Agrimonia are a female fronted metal band from Sweden, featuring some members of Martyrdöd. They're described on Metal-Archives as "Melodic Death Metal/Crust", but I think they're doom/sludge than death metal or crust (though they're generally associated with Swedish crust scene). And the vocals are brutal, I must say... BTW, they were playing at Alerta Antifascista festival in Hannover last year, and they'll play there @ 21-22 May this year.

About the blog
First of all, excuse me for my possibly poor English (but at least I'm trying to do my best). Second, if you're playing in a band and want to see your music featured on my blog - send a download link of your demo to b_k(@)hush.com. Make sure to include the following information:
- band name, release name/year, country of origin, album cover image (or at least band photo or logo);
- track listing (properly numbered);
- preferably a full release (not samples or streaming) in mp3/m4a/ogg (128kbps or higher bitrate). You may use any free filesharing site (preferably Mediafire) to host your files; or you can use Bandcamp (but then make sure your release is available for free download). Please don't send me large files as attachments;
- any other info about you and your release (links to any sites related to your band, release notes, etc.);
- reason why you want your music to be featured on my blog (note that it's not just another metal blog, and even if your band is apolitical, it still should be somehow in the spirit of RABM movement).
Unfortunately I often have not so much free time, so don't expect me to review your release immediately. Of course you're free to ask me how soon will I do it, if you really want to know.
Kinds of music featured in this blog:
- (primarily) RABM or Red & Anarchist Black Metal: all kinds of black metal-related music charged with radical leftist (anarchist, libertarian socialist, eco-anarchist, etc.) political views. Some of the bands featured here may be not openly political, but all of them are RABM-friendly;
- blackened crust/hardcore/punk (only if it's openly RABM-friendly, or if it's just very good music; I've no intention to collect here all the blackened punk in existence);
- other kinds of political (anarchist, socialist, etc.) metal - death, thrash, post-metal, etc.;
- dark ambient, neofolk, industrial, dark electro, etc. - but only if it has RABM-friendly ideology;
- regular punk/hardcore/crust, post-rock, conscious hip-hop, etc. - but only as a rare exception (so if you want me to send a demo in one of these genres, you're probably in the wrong place).
Most of the uploads here are band sanctioned. Anyway, if you for some reason don't want to see your music here, send me a message and I'll consider taking it down.
The main idea of this blog is to keep alive the connection (both musical and ideological) between black metal and punk scenes, which existed since early days of BM (think Venom, early Bathory, early Mayhem and early Sodom on one side, and Amebix, Discharge and Axegrinder on another). Recently this mix of BM and hardcore punk got a new life in the form of blackened crust (thanks to Black Kronstadt / Iskra in first place). And don't forget about Cascadian black metal bands with their radical environmentalist ideology, often to the extent of radical eco-anarchism or "pro-nature/anti-humanity" ideas.
While RABM is definitely against NSBM and any other kind of far-right crap in metal scene, it's most emphatically a self-sufficient movement and not any kind of "answer to NSBM". Similarly, while RABM is 100% pro liberation from any kinds of religious tyranny, it isn't a movement against any particular religion (Christianity, Islam, or any other).
"Metal/Punk = rejection of mundane authority; anarchy. Black Metal = rejection of spiritual authority; metaphysical anarchy. NSBM = crap that follows an authority" (c)
But of course, if you still think that all these ideologies should have no place in "true" black metal, you can feel free to call it "blackened punk" or whatever you want, and leave my blog. And in case if you if you find any content of this blog offensive for political, religious or whatever else reasons - fill out this form and GTFO here.
Any kind of ideological hostility within RABM movement is also not welcome here. RABM is open to various opinions, we do not endorse any kind of division of the RABM scene - "Anarchism vs. Marxism", "Trotskyism vs. Anti-Revisionism", "Primitivism vs. Transhumanism" (for me, both are way too radical...) or whatever else. However, we definitely don't support unabashedly totalitarian ideologies like Juche/Baathism/Polpotism/any other kind of monarchism or nationalism disguised as Stalinism, Marxism or even Anarchism. The only kind of "national liberation" movements that we can support are the ones which seek for individual freedoms and social justice, progress of the society and liberation from authoritarian prejudices and religious fundamentalism. Examples of such movements include:
- band name, release name/year, country of origin, album cover image (or at least band photo or logo);
- track listing (properly numbered);
- preferably a full release (not samples or streaming) in mp3/m4a/ogg (128kbps or higher bitrate).
