Ossaert release first single – De Geest en de Vervoering & start pre-order!

After spawning one of the most haunting debut releases of 2020, the Dutch enigmatic, blasphemous presence named Ossaert is back with a stellar sophomore album that elevates the sound of the band to new, unreached levels.

While the core and skeleton of the sound of ‘Bedehuis’ remains intact, ‘Pelgrimsoord‘ expands towards vaster horizons and adds an almost majestic layer of dark solemnity to what delivered in the previous release.

Pelgrimsoord‘ immortalises its oath to the dark side with immense class and invigorated heretic ardor, superb riffing and a terrifying vocal performance at times not afraid of paying its tribute to the unholy Gods of Heavy Metal.

Out on ArgentoRecords, ‘Pelgrimsoord‘ is a Black Metal manifestation of abandonment to perdition.

Pelgrimsoord‘ will be limited to 300 LP’s (200 Black & 100 Blood/Smoke,    200 CD’s and 50 hand-numbered tapes.)

Tracklist:
1. De Geest en de Vervoering 09:17
2. De Val en de Beroering 10:03
3. De Nacht en de Verdwijning 10:13
4. De Dag en de Verschijning 11:33
Total: (41:06)

(review) Causam – Doomsday Rapture

cover

Causam are hailing from Switzerland and this is their first full length album. This record contains eight songs, one being intro. Music of Causam can be described as fast yet melodic black metal. Their music creates atmosphere of aggression, sorrow, despair, yet at the same time melancholy with excellent melodies and guitar work. Drumming is mainly blast beats, yet turning at times into beautiful atmospheric passages just reminding me why I love black metal so much, being best music for expressing all of your emotions. My personal favorites are Beauty of Decay and Eternal, although all of the songs are just excellent. Vocals are black metal screeching but being perfect and fitting fantastic to the song structures. The lyrical themes are more deep and personal than in your face Satanic verses and the mixture of epic music and great lyrics make this one of the best black metal records that came out this year until now.

(review) Demenzia Mortis – Anti Kult (Sounds of Hell)

DEMENZIA MORTIS - ANTI KULT

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.
