Narjahanam (which means "Hellfire" in Arabic, I believe) is a pagan/black metal duo from Bahrain formed in 2004. According to the official biography:</p><p style="font-style: italic;">"Narjahanam started off as a side project of Gravedom in the middle of the year 2004. The only reason Narjahanam started is because the ideas and concepts of the songs and lyrical theme did not fit with Gravedom since the lyrics are only in Arabic for Narjahanam, so both Gravedom and Narjahanam have different concepts"</p><p>Although the quality of production isn't perfect, and the sound of whole whole album is too "old school", "Undama Tath'hur Al Shams Mn Al Gharb" features a very interesting mix of dark metal (whatever it may mean) and oriental melodies. For some it may seem somewhat monotonous, but nevertheless it contains several really catchy tracks ("Al Jihad", for instance).</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z1yyblqk33ndook"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Download</span></span></a><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-5458538918800121935?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-23599919052069533102012-01-15T22:15:00.004+04:002012-01-16T04:02:01.989+04:00<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhvKnBeUpYo/TxMZKsCFBTI/AAAAAAAAAYk/h9HHMD8_Vg4/s1600/Damaar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhvKnBeUpYo/TxMZKsCFBTI/AAAAAAAAAYk/h9HHMD8_Vg4/s400/Damaar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697925624963073330" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Artist: </b>Damaar (دمار)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Triumph Through Spears of Sacrilege<br /><b>Genre:</b> Black Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Lebanon<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2006<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>فسق</li><li>Preaching for Mass Suicide</li><li>The Goatphoenix</li><li>Desecration (Blasphemy cover)</li><li>Ode to Blasphemy (Onward to the Gates of Mekka)</li></ol><p>One more Lebanese band who knows how to play really brutal black metal! As far as I know, the name "Damaar" means "Destruction" in Arabic, and they haven't released anything beside this 2006 demo (they seem to have relocated to Australia after 2006 Israeli-Lebanese war, and then split up). Anyway, the demo is just great, and definitely recommended to any fan of extreme metal.</p><p> <span style="font-style: italic;">"While most bands fantasize about war and glorify violence they have never witnessed; Damaar hail from Lebanon (formed in 2004) where war perpetually looms. Furthermore, Damaar’s devotion to metal can hardly be questioned. In order to protect themselves from retaliation by the government, they were forced to distribute their demo by mp3 rather than tape or CD. Thus in the face powerful religious zealots, Damaar persisted in pursuing its evil directives. </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="" id="wikiSecondPart">After relocating to Australia, Damaar was able to finally send out a proper (non-mp3) master and collect artwork for the vinyl release of their demo on NWN! This assault is pure aural bestial blasphemy in the style of Black Witchery, Revenge and others. Conceptually, Damaar invoke anti-religious warfare towards all those weak and feeble-minded followers of all false gods. The band is currently inactive following its move to Australia and its future is uncertain"</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?350jy37lwcdym8q"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;"><a><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="" id="wikiSecondPart" >Download</span></a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2359991905206953310?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-15426683715700512602012-01-15T22:00:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:02:01.995+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HZ8JFYB1_r8/TxMUcLwmWZI/AAAAAAAAAYY/6B1yz_x-SMA/s1600/Ayat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 397px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HZ8JFYB1_r8/TxMUcLwmWZI/AAAAAAAAAYY/6B1yz_x-SMA/s400/Ayat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697920427979331986" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Artist: </b>Ayat<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Six Years Of Dormant Hatred<br /><b>Genre:</b> Black Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Lebanon<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2008<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Ilahiya Khinzir!

Their music is surprisingly good - brutal, raw, "punkish" industrial black metal that can be described as "Aborym using Middle Eastern melodies". Ayat isn't specifically an anti-Islamic band, but they're speaking against any forms of religious establishment.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ake3g6234cj5kub">Download</a></span><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-1542668371570051260?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-16861944778501577232012-01-11T01:40:00.004+04:002012-01-16T04:05:51.188+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-10bSxCUqXHQ/TwyyUaw05rI/AAAAAAAAAYM/XL-AnS1CEQ8/s1600/NokturnalForest.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-10bSxCUqXHQ/TwyyUaw05rI/AAAAAAAAAYM/XL-AnS1CEQ8/s400/NokturnalForest.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696123692568078002" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Artist: </b>Nokturnal Forest<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> To Embrace the Nocturnal Hymns<br /><b>Genre:</b> Black Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Syria<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Through A Winter Night...</li><li>Transylvanian Darkness</li><li>Bloodied Tears</li><li>March Of The Nocturnal Path</li><li>Black Millenium (Mutiilation Cover)</li></ol><p>"To Embrace the Nocturnal Hymns" is the latest release by Nokturnal Forest up to date.

Well, can't say there's a lot of such bands... but there's a female-fronted black metal project even in Iraq! It's called Janaza, and consists of only one member behind the moniker "Anahita". Female-fronted black metal from Muslim countries isn't something unheard of (see <a href="http://finstergeist.blogspot.com/2010/08/ilkim-oulanem-iblisbilim-2009.html">İlkim Oulanem</a>), but Anahita's lyrics are much more explicit, and she comes from much less secular country. In terms of music, this demo is nothing special, but don't forget it's true black metal from a country with virtually no metal or rock scene, and made by person who witnessed the horrors of war with her own eyes (unlike those Scandinavian metal bands who prefer to sing about war while staying in the most safe region of the world...)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gmgh9zk5xoc7gti">Download</a><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2031754493108878375?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-77802783772994571012012-01-07T23:57:00.002+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.179+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hlE1PKQBx9M/TwjIZqeqAYI/AAAAAAAAAXo/jwN2iwNX3O4/s1600/silvershine.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hlE1PKQBx9M/TwjIZqeqAYI/AAAAAAAAAXo/jwN2iwNX3O4/s400/silvershine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695022072035148162" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Artist: </b>The Silver Shine<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Same Old Song<br /><b>Genre:</b> Psychobilly<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2011<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Homeward Bound</li><li>I Sold my Soul for Rock and Roll</li><li>Screeeaam!!!

