía presentes en un vertiente igualmente melódica pero más tapadas. La batería a ganado peso y presencia, Kristoph ha trabajado más su faceta y su aportación es más madura. Las voces se mueven por una línea agresiva, pero en algunas partes se han añadido algunos coros y segundas voces que realmente se agradece. Se a dejado atrás aquella atmósfera más fría y oculta para acabar por acercarse a otra más gótica y accesible. En definitiva un álbum correcto sin más, para seguidores de la vertiente más sinfónica del género. (7,9).

1. Intro 01:43  instrumental

2. Invisible Kingdom 07:32

  Through the Gates of Serpithia

Beyond the icy thaws and stagnant soils

Loe and behold the mighty palace

Perched above and beyond all things mortal

Gleaming a crest all fathomed splendor 

Shining above the darkness divine

With a ravishing dream, unholy, immortal

Encompassing affliction, yet the Gods concede

Immaculate ascension for the scribes to see

As of and shown by the eyes of Rashor

Is it an illusion of the spell of Trantor

Thought of and sought after by generations

Only to be crushed by ill veneration

Quelled and summoned by divisible freedom

Embarking on a journey to the Invisible Kingdom

In crested and chambered past the tombs of Turill

Invested by labor to create the throne of Krill

The summon of Drun

A princess to guide

To fashion Senton

The passion of Cron

Transparent shadows cover the forgotten passage

Illusions to capacitate the channeling forms

Voiced in ashes whispered across the mist

Shadows of the morrow reflected and trodden

So far away yet so inclusive

Transcending the tears set a cast

Coiled in a universe theatre

Astral connection of infinite link

Orbital detection to constellate the maze

Through the Gates of Serpithia

Beyond thee, I see

The frail have failed, the strong praise in song

Here within the Invisible Kingdom 

3. Imprisoned in Gurdon 04:32

Torches erected for the muse of the wicked Columns projected for appeasance of wrath Designating sculptures for intrinsic selections Decadent arches, for a profane epitaph Cyclonic delusions lead the clan to entrapment Betrayal by the ones sworn to allegiance Entrusted yet questioned they head towards Gurdon False eyes are looming above the fortified towers Captured and tortured the innocence is pillaged Raping of thoughts to steal the soul enraged Carnival of amusement of devoured beliefs Flesh is the canvas in which the art is carved Indulging in sick sadistic offerings The Gurdonians glutton for pleasure of those With embracing faces the Lintar is set assail Winds gust the floating containment across Agdu The foggy haze conceals the hiding captures Shackles are silent by the sounds of the Trivol Exposed in naked dress for all to indulge Deprived of morals, molested and depraved Distant cries of ancient rhymes Awaken the slumbering heathens Summoning screams, enchanting dreams Reverse the birth of all seasons A creed is a truth unfounded A crown is bore in the night All religions surrounded Bred from the sight of thy might

