(review) Wrath Of The Nebula – The Ruthless Leviathan

Leave a comment

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.

(review) Hell Militia – Hollow Void (Season of Mist)

Leave a comment

Hell Militia are hailing from the depths of French underground black metal scene and have been in existence since 2001. This is their fourth full length opus and first one in ten years. This band consists of experienced individuals who have been in the scene for decades playing in many great bands and projects delivering the unholy music to our metal hearts. This opus contains nine songs. Music of Hell Militia is raw and energetic old school black metal like it was played in the nineties from the north of Europe and if I must compare it to some bands, it would be 1349, early Satyricon, Gorgoroth, early Mayhem and similar bands. There are couple of death metal influences in some vocal growls here and there and some slower parts, but it is mainly full one blast beat aggression of black metal backed with melodic guitar work and superb vocals courtesy of singer RSDX. This is no black gaze, no hipster black metal, this is how it was supposed to sound from the early days and I love that bands like Hell Militia continue to fly the black banner high for years to come. Personal favorites: Dust of time, Hollow Void, Veneration.