The name was inspired by "Tank You Very Much", one of many working titles for the cult FPS game Wolfenstein 3D. CC continues to compose dark electronic music inspired by both cyberpunk and Middle Eastern-themed music like Muslimgauze and Fedayi Pacha, and "darkyouverymuch" isn't much different from the earlier CC's releases in terms of sound; however, CC himself was disappointed with the quality of final mix, but admitted that he most probably won't be able to do any better re-mastering. I wasn't surprised to hear it, though, as I'm already used to his perfectionism. By the way, a 5-track CC/Brandkommando split album is already recorded and mastered, and is about to be released (maybe this weekend). It's expected to be much more harsh and "noisy" than any solo release by CC.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ofde8u814r284x4">Download</a></span><br /></p><center><object height="315" width="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oY0biTvmlI?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oY0biTvmlI?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="315" width="420"></embed></object></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-751854363938047215?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-36484246036128123062011-12-17T23:57:00.002+04:002012-01-16T04:04:07.369+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AZUZjuRz4SU/Tuz1UNmjdSI/AAAAAAAAAWg/0IQva0fsvLc/s1600/Virgin%2BCold%2B-%2BPhobia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 395px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AZUZjuRz4SU/Tuz1UNmjdSI/AAAAAAAAAWg/0IQva0fsvLc/s400/Virgin%2BCold%2B-%2BPhobia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687190157059650850" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Artist:</b> Virgin Cold<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Phobia<br /><b>Genre:</b> Industrial / Electronic<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /></div><br /><b>Track List:</b><br /><ol><li>Melancholy</li><li>My Soul That Spring</li><li>New Religion</li><li>Phobia</li><li>Depression</li><li>Cold World</li></ol><p>I don't have much information about this project, except it's from my city.

I especially liked the 2nd track, that's how modern black metal should sound IMO.

Moreover, Yarina, the leader of the project, is a vehement supporter of informational freedom, so all the stuff by Neutrale Erde is officially available for free download. Kudos to her for that ;)<br />As for her music - I can't compare ND with world-class gothic/darkwave bands, but fans of minimalisic darkwave/gothic electro may find this album interesting. The main lyrical themes are personal feelings and post-apocalypse - so, nothing really uncommon for Russian darkwave scene. And after reading Yarina's blog, I fount it somewhat interesting, but it looks like she and Pavel (Mirror of Death - see my previous post) share the same ideology. While I'm a libertarian socialist myself, I can't approve such amounts of Soviet patriotism and support to regimes like Lukashenko's Belarus... but well, it's not that important. Just enjoy the music!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?f5pan0f95o2ysoz">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-8352126220058369583?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-42369858744000806192011-09-17T23:27:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:04:07.405+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K5aWZ0KrBP0/TnT1HL0ewYI/AAAAAAAAATQ/RCOsOHh4sQc/s1600/m_o_d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 211px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K5aWZ0KrBP0/TnT1HL0ewYI/AAAAAAAAATQ/RCOsOHh4sQc/s400/m_o_d.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653412936037613954" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> Mirror of Death<br /><b>Title:</b> <span class="st"><em></em></span>Кибернетическая Эра<br /><b>Genre:</b> EBM/Dark Electro, "Military Aggrotech"<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /><br /><b>Track List:</b><br /></div><ol><li>Кибернетическая Эра</li><li>Full Moon (bonus)</li></ol>Mirror Of Death is a band led by Pavel Nesterov who lives in Khabarovsk (Russia, Far East), and it's one of the most promising projects on today's Russian industrial music scene. Unfortunately, this 2-track EP is quite short and doesn't contain my favourite track by MoD, "Борт №402" (however, it does appear on the other EP by MoD called "Discrimination" - but I could find only a few tracks from it). The first track, "Cybernetic Era" is really good even in comparison with world-class dark electro hits, while the second one is quite average. Even though I'm not very fond of stalinist and militaristic ideology of the band (Laibach have used such ideology as well, but only for aesthetic purposes - while P.Nesterov seems to be very serious about his beliefs), I really appreciate the music. Future releases by Mirror of Death are said to have female vocals and lyrics in German, so I can't wait for the new tracks...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0mvlsbb37m2x1dc"><span style="font-size:180%;">Download<br /></span></a></div><br /><center><object height="315" width="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oQUf0PTQNRc?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oQUf0PTQNRc?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="315" width="420"></embed></object></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-4236985874400080619?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-91659615756556933542011-09-17T22:58:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:04:07.410+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dHaDmfQENWY/TnTub8CYM7I/AAAAAAAAATI/WG5tJtOMmis/s1600/2008_god_surka.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 340px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dHaDmfQENWY/TnTub8CYM7I/AAAAAAAAATI/WG5tJtOMmis/s400/2008_god_surka.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653405595996795826" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> MP44<br /><b>Title:</b> <span class="st"><em></em></span>2008 - Год сурка<br /><b>Genre:</b> "Dadacore", Industrial Electronic, Cut-Up<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2008<br /><br /><b>Track List:</b><br /></div><ol><li>Интро</li><li>Сахар &amp; Гексоген (OST "ФСБ взрывает Россию")</li><li>Авторицаризм</li><li>Дао кремлина</li><li>План Путена</li><li>На Трубе</li><li>Баллада о маньяке-освободителе</li><li>Я начинаю путь</li><li>2008</li></ol>Another DIY release by this anti-consumerist, anti-establishment, transhumanist, dadaist &amp; futurist Russian duo. It was recorded in 2008, the year when Putin stepped from power at the peak of his popularity, so it's not surprising that the lyrical content on this album deals with various controversies and conspiracy theories related to Putin's presidency. I don't think it all would be understood be an average foreign listener, but I'll put it here anyway (even though it's clearly not intended for the foreign audience). At least they staunchly opposed Putin's regime before it was cool :)<br /><br />Of course, all albums by МП44 are free for download.

MP44's creative output is very hard to understand outside the cultural context of modern Russian society, but I'll post this album here anyway (especially since I've posted two albums by Pornostroika Dadaifi, whose music is very hard to understand without context as well).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2g9pdnkwrbbrvx0">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-6267404681992281346?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-54612583082990169502011-09-17T22:00:00.003+04:002012-01-16T03:58:06.548+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wz-RN_ECi38/TnTibctcvlI/AAAAAAAAAS4/HUpHE-r_EJY/s1600/front%2Bcover%2B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 391px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wz-RN_ECi38/TnTibctcvlI/AAAAAAAAAS4/HUpHE-r_EJY/s400/front%2Bcover%2B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653392393447980626" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> Pornostroika Dadaifi<br /><b>Title:</b> <span class="st"><em></em></span>Pornotroika: Erotas sta hronia tis porneias<br /><b>Genre:</b> "Dadacore", Industrial Punk, Spoken Word<br /><b>Country:</b> Greece<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2011<br /><br /><b>Track List:</b><br /></div><ol><li>Anodos ton Pithikanthropon</li><li>Naraxia</li><li>Robocop</li><li>Astikos Polemos</li><li>Ta robot</li><li>Pyrinikos Minotauros</li><li>Pyriniko Pornokaytoma</li><li>Skylia tou Paulof</li><li>Regges Anthrwpoi</li><li>Anthropinoi donites</li><li>NWO Νo Οrder-GAP</li><li>Zambo (cut version)</li><li>O nearos kapitalismos </li><li>Adiaforia</li></ol>This is the latest release by Pornostroika Dadaifi up to date, and it's a bit more "listenable" and less "dadaist" than their earlier works.

