HOMUNCULI "Homunculi"

Another band from Brazil (although they're from Curitiba, while Nuclear Frost are Paulistas). Homunculi are led by Felipe, who's also a member of Vaba Marat and a former member of Motim. Initially, the project was called Homvncvli, but looks like they have abandoned that "trve & kvlt" way of spelling their name. Here's their debut 3-track EP, and it's obviously influenced by Panopticon and the whole RABM thing in general. Recommended! And feel free to post it on your blog, if you have one - any support for this new and very promising RABM band would be much appreciated...

The spirit of 80s' metal is alive and well in Latin America! You already may know this Brazilian blackened thrash / war crust band by their two demos which I've posted in my blog before. They also released a few splits during 2009-2011, but I haven't heard any of them yet.

Ash Borer - "Ash Borer" (2011)

ASH BORER "s/t"

Year: 2011
Genre: Cascadian Black Metal
Country: USA

Track List:

  1. In the Midst of Life, We Are in Death
  2. Rest, You Are the Lightning
  3. My Curse Was Raised in the Darkness Against a Doomsday Silence

DOWNLOAD

Here's the first full-length release by Ash Borer... need I say more? We had to wait two years for this excellent album, and finally it's available through a variety of labels (Gilead Media, Eternal Warfare, Suburban Mayhem, Psychic Violence). Regarding their ideology: they once described themselves as "Godless, Masterless, Hopeless" on their myspace, and I don't think they have changed their views since then.

I've heard something about this band back in 2007, when I just started my research in RABM, but only now I've listened to all their albums. Their music is a mix of black, death and thrash metal in roughly even proportion, and the result is quite interesting (I think it doesn't sound like the most bands in my blog... the closest analogue would be probably Altare).


Warkult started in early 2000s under the name "Berserk". So far they have released two albums ("The New Becoming" and this one), plus one Berserk demo. All these releases are available for free on their myspace page.
