Continuing the valiant tradition in the spirit of Demiurge Ash and
Jam'a, I'll tell you about musical groups that are completely
can rightly be called the tutahamu metal scene.
It just so happened that HeresY, in addition to Spectrum and isoterics
has become a stronghold not just of metal culture, but currently
moment there will be a preference for black metal, since it
direction is not just a musical direction and
subculture in the echelon of legions of metal, and individually
expressed, exceptional art, NOT focused on
the general public. We plan to regularly introduce readers to this
theme, naturally, without avoiding other manifestations
metal music.

| MAYHEM |
- - ------+
Legendary Norwegian band. Progenitor of black metal
in Norway (3rd Legion), as well as the entire modern revolution of black metal
(o Mayhem enough information has been posted in the past
number). It should be repeated that from the previous, original
the composition remained onlyhyperblast drummer Hellhammer,
the rest are dead (Dead, having “aired” his brains
drlbovikom, as well as the brutally murdered Varg'om Euronymous).
Ebpohumoyc was the main one in the so-called "Black Metal Mafia"
(which included many famous groups), which not in words, but
deeds helped to expel Christianity from their country and establish
the true faith of our ancestors (Scandinavian paganism). In the basement
studio Helvette records, in addition to rehearsals, wild
orgies and drunkenness, and then attacks were made to set churches on fire...
The modern composition of the group consists of high-quality, in my opinion
view, musicians and even, imho, in many ways superior to
quality of the previous composition. They play crushing armageddon. :)
Exactly, the music is hard, dry, and very aggressive! Saw cutters
guitar cuts in a killer combination with hellish
brain-crushing drum lines in the background
crazy-brutal howl with a very long ckpumom (processed,
apparently on a computer). All this is clearly without solo or folk inserts -
scary and beautiful! Pure true. Only for fans! This is exactly what
scares away half of the young connoisseurs of black metal, and in vain. Destroys
the psyche of ordinary people, but the “savvy” ones are very strong
nourishes spiritually! If you are in a good mood and want
cut, shred, or the soul sings - listen to Mayhemnew
sample.

| DISSECTION |
- - --------+
This group belongs to the category of gangs that sing in
in his work, the epic of our all-beloved uncle Tolkien. :)
The group also gained fame thanks to a loud scandal,
connected with Ion Nothdveit, who killed some
homosexual. (Follows directly in the footsteps of Faust/Emperor - ed.)
Don’t be lazy, get the group’s videos and stock up
lyrics - after reading them, you will either understand me or not,
depending on personal predisposition to the Dark Art,
to whom it is given (let me remind you once again, this is not aimed at
mass character!). Album "Storm of the Light's Bane" 1995
is exactly the piece of art I was talking about
above.
Yes, I forgot to say that Dissection is one of the few bands
despising"penguinism" - corpsepaint of faces. A la only clean
faces. :) For complete satisfaction, I advise you to find
clips/concert recordings of this band, and if you are also
Tolkienist...
Storm of the Light's Bane 1995

| IMMORTAL |
- - -------+
"Immortals" are probably one of the most "modest"
black bands of global scale - no atrocities, guts, heaps
blood, fire, explosions and other attributes that invariably accompany
many bands at concerts (remember the same "Cradles") only
only faces sternly painted with a black and white triangle
remind you in which direction the group is working. Enough
decent texts and ideological line: praise of the harsh,
poor northern nature, eternal cold and permafrost. Pride in
cold and reverence for it, which is already closely connected with the Scandinavian
paganism, and nothing less! The main thing is that the group is Norwegian, and
there are no Vikings and Scandinavian myths that filled some
a decent set of teeth. As the Abbot said: "This is such a fantasy -
imagine yourself as a demon from another world, finding yourself among
ice and white silence..." TextsImmortal is taught to respect and
to honor the great nature, to love and admire it. Besides,
a lot of attention is paid, as mentioned above, to Cold.
The music is unlike anything else, its own, original - rutaphoe
sawmill chopper and killer barrels, vocals, full
contempt and coldness, also unparalleled. No, the music is not
similar to MayheM, although I described them almost identically - y
Immortal has special guitar riffs and they are the ones that fascinate! B
the last albums have some hint of atmosphere, but this
does not spoil the sound at all, because sympho solutions tight
squeezed under a crushing layer of reefs. However, everything
Quite melodic - what else can you expect from Immortal? You can
would especially emphasize the fact that the team consists mainly
of two people - Abbath and Demonaz - people who do everything
music yourself! The rest just played along, helping with the recording
albums, changing like gloves. Starting with demos at 9 minutes, the group did not

