Tir started its musical journey in Turkey, but now it resides in Australia. The music of Tir can be described as dungeon synth with dark ambient, dark/neofolk influences in the songwriting and song structures. This record offers 15 songs of epic soundscape. The atmosphere is majestic, epic, yet at the same time sometimes eerie. Dungeon synth is not the music for wide masses and for ordinary people, but all of the hearts that are really into it will find themselves more than satisfied with this album. My personal favorites on this one are Righteous Viraz with such epic almost fantasy melody and also The Dragon King Raised an Army having such vibe and atmosphere that you can almost touch it and feel it with your hands and it can enter all of your body through your eyes, ears and possess your mind and heart having that martial beat and making your skin crawl with goosebumps. But, you will have to find your own personal favorites if you love such music. Go ahead, have a listen, let yourselves go to other dimension with this one.
This record contains ten songs and the music of Kali Masi can be described as melodic and emotional punk rock with indie influences in the song structures. This is not your fast no holds barred skatepunk, but rather more slowed down and mid tempo emotional anthems, filled with all the right stuff you need when listening to such record. Meaning nice vocal lines and harmonies, beautiful poetic song lyrics and choruses just made for singing and humming long after you finished listening to the record, yet something draws you to it again and again. Songs like Gulit Like A Gun which hits you in the eye with superb melody and gradation of drama and poetry. Also, Long Term is superb song, my personal favorite, but don´t let that tell you that others are not worth, quite the contrary, you must listen to this awesome record and find your own favorites and you will, believe me. I remember when I was a ferocious and wild hardcore kid, records such as this one were not my cup of tea to say at least, but now I learned to love and cherish emotional treats like this one. Great record.
Demenzia Mortis are hailing from Belgium and this is their first full length album out with Sounds of Hell. What to expect here? This is a ferocious all out war! A no holds barred black death blasting assault that will melt your face off and make you beg for mercy and for more at the same time. After ominous machine gun backed intro, battle begins. Blast beats, fast black metal kicks in and Codex 666 reminded me a bit of Marduk´s best opus but that in no way means Demenzia Mortis clone anybody. The vocals vary between black metal screams singing mainly and death metal growling occasionally. The record contains nine songs, two being intro and outro, but there is also a bonus track and digipack contains two more bonus songs, so be sure to order yours. Through all the brutality, there are some atmospheric parts that add to the drama like awesome Antikult being one of my personal favorites with diabolic vibe and death metal rolling drums like satanic legions marching only to turn into ultra fast destroyer. Also, for me highlights on this record are: Dark Resolution and Above & Beyond. Great and strong record.
