This is OBITUARY, this is groove, these are great melodic solos that clung to the band during the period with Ralph Santola, and they have remained, although Ralph himself left us a long time ago. A very good record.

It was almost a perfect nosferatu metal that filled my soul with a genuine horror. Having become a little tidier and masterful, KROLOK became the head of the modern Carpathian metal movement, and, oddly enough, I have nothing to complain about. They do everything exactly right, with understanding and depth, but for some reason their music leaves me indifferent. All I hear is a lot of interesting musical solutions that arouse my academic curiosity, and that's all. But I'm not listening to metal for that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 721px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=169752935\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=fe7eaf\/package=2298416416\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krolok.bandcamp.com\/album\/funeral-winds-crimson-sky\">Funeral Winds &amp; Crimson Sky by Krolok<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>HECATOMB &#8211; Horrid Invocations<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2020<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/invictusproductions.net\/\">Invictus Productions<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7,3\u00a0\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Furious metal of death and destruction in the best Australian traditions.

Black ambient and black metal from the darkest depths of South America. OLD CASTLES is more intense, WINTERSTORM is more depressive,  and both are more or less reminiscent of DROWNING THE LIGHT. As often happens in such cases, aesthetics plays a major role here, and the music itself is somewhat mediocre. Only the second metal track from OLD CASTLES is different, as well as a small instrumental from WINTERSTORM - because the latter was stolen from Russian band \u041c\u041e\u0420\u041e\u041a or from BBH.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 787px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1875140154\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=3036830757\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infernaprofundusrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/everlasting-black-arts-in-supreme-darkness\">Everlasting Black Arts in Supreme Darkness by Old Castles \/ Winterstorm<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>FUSTILARIAN &#8211; All This Promiscuous Decadence<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2021<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.amor-fati-productions.de\/de\/\">Amor Fati Productions<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5\u00a0\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Depressive - although you won't guess at first, because the album begins with frenzied rhytms and chainsaw guitars - metal from Portugal, dedicated to the vanity of human existence.