The talent is obvious - listen to all the releases - they are good
absolutely EVERYTHING!

"Inspired to mortal
Ebony dressed for sunset
In the dulcet whispers
of the Damned..."
Cradle Of Film
...Black candles, forest whispering my name, Countess Bathory,
Gothic grandeur and... Yes, vampirism! Of course we are talking about
"Cradlah" - a legendary band from the island of fog
Albion. The guys opened up a completely new direction to the world
music - high vampiric gothic black metal. Start listening
I would recommend Blackukhu from this group. Believe me, she
worth it! The texts are very loading, kept in
Gothic-magical style, flavored with spiritual heritage
antiquity, nahteohom of ancient gods and demons, as well as vampirism,
vampirism and once again, vampirism!Download texts, translate them
translator and boot... True, there is one thing... The thing is,
that true black metal bands despise Cradle Of Filth
considering folkcom and trend for the fact that they seemed to have betrayed them,
commercialized black metal, thereby distorting it, making it like “pop” and
etc. pop nonsense. Indeed, if you listen to the albums
99 and 2001, you will understand how much has changed
sound compared to previous albums (to the album
This does not apply to "Midian" from 2000). And it’s no wonder that at least
and the last material is outright pop, but according to old merits
the group gathers stadiums of spectators, wheels across Europe, and musicians
live like kings.
So what do we have? The "correct" ones are, as always,
first albums, while the early stage of the group’s creativity was not yet
absorbed in commerce. So if you don't pay attention to
deeds and stage orientation, listen to early Cradle Of Filth.

| DIMMU BORGIR |
- - --------+
According to people involved in true black ideology, the group
is a model of posturing and trendiness, earning money from
glorification of Satan and Evil. Basically, to some extent, like
As one of my friends put it, “Dim Burger is overclocked doom.”
The guys were specifically promoted by the metal tycoon Nuclear Blast
records. But nevertheless, what is surprising: even the most sworn
enemies and unflinching true black metal heads of Haya "Borgirov", those
don't buy their new discs. :) Although, personally I don’t see anything
the bad thing is that Dimmu Borgir brought black-metal out of its depths
underground into commerce - if it does not harm the sound, then
why not make some money? After all, these are not oppressed “cradles”, but
decent sympho black. On the contrary, we should thank the guys for
promoting such extreme music to the masses... But what is this
concerns "spirituality". In musical aspects, Dimmu Borgir is not
is such a tasteless group. Everything is as it should be, in spirit
the last Legion to date. At least listen
Enthrone Darkness Triumphant album.
Concerts of "Dima Burger"This is a whole separate topic of conversation!
Personally, I liked it, despite the fact that their work -
trend, and the musicians themselves are posers. Vocalist Shagrath (later
who left for the group Kovenant) very skillfully plays to the public: his
"robes" are something! Either he is wrapped in a vampire cloak, or he is in
wristbands and spikes. Necessarily painted face, gestures
hands, in the background there is fire, torches and even naked
girls...

