Sign of Fear - demo I (2010)

(sorry, no cover)

SIGN OF FEAR "demo I"

Year: 2010
Genre: Black Metal
Country: Russia (?)

Track List:

1. Intro
2. Black Forest
3. We Are The Road Crew (Motorhead cover)

DOWNLOAD

I can't remember where I found this demo (most probably in our vkontakte.ru RABM group). There's almost no infourmation about the band, but they're definitely from ex-USSR (most likely from Russia), and very simular to Mania and Peregrine in terms of ideology. Leaving aside the intro and the Motorhead cover (it sounds just as expected - like old school 80's blackened heavy/thrash metal), their only original song sounds really good, even though it's just a first demo. There are even some elements of symphonic black metal, which is a rare thing in the RABM scene.

Petnaesti Čeh - promo (2010)

PETNAESTI ČEH (XVČ) "promo"

Year: 2010
Genre: Hardcore/Crust
Country: Croatia


Track List:

1. Danijelova Mržnja
2. Potpuno Nijem
3. Tragična

DOWNLOAD

This 3-song promo release was posted in our "Blackened Crust" last.fm group, and I really liked it, though it's relatively far from blackened crust - it's more like hardcore/crust in the vein of Tragedy and From Ashes Rise. It also reminds me of some Eastern European female-fronted hardcore bands like Devil Shoot Devil - maybe because Petnaesti Čeh use more or less clean female vocals too.

Vessel I - "V#I# Infinity (Demo)" (2010)

VESSEL I "V#I#∞"

Year: 2010
Genre: Post-Black Metal
Country: USA

Track List:

1. Finality
2. Resonance Cascade
3. From Dust To Astral Void

DOWNLOAD

Vessel I is a new post-black metal project from Southern California. I had a little conversation with their guitarist/vocalist in our last.fm group few months ago, but in that time their records had sub-demo quality, so I decided to wait for a proper release. Now, their sound is way better, incorporating elements of neocrust and post-rock, and obviously influenced by Cascadian black metal scene. The name of the demo is pure post-rock satire (compare it F#A#∞ by GY!BE, who also are anarcho-friendly), and Vessel I have ironically referred to themselves as "hipster black metal" band. Obviously, they have a sense of self-humour, but I'm not sure if I understand their doctrine of "anarcho-nihilism" correctly. To me, their ideology looks very simular to the ideas of Stirner and Nietzsche.

Political Terror (aka Meus Luctus) - "Bastard Beings" (2010)

POLITICAL TERROR "Bastard Beings"

Year: 2010
Genre: Raw USBM
Country: USA

Track List:

1. Born Into This
2. Clouded Actions
3. Death Cycle
4. Meus Luctus
5. Our Existence

DOWNLOAD


Political Terror (previously known as Meus Luctus), a duo from Miami (Florida), consisting of Anthony Garcia (vocals/drums) and Peter Hernandez (guitar), plays pro-environmentalist, non-militant straight edge, anarcho black metal. It's their first release, and their sound is very raw, but I guess many fans of US black metal would enjoy it anyway. And of course, it's good to see another BM band being open about their anti-authoritarian beliefs.

One more release from my wishlist. This is a cassette rip, and there are only two files - "side A" and "side B", though the tracklist has 5 tracks. Enough for today, next time I'll post some American stuff (Political Terror, Panopticon, etc.)

Thanks to Evrom for posting this release! Now I can delete it from my wishlist. Of course it's a raw home-made demo with not so good quality of sound, but I still like it. Just keep in mind it's blackened punk rather than black metal.