I also can't understand Greek language, so I'm unable to understand the lyrical content of this album (which seems to be very interesting). Of course this album isn't the most people's cup of tea, but in case if you like it, I can also recommend "To teleytaio Express apo tin Troia" by the same band.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?531fp2xvzvc10pp"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Download</span></span></a><br /></div><strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-7743601853629978158?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-36360394015530642762011-09-17T21:00:00.006+04:002012-01-16T03:56:45.858+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B77eIWB_dUY/TnTTTBlHWZI/AAAAAAAAASo/h1twoofa3EI/s1600/la-reforma-y-la-armada-roja-split.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 310px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B77eIWB_dUY/TnTTTBlHWZI/AAAAAAAAASo/h1twoofa3EI/s400/la-reforma-y-la-armada-roja-split.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653375756051896722" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>La Reforma / La Armada Roja<br /><b>Title:</b> split<b></b><br /><b>Genre:</b> Oi!/Ska<br /><b>Country:</b> Dominican Republic<br /><b>Release date:</b> unknown<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track list:</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">La Reforma</span><br /><ol><li>Latinoamerica</li><li>Haiti</li><li>Ahi Estan</li><li>Resistencia Irak</li></ol><span style="font-weight: bold;">La Armada Roja</span><br /><ol><li>Ha Muerto Ya</li><li>La Balada Del Comprador</li><li>La Nueva Argentina</li><li>Juicio Propio [Cover De Tropiezo]</li></ol>Dominican punk?

However, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_rock">Dominican rock scene</a> does exist, although it isn't too big. The two bands presented on this split are playing political streetpunk/oi/ska, and they do it actually quite good.

Tasnim is probably the only more or less known metal band in Libya (however, there are two more bands listed in Encyclopaedia Metallum, but it seems like their releases are impossible to find anywhere). <br />Tasnim was started by two Benghazi citizens in 1998, and by the year 2000 they (already a 4-piece band) <span class="" id="wikiSecondPart">became the most influential metal band in Libya. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly), the quality of recording on their demo is quite poor, but it varies from track to track. Some tracks (like "</span>Bitter Nature Of Hypocrisy") are just awful, some are decent. Overal, not bad for a band from a country with almost non-existent metal scene, but some of their songs sound really much more like raw punk than metal. <br />According to their biography, <span class="" id="wikiSecondPart">"the subject matter of their lyrics sounds aggressively political most of the time, but they stated that they have their own open tolerant mind". Well, they're political band, but on which side they're now? Who knows... but taken in account they're from Benghazi, they're probably supporting the rebels. As for me, i once was very impressed by Qaddafi's "Green Book", but now I just don't know what to think about him... <br /> <br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="" id="wikiSecondPart"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ug3hsblqlq5kguv">Download</a></span></span> <br /><span class="" id="wikiSecondPart"></span> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-3820865297631067321?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-22487410966085764952011-08-19T03:33:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:04:07.419+04:00<center><object height="345" width="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sya6zEmo9nM?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sya6zEmo9nM?version=3&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="345" width="420"></embed></object></center> <br />First time I saw this clip in 1999 (or maybe 2000), on one of our mainstream music channels.

After listening to this, I was amazed how effective minimalism in music can be. For instance, "Murders Linked To Gaullist Clique" is a very minimalistic track where silence is more important than the music itself - and it doesn't get boring, unlike the majority of generic dark ambient releases. "Merge" is slightly more noisy, and it contains some voice samples in Russian (probably from some audio tutorial tape). "Fall Into Glass" is a short track featuring a nice synth melody (yes, it was the rare case when Bryn Jones used synths). Overall, it's very interesting piece of early 80s underground ambient/industrial music, and a good start for an enormous (&gt;200 albums) discography - even though it doesn't much resemble any stuff released under the name "Muslimgauze". There's also another version of this cassette, with 3rd "Extreme Faction <span class="time">(re-mix)", but looks like it's extremely hard to find anywhere... <br /> <br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="time"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?feh3biatjtpmp8y">Download</a></span></span> <br /><span class="time"></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-871220358068056484?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-9356355474701908492011-08-17T05:09:00.002+04:002012-01-16T04:06:53.441+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VdBvYivNWmw/TksVeTI1SvI/AAAAAAAAASQ/j_XbE5b0uc8/s1600/triptych%2Bfront%2Bcover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VdBvYivNWmw/TksVeTI1SvI/AAAAAAAAASQ/j_XbE5b0uc8/s400/triptych%2Bfront%2Bcover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641626568489257714" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> e.g. Oblique Graph (pre-Muslimgauze) <br /><b>Title:</b> Triptych <br /><b>Genre:</b> Ambient / Percussion Industrial <br /><b>Country:</b> UK <br /><b>Release date:</b> 1983 <br /></div><b> <br /></b><b>Track List:</b> <br /><ol><li>Black Cloth Behind De Gaulle's Wax Head</li><li>Triptych</li><li>Study Of The Red Pope (Innocent X)</li><li>Castro Regime</li></ol>Here's another rare EP from Bryn Jones, released in early 1980s under the name "e.q.

As of today, System Morgue have released several other albums, but I haven't heard any of them yet. System Morgue also participated in the compilation Heliophagia #6 with his track "Reactor #4 / Fenrir Awakening". <br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?olxn6x8hslyoeyz">Download</a></span> <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-7960244867745826834?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-46822351925561695612011-08-15T01:34:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:06:53.447+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdBOcNG0idI/Tkg_ps6azXI/AAAAAAAAARw/qeR8iv5AEzY/s1600/cover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 357px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdBOcNG0idI/Tkg_ps6azXI/AAAAAAAAARw/qeR8iv5AEzY/s400/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640828518944918898" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> O Yuki Conjugate <br /><b>Title:</b> Sunchemical <br /><b>Genre:</b> Ambient / Tribal Industrial <br /><b>Country:</b> UK <br /><b>Release date:</b> 1995 <br /></div><b> <br /></b><b>Track List:</b> <br /><ol><li>Sulphur (S)</li><li>Niobium (Nb)</li><li>Californium (Ca)</li><li>Carbon (C)</li><li>Polonium (Po)</li><li>Bismuth (Bi)</li></ol>Well, I've posted some albums by Muslimgauze, and here's another tribal ambient project from the UK.

