bandcamp / facebook

Shiv is a band from Slovenia that started in 2007. They recorded 2 demos and then slept up in 2008. In 2015 the band "resurrected". I found this on their Facebook: "It's been a while, but never say never. After years (7 actually) of pain correspondence, hurling insults, and ironic things out we agreed to give this beast new wings". Well, this is how this powerful EP is out; it it definitely brutal and really worth listening to it.  

Vlaknasta - "Sondaža materničnih žalosti" (2015)

VLAKNASTA "Sondaža materničnih žalosti (A sondage of cervical sorrows)"

Year: 2015

Genre: Black Noise

Country: Slovenia

Track List:

1. Paradigma skrbi
2. O sanjah in ploskosti

bandcamp

A new tape released by Slovenia-based Štrigon Records (see also Human Host Body). Vlaknasta is described as "a black metal/atonal improv-compositional project, a meeting of black metal intensities, sound forms and expressive tropes with atonal improvisation, free-noise drumming, experimental composition and a parellel process of text generation, an attempt to write through different perceptions of female pain, occult currents of experience, both a breaking through and a being-part-of hearing that which is". Surely it's stuff not for everyone's liking, but those who do like noisy BM shouldn't be disappointed.

DOWNLOAD

A new split EP, featuring two bands that already were featured on my blog a few times. Link found here, and I think I'd just take the description from there too: "Hellcrawler's music is based on swedish death metal mixed with a lot of crust/hardcore elements. Wölfe are more chaotic compared to the Slovenians, with more thrashy riffing, with raw and rough production and screaming vokills!"
That'll be enough for today, but lot of more new stuff is on the way - including a big anti-NSBM compilation made by our comrades-in-arms, TDSAU.

Another band from Slovenia, with a raw 4-song demo released as a tape by Štrigon Records:

"We are humble punx playing d-beat crust with lots of metal influences. Our lyrics deal with anarho-primitivism, anti-civilization and anarchy. Most of the ideas comes form authors like John Zerzan, Daniel Quinn, Pierre Clastres, Fredy Perlman..."

P.S. There are much more demos sent to me while I wasn't very active here, and I hope to review at least some of them in the next few days. Stay tuned.

Marnost & Leechfeast - split (2014)

MARNOST / LEECHFEAST

Year: 2014

Genre: Black Metal / Sludge

Country: Czech Republic / Slovenia

Track List:

1. MARNOST - Lidé si kupují pečené kaštany
2. LEECHFEAST - Miasmata

bandcamp / bandcamp

As I've promised, I'm posting the 2nd recent release from Marnost. Although I liked their split with Oaken more than this one, it deserves to be on here too. The only song on Marnost side sounds quite experimental, and has a pretty strange name as well (in fact, it's based on a 1927 poem by a Czech anarcho-communist writer S.K.Neumann).

"Leechfeast from Slovenia is a diy gloomy sludge/doom band featuring members of Paperplanecrash, Landverraad or Melete. On this record they have one superheavy 7min song that sounds like Black Sabbath on heroin. Marnost are a czech anarchist blackmetal/experimental project with members of Gattaca, Remek, Lakmé or Dakhma and here they have an unorthodox and very experimental 7min song. The following labels co-released the split: Burina (sk), Catanarchy (at), Dingleberry (ger), IFB (usa), MxFxL (cz), Neadnderthal Stench (bel), Rope or Guillotine (nl). 525 pieces on black vinyl were made"

bandcamp

Another band that's quite similar to Bhopal and Children of Technology - both musically and aesthetically. They are not from Italy, but from Slovenia, which is right next to Italy. Their debut LP "Wastelands" was released by Hollow Earth Records who apparently are RABM-friendly as well as Iconoclast. If you like metallic crust with lyrics inspired by post-apocalyptic & biker movies, then this release is for you.
