Each member of MIDNIGHT DICE has a fairy rich list of participations in good underground metal bands, both classical and extreme. I will not list them, since there are too many. The style of MIDNIGHT DICE is quite simple; there are no intricate 6-guitar compositions or huge acoustic interludes during which you forget what the song was about. Chopped riffs, \"squares\u201c, good solos  in the right places, as well as bright sound, excellent vocals and the soulful aura of the 80s - that's what \"Hypnotized\" has to offer. The song \"Starblind\" is a one hundred percent hit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3327208864\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e99708\/package=3302009760\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midnightdice.bandcamp.com\/album\/hypnotized\">Hypnotized by Midnight Dice<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>SLAVIA &#8211; Echo pradawnej wiary<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2023<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.werewolf-promotion.pl\/\">Werewolf Promotion<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6&nbsp;\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The fact that Polish musicians continue to support paganism and convey the spirit of their land through metal is good. The bad thing is that it does not work successfully in some forms. For example, the young SLAVIA project, which sings on themes as old as Poland itself, sounds so intense that it seems it is about to burst like a stretched string. Even during interludes. And it's kind of hard for me to understand how all this fits in with the \u201crevival of the Slavic faith\". The band NORTH, for example, could allow itself non-stop blasting, as its sound breathed deep antiquity. SLAVIA sounds very modern, standard, and most of the music of the project can also be the basis for both evil Pagan metal or Orthodoxal Black Metal. I did not find anything interesting here, although it is clear that the man worked really hard, I give him his due.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Slavia - Echo Pradawnej Wiary (debut album 2023 full streaming)\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_AE75lRX7Dtw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/AE75lRX7Dtw\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AE75lRX7Dtw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT33M13S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-06-23T17:45:40Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_AE75lRX7Dtw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/AE75lRX7Dtw\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Slavia - Echo Pradawnej Wiary (debut album 2023 full streaming)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/AE75lRX7Dtw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/AE75lRX7Dtw\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Slavia - Echo Pradawnej Wiary (debut album 2023 full streaming)\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Slavonic Heathen Black Metal from Poland.

I noticed this project because Tern drew the cover for it. Obviously, this is a solo work recorded at a home studio, since everything sounds pretty crappy, and the rhythm is set by a drum machine. FROSTY TORMENT copes with its simple task - to create an image of suffering and death among the ruthless glaciers. The music of the project is very outdated (in a bad way), but unlike the above-described SLAVIA, where everything is done much better, it more or less works.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Frosty Torment - Death In Icy White \/ CD preview 2022\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_ZOpsyrpyhg4\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ZOpsyrpyhg4\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZOpsyrpyhg4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT10M16S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-02-02T18:08:45Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_ZOpsyrpyhg4\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ZOpsyrpyhg4\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Frosty Torment - Death In Icy White \/ CD preview 2022<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZOpsyrpyhg4\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ZOpsyrpyhg4\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Frosty Torment - Death In Icy White \/ CD preview 2022\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"https:\/\/str-hold.com\/produkt\/frosty-torment-death-in-icy-white-standard-cd Frosty Tormet debut album - &quot;Death in Icy White&quot;, released in a limited version to 500 copies on CD, (of which 100 copies with SLIPCASE cover ).

This Norwegian band is shamelessly acting as a substitute for BLACK WITCHERY while the latter are doing hell knows what. This time, the Norwegians made themselves a PROCLAMATION-style cover, but otherwise the essence has not changed. Of course, GOATKRAFT doesn't have half the talent and that animalistic, innate feeling of <em>trueness<\/em>, which is inherent in BLACK WITCHERY, but, as they say, if there are no fish, a mushroom is also good. The guys do their goat business diligently. My claim remains the same, and it concerns the vocalist\/guitarist. Damn it, start ROARING already, make it a total fucking INFERNO OF SACRED DESTRUCTION instead of some half-assed eternal damnation!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 820px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1338626245\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e32c14\/package=1921169114\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goatkraft.bandcamp.com\/album\/prophet-of-eternal-damnation\">Prophet of Eternal Damnation by Goatkraft<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>V\u00d6MITT &#8211; Speed Metal Shock<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2023<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> self-release<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7,5 \/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finally, about eternal values. The young Romanian duo V\u00d6MITT released their debut EP \"Speed Metal Shock\" a year ago. What could it be? Dirty, grimy, soot-stained speedy metal about tits and Satan, of course! For some reason, I got the impression that the guys didn't create this record for too long, but everything turned out great. I would especially like to note the play of bass guitar tone,  the simplest technique that we remember from \u201cDie in Fire\u201d, and mandatory for this style. With it, even a modest Romanian band can stand next to BATHORY and VENOM for a few minutes, and without it, shit like MIDNIGHT most often turns out. Romanians decided to be V\u00d6MITT, not shit, and it was the right choice!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 555px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2533913991\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vomitt.bandcamp.com\/album\/speed-metal-shock\">Speed Metal Shock by V\u00f6mitt<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>106-\u044b \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u043a\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0445 \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u045e.