You all know its name: Muslimgauze. But not everyone knows that Bryn Jones had released several tapes under the moniker "e.g. Oblique Graph" before starting Muslimgauze. The music on these tapes is "darker" and more minimalistic than the most releases by Muslimgauze, and it carries a really unique atmosphere. "Inhalt" and "Piano Room" are arguably one of most interesting releases by early-80's industrial bands (BTW, I don't really like early industrial scene in general... krautrock and RIO are much better :3). I'm still searching for the very first release by e.g. Oblique Graph, called "Extended Play" - especially the version which contains the track "Extreme Faction". So far I haven't found it anywhere... <br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?7lcudxnubwzdvwj">Download</a> <br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2538858790214434304?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-54170474420145814302011-08-07T23:57:00.002+04:002012-01-16T03:53:47.039+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TBK34gslV3I/AAAAAAAAAAk/lQnGn4VpFmA/s1600/Mechanic%2BFist%2BMF%2Blogo%2Bbig.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TBK34gslV3I/AAAAAAAAAAk/lQnGn4VpFmA/s320/Mechanic%2BFist%2BMF%2Blogo%2Bbig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481645877940803442" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> Mechanic Fist<br /><b>Title:</b> Electroconvulsive Therapy<br /><b>Genre:</b> Industrial Rock / EBM / Dark Electro with oriental folk overtones<br /><b>Country:</b> Azerbaijan<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /><b><br /></b><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Track List:</b><br /><ol><li>Ice-Cold Hell</li><li>Armageddon</li><li>Invisible Bonds</li><li>S.A.W.</li><li>Industrial Revolution</li><li>Unplug</li><li>The Last Sunset</li><li>The Choice</li></ol>...and after I posted Farid Aslanov's last release, I thought I should also post the full-length demo of his other project, Mechanic Fist. When I talked to him a few months ago, he was against posting these songs, regarding them as low-quality material and promising to release a lot of better stuff in the future. But as of today, Farid is busy on his solo project, so I don't think we can expect any new releases from MF in the near future, and I'm posting this old demo instead. Actually, it isn't that bad... moreover, it isn't bad at all (for a demo made in a country where the industrial/gothic scene is almost completely absent). Some vocal work could be better, though, but overall it's very promising stuff. Check out the track "Last Sunset", it's a melodic ballad-type song which really stands out of the whole demo. Other good tracks include "Ice-Cold Hell", "Armageddon" and "Industrial Revolution". Don't know if you'd like the elements of Middle Eastern folk music on this demo, but for me it's what makes MF's music unique -they're probably the first Middle Eastern industrial/EBM band, and not just a clone of some famous Western project... Good start.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?x4hmmf26b7s4wcq">Download</a><br /></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-5417047442014581430?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-57973127219479427292011-07-27T22:37:00.000+04:002012-01-16T03:53:47.043+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EsS1uJ-uZVE/TjBWpQwkfBI/AAAAAAAAARI/GBkBG_1q7BI/s1600/Cover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EsS1uJ-uZVE/TjBWpQwkfBI/AAAAAAAAARI/GBkBG_1q7BI/s400/Cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634098400713800722" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Farid Aslanov<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> War With The Z<br /><b>Genre:</b> Electronic<br /><b>Country:</b> Azerbaijan<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2011<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Horrorbox</li><li>Pandemia</li><li>Rising Dead</li><li>The Last [And Lost] Battle</li></ol>You may know Farid Aslanov as a founder of the first industrial rock band in Azerbaijan, Mechanic Fist, whose 2-track demo <a href="http://finstergeist.blogspot.com/2010/06/mechanic-fist-demo-2009.html">I've posted before</a>. Now he's working on his solo album, which expects to be sounding not so "harsh" as the demos by MF, as the target audience for industrial music in Azerbaijan still isn't that big. This short EP is his first solo release, and it features mostly "soundtrack"-sounding instrumental music, inspired by post-apocalyptic and (especially) zombie movies. Sounds good for a debut release, although the beat seems to be a bit off at times...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?35ryty4b3g313tc">Download</a><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-5797312721947942729?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-24968948618500104492011-05-22T00:27:00.004+04:002012-01-16T04:04:07.440+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWGrvSBcOLA/Tdggqtg_3JI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/RG1zrJpO7Rs/s1600/Cover%2Bface.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 327px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWGrvSBcOLA/Tdggqtg_3JI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/RG1zrJpO7Rs/s400/Cover%2Bface.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609269254034545810" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Cracked Core<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Steal'n'Kill<br /><b>Label:</b> Mental Excitement<br /><b>Genre:</b> Electronic / Industrial<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2011<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Hijack</li><li>Radio:martial [martial mix]</li><li>Монстрация</li><li>Free Tibet</li><li>Duck and Cover [glitch mix]</li><li>Играй нойз, пили трупы [v1.1]</li><li>SoAT [End Credits Theme rmx by Kazdalevsky]</li><li>Freedom In Lost Underground [Friends Minimal Cut]</li><li>Duck and Cover [technomix]</li><li>Radio:martial [tribal mix]<br /></li></ol>A new, 3rd full-length release by Cracked Core.

I discovered Lady Winter about 7 years ago (even before this album was released), and even did a review of their demo for one not-so-serious webzine. Back in mid-2000s, Lady Winter was one of the most promising new Russian metal bands (especially if we take in account how underdeveloped the Russian metal scene was... and still is). Sadly it doesn't look like they will ever release something new, but their one and only full-length album is pretty decent. It has nice vocals and some catchy melodies ("Frozen Heart", "The Rain Can't Be Forever"), though it generally lacks some "heaviness", which is supposed to be in metal music. However, it's still much better than numerous Nightwish clones that dominate Russian female-fronted metal scene.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_UEU5yNzvdM/TdLMcGNt27I/AAAAAAAAAQs/l-PelnunRY4/s1600/41777_photo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_UEU5yNzvdM/TdLMcGNt27I/AAAAAAAAAQs/l-PelnunRY4/s400/41777_photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607769269106236338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?e22z3npqg6z5dey">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-3471244012745211841?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-59914221239516563162011-05-17T22:55:00.003+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.184+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fhOQGgs5uMY/TdLFwNvMxTI/AAAAAAAAAQc/DCJuIGhhgAA/s1600/10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fhOQGgs5uMY/TdLFwNvMxTI/AAAAAAAAAQc/DCJuIGhhgAA/s400/10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607761918141711666" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Obsidian Shell<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Angelic Asylum<br /><b>Genre:</b> Symphonic Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>My Arrival</li><li>Orphanage</li><li>Fear</li><li>Dream</li><li>Endsequence</li><li>Starfall</li><li>Summoner Of The Wind</li><li>Second Birth</li><li>Wings Of Cruelty</li><li>Farewell</li><li>Misanthropia 2: Eternal Darkness</li></ol>One more album by Obsidian Shell, maybe not as impressive as Elysia, but still good (and released under a free license as well).

