Nuclear Anticristo - Unholy Weapons Against Humanity



Damn this is an morbid demo! hehe

After the satanic movie sample (should i know from which movie this is from? Probably
some Fulci or Argento flick) the guttural wall of buzzsaw meatcleavers
blast you in the chin! All the acid fluids burn your skin and leaves an un-animated
corpse with a nasty grin on its bony face!
This thrashy blackened death music is sure pumping up ones panzer-blood!


Sure this is no doubt a goat/war metal attack in their traditional murder style
which means that you either love it or not.... lucky for me i already has a thing
for this type of relentless hellhole vomiting.

There are 4 tracks here which is not so much but the band has enough of personality
and dirt under their fingernails to make a mark.

Production is works well with its over powering force, vocals, strings, drums etc
is there and they are doing the job as they should! No more no less.

Time to hunt down the bands other releases now.




No prisoners survived

PreEmptive Strike 0​.​1 - Pierce their Husk


Now to something completely different!


Those who also have a thing for dark electro/techno stuff should take notice here!

Odium Records (Black Altar,Crepusculum , Thy Flesh) has recently opened a sub-division
 called Sonic Hell Records which is focusing in on electronic music that is from the other side, this is their first release!

Besides the Odium connection here we have Niklas Kvarforth (is he cloned?) as
guest vocals....and it works quite well i say. Sure the main music style here
is not what i listen to so i cant comment on the quality of it but Niklas
vocals blends nicely into the whole "body" of black shimmering zeros & ones.

The thematic seems to be something in the vain of Starship Troopers 2,0
considering the cover art but i cant say for sure.
But from the musics multi-layered semi-agro ambience it would
fit the mould of a new Starship Trooper movie sound track, nothing wrong in that.



Be sure to hunt it down if you are into this style of digital creations or if you just feel
curious about its exotic futuristic war compositions.


This is released on a cd (with extra tracks) & a 7"

Whoremouth




Of all the stuff i have reviewed here this is a release
that is probably the one that is most correct to
label "Noise", but besides from my lack of "noise" experience
this one was not so hard to digest...as an experience due
to its dramatic nature.

ILLNESS

I cant say if it has an "theme" or "story" but my reflections
of the "music" and the visuals on the cover and inside leads me to
think this is a really bad mindfuck! Like one is stuck in a void of
 guilt, prostitution, days in some  run down sanatorium...like one is in the
core of someones psychosis and cant breath...and then some more guilt!
Thats a nice feeling i can assure you!


XXXFUCKXXX

It has some kind of segments of real noisy electric overloads but
one can hear some voices whispering underneath it all...then there is some
calmer but colder parts...as i am not an expert in this field i cant comment on
the quality or non-quality of the technical part but for me it serves its purpose
well.

MISERY

All in all an uncomfortable tape which is exactly what its is supposed
to be... i guess. hehe

VERMAPYRE / Vehrmöedr split 7"

Here we have another split but with a quite different approach towards their musical endavours, First of we have the Belgium based cigar box horror maniacs Vermapyre!


For those who dont know what a cigar box guitar is i can tell you that is the most basic electric vile contrapment to be made... and its perfect for this noisy fright-mare relics that they do. It should be known that this is no mare noise band but rather a very old & raw sounding  "movie soundtrack"... as they themselves have stated that this is "Flickering imagery haunts, concealing the forgotten past of our vaudevillian apparition known as Vermapyre. Distorted, broken sounds from the deteriorated reels of many lost, 1920s silent era horror film devours the listener within the blackened, grit-pocked nightmare that is conjured through thee Vermapyres home-made electric cigar box guitar."
Yeah its just like that and i enjoyed it a lot! 

Feelings of gnarly pointy fingers in the shadows reaching out to pierce your smoke filled lungs... Hundred year old bat wings dust up the cave walls as they flaps their way out into the dead night air. 
The coffin worms awaits!



For the other side we found Vehrmöedr (Canada)...info about this band is quite harder to find but compared to Vermapyre this entity is sure fitting for this split. The first thats evident is that "their" sound is much thinner and more minimalistic, i guess the cigar box is used here too (now i know that they dont) but not in the same strong way... strings plinks here and dry low screams pours there. A much more suffocating style but quite interesting...  feels like the last hour of a ghouls flickering life. They are also connected to the label Under the Eye Productions.(Schattenreiner, Ossuary, Devotion)


All in all a ghastly split that i think many of you would like!
Great visual production also!
But that can anybody see anyways
Released on the bizarre label Negromancy (they also released HERXSEBET / WAMPHYRE split and VVLAD which is just as good!)

Förgjord / Nekrokrist SS

Here we have some Suomalaista Mustaa Metallia!!! (Finnish for "Finnish Black metal")
Damn this is a good split! A very forceful hold onto the great horns of the north!


These two bands serve up 8 songs filled with deep feelings and just as effectful compositions, they stand with two raw goat feet´s firmly in both the past of the cold early 90´s and their living horrors of the present.
Their melodies contains both the glorious melancholy of a past now in ruins and riffings that kills any opposer (& poser). quite long tracks (often in mid tempo) but they never falls into some dull slopes, all is well carved out with skill and all the parts fit together perfectly and builds up a wholeness & atmosphere that can be carved with a knife. (morakniv)
Much tasteful (wonder if that a fitting word for this..?) variation and dark ideas is stuffed into all the music from start to "finish". Empowering one minute and devastating in the next.

Production fits just as well with a just right rawness without leaving out any instruments, its cold feeling but at the same time not... vocals is both bone chilling screams and also some semi barking angry men... hehe but it works splendid.

