Then I was delighted with the ardent energy of the American group and its 100% old-school style. As it turned out, BEWITCHER is best taken in small doses. \u201cUnder the Witching Cross\u201d, being sustained in the spirit of Heavy \/ Speed \u200b\u200bMetal with a bit of devilry, or some reason begins to tire after 5 minutes. Perhaps the main fault lies with extremely inexpressive vocals, but the music is quickly losing its catchiness as well. Usually I like albums similar to \u201cUnder the Witching Cross\u201d, but this record just doesn\u2019t work for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 787px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=583858159\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=4ec5ec\/package=2480178743\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shadowkingdomrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/under-the-witching-cross\">Under The Witching Cross by Bewitcher<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>GRIFTESKYMFNING \u2013 Bedr\u00f6velsens H\u00e4rd<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span>\u00a02019<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sub.darker-than-black.com\/signup\">Darker Than Black Records<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7 \/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another new album from the members of GRAV.

PE, like their Finnish split partners, are adherents of the most primitive occult metal once represented by the great BEHERIT. However, there is less chaos. Aside from that, everything is as it should be: from a dull analog sound to burping vocals and synthesizer parts made from one note. All in all, everything is perfectly fine, but for some reason it leaves me indifferent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 687px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=578132895\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=2ebd35\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nuclearwarnowproductions.bandcamp.com\/album\/nighermancie-black-candle-invoker\">Nighermancie \/ Black Candle Invoker by Perverted Ceremony \/ Witchcraft<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>PLAGUE WEAVER \u2013 Plague Weaver<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span>\u00a02019<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span>\u00a0self-release<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6\u00a0\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A project of former bassist of AZARATH and DAMNATION, who emigrated to Canada. Dark doomy metal with anti(?)religious themes, made in a not very carefully disguised home sound. Pretty solemn music, but, in my opinion, its path does not lead anywhere. Rather, it's just a personal statement about something important to the author. However, the release of EP this year indicates that the musician has some ambitious plans, so I am probably wrong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 522px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3681148160\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plagueweaver.bandcamp.com\/album\/plague-weaver-ep\">Plague Weaver EP by PlagueWeaver<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>ARES KINGDOM \u2013 By the Light of Their Destruction<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span>\u00a02019<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwnprod.com\">Nuclear War Now!

Something in the music of these respected people breaks me. In general, they are great: they have both aggression and youthful anger, real militancy (with such a name, it can be only that way!). There is a living spirit of a very old school, and they play\u00a0<em>riffs<\/em>. However, their music is too American for me, or something. It feels like second grade classic Death Metal from Florida.
