(record review)Panchrysia-“Dogma”(Satanath Records)

Leave a comment

Panchrysia from Belgium recently released their new studio full length album and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

These guys have been around since 1998.and they delivered their quality black metal upon the unsuspecting world. This time on this album Panchrysia delivers 8 songs of atmospheric, brutal, but still melodic black metal. The lyrics are in English and as I understand deal with ancient myths and prophecies of the end of the world. I love the atmosphere of “Kairos”,  how the song evolves between almost dark and calm atmosphere of death and nothingness into full blooded aggressivity and despair that only black metal can provide. The song structures are epic as “Rats” can prove when you listen to it, and for me that is the absolutely best song on this record. I must say hats off to the guys because they managed to retain a great deal of originality in today´s scene when a lot of the bands just become clones of each other. Don´t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong being a clone if you sound and make great music, but the road this band chose is much more difficult and I respect them for that so much more. Great album!

(news)BLACK ALTAR – new line-up and upcoming releases

Leave a comment

After 14 years since the last line-up changes Black Altar is no longer a one-man project.  Shadow (bass, vocals) was joined by M.A. (guitar, vocals), E.R. (drums) – both from ONDSKAPT, and T.R. (guitar) from SPIRITS WAY. After successful split with BEASTCRAFT, new line-up has just started working on the new mini album “Nekromantic Revelations”. The music on it will differ from the already know Black Altar’s style, it will be slower, more mystical and haunted. The material will be recorded by the end of this year/ beginning of 2019 in Sweden.
