South America has vast underground scene and from Brazil comes Hordes of Wrath. This is a one man band which continues in raw paths of Sarcofago, Krisiun and even European influences like Marduk can be heard in this apocalyptic demo featuring four in your face Satanic songs. The music is all out fast and aggressive black death thrash attack. Old school thrash is featured mixed with blast beats in Final Solution, for me the best song on this demo. All Must Die and All Must Die are something for you to peel your ears too. Vocals are shouted more in thrash metal vein, dirty and raw, lyrics are all out attack in your face, with killing, trampling upon corpses of christians, misanthropy and anger. This energy lacked in my music list last couple of weeks, so I am happy to have found out about Hordes of Wrath. Great demo, I am eager for a full length in the future.
Time for another band from our Croatian scene to grace the pages of this webzine. Dying East are coming from Županja, Croatia and this is their debut album release. This one contains 8 songs, Members of this band are veterans from many bands coming from that area. Fascinating such small town and so many great bands came from there in last twenty or even twenty five years. Someone should write a book about that phenomena. Anyway, these guys play wicked version of death thrash metal with some melancholic and epic guitar melody underneath it all like in one of my favorites Devil In The Skies. Music is mainly fast but changes from aggression to melody and back again to aggressive thrash death passages coupled with hardcore punk roots of the guys who played in many previous bands that influenced their music. Some songs also remind very much of Swedish school of death metal. Lyrics are in English and are pretty allegoric and personal but not something that I can not relate to. This is superb debut album and I wish all the best to the guys from the band. Hats off!
Ornamentos del Miedo is a one man project from Spain and this is brand new two song e.p. with both tracks being well over eleven minutes long. This project has been in the scene since 2017 and there are three full length opuses and two e.p.-s if we include this one. The music is slow funereal doom with growling death vocals reminding me a lot of all those glorious days and early My Dying Bride releases and similar bands like awesome Thergothon back in the days. Besides doom and gloom Ornamentos del Miedo delivers epic melancholic powerful guitar melodies and slow rolling drums provide atmosphere of gloom, sadness and hopelessness with sometimes providing goosebumps on my skin with melancholic melody thrown here and there. Synth backgrounds lay soundscape that takes you and pulls you further into the music and other dimension. Both of these songs provide such richness of sound that I am really glad that I was able to discover this one. Superb doom.
