NECROPHOBIC & DIMMU BORGIR
Sampler CD:
01. THE STONE ‘Mrtvog Negativ’
Decades of experience on the Serbian metal scene has magnified the hate to release a new album where black metal is again dark, menacing, vicious, and remarkably aggressive.

With their sixth album, the Chicago based quartet discloses a facet that not only brings the best out of the band but surpasses all their previous death metal attempts.

Gathering some of the best musicians of the metal scene and the motivation to create an interesting blend of old school death metal, this immediately aroused the attention of fans of the genre.

A passage through the world of occult doom metal, based on the very early “rockish” period of the genre where bands focused on creating horror driven melodies full of character and lasting patterns.
05. UNDERSAVE

Death metal brutality taken to an extreme, violent, and compelling edge that will satiate the hunger of ruthless metal fans.

08. PETRIFICATION ‘Hollow Of The Void’
Oppressive and doom-laden death metal structures that brew old school European influences, especially from the Finnish scene.

13. SOLFERNUS ‘Once Upon A Time In The East’
With a twelve year gap in between albums, the Czechs now return fronted by Root’s bass player for a more diversified offering, where in the place of furious blasting tempos has grown emotion, a vital black metal aura, and a dynamism not found previously.
14. MACABRE DECAY ‘Angel Of Decay’
Displaying their Swedish death metal heritage on a debut that mixtures raw tradition with a strong impetus to sound exciting.

Digging graves might be something that the Czech thrash metal quartet does for fun, yet on their debut album they seem quite alive.

The return of one of the cult Spanish death metal acts of the early ‘90s with a second album that combines both enthusiasm and liveliness – a recipe for success!
11. NAWABS OF DESTRUCTION
THE MERCILESS
Bangladesh might not be an ideal place for metal, however the duo shows that exoticism and greatness can coexist anywhere.
12. EMBLOODYMENT
MASTER OF DISASTER
At a time when the world seems to be a big circus, the Spanish quartet violently squash clown heads with a bat and death metal.
13. JUST DARKNESS
BETWEEN BIRTH AND DEATH
Taking off the hoods of the Russian anonymous duo just to catch a glimpse of uncanny blinding blackness with the certainty that dismay will fade away…
14. THE FLESH TRADING COMPANY
BLACK SPELL CONSPIRACY
Don’t be fooled by the way that the German quintet shares the devil’s potion! In the end, your soul will be collected with a grim smile…
15. VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC
AGAINST HUMANS, AGAINST ANIMALS, AGAINST EVERYTHING
Vaginal penetration of an amelus with a musty carrot…that sounds wickedly fun! Austrian grinding, plain and simple.
16. DISINFECT
WHITE LIGHTNING
After a decade without releasing anything new, the Germans gain a vehemence for the sort of guttural brutality that hides more than meets the eye on the third album.
17. HANGATYR
BLICK AUS EIS
Coldness creates the sort of numbness that, depending on the environment, might culminate in total bleakness. The German quartet walk the path of severe desolation…
18. HARSH
BIPOLAR CONFRONTATION
Recording in just one take gives the sort of viscerality and liveness that propels the intensity of vicious brutal death metal.

Features:
ASPHYX – Cooked under restrictive lockdown measures, the tenth full-length album “Necroceros” by the genre-defining Dutch quartet Asphyx is everything that fans would expect, and perhaps even more. Partly influenced by the state of the world, death is for that matter much present, like it has always been, yet the way that fearful topic is introduced alongside various historic and war-related themes gives it a more realistic, aggressive edge.

Features:
IMPALED NAZARENE – the fuck off attitude of the Finns is simply infectious and indicative of a posture that is usually spread across extreme fans. The scene might have evolved during the past 3 decades, especially the black metal one where they suit best, but the non-conformists have the very same essence that pushed them to become one of the most extreme bands in the first place. For many the words “Norz Norz Norz” might not stand for much, but for the quartet they mean everything!
INFERNO – disturbing journey through suffering and despair
AT THE GATES – progressing using alluring expansive melodies
NETHERBIRD – black metal gaining new dimensions of melody and fuzz