| SATYRICON |
- - -----+
One of the most famous black metal bands
repertoire. It was organized around 1991. (Frost and Satyr).
As you know, this was the era of fighters for the expulsion of Christianity from
Norway (Ebpohumyc - forever!). Early albums -true black,
late ones are no longer included in this category (at least older ones
blackers say so), although it’s nothing at all. Firstly
albums, the lyrics were predominantly in Norwegian, less in
English. Probably Satyricon was one of the first groups
showed a new, professional level of sound (sharply
different from the grindy black metal of Darkthrone or the primitive
Burzum). Frost and Satyr are very fond of a black cloak, leather boots,
spiked wristbands and faces a la body paint. Anger and contempt for
Christianity is evident even in the name of the group: SatYricon -
satire, i.e. parody, ridicule (hr-sva). For a clearer
To get the full picture, I highly recommend watching the video for the track
Mother North. The semantic load is very strong - Christianity
is identified with a vile mug, mottled with terrible patterns,
which reflects falsehood and hypocrisy. Naked girl
is identified with Mother Nature, and the ritual of bringing this
girls sacrificed implies bapbapckoe and devil-may-care
attitude of Christianity, which ruined respect for nature and its
camy. They say there are more clips, but I haven't seen them.
In later albums, musicians experiment with
sound, saturating it with new arrangement elements,
computer processing. When satiety occurs, it sounds
everything is somehow electronic,pop or something. But realizing my mistake,
musicians have returned, if not to their roots, then at least
ymepehhho synthesizing a new sound. But take for example
old album from '94 The Shadowthrone - it's not like
lyrics, but also music is literally imbued with the Nordic spirit:
Vikings, the clang of weapons, a male choir of warriors. Just listen and
enjoy.

and finally, I am enclosing material (reviews of new discs),
courtesy of Vampire:
ABIGOR: Mothers have been scaring their mothers for a long time with this group of demons
kids! “If you don’t obey, I’ll send you to ABIGOR.” B
This gloomy team includes another naughty boy
(drummer) Moritz Neuner, who, judging bynumber of groups in
which he participated - in general, the only drummer for the entire
Austria. After a new drummer appeared, the music
Abigor hasn't changed at all. Still the same specific
black, soaked in smoke from fires, which has been around for several years now
pleases his fans.
CRADLE OF FILTH: Scary. Beautiful. It's even terribly beautiful.
The album (judging by the time) is full-length, but essentially
inferior. There would be plenty of new compositions on muhboh,
the rest of the material was rewritten from old compositions.
The sound, by the way, is even worse than in the original 1994. But if
If something disturbs you in music, you can console yourself
leafing through a thick, colorful booklet.
DARK FUNERAL: So, Dark Funeral released another
full-length album "Diabolis In Interiun" (translated into
Russian - Inner Devil). Let's call it internal for brevity.
- by analogy with house and water. And more about ways to combat
(internally - you need to take it inside in moderation, then there are fewer devils
disturb).
DARKTHRONE: This is the throne, which is now a workplace for
2 kings of Fenriz and Nocturne Cult turned out to be not so simple
shake - he successfully resisted at the beginning all sorts of showdowns in
hytpuuscenes, and then newfangled trends and beer prices
Norway. Darkthrone is recognizable as always, but sounds narrower
modern and high quality.
DISBILIEF: Well, at least these Germans know what
They create: modern music, Death metal with industrial influences,
only without any of the snot that people love to spread these days
all sorts of Fear Factory and others like them. All leveled melodious
the roar of the vocalist, and the mercilessly monotonous rhymes and the same
composition structure.
GODS TOWER: Looking at the cover of the new album "Leave
hope" we can say that the album turned out so-so. That's how it is
it turned out that the Belarusians simply made covers of different
teams such as Aria, Black Sabbath, Europe and Remixes,
performed very casually and also recorded very
in an unforced way that did not even inspire his
fans, because the sound is stifled, paralytic repetition
the same moves and scandalously drunken vocals.
MAYHEM: Buoyed by success, latest album "Grand"
Declaration of War", the French decided to forge Season of Mist
black metal iron while it's still hot. The result
This approach was the disc "European Legions" consisting of two
parts: concert and studio. 7there were concert tracks
recorded from the Marseille concert in 1999. Second side
presented with 5 raw studio tracks. Mayhem doesn't sound
only worse, but also better than its final version. And still all
this material is intended only for maniacs of this group, and not
for those who consider Cradle of Filth, Dimmu the standard of black metal
Borgir.