Well, I've got some for you. Obsidian Shell is a relatively new 3-piece symphonic metal band who released both their albums under a free license (CC BY-NC-ND), so it's perfectly OK to post it here. Moreover, their vocalist is really good; probably the best female voice in Hungarian metal. Musically, Obsidian Shell seems to be highly influenced by their compatriots Alhana with their idea of "fairy metal". "Elysia" is a quite lengthy release, but it's really worth listening.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.jamendo.com/ru/album/44729">Download</a><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2101982553052410928?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-43706376485297888022011-05-17T04:02:00.003+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.193+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xHu3gEDbJ1s/TdG7RNrFDbI/AAAAAAAAAQM/bZ5LK9_hyG8/s1600/102371.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xHu3gEDbJ1s/TdG7RNrFDbI/AAAAAAAAAQM/bZ5LK9_hyG8/s400/102371.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607468915455495602" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Alhana<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Csillagszellő<br /><b>Genre:</b> Symphonic Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2002<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Intro</li><li>Élj úgy</li><li>A zafír égen túl</li><li>Száműzött angyal</li><li>Az utolsó bárd</li><li>Mágus</li><li>A sárkány őrei</li><li>Álomvilág</li><li>Kísértet</li><li>Vigyázz rám</li><li>Csillagszellő </li></ol>The first and only full-length album by Alhana.

Maybe this album isn't as impressive as, say, Kárpátia or Dalriada, but the music is good anyway, especially for those who are interested in Hungarian culture and history (including me). The band name refers to a saker falcon, and it's probably a reference to Turul, a legendary bird which is a mascot of Hungary. Turul is often depicted as a very large falcon, but as for me, it looks more like an eagle (though I can be wrong, since I've never seen a falcon in real life... however, I've seen an eagle when I was in Crimea a couple of years ago, and I even held him on my hand):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pfIGW2WdoxI/TdG2MbZR9GI/AAAAAAAAAP0/6oCLzWzMTlQ/s1600/Turul-Tb-front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pfIGW2WdoxI/TdG2MbZR9GI/AAAAAAAAAP0/6oCLzWzMTlQ/s400/Turul-Tb-front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607463335681455202" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?p856uzfjywgp596"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Download</span></span></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-271802096641082514?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-89513011366348996412011-05-17T03:07:00.004+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.206+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XXM0DbrWHPo/TdGvqgbVNhI/AAAAAAAAAPk/3GQlrDMssnY/s1600/99209.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 392px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XXM0DbrWHPo/TdGvqgbVNhI/AAAAAAAAAPk/3GQlrDMssnY/s400/99209.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607456155846915602" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Sacra Arcana<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Titkos Szertartás<br /><b>Genre:</b> Folk Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2005<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Isten Kardja</li><li>Fekete sereg</li><li>Visszavárnak az álmokba</li><li>A magyarok Szent-Gallenben</li><li>Miller's Tale</li><li>A szegényember és a halál</li><li>Ugass a farkasokkal</li><li>'Round the Fields of Athenry </li></ol>Sacra Arcana is a Hungarian folk metal band too, but they don't sound much like Dalriada.

Most of their lyrics are in Hungarian, except for a couple of Celtic folk songs. In the Encyclopedia Metallum, their lyrical themes are listed as "Magyarism, Hungarian medieval history". Don't know what they meant by "magyarism", but it's definitely not so-called "hungarism" or any other nationalist ideology: I've talked to one of their members on last.fm a couple of years ago, and according to him, the band is definitely not nationalist, "nemzeti rock" or anything like that. As of today, Sacra Arcana seems to by split up, after releasing only one album. What a pity...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?er28jo4ojb2b4ja">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-8951301136634899641?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-50756921766994812362011-05-17T02:51:00.002+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.210+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMcGbNqtvcE/TdGq4n25OQI/AAAAAAAAAPc/sc6NTFOn2K8/s1600/108442.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMcGbNqtvcE/TdGq4n25OQI/AAAAAAAAAPc/sc6NTFOn2K8/s400/108442.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607450900801599746" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Echo of Dalriada<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Jégbontó<br /><b>Genre:</b> Folk Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2006<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Rianás</li><li>Árpádházi Margit Balladája</li><li>Galamb</li><li>Védj Meg Láng - 1.

Back in the 2006, their name was Echo of Dalriada, but now they have shortened the name to just "Dalriada". According to Metal Archives:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Dalriada (also Dál Riata) was a Gaelic overkingdom on the western seaboard of Scotland with some territory on the northern coasts of Ireland. In the late 6th and early 7th century it encompassed roughly what is now Argyll and Bute and Lochaber in Scotland and also County Antrim in Ireland.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> The titles of their albums are ancient Hungarian names of months. So "Fergeteg" is January, "Jégbontó" is February, "Kikelet" is March, "Szelek" is April, "Ígéret" is May, "Napisten" is June, "Áldás" is July, "Új Kenyér" is August, "Őszelő" is September, "Magvető" is October, "Enyészet" is November, "Álom" is December. Arany-Album is an exception, because it contains the poems of János Arany"</span><br /><br />If my (limited) knowledge of Hungarian doesn't deceive me, then the name for April literally means "Winds", August - "New Bread", December - "Sleep" or "Dream"... But it's quite off topic, let's return to the music. To have an idea of what kind of music they're playing, just watch this video for the song "Téli Ének" ("Winter Song"):<br /><br /><center><object height="349" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQQGVd3r0d4?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQQGVd3r0d4?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="349" width="425"></embed></object></center><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?grq3o8n8su1x4ec"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Download</span><br /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-5075692176699481236?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-39960964263520225722011-05-17T02:37:00.002+04:002012-01-16T03:58:43.215+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wKCQDFXNn8U/TdGnqs8AipI/AAAAAAAAAPU/lcEaVN4066k/s1600/242131.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 343px; height: 343px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wKCQDFXNn8U/TdGnqs8AipI/AAAAAAAAAPU/lcEaVN4066k/s400/242131.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607447363112176274" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Ideas<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Ébredés (Revival)<br /><b>Genre:</b> Symphonic Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2006<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Kegyetlen idők</li><li>Új nap</li><li>A völgy</li><li>Béke</li><li>Az operaház fantomja</li><li>Ébredés</li><li>Túl az élet hajnalán</li><li>Angyal</li><li>Újra élni</li></ol>Sympho-gothic metal with female vocals... well, it isn't a novelty for our times, but this band sings in Hungarian! I've met people, who called Ideas "a Nightwish clone" - but first of all, they started to play music in 1994 (Nightwish started in 1996), and they really aren't too similar to Nightwish. The track "Az operaház fantomja" is probably the best metal version of Phantom of the Opera I've ever heard (I don't like the covers by Nightwish and Dreams of Sanity, and Coptic Rain's "Phantom" isn't exactly a cover of Phantom of the Opera). Other tracks are nice too, especially "Angyal".<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?4uqyrr0gtapd8sg"><span style="font-size:180%;">Download<br /></span></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-3996096426352022572?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-9472066365364402012011-05-04T23:57:00.003+04:002012-01-16T03:53:02.565+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-biOo_v2aLkM/TcG0MYW57nI/AAAAAAAAAPM/FZwa_P5k8jI/s1600/brigette-handley-darkness-calls-cd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 319px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-biOo_v2aLkM/TcG0MYW57nI/AAAAAAAAAPM/FZwa_P5k8jI/s400/brigette-handley-darkness-calls-cd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602957536215559794" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Brigitte Handley &amp; The Dark Shadows<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Darkness Calls<br /><b>Genre:</b> Psychobilly/Rockabilly<br /><b>Country:</b> Australia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2009<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Dave Likes Dolls</li><li>Alien Movies</li><li>Stand Off</li><li>Sleeping with a Vampyre</li><li>Time To Fight Back</li><li>Identity</li><li>Lament Of A Lost Soul</li><li>Freedom of Choice</li><li>Gonna Getcha</li><li>Sour Times</li><li>Mad At You</li><li>Bitter Taste</li><li>Pesticide</li></ol>Some more female-fronted psychobilly for you!