SOBRE O ÁLBUM:
Regimes políticos se erguem e caem. As estrelas brilham e desaparecem. Tendências vêm e vão. Mas o MINISTRY continua vivo. A multiplatinada banda, seis vezes indicada ao prêmio GRAMMY®, fundada e liderada por Al Jourgensen, penetrou nos cantos mais sombrios da cultura popular e infectou o mainstream por mais de quatro décadas, vomitando alegremente bile sônica entre as rachaduras da fachada do sistema. Nascidos nos anos 1980, eles sobreviveram aos anos 1990, resistiram à virada do século e até mesmo sobreviveram a uma maldita pandemia. No entanto, o MINISTRY não mostra sinais de parar ou diminuir o ritmo - nem mesmo por um pequeno instante. Em vez disso, a banda ? composta pelo "Tio Al", John Bechdel (teclados), Monte Pittman (guitarra), Cesar Soto (guitarra), Roy Mayorga (bateria) e Paul D’Amour (baixo) - lança mais uma explosão de metal industrial antológico em seu 16º álbum de estúdio intitulado "HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES". As guitarras rasgam, a bateria ressoa e Al está tão rabugento como sempre em relação a um mundo fodido que precisa de um pontapé no traseiro.
Como sempre, ele está apenas olhando em volta para o mesmo lixão que nós estamos, mas a diferença é que ele tem um microfone na mão.
"Assim como você ou qualquer outra pessoa, sou simplesmente um passageiro nesta vida", observa ele. "Estou observando as mudanças sociais, políticas e econômicas, e comento sobre elas porque tenho o direito da Primeira Emenda. Muitas pessoas dizem que artistas e atletas devem se calar e apenas jogar bola. Não, eu também estou nessa viagem. Se eu vejo alguma coisa, digo algo. Isso se reflete na direção que toma cada álbum. Em vez de ficar sedentário e cantar sobre relacionamentos rompidos, turbulência interior ou o que quer que esteja prejudicando a nossa semana, eu falo sobre o que está acontecendo a partir da perspectiva de um companheiro de viagem".
Dizer que foi uma jornada e tanto para o MINISTRY pode ser o eufemismo do século...
A história do MINISTRY abrange clássicos revolucionários, incluindo os destaques certificados com disco de ouro "The Land Of Rape And Honey" (1988) e "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste" (1989), bem como o certificado com disco de platina "Psalm 69" (1992) que foi incluído na cobiçada lista dos "100 maiores álbuns de metal de todos os tempos" da revista Rolling Stone. A música deles fez parte de filmes e séries de televisão de grande sucesso como RoboCop, Matrix, A.I. de Steven Spielberg (no qual os músicos apareceram na tela a pedido do falecido Stanley Kubrick) e até Atomic Blonde (com um cover do compositor Tyler Bates e Marilyn Manson). Eles até criaram uma música-tema oficial para o time de hóquei sobre gelo Chicago Blackhawks.
Eles também receberam seis indicações ao GRAMMY® na categoria de "Melhor Performance de Metal". E não podemos esquecer todas as colaborações já feitas, desde o escritor americano William S. Burroughs até Jello Biafra do Dead Kennedys e Gibby Haynes do Butthole Surfers. Seu circo itinerante (o verdadeiro grande espetáculo da Terra) recebeu grandes artistas como Joey Jordison do Slipknot, Nivek Ogre do Skinny Puppy, Burton C. Bell do Fear Factory, e dezenas de outros que também fizeram parte dessa sua trupe insana. Eles são uma rara força da natureza, dividindo os holofotes com bandas como Nine Inch Nails, Death Grips, Slayer e Gary Numan. O álbum "Moral Hygiene" de 2021 deu início a uma outra era. O disco foi aclamado pela crítica e incluído nas listas de fim de ano de revistas eletrônicas como Consequence of Sound e Loudwire e a sua turnê de divulgação esgotou todos os ingressos.
Mas eles continuaram, indo direto com a força de um trem de carga descontrolado para o que se tornaria "HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES". Conduzido por Al, esse trem foi impulsionado pela força do coletivo - uma novidade para o MINISTRY após duas décadas e um retorno aos álbuns seminais.
"Acho que este é o disco do MINISTRY que mais soa como MINISTRY que eu já fiz, porque foi gravado por uma banda real com a qual eu sempre estive na estrada", afirma Al. "Esta é a primeira vez em 20 e poucos anos que não fomos apenas eu e um engenheiro. O ’Filth Pig’ e o ’Psalm 69’ eram, em grande parte, ’projetos de banda’. Portanto, isso remete aos nossos primórdios, quando éramos um grupo que funcionava da mesma forma na turnê e no estúdio. Nós realmente conhecíamos as tendências uns dos outros".
O MINISTRY nos apresentou "HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES" com o single ’Goddamn White Trash’, onde os sintetizadores pulsam sob um sample robótico pontuado por um apelo: "Precisamos de sua ajuda". Um riff sombrio serpenteia em torno de uma percussão propulsiva, abrindo caminho para um gancho hipnótico e o gemido de um solo repleto de efeito wahwah.
Depois temos ’Just Stop Oil’ com fraseados staccatos que sublinham os venenosos versos enquanto Al pondera: "Quem é o motorista do desastre que se aproxima?" No verdadeiro estilo MINISTRY, a distorção se transforma em uma inesperada guitarra de surf.
’Big Dick Energy’ se baseia em um coro forte e em um groove de guitarra arrastado, enquanto Al lamenta: "Um homenzinho tóxico com um plano tóxico".
Em outro lugar, riffs caóticos dão o tom para a cataclísmica e cativante ’New Religion’. Enquanto as guitarras se chocam, Al repete um lamento como uma oração: "Isso simplesmente não está certo".
"Nossa nova religião são as mídias sociais", ele suspira. "Quantas curtidas você consegue não é muito diferente de ir a uma igreja católica e contar quantas bênçãos você recebe. Eu testemunhei isso pessoalmente com amigos, bem, ex amigos agora. É a religião deles que deve ser verificada por algoritmos. Pessoalmente, não acho que tenha nada acima de um iPhone 5. Sou um OG. Normalizamos as redes sociais, mas isso não é normal. Já vi vidas serem arruinadas pela era da desinformação. Esse é um tema recorrente".
No final das contas, o MINISTRY ainda tem muito gás para gastar e Al vai enfrentar conosco a tempestade de merda por vir por mais algum tempo.
"Obviamente, espero que você saia dizendo: ’Caramba, esses velhos ainda sabem fazer rock’", ele ri. "Tento manter todo mundo na expectativa. É um disco bastante divertido. Nós evoluímos de forma orgânica e natural. Eu não sou de dizer isso, mas estou muito feliz com este álbum", ele diz sorrindo.

