I got this from France and I dont know much about Black Wine Order except that it is as I understood one man band/project. There is no FB site or any internet site except bandcamp and I saw there that this is the second album. The album contains 8 songs for free download and this music is definitely not for everyday average Joe user to listen to and smile. This fucker is a dark piece full of ambiental darwave electro and ambient sounds and harsh almost whispered vocals. I really liked the vibe that this album has, almost evil like walking through the night not seeing anything in front of your nose, but sensing that something evil is there wathcing and waiting and taking pleasure in your ignorance of not knowing what lurks out there and waits in the darkness. Some song parts sometimes remind me in some weird way of Sopor Aeternus, not vocally, but having some graveyard dead vibe. My absolute favorites of this album are the opener “Dead Meat Jazz”, “Song of the Rain” and “Le Bourbier Du Diable”. If you dont like dark, ambiental and disturbing music, avoid this record. If you are into that stuff like I am, check this one out.

Russian trash metal band Pokerface was founded in Moscow in 2013.and as I understand this is their third album. Who would have thought that such excellent band hides behind such name? If someone asked me about it only mentioning the name I would have never guessed that it is such an excellent band. This album contains 10 songs, each and every one with lyrics in English language. As I have read, it is a loosely concept album because all the songs are somehow linked with luck, problems loosing luck, dark side of the human psyche and similar themes. The two opening songs “The Bone Reaper” and “The Fatal Scythe” are lessons in dark, energetic and brutal trash metal. The vocalist Lady Owl has an excellent brutal voice which would put to shame many of her male counterparts in the scene. What I love about this album that it has so much brutal energy and wild metal vibe. The amount of that energy my ears didnt hear in the last couple of months hehe. “Play or Die” and “Blackjack” have a great vocal male/female interplay like two demons arguing over who will get more metal. For me the absolute highlight of the album is “Straight Flush” but all ten songs are equally great, so check this one out if you are fan of trash metal in the vein of Kreator, Sodom, Slayer, Destruction and such bands. For me it is sure one of the best albums I have heard this month.