Anyway, Love-in-a-Mist was a female duo musically quite similar to a Finnish band Lab - not quite "gothic rock", more like alternative rock... These 3 tracks are fine for a demo, sadly it's unlikely if this demo would be re-released in better quality. Anyway, the melodies are catchy, and I like such kind of vocals.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?udii8gc8vd28npq">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2854569624305565527?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-53920157049344546002011-04-27T23:57:00.002+04:002012-01-16T04:06:34.901+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_n_Uc7eZtIY/Tbh2pRa618I/AAAAAAAAAO8/A8lRMK4Wzl0/s1600/1296508189_500.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_n_Uc7eZtIY/Tbh2pRa618I/AAAAAAAAAO8/A8lRMK4Wzl0/s320/1296508189_500.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600356588058236866" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>The Rockland Ladies<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Introducing The Rockland Ladies<br /><b>Genre:</b> Rockabilly<br /><b>Country:</b> Ukraine<br /><b>Release date:</b> 1999<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>C'mon Everybody</li><li>Sigh Now, Cry Now</li><li>Be-Bop-A-Lula</li><li>Dancing Therapy</li><li>Train</li><li>Now Or Never</li><li>Summertime</li><li>Honey Don't</li><li>Rocking Demons</li><li>Werewolves</li></ol><a href="http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/1261148/a/Introducing.htm">The first all-female psychobilly band from Eastern Europe</a>?

Their myspace states they're from Nigeria, but it's most likely a joke, and they're probably from the United States.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://uaxuctum.blogspot.com/2011/03/niggas-with-guitars-ethnic-frenzy_08.html"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Download</span></span><br /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-4485736168198311038?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-41082410688257827482011-04-25T22:47:00.004+04:002011-04-25T23:41:10.216+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-etaxpGIihVY/TbXK-rZwCuI/AAAAAAAAAOU/fLGs1FC52LQ/s1600/negative%2Bspace.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-etaxpGIihVY/TbXK-rZwCuI/AAAAAAAAAOU/fLGs1FC52LQ/s320/negative%2Bspace.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599604889856510690" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Niggas With Guitars<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Negative Space<br /><b>Label:</b> Smokeland Studios<br /><b>Genre:</b> Ambient / Experimental<br /><b>Country:</b> unknown (USA?)<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2009<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Next Era Crush</li><li>Forbidden Dreams</li><li>Forget Stuffed I<br /></li><li>Forget Stuffed II</li><li>Deembryonaciated</li><li>The Voyage</li></ol>One of my LiveJournal friends pointed me to this project, and I decided to give it a listen - mostly because of the funny band name. The music turned out to be surprisingly good, but not "extreme" or "noisy" at all. Some music catalogues define Niggas With Guitars' genre as "drone", but I can't hear any drone on this album, it's just instrumental ambient / easy listening. Overall a decent release, somewhat comparable to Kesson Shoujo's "Childhood In The Housing Complex". But if you haven't heard about this band before (and you probably do), I recommend to check out first their latest album, "Ethnic Frenzy".<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://uaxuctum.blogspot.com/2011/04/niggas-with-guitars-negative-space.html">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-4108241068825782748?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-54297176276894307012011-04-23T23:57:00.003+04:002012-01-16T04:07:08.132+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jbQoI1nFnr8/TbNARd2bNJI/AAAAAAAAAOM/tDsce90uatM/s1600/1279964513_1259210796_300.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jbQoI1nFnr8/TbNARd2bNJI/AAAAAAAAAOM/tDsce90uatM/s320/1279964513_1259210796_300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598889430566515858" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>1476<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> A Wolf's Age<br /><b>Genre:</b> Horror Punk / Gothic Rock<br /><b>Country:</b> USA<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2009<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>Anno Domini</li><li>Swallow The Sun</li><li>Son Of The Hunter</li><li>This Is Not Lucid</li><li>Dithyramb</li><li>Evoke You</li><li>Herne’s Oak</li><li>Oriens Astrum</li><li>The Demons In The Circle</li><li>The Cleansing Scourge</li><li>Medicine Man</li><li>Der Vampyr</li><li>The Wanderer</li><li>Closed Casket Heart</li></ol>Well, if some of you don't like psychobilly with female vocals, here's quite similar stuff, but with male vocalist.

Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space (yes, with emphasis on "human" - please stop all that stupid nationalist crap that's coming from both sides of the "space race", it was a world-scale achievement):<br /><br /><center><object height="349" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKs6ikmrLgg?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKs6ikmrLgg?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="349" width="425"></embed></object></center><br />And if you haven't watched "Wings of Honneamise" by Gainax - watch it. It's a great anime (though very serious and depressing), and its plot revolves around a first space flight in the alternate universe which is completely unlike 60s USSR:<br /><br /><center><object height="349" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3l3yEGblTj8?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3l3yEGblTj8?fs=1&amp;hl=ru_RU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="349" width="425"></embed></object></center><br />For those of you who don't like anime at all (but enjoy 3D animation), I recommend Egon &amp; Dönci.

Inner Fear were an avantgarde gothic metal band (with electronic/industrial overtones) from Brno, Czech Republic. Unfortunately, now they're split up, and "Symbiotry" seems to be their last release. That's a pity, because the music is great, and Inner Fear aren't like those dozens of new generic "female fronted metal" bands. Tracks #1, 4 and 8 are especially catchy, and I like the atmosphere. Hope the other two albums of Inner Fear are as good as this one.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?r2t535hliuiw25i">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-1619623943293067784?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-51195080153395528572011-03-05T23:52:00.002+03:002012-01-16T04:06:53.474+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ORMa-VaEzAE/TXKlSM83sVI/AAAAAAAAAN0/QqRz_IV0A_g/s1600/folder.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ORMa-VaEzAE/TXKlSM83sVI/AAAAAAAAAN0/QqRz_IV0A_g/s320/folder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580704620398227794" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Deadline<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Title:</b> Bring The House Down<br /><b>Genre:</b> Melodic Punk / Oi!<br /><b>Country:</b> UK<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2010<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /><ol><li>The Trouble Is</li><li>Fraud</li><li>What’s Going On</li><li>Two Heads (Are Better Than One)</li><li>99%</li><li>Bring The House Down</li><li>These Boots Are Made For Walking</li><li>For Better Or For Worse</li><li>Sorry, I Was Late</li><li>Shout It Out Loud</li><li>Thorn In My Side</li><li>Na Na Na</li><li>Breakdown Baby</li></ol>One more good punk release with female vocals.

