It's been a while this happened back in the days of Faultless (rest in peace!) when I I tried to write reviews of heavy music. And so it turned out that this was the case it was necessary and useful. At least Demiurge Ash appreciated it. And supported. Therefore, what you read now, I hope it will be go out more or less regularly anywhere else, except in all our favorite newspaper "Heresy". And it's nothing more thanREVIEW OF EXTREME MUSIC .----------------------------. ########## ##############%# ################## #########:###### # # ########### ###################### #######%### # ################### # ################### # ######% # # ## ################# ################### # # % ## %# ## ################### ################### # ####### #### ########### # # ####### ##################:::### ##### ############# ######## #################### ##:%::### ### #################### # ## #### #### ## ### I immediately warn readers about three things: 1) Regarding styles, musical preferences, evaluation, etc. - this is purely my opinion, a subjective opinion, so fuck everyone dissatisfied and self-important professionals in this field are received personally me, an amateur. Address Slider of BrokImSoft/Rush. 2) The music albums in question are not always new products that have just appeared. From time to time I maybe I'll remember andold enough things that either were recently released by the main supplier of audio cassettes to our region - studio "Moon Records", or I just remembered them - it would be a sin not to re-listen once again to a thing that has sunk into your soul and not to draw other people's attention to it. 3) Do not look for such musical trends in this section as like death in its pure form or core in any way combination. I hate this music! And, accordingly, everything that is easier heavy metal (which, by the way, I don’t really like either) - pop and must die! Now about music appreciation. If suddenly I became interested, accidentally heard some material and vomited - there will be no review. In case of attention deserves at least one or two compositions - I’ll express my opinion, but I won't give any stars. Otherwise, the three-point system is as follows: *** - total rulez! You have to run headlong and get it somewhere this arch-cool thing immediately, because otherwise In my case, my sympathy for you knows no bounds. ** - highly recommended for replenishing your music collection. * - nothing extraordinary, but quite good. It's worth listening to a couple of times.Music for everyone. So let's get started: ###### #%%::####%:# BAL-SAGOTH ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "The Power Cosmic" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (***) #%#. Some Great Star Empires are collapsing, others are being reborn. Space supermen leading the universal armies, conquer worlds. The power of the awakened stars, creation and destruction on a global scale. This is the new album of the famous sympho-black metal band. Tremble those who deserves it, for the Legions of Chaos are on their way! Direct continuation previous material "Battle Magic". Heartfelt recitative Byron is taken to the quick, the magnificent music mesmerizes. More pathos, more natetuku! Hail to Bal-Sagoth!!! #######%%::####%:# LUX OCCULTA ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Major Arcana" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (*) #%#. Polish melodic doom-black at a dark tempo. Noticeable plenty of keyboards and typical vocals for both styles. Nice listen, especially since the album is quite diverse and not merges with the gray background of other similar groups. ###### #%%::####%:# SAMAEL ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Eternal" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (***) #%#.Grand Master Xytraguptor with his brother Vorphalack again released a good dark sympho-black album. This is not a "Passage" clone, a logical continuation on a new level. Electronics noticeable more, but this does not spoil the material in any way. And even computer perversions on vocals, it turns out, sound great if served with ymom. The album was played with soul and with full dedication. This is aerobatics! ###### #%%::####%:# DEMONIAC ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "The Fire And The Wind" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (**) #%#. Veselukha! This is the only word that can describe the new heavy/trash/black album by a band that has been around for several years now black stage (although I haven’t heard the previous things). What else is possible say if while the song "Demons Of The Night" is playing can you imagine a crowd of drunken demons screaming in the ass, hugging,with mugs of beer in their paws and bawling songs? In the background heavy motives, cool goblin :-) vocals. Super fast melodious and most importantly - fun! ###### #%%::####%:# WHITE SKULL ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Tales From The North" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (**) #%#. Studio "Moon Records" (certainly taking care of buyer) decided not to spend money on extra paint on the inserts, to print the line-up of a new speed metal band. But there is suspicion that they were going to play music reminiscent of creativity of Running Wild are far from beginners, especially if in on two songs the legendary vocals are unmistakably recognizable Boltendahl (Grave Digger). This time we are not pirates - we Vikings, sailing the seas and oceans and from time to time betraying the innocent joys of life - debauchery and drunkenness.Romance!.. How always: metal is for boys, ballads are for girls. A fans of Grave Digger will be especially happy (as you already understood), Running Wild and... W.A.S.P., as there is some similarity vocals ###### #%%::####%:# LIMBONIC ART ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Epitome Of Illusions" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (***) ###%#. Sympho dark black metal art with ambient elements. The thorny road of magic can lead to disaster if fail to subjugate the power of dark forces in time. Full depth crazy art in this album. Already the third material from two really cool guys. Beautiful, strong and, most importantly, professionally. Slightly in a different vein than Bal-Sagoth, but cosmic motifs and the dust of star treks are felt here in to a sufficient extent. Open the door to something different for yourselfmeasurement! #%%::####%:# DIMMU BORGIR ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Spiritual Black Dimensions" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (**) #%#. Finally, everyone has waited for the new creation of the Borgirs. This is for you not the previous albums. Still sympho-black in my style, but now it’s super confusing and super difficult to understand. If you could relax and listen to "Entroned Darkness Triumphant" drink a cup of coffee, then now plunge into a trance and tense all your senses, preparing to fully experience each of the 64 mixed tracks on the album. Very difficult melody That's why I never fully penetrated the Black Dimension. But, those However, I highly recommend purchasing it, since this music is real poison chalice of blood for you! ###### #%%::####%:# SUMMONING ####:#####%:#%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Stronghold" #### ## ##:# # ####%: (**) #%#. Sillenius and Protector are at their best again. In the best traditions "Dol Guldur" and "Nightshade Forest", ambient atmosperic-black c characteristic hoarse whisper instead of standard blacker ones screaming. One composition especially stands out - it contains female vocals (!), not to mention a completely different character music. But, in general, as always, but one step higher. For those who does not know this gang, but enters the work of Mortiis - I recommend! Turn it on full blast and take it off the shelf "The Silmarillion". ###### #%%::####%:# SATYRICON ####:#####%: #%#########% # ###% ##### "Rebel Extravaganza" # #: # ##### ## ##:# # ####%: (***) #%#. Grunt and squeal with joy, fans of the great Satyr, because here it is - a new super album from distant Norway! Despite prophecies of "well-wishers" are still for real heavy metal black metal music. Only now on new level. The problem of introducing electronics into metal does not give Even Orthodox Christians can sleep peacefully, but the main thing is not to overdo it! And in in this case it was possible, which, in principle, was what everyone expected from masters of black. And what makes me incredibly happy, Mother North, is These are vocal excrements! (here: "Mother North" - folk Norwegian curse word. Roughly translated as "yours" mother"). ###### #%%::####%:# EVOL ####:#####%: #%#########% 1999 # ###% ##### # #: # # "Portraits" #### ## ##:## ####%: (***) #%#. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since the previous "Dreamquest" full-scale album of this famous atmospheric black groups. And finally, after the release of the mini, they gave birth to a new one creation. Wonderful intro and outro, Italian folk outpourings and beautiful melodic things along with classic vocals of this style - that's what this one does The material is really great. Love=evoL! So my review for today has come to an end. It so happened that at the moment I remembered practically the best thing that I heard recently and it was very difficult to choose any three things for my all-time hit parade. But still, reluctantly heart (I would put most things first), I did it. And now - happily.