4. Regenesis Creation 05:54

 This day of wrath -

This day shall consume the world in ashes

What trembling there shall be

When the judges do arrive

Everyone and everything, all will be measured

The hordes of Trella Lheer sound the horns of

Tralon Across the graves of all lands mankind

arises

To render the account, before the throne

The darkness has conquered, dark souls have risen

Grand new beginning for the unholy ones

Nightfall is constant cold skies are present

Evil is lurking, the horror has begun

The barrier is breeched, the water traversed

All carriers are reached, beseeched and reversed

Gaze upon the greatness -

A utopia we never dreamed possible

The dawn of a new era -

A new beginning, a new world

Created from out own visions -

So it has come to pass forever

So it shall remain for centuries -

Together we are reborn, and recreated

Dawn of a new era is upon every legion

It shall be spawned through terror,

They shall conquer all regions

To pillage the wastelands,

They murder all that is seen

Villages heed their commands,

Castles are stripped of their queens

The darkness has conquered, dark souls have risen

Grand new beginning for the unholy ones

Nightfall is constant cold skies are present

Evil is lurking, the horror has begun

Enchanting from the callings conjuring of evil

domains

Foreboding presence is found,

Ominous figures are formed

Screams send out their names,

Speaking in sounds they hear

Foggy shades that guide the moors,

Vaporous mist to shroud them

Stepping out from behind the mirrors stare

Floating through the doors of ancients past

Candles glow to shine upon the glare

Dreamares, nightscapes, evter to the realm

Winding and falling the rivers roar the waves

Binding yet sprawling they deliver the gores of

graves

Mournful are calling the new found creation

Scornful shall worship for all generations

Regenesis Creation -

We embrace a newfound beginning

Created from our strength -

We endure to conquer all worlds

5. Quest of the Exiled 07:24

Journey of lost souls embarks in the Thyne skies Seared fields and plateaus mark the beckoning cries Winds that gale and waters that flow Howls that wail and slaughter of foes Weapons raised high, and the crests were even higher Deafening rors from the mountainous fires Visions are affixed on the mightiest treasure Villainous conflicts are exacted with pleasure Storms commence and shadows befall Swarms dispense the cackling calls Closer and closer they feel it in their hearts Yearning the closure for their lives ron apart Tasting the revenge and loving hatred None hasting to avenge the prize is awaited Across the hills and dales, and beyond the coastal plains The arbors, the thickets and past the relentless rains Through the desert marshes, and all the flood laden valleys Crested harsh are the blood maiden galleys Days turn to months, and months turn to years Praise burns the suns that lessen their fears Strength has arisen adrenaline high The weak are visited Incarnadine thrives Onward towards the horizon they travel with pride Carrying in honor all the comrades who died Marching relentlessly, the Exiled never lose sight of the quest Embarking bequestingly, spent and viled, Conquering the ultimate test Dignity and pride lead the unwavering attacks Unity applied speed the favoring acts Victory and success conquering all enemies Sanctity, noblesse, pondering all to serve thee Ashar, Drad, and Kolar aid the ensuing mass Two moons, one star, give praise to the ruining chaste They held the silvery pendant high in adulation The four points intercepted the four enclosures Arms raised towards the antiquated temple The exiled are reborn, and heed the call to Serpithia 

6. Relinquished 06:39

Conquered and overcome, battled and bewithered Contentious subjects relinquish their grasp Surrendering a task desirable, Yet desired by others Renouncing a compulsion overthrown by the exiled Implying the denial that one has been defeated Accepting with haste the ensuing altruism Horizons of forgotten ash, they are rebuilt to form Homage to the few true gods is repaid Brick by brick, walls and pillars are reformed Paths of ancient tombs and trails of crypts are laid Reborn once again if only in remembrance Yet the Cronum have only left in spirit Apparitions, oppositions Conquered and overcome, battled and bewither Contentious subjects relinquish their grasp Implying the denial that one has been defeated Accepting with haste the ensuing altruism Calling, calling to me, I see within my soul Aeons upon dusk, I rest my weary eyes 

7. The Forever Vortex 04:08

Dark and decrepit chamber

Foreboding remains of fallen grace

Channels lead to the catacombs

Vortex to summon the Ancients past

Forlorn in endless sermons

Awakening the blasphemy of past

Devil dromes forever remain

Exalted whores never forgotten

Lord of the blasphemous lords

Bitch to the conquering cunt

Submissive devotees in slavery

Rendering to defile inferiority

Existence allowed permission granted

To create as to descreate

Revenge avowed religion enchanted

To berate or unabated

Weakness is instilled by the weak

Immaculate beginning graced in forever

Creator of the commencement

Immortal plagues to dress the creation

Lost in forever as if in infamy

Revered through chosen extinction

Infinite creations for eternal beings

Reflected past the furthest dominion

A solacing decrepit scent

Gales that cry the encompassing aeons

Forecast for a thousand centuries

Creating plagues for a thousand more

8. Vanquished 09:55  

The victorious march towards

the chosen sunsets

Leaving behind a land in turmois and plague

Defeated the vanquished, they lye in shame

Depleted the anguished, they choir the names

Shinto, Arga, Khalar, Rodan

Into a new existence

the vanquished must obey

Withdrawing all remembrance

of their ancient times

Submissive they become,

Conforming to the cronum

They follow their newfound leaders

towards redemption

An alliance is formed,

and with each passing day

A compliance has transformed,

A past led astray

Armies are amassed and united with power

The weak are surpassed within the mage hour

Spirits are called upon to guide the way

Strength and courage carry forth the jouney

In honor they continue, with pride they lead

Searching for the answers,

to the rest of the their lives

Four mighty spheres,

the conquered must worship

Bringers of the seasons,

keepers of the scriptures

Restructuring has begun,

on the Trulon circle

Resting inside the circle,

arches that lead to unknowing fates

PSYCHOTIC SCULPTURE (2001)

Este fué el segundo larga duración de la banda afincada en Texas en donde ofrecen un sonido a medias entre black sinfónico y death melódico, una delgada línea separa en su música a ambos géneros. Este es un álbum en línea con bandas como Dimmu Borgir, las comparaciones son odiosas pero es lo que más semejanza tiene, tal vez el sonido no llegue a ser tan sinfónico ni pretencioso y es de agradecer porque el trabajo realizado a las guitarras es bastante bueno, la mayoría de las veces en una vertiente bastante melódica. Las voces en líneas generales discurren por una vertiente agresiva, aunque en ciertas partes incluso han incorporado algunas femeninas y otras más guturales. La ambientación no deja de ser por ello, oscura y siniestra, ambientación que viene de la mano de un buen trasfondo sinfónico. Un álbum que supuso un paso importante en la carrera de la banda y que los dió a conocer como una banda de black sinfónico a tener en cuenta. (7,8).