Need I say more? Here's a review of this album, taken from CDbaby:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;" id="ctl00_rightColumn_lblAlbumNotes">""Saint or Sinner" is the 4th full-length album by the loudest punkabilly trio named The Silver Shine. Ten songs including fast psychobilly mixed punk rock and slower rockin' anthems with catchy sing-along choruses. Their screaming punky guitars, crazy slappin' upright bass and furious drum attack combines energy and technical skills. Krista Kat's soulful vocals with Ati EDGE's rough voice gives high diversity and harmony to the album.<br /><br />The opening and the closing tracks are fast, psychotic metalbilly tunes lyrically dealing with a serial killer and negative human aspects. The second one is a rocking anthem titled "Dreams" featurning Chris Suicide from US psychopunx The Triggers. This one is playing in Orvell's imaginary world parallel the world around us nowadays. "An old gipsy woman tried to told my future when I was 12 and she was wrong... hahaha" - says Ati EDGE and the story inspirated him to write the song "On the Edge of Luck". "Saint or Sinner" has already has a video filmed in Los Angeles with Krista Kat's lead vocals. "Homeward Bound" is some kind of looking back, how life passes by. The next track is about fanatics who are into hot-rod buliding, or fallen in love with Harleys and stuff like that. This one's titled "Made of Chrome" and musically strongly influenced by Motorhead. "The Chased" is another song Krista sings, and it's about our fight against haters and their poisoning attitude. The next track's titled "Fire Burns in my Head" and it is a reminiscence of a pyromaniac regarding the best moments of his life. "Your Slave" is a simple, mid tempo rock and roll song about the beautiful babes. All in all, the guys felt it's more important to give a voice to these simple human feelings and leave all the zombies, monsters and horror behind.<br /><br />Formed in 2004, the hard-working trio has toured several times all over Europe, Brazil and rocked the USA; a total of 28 countries worldwide. Seeking inspiration from Social Distortion to Motorhead, The Silver Shine has managed to toss their influences with originality in a blender to create fresh and addictive music. Custom painted black/red upright bass, extreme energy, vintage microphones are the trademarks of the band on stage you cannot mistake for anything else.<br /><br />With three albums on Crazy Love Records and a new full-length album "Saint or Sinner" by Longneck Records under their belt, the band has undergone some changes and finally found the way what they've always been searching for. This is a must-have for both of your punk rock and / or psychobilly collection as well!</span><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?p3x7pmxie99918l"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Download</span></span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/silvershine"><span style="font-weight: bold;">(or buy mp3s)</span></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2779167472656666107?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-91055774366515684282011-03-05T22:47:00.002+03:002011-03-05T22:54:38.002+03:00It's a footage of the abandoned property of the Rutherford Stuyvesant estate, found <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/abandonedplaces/2290583.html">here</a>.

If you find most of music in nmy blog too depressive, then you might like this album - its mood is very energetic and cheerful, and it sounds like "Banda Bassotti playing Russian folk music while singing in German" ;) I always liked rock versions of old folk songs, and there's a lot of such stuff made by Hungarian rock bands, but not much in other countries. It's a shame 44 Leningrad are almost unknown in Russia, in my opinion they're way better than the majority of generic punk/harcore bands...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" ><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5g081c41enb37si">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-7866018949999445441?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-42661212657638942602011-02-01T21:21:00.003+03:002011-02-01T21:37:05.544+03:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TUhQoJsu-pI/AAAAAAAAANE/zOxMWZbAQJ0/s1600/stats.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TUhQoJsu-pI/AAAAAAAAANE/zOxMWZbAQJ0/s320/stats.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568789589972155026" border="0" /></a>Now my blog is getting a lot of visitors from Google images search, but this traffic is mostly useless - as you can see, most of them read only one entry and nothing else.

"Tűnő Idő Tárlat" is a true masterpiece: it's really avant-garde, and really metal! The closest analogue to it, in my opinion, is "666 International" by Dødheimsgard, but "Tűnő Idő Tárlat" is even better. Need I say more?

What can I say about Roncsipar? They're like Hungarian Godflesh / Fall Of Because, but much better. Of course they can't be compared to Gire or Thy Catafalque, but they still are playing exactly "my" kind of music. As for Drone'Osh Tot, they're fine too, but only if you like harsh noise/drone. However, I can't compare them with other Hungarian noise projects, because I didn't know about any other Hungarian harsh noise acts before (if not to mention Hunyadi P.H.)<br /><br />And moreover, this split is officially FREE for download! Just like the other releases by Roncsipar, though (or at least most of them). The archive contains the music in 256 kbps mp3 format + all the artwork.

Lol. I didn't knew that there are such projects (of course, I know Laibach are left wing and not even stalinist, despite their use of totalitarian imagery - but that's not the case). But taken in account the amateur quality of production, and hilarious tracks names on Vae Victus' side of the split, I must assume that it probably wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.<br /><br />As for Durch Heer Und Kraft's side - the quality of production is not much above amateur too, but their stuff is very catchy, nonetheless. And I'm intrigued by the name of 3rd track - it's an obvious reference to Ilya Masodov, one of my favourite writers. But Masodov's books aren't available in any language other than Russian... so is it possible that he's known in Hungary?<br /><br />I don't know if you would like this release or not, but I think it's worth downloading anyway. Moreover, it's free (at least, freely available on last.fm), and it mean +1 point to my respect for the musicians of VV &amp; DHK.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sad6pwi0embqqwb">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-2022723127693011981?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-66612414097746419072010-12-09T23:40:00.003+03:002012-01-16T03:58:43.247+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TQE-7NER7PI/AAAAAAAAAL4/Kko7ykWfxus/s1600/iszonyat.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TQE-7NER7PI/AAAAAAAAAL4/Kko7ykWfxus/s320/iszonyat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548785402737978610" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> Iszonyat<br /><b>Title:</b> Periféria<br /><b>Genre: </b>Oi!/Streetpunk<br /><b>Country:</b> Hungary<br /><b>Release date: </b>2009<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /></div><ol><li>Egy Bezárt Klub Margójára</li><li>Gittegylet</li><li>Gyár Utca Blues</li><li>Hogyan Tovább</li><li>Maholnap</li><li>Új Attitûd</li><li>Úton, Útfélen</li></ol>Iszonyat is a new streetpunk band from Hungary with dual (male and female) vocals, and they're definitely better than BelfegOi ;) Should I say more?

