Apparently, NORDEN was originally created under the influence of BATHORY's Viking albums, and nothing has changed over the past years. \u201cZ popio\u0142\u00f3w i krwi ...\u201d offers an honest BATHORY worship with really good music, which is very difficult to listen to because of the dull vocals. The double vocal track consists of a muffled muttering past notes and creaky declamations with no more energy than in a burned-out fuse. It\u2019s a pity, because with such songs as \u201cPowiedz, ojcze ...\u201d, the album could lay claim to the laurels of the Polish \u201cTwilight of the Gods\u201d. The record closes with a cover of \u201cThe Lake\u201d, to which all of the above applies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CORONARY \u2013 Demo 2018<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span> 2018<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> self-release<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6 \/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heavy Metal from the long-haired Finnish dudes, bassist of KORPIKLAANI is among them. Despite the vigor and good musical quality of the material, it does not cause associations with those bands that created the Heavy Metal scene, but rather with those that came to it for their five minutes of fame. Although the project, which is quite obvious, was created for nostalgic reasons, therefore it should be absolutely honest...

The disc contains a mediocre American fantasy Death Metal with a lousy sound, generously seasoned with independent keyboard fragments \/ tracks, which, oddly enough, turned out to be even more boring.

Against the background of, say, the new REIDO album, the debut brick of the French EPITAPHE already seems somewhat avant-garde. The label characterizes the band's style as the \"funeral death metal\", which is perfectly true. Initially, it seems that this is not a very traditional funeral death doom, but then you understand that in fact it is Death Metal performed at a lower speed, and it\u2019s quite technical. When the music picks up speed, it becomes more obvious. Nevertheless, the British label in many respects remains true to itself: \u201cI\u201d is difficult to compare or match with anything. The only banal thing here is the album's name. The album will not appeal to everyone - it\u2019s in a very hostile mood, and those who are able to overcome emotional pressure and withstand the monstrous duration of songs will be tested by complex song structures (surprisingly, not copying masters of dissonance, such as GORGUTS or ULCERATE).It is amazing that such a large-scale work can be taken from the band's Bandcamp for free - take the opportunity, but then buy the CD, this album deserves your investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=339208228\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=2ebd35\/package=534474117\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/epitaphe.bandcamp.com\/album\/i-2\">I by Epitaphe<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>COMANDO PRAETORIO \u2013 Ignee sacert\u00e0 ctonie<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span> 2019<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/atmf.net\/\">Aeternitas Tenebrarum Musicae Fundamentum<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7,2 \/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This album, created in Italy, has extremely interesting content that you can look at superficially by clicking on the full-screen Bandcamp page link below and reading the press release.
