I doubt the latter a little, because otherwise he would have known about my attitude towards DS\"BM\", but I always try to fulfill requests, so here we go. MRAKOMOR, as it turned out, has been around since 2006, that is, since the heyday of the style. However, he has been on hiatus for the last 10 years, and for some reason decided to return in 2023. I hope this does not mean that the trend for depressive namby-pamby  is returning. One way or another,  the creativity of MRAKOMOR does not differ from the style samples of ten or fifteen years ago. A shitty home recording with a terribly loud sound, scanty vocals (well, at he doesn't shriek like a dog that was cut alive, thanks for that), primitive mournful riffs - everything is as we (don't) like. In the fourth track, there is a keyboard part,  if you can call it that, which makes the sound a little better. Of course, in my life I have heard a lot of much, <em>significantly<\/em> worse DS\"BM\" records. Against their background\u201d V dek\u00e1d\u00e1ch dekadence \" does not look that terrible. But in general, of course, I don't understand who needs it and why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 621px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=725246786\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mrakomor.bandcamp.com\/album\/v-dek-d-ch-dekadence-in-decades-of-decadence-ep\">V DEK\u00c1D\u00c1CH DEKADENCE (IN DECADES OF DECADENCE) (EP) by MRAKOMOR<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>WAMPYRIC RITES \/ FUNERAL FULLMOON &#8211; Spectral Shadows of the Forgotten Castle<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2020<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipr666shop.com\/\">Inferna Profundus Records<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6,8&nbsp;\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the many releases of a talented Latin American plagiarism club called Pure Raw Underground Black Metal Plague. Here we have a very clumsy \"vampyric\" Black Metal which Inferna Profundus Records has undoubtedly been obsessed with lately, but we must give it to our Southern American friends: they managed to embody this theme in a traditional sound better than most thematic groups. Tracks from WAMPYRIC RITES show hunger and the blood fury of vampire nature, while FUNERAL MOON focuses more on eternal themes like solitude and the sadness of endless existence. The minimum program has certainly been completed, although I still have a feeling of some kind of falsity of the vampire theme In Black Metal. Maybe because all these vvhampyrrhick bands simply do not differ from each other?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 721px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3002140249\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=311726959\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infernaprofundusrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/spectral-shadows-of-the-forgotten-castle\">Spectral Shadows of the Forgotten Castle by Wampyric Rites \/ Funeral Fullmoon<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>92-\u0456 \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u043a\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0445 \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u045e.