POSTERS
NECROPHOBIC & DIMMU BORGIR
01. THE STONE ‘Mrtvog Negativ’
Decades of experience on the Serbian metal scene has magnified the hate to release a new album where black metal is again dark, menacing, vicious, and remarkably aggressive.
02. CARDIAC ARREST ‘It Takes Form’
With their sixth album, the Chicago based quartet discloses a facet that not only brings the best out of the band but surpasses all their previous death metal attempts.
03. VORACIOUS SCOURGE ‘Fortuity Of The Deceived’
Gathering some of the best musicians of the metal scene and the motivation to create an interesting blend of old school death metal, this immediately aroused the attention of fans of the genre.
04. ABYSMAL GRIEF ‘Ruthless Profaners’
A passage through the world of occult doom metal, based on the very early “rockish” period of the genre where bands focused on creating horror driven melodies full of character and lasting patterns.
05. UNDERSAVE
‘Hereditary Condemnation Through Immunity’
A vile response from the Portuguese scene towards some of the best US death metal bands. On “Sadistic Iterations…” they have evolved and introduced more variation to the compositions.
06. ENDLESS ‘Destroy My Life’
Death metal brutality taken to an extreme, violent, and compelling edge that will satiate the hunger of ruthless metal fans.
07. DRUKNROLL ‘Unbalanced’
Compelled with a type of strength not seen in many established bands, the Russians cross frontiers with their intricate and progressive mix of styles.
08. PETRIFICATION ‘Hollow Of The Void’
Oppressive and doom-laden death metal structures that brew old school European influences, especially from the Finnish scene.
09. KYTERION ‘Cerbero Il Gran Vermo’
Being sung in the 13th century Italian vernacular language undoubtedly emphasizes the vicious tremolo patterns, making this enigmatic band so enthralling.
10. BLACK ALTAR ‘Tophet’
Main man Shadow surrounded himself with talented and well-known musicians for an emotional farewell to one of Beastcraft’s founding members, Alastor Nefas.
11. EXEKUTION ‘Epic Hangover’
Though nuclear radiation and alcohol might be the sole cause for such effusive thrash metal rhythms, it’s in the playground that they have fun.
12. SURGERY ‘Paradise’
Despite not being a new band nor youngsters any more, they managed to fuse pure energy and intensity with death metal on their 2nd opus from Support Underground!
13. SOLFERNUS ‘Once Upon A Time In The East’
With a twelve year gap in between albums, the Czechs now return fronted by Root’s bass player for a more diversified offering, where in the place of furious blasting tempos has grown emotion, a vital black metal aura, and a dynamism not found previously.
14. MACABRE DECAY ‘Angel Of Decay’
Displaying their Swedish death metal heritage on a debut that mixtures raw tradition with a strong impetus to sound exciting.
15. BATTLESWORD ‘Tongues Of Hatred’
Melodic death metal full of intensity, passion and lively rhythmic intricacies that display a German quintet in their fullness.
16. ELÄNDE ‘Preludium’
Roughly translated as “Kingdom of Death”, the debut album of this Norwegian trio is heavily influenced by the glorious early ‘90s Scandinavian black metal scene.