Both bands share many audial & mental tastes which results in a split that molds very smoothly... i dont know shit about Finnish language (i wish i knew more then the a few cursewords) so i cant really tell anything about the lyrics but their music talks more then enough anyways so that does not really matter.... and i wont try to "Google translate" some lyrics cuz that will fuck to much with my mind haha!

All is super but my two pick out tracks would be: Förgjord - Mieltensä sairastama & Nekrokrist SS - Musta viha.

 
First i did not notice it but they did a quirky thing with the band logo combination! 

*Essential split in other words*

Track list:

1.     Förgjord & Nekrokrist SS - Jättäkää minut korpeille (osa 1.)
2.     Förgjord - Kasketun maan laulu         
3.     Förgjord - Mieltensä sairastama         
4.     Förgjord - Kerpeikkari         
5.     Nekrokrist SS - Musta viha         
6.     Nekrokrist SS - Tyhjyys         
7.     Nekrokrist SS - Hyljätty         
8.     Förgjord & Nekrokrist SS - Jättäkää minut korpeille (osa 2.)    

Released by: Hammer of Hate Records

Phosphore Blanc Interview!


1.Hails SKVMPAT!
I guess you are the one and only member of this musical-weapon?
As PB released its debut album this year what did you do before this
and what made you to put this band together?


- Hails! Yes, I am the only member, I'm more comfortable alone without external influences
regarding my projects. Before Phosphore Blanc, I had another black / death / rac project called MustardGaz, it lasted from 2008 to 2013. I didn't had any clue about mastering and mixing so it sounds quite raw. Released it only for my friends and knowledge circle.
I learned little by little how to record better and make it sounds as I want to.


 
2.The first album "Xenophobos" I think is a really interesting hard hitting
entity all from the poisonous neo-occultish cover art to the seven devastating tracks!
Please tell about the time creating this and what goal you had in mind?


- Thanks! I draw since childhood, I always picture things in my head that I have to put on paper.
Since a few years it is quite the same recurring avatars I draw for my projects, a skull headed larva / snake
and a gasmasked vulture with human torso I use within the MG and PB imagery.
I play music and draw according to my inspiration. I want to create my own symbolism and meanings,
visualizing this kind of pictures while listening to the stuff I do and vice versa.


 
3.I am no expert in weapons of war and all the evil stuff the military invents but
i think your band name is something that could "irritate" the skin if it came in contact
with it? hehe


- Hehehe yeah this is some sick shit! Love how the victims looks like after being exposed,
and what it does to the mind and spirit of the witnesses.
I was always attracted to the vicious, burning and corrosive weapons,
the stuff you can do homemade like combat gaz, toxic smoke or exploding devices.
I wanted to give a french name to my project that inspire something like that.

4.As i understand you do all the great artwork yourself have you done covers etc to
some other bands one should know of also?


- Yes i draw all the covers for my projects.
I drew for the two MustardGaz EPs, and the PB covers and symbolism.
Recently I did the artwork for the next Seges Findere t-shirt ( At war against the Zog)
and the cover for the split Ep with Ritual Genocide.
I used to draw some stuff for an underground french BM fanzine 6 or 7 years ago I don't remember.
I'm ok to draw for some bands if I dig the music and if I get along with the guys.

5.What kind of ideology do you have regarding this band?

- It's all about my feelings concerning this world and mostly the cesspool I live in.
France is filled with this fucking stinking scum everywhere and it's ruled by useless fags and cowards.
I believe the only answer for us is to act alone and low profile.
I dream everytime of the day we'll wipe out those degenerate fucks; for where I live, and for Europe.
I'm making my own spiritual way and the background and how things work here is a brake to it.
PB lyrics deals about all that.

6. If i understand correctly you released the album yourself but know you have tied
knots with the label Deathcamp Records, will they re release the album?


- Yes, I put the album on Bandcamp for sharing with some mates at the other side of the world.
After i reached out with Strigoi to talk about Seges Findere,
he listened to my tracks and was up for a cd release of "Xenophobos"
in early 2015.

7.I look forward to the coming split with Ritual Genocide! Tell me about this work and
how you came in contact with each others?


- I randomly found some stuff about Genocide Coven, their previous black metal band, I fucking liked it
so I took contact with the uploader of the videos who told me about Ritual Genocide.
I reached out with them, really cool dudes,
we started to share our respective projects and they came up with the idea of a split together.


 
8.Is there any plans on bringing your war-music unto the "live-platform"? Any gigs
in the plans? How do you think the France musical climate is for a band like yours?


- I don't have any plans for now. Maybe if I can gather some mates as a line up, and find the time and the room to rehearse on a regular basis this could be cool, but at this moment I'm not that interested playing live,
or maybe just in front of a restrained audience and some friends.
I think if we stay between us, just the scene and not make a fuss with too much information about the gig,
anything is able to play live everywhere in France. 

My city is filled with antifa and left sided cunts but we usually don't give a shit about their "threats".

9.If one like to get some sweet Phosphore Blanc t-shirt where should one look?

- Nowhere for now hehe. I have some designs ready and many ideas for some t-shirts and hoodies
but I'll wait to find somebody serious enough to work with, or I'll do it by myself,
I don't know yet, I have to enquire a bit about all this.

10.So after this split how does your next attack look like?

- I have already a few tracks ready, I don't know if i'll use them for a split (too soon to say) or an EP.
And i'm working on 4 or 5 past and unreleased MG tracks I want to release with Phosphore Blanc.
I guess i'll release some stuff within a few months or in the mid 2015 if things keep on going this way.

11. Thanks for your time & answers!

- No problem, my pleasure. Feel free to ask me anything you want about PB.

 
Thanks for your support!
Hails!
