Rimthurs is an entity hailing from Sweden and it has been formed some time in the mid nineties but hasn´t been very active until early 2000s. This is the third full length opus containing eight songs. Rimthurs is in fact a one man entity spawned by creature called Niflfarinn, who did guitars, drums and vocals, with help of Mordh on bass. The music is fast and relentless black metal done in old school nineties way, but midst all aggression there are atmospheric acoustic parts and clean vocals with melancholy and birds singing like being in the deep woods, just listen to Mot Undergang. So, there is a melancholy and atmosphere with so many emotions in the music, that reminds again why black metal is such superb form of music. Lyrics are in Swedish I think, I don´t speak the language, but judging by my knowledge of Germanic roots of words they are more nature and maybe pagan oriented depicting beauty of Nordic landscape, darkness and inner feelings. I also must mention Eldens Andar being my highlight with changing from ritualistic Nordic drums to blast beats and back with haunting clean melody mixing with black metal tremolos. Half of the album are a bit longer songs but they do not get boring for a second and this one is an intense listening for all black metal fiends out there. Another great entity from Sweden is upon us!
Bankrupt have released a lyric video for their new high-energy sci-fi themed punk rock song Astrolena, which they recommend to fans of Mean Jeans, Bad Nerves and the Epoxies. The song is about an intergalactic love story during an alien invasion. Its lyrics also resonate with the general disillusionment over the political situation in Hungary.
This is the band’s first new single since last year’s The Plane To Toronto. The track will be available on Spotify and all digital streaming platforms from 29 Apr.
Wrath Of The Nebula are hailing from France and being relatively new band in the scene, formed in 2018, but its members are in no way new, having played in so many bands and projects of extreme music scene in France and abroad. Anyway, this is the debut full length opus of this entity, and it contains intro plus eleven songs. Wrath Of The Nebula play fantastic mixture of melodic death metal with lots of sympho parts involving keyboards and atmospheric parts, but also thrash and fast parts with aggression giving more way and expression to melody with awesome vocals bordering from growling, screams to superb harsh melodic and clean vocals fitting perfectly to the songs. Musicianship is phenomenal and the whole vibe of the record takes me to some other frightening yet eye opening dimension. Theme of the lyrics is more existential, space and continuum oriented, from ancient cultures to aliens and space. Songs like DNA Of The Gods(watch the video), When Galaxies Collide or Fractal Dimensions are my personal favorites but listen because with every listening you will find something more and interesting and that is the true beauty and relevance of this opus.
