(review) Vampyric Winter – My Last Vampyric Winter Among These Ruins

Vampyric Winter are hailing from Spain, formed in 2021 and being relatively new band in the scene, but members played and are playing in many other bands and projects. This is their second full length. What to expect here? There are seven songs on this opus and the music is mainly raw black metal played with lots of blast beats but also some atmospheric mid tempo parts reminding me a lot of nineties black metal being my favorite bm period. The guitar deliver melancholic melodies and aggression at the same time and vocals are not typical bm screaming, rather growling and if you are into this music you will understand a lot what is being sung about. Lyrics are in English and deal with vampirism, darkness and death. My personal favorites are A Gift Of True Suffering(The Death Is Complete) and also Thy Unholy Presence. This record makes you feel like you stand at the ruins of the castle on the hill on windy night with some presence watching you. Melancholy plus aggression equals great black metal.

(review) Ornamentos del Miedo – Frío (Darkwoods)

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.

Brothers Till We Die – ‘Path Of Fire’ video & single out now!

We are stoked to announce the release of the first new single from BROTHERS TILL WE DIE. This song is from their upcoming record ‘REINCARNATION‘ which will hit the stores on Fr Nov 18. 

PATH OF FIRE is the first single for BTWD in more than 3 years. The song encourages you to focus on yourself and to take responsibility for your acts instead of blaming the universe for your situation. No matter what, there is always hope if you continue with your path. It also talks about keeping the people that push you back aside of your way, as they only bring useless negative attitude. It has a lot of new elements from a new era in the band.