ZEROES (2015)

Primer larga duración para este proyecto que nos llega desde Turquía, complicado de encerrar bajo una sola etiqueta ya que su música es una mezcla de diferentes estilos con el denominador común del metal más experimental. "Zeroes" no es un álbum corriente, sólo dos temas de más de veintiún minutos cada uno que proponen un acercamiento a la espiritualidad y a una parte oscura de filosofía presente en la naturaleza humana por medio un sonido plagado de dualidad, entre una vertiente más serena y tranquila en forma de programaciones oscuras y repetitivas con una clara función de servir de sustento a la otra faceta de su música, más agresiva con cambios de ritmo improvisados en donde las voces tejen una maraña de sensaciones próximas a la locura y la oscuridad. En definitiva, estamos ante un álbum de una clara orientación experimental, que fluye de manera rápida y perfecta, de un combo en el cuál se nota y mucho la personalidad de Emir Toğrul. (8).

Martire - Brutal Legions of the Apocalypse 15,00 €

Die Hard version: Picture LP, UV gloss coated gatefold jacket, A2 poster.

(Description by J. Campbell)

Few debut albums conjure the sort of rabid anticipation that has developed around Martire’s “Brutal Legions of the Apocalypse.” Until now, this album seemed to be one of those legendary recordings that would remain forever buried. Although recorded years ago, this album sounds every bit as unique as fans of Martire would expect. Indeed, listening to this record now it sounds as if, by delaying this release for so many years, Martire were simply giving the rest of the scene a chance to catch up. And, yet, “Brutal Legions of the Apocalypse” demonstrates that Martire are still far ahead of their peers. This is a disorienting album in the best way possible. Martire routinely employ unconventional time signatures and constantly engage in dizzying start/stop exercises. For many, primitive bestiality and technical virtuosity represent the opposite ends of a spectrum. Martire, however, reconcile these two extremes to tremendous effect. Martire’s exhibition of technical prowess should not surprise anyone who is familiar with the other bands with which the members of Martire are involved. (These include Tzun Tzu, Cauldron Black Ram, StarGazer, and Mournful Congregation to name but a few.) Martire adeptly apply this technical skill in the service of soul crushing savagery. The bestial veneer that adorns much of Australia’s output is thickly applied to this recording without obscuring any of the music’s complexity. Conversely, unlike so many “technical” bands, the fervor of Martire’s attack is never diluted by pointless showmanship. The elements of Martire’s sound work in tandem. The production may be the key to Martire’s music and to the degree that the delay in the release of this record was due to the band’s efforts to ensure perfect production, it seems that their efforts have paid off. All of the instruments are sufficiently separated in the mix so that nothing is obscured. The guitars are wisely left just below the surface of the percussive rumble of the drums and the vocals are loud enough to augment the ferocity of the music. Considering the strength of Martire’s catalog, it must have been daunting for the band to take up the task of recording a full-length album that could live up to the promise of their earlier releases, but “Brutal Legions of the Apocalypse” meets and surpasses any and all expectations that one could have developed in the many years since Martire’s last emanation.

VINTERSKUGGE (1994)

Si, Fenriz de Darkthrone es el único integrante de este proyecto y este Vinterskugge sirve de recopilación de sus tres primeras demos. "Spectres Over Gorgoroth", demo de 1989 con una fuerte influencia del death y del doom metal muy presente en los inicios del proyecto, "Horizons" de 1991 en donde sigue presente la influencia del death y el doom pero en donde comenzamos a apreciar también una vertiente más punk en su música, y finalmente "Vandreren" en donde las influencias folk y viking se hacen más presentes. La calidad del Fenriz está fuera de toda duda en estos temas, en donde predomina un ambiente y producción totalmente cruda, totalmente underground, riffs sencillos pero pegadizos y unas voces muy buenas, capaces de diferentes registros, desde el death o el doom, pasando por momentos de voces casi limpias en las partes más folk y gritos desgarradores en cierto apartados. A reseñar también que las similitudes con Darkthrone no están del todo claras, tal vez solo en la intensidad y la crudeza de algunas composiciones, pero en líneas generales Fenriz opta por su vena más death, doom en sus inicios y por otra más folk y viking en su parte final. Un álbum que cualquier seguidor del black metal en general y de Darkthrone en particular no debería de dejar pasar. (8,4).
