 Both bands on this split need no introduction to the regular readers of my blog. The split is very good and could easily be one of the best RABM releases of the 1st half of 2014.

Today's 8th of March, so it's about time to post something with female vocals. I'm receiving a lot of demos, but not many of this kind. This one, recorded by a collective of 5 friends (2M / 3F) from Praha (CZ), Děčín (CZ) and Stockholm (SWE), is going to fit in well. It isn't black metal, but this kind of epic crust is always welcome in my blog too. Reminds me of Exmisja and Fall of Efrafa, regarding both music and ideology.

Blasphemyth - "Blasphemous Hordes of Obliteration" (2013)

BLASPHEMYTH "Blasphemous Hordes of Obliteration"

Year: 2014

Genre: Blackened Death Metal

Country: Morocco

Track List:

1. Melek-Oath
2. Blasphemous Hordes of Obliteration

DOWNLOAD

Satanic death metal from Marrakesh (Morocco). This is an EP consisting of a single title track and a short intro, recorded in Neuchatel (Switzerland):

"Blasphemyth is a Moroccan death metal band that was formed by Rachid Nefariouz Sadomator in 2009, after the split up of Cogito Ergo Sum. They produce their music in an independent Maison in Neuchatel (Switzerland), even though the band is currently located in Marrakesh, Morocco.

Blasphemyth music is notably the outcome of widely varied tempos, often swinging from fast primitive sounds to slow, down-tuned passages similar to those performed by death/doom bands like Autopsy.

Motivation to submit music to RABM Blog :
- support for leftist philoshophy ;
- anti religious domination & political totalitarianism (Fukk Nazi scum & NS ideology) ;
- no boss, no master … only the self shall prevail ! give people freedom, equilibrium will come from it"

There are much more demos submitted to my blog in the recent few weeks, but unfortunately I don't have much tome right now for listening to them. Stay tuned and be patient.

Genre:  Blackened Doom Metal

Country: United Kingdom

1. The Great Depression
2. Pervert
3. Of All Evil
4. Testament Of The Tapeworm

I discovered Torture Garden a few months ago and have been really enjoying this album.  It is a good combination of black, doom, and a little bit of death metal.  While is was enjoying them and playing them on Rage and Frustration, my radio program, I hadn't pored over the lyrics closely enough to realize they were writing about the current economic crisis from a communist perspective.  You can find more of their music at their last.fm page here,  a preview of the album by the vocalist here, and a release announcement here.  You can download in a Pay What You Want format from their Bandcamp page linked below.  I highly recommend this release and hope you'll take the time to check it out.  - Hayduke X

Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni - "The End" (2014)

B.D.M. "The End"

Year: 2014

Genre: Noisy Black Metal, Dark Ambient

Country: Russia

Track List:

1. Hopelessness
2. Continuous Self-Murder
3. Removal
4. Continuous Self-Murder II

DOWNLOAD

The latest release from BDM, featuring one new track and 3 previously unreleased ones (recorded in early 2013). As the name suggests, this is most likely going to be BDM's final release. If you've listened to BDM's earlier albums and liked them, you might want to check out this one too; otherwise I should warn you that it's pretty lo-fi DIY stuff... just like all the other releases from BDM, though.

Incipit - "Desiertos" (2014)

INCIPIT "Desiertos"

Year: 2014

Genre: Black Metal/Punk

Country: Argentina

Track List:

1. Desierto I
2. Quien Canta Bajo
3. Desierto II
4. Mirando Adelante
5. Primeras Luces
6. Desierto III
7. Respiro
8. Salvando
9. Desierto IV

DOWNLOAD

The 3rd release from Incipit, if we don't count two splits released in 2011 and 2013. Again, it isn't bad for a DIY one-man band, but I think the drum programming could be better (as the drums are too repetitive at times). From now, Incipit has a bandcamp page, with all 3 releases available for free (or for whatever price you want).
