Carpatus "Malus Ascendant" Review

Brazilian Black Metal Misanthropist Carpatus consist of two members Dizruptor(Guitar, Bass & Vocals) & Animus Atra(Drums), the band formed in 2009 releasing two albums Out Of The Desolation Planet & Procellarum then went hiatus for six years only to resurrect the ancient fires in 2015 and unleash this maelstrom of maliciousness entitled Malus Ascendant.

 Combining a rawness & grimness very prevelent with the aesthestics of Second Wave Black Metal Carpatus  take the listener through tales of misanthropy, desolation & misery, The extremely prominent vocals remind me of early Satyricon added with  the lo-fi Guitar sound very prevelent on In The Nightside Eclipse era Emperor giving the whole package a somewhat atmospheric vibe, this release has many elements that will grab the listeners attention,buzzsaw guitar riffs,atmosphere,grimness,nastily malicious vocals and epic drum fills.

Carpatus have well and truly resurrected the ancient fires with an absolute killer album,it's like they never went on hiatus for six years; This release is not for the faint of heart or the weak minded, if you're looking for malicious, misanthropic & raw Black Metal this release is what you should be listening to,
BLACK FUCKING METAL DEATH TO FALSEHOODS!!!!

Imago Mortis "Transcendental" Review

Brazilain Doom Metal merchants Imago Mortis came into existence in 1995,thus far they've released two demos.one EP & three full length albums Images from The Shady Gallery, Vida: The Play of Change & this their most recent album Transcendental.

 This is a truly spectacularly epic album with an abundance of atmosphere,emotion and passion; The band are primarliy a Doom Metal band but there's elements of Progressive soundscapes running throughout the album which adds a somewhat refreshing vibe to the whole package, Vocalist Alex Voorhees has an unbelievably powerful vocal range at times similar to the legendary Messiah Marcolin,the musicianship on this album is absolutely stellar with the Keyboards adding an eerily haunting atmosphere to proceedings, With each listen of this album there always seems to be something new grabbing my attention making the whole album thoroughly enjoyable.

Imago Mortis are a group of highly talented musicians who have released a fantastic album of epic proportions, This is well worth a prolonged listen from anyone fanatical about Doom Metal as there's plenty of worthwhile delivered by the band.
MEET THY MAKER & PREPARE TO BE DOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!

Archityrants "Black Water Revelation" Review

Formed in 1998 under the moniker of A Tribute to The Plague, the band changed their name in 2007 to Archityrants, hailing from Curitiba, Brazil they deliver an epic brand of Heavy/Doom Metal similar to such luminaries as Candlemass & Solstice, this is their full length debut(as Archityrants) and was released in 2011.

This album has everything a Traditional Doom fan would enjoy, emotion,passion, beautifully crafted musicianship, darkness & melancholy in vast abundance all melded into epic song structures, the bands vocalist has unbelievable range adding a power that just catapults the music to a different stratosphere best potryed on Poison of Father is His Poisonous Son & Melancholic Sings of The Soul, most of the tracks on offer have great quality that will demand your attention,this is an album that gets better with numerous plays,each time something you didn't notice on a previous listen will grab your attention making it a very addictive listen.

Archityrants have masses of potential, with the right label and a few more releases they'll get a lot more exposure within the International Metal community, i for one will be paying very close attention to them in the future and hopefully they are sucessful in future endeavours.
KEEP IT TRUE KEEP IT METAL!!!!!!