I haven't heard "Toxin", but in comparison with "Gan Sensory" &amp; "Dialectics Tar Diokihtis" the sound on "Deve Irio" is much more polished and danceable - more like dark electro than rhythmic noise. If you haven't heard anything by Gorduw before, then it would be better to start from this release.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2v9bp88ygpxcf9b"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Download</span></span></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-6571553370980377651?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-35026559983028857192010-12-01T22:33:00.005+03:002012-01-16T04:04:07.465+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPamUhoR5TI/AAAAAAAAALY/h-eBNPT0ajM/s1600/rakoth-planeshift.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPamUhoR5TI/AAAAAAAAALY/h-eBNPT0ajM/s320/rakoth-planeshift.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545802862708254002" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Rakoth<br /><b>Title:</b> Planeshift<br /><b>Label:</b> Code666<br /><b>Genre:</b> Progressive Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 1999<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track list:</span><br /></div><ol><li>Planeshift (Introduction)</li><li>Fear (Wasn't in the Design)</li><li>Noldor Exodus</li><li>The Dark Heart of Uukrul</li><li>Og'Elend</li><li>Planeshift </li><li>Gorthaur Aulendil</li><li>Mountain God</li><li>The Unquiet Grave</li><li>Outro</li></ol>And finally, my favourite Russian metal release EVER. It's very hard to classify the music of Rakoth, but in my opinion it's progressive/power metal with some BM and folk overtones (and no, I don't mean "slavonic folk"...) It's not black metal (though there's a lot of BM-ish parts) and it's definitely nowhere near doom metal (yes, I've seen even such label for Rakoth), and I'd say it's much more "intelligent" than "brutal". So if you want something like Cannibal Corpse, look somewhere else. But if you like Symphony X or Vintersorg, you most probably will like "Planeshift" by Rakoth. The metal scene in Russia mostly sucks (and, unfortunately, not only metal), but Rakoth is an exception. "Planeshift" is very well-played and has beautufil flute melodies. I especially like tracks from #2 to #5, and "Gothaur Aulendul" (my favourite one on this album). The lyrics are based on fantasy literature (more specifically, Tolkien's writings), and the band's name was taken from a book by Nik Perumov. As for me, I don't like fantasy in general, and I find Perumov's books absolutely unreadable, but it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the music of Rakoth.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Feel yourself different, never felt home here </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Always a stranger, you're fire in snow...</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">See - they're afraid of you, you always scared them </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Seeds of true vision in hearts and minds you will sow</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Live, burn in your flame and love </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Love to the earth and the stars </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">But the first thing you've made </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">was the dagger of steel..."</span><br />(- "Gothaur Aulendil")<br /><br />And I have to repeat - don't miss this release, if you like really good "not-so-true" metal. I think it's the best release of such kind produced in Russia or other ex-USSR countries. Moreover, Rakoth managed to release "Planeshift" on a relatively big world-class label (Code666), so I think it isn't hard to buy it in the western countries. Anyway, it's available for free on the internet... for example, on last.fm, or right here:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?f4wuu274l2184wh">Download</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-3502655998302885719?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-79768247240436031062010-12-01T21:17:00.005+03:002012-01-16T04:04:07.471+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaS3OuZY6I/AAAAAAAAALI/6Wz__fnWJPA/s1600/split.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaS3OuZY6I/AAAAAAAAALI/6Wz__fnWJPA/s320/split.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545781468696503202" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Thy Repentance / Nuclear Winter<br /><b>Title:</b> Control Shot or Halls Of The Red / Ode to War (Apotheosis of Hate)<br /><b>Label:</b> Noughtscape Productions<br /><b>Genre:</b> Dark Ambient / Black Metal<br /><b>Country:</b> Russia<br /><b>Release date:</b> 2002<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track list:</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thy Repentance</span><br /><ol><li>Hall of Hate (The Global Coffin)</li><li>Hall of Opposition (Apocalyptic Impression)</li><li>Hall of Predestination (Falling of the Poisoned)</li><li>Hall of Fire (The Song of Ash and Dust)</li><li>Hall of Zero (The Bullet's Blizzard)</li><li>Hall of Might (Supreme Meaning of Knowledge)</li></ol><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nuclear Winter</span><br /><ol><li>In the Glare of Nuclear Sun</li><li>...As the Silvery Tumuli Over Universal Tomb</li></ol>This split album is one of the best releases that came from early-2000s Russian black metal scene. It features two bands from the vicinity of Ural mountains. I decided to check it out mostly because of Nuclear Winter, an one-man project led by Podonok (also in Velehentor and Closing the Eternity), who's also an editor of relatively well-known Twilight Shadows zine (it's one of my favourite Russian-language metal webzines). His music turned out to be surprisingly simplistic (but I don't want to say it's bad), and very simular to Burzum's most well-known release, "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss". I can draw a comparison between "In the Glare of Nuclear Sun" and "Det Som En Gang Var", and also between "As the Silvery Tumuli Over Universal Tomb" and "Tomhet". As for the lyrical content, it's pretty typical for "true" black metal, and very simular to Gorduw's - total misanthropy, nuclear apocalypse, et cetera. Don't think if Podonok still take all this seriously, though. As of today, Nuclear Winter isn't active, the latest album under this moniker was released in 2003. it was a split release with a Belarusian black metal band called Soulcide. I have it too, but it isn't as good as this one.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zh7irekzq673p2h"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Download</span></span><br /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-7976824724043603106?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-75096717588650998182010-12-01T20:48:00.003+03:002012-01-16T04:04:07.477+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaK_dsF8mI/AAAAAAAAAK4/YDH_0GJwv5A/s1600/gan%2Bsensory.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 154px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaK_dsF8mI/AAAAAAAAAK4/YDH_0GJwv5A/s320/gan%2Bsensory.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545772814059303522" border="0" /></a><b>Artist: </b>Gorduw<br /> <b>Title:</b> Desyataya Chastt Istorii Feitnathorotha: Gan Sensory<br /> <b>Label:</b> Folvork Prods.<br /> <b>Genre:</b> Industrial / Black Ambient / Noise / Power Electronics<br /> <b>Country:</b> Russia<br /> <b>Release date:</b> 2003<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Track list:</span><br /></div><ol><li>Laamn Uot Tar Ralgall (Last Day Of Peace)</li><li>Dron Torna Rouna!

It's one of the first black metal labels in Russia, established in Krasnoyarsk (central Siberia) in 1996 by E.Solomatin a/k/a dr.Feitnathoroth - most probably influenced by Les Legions Noires of France. In early 2000s, Folvorks discontinued to release black metal, 'cause it became too "popular" (in their opinion), and concentrated on dark ambient, noise and power electronics. This release by Gorduw - "The 9th part of Feitnathoroth's Story" - has it all: long and repetitive ambient soundscapes, noisy distorted dance beats, harsh PE-like vocals and a lot of samples. And of course, the unique apocalyptic atmosphere - that's why I like Gorduw! All the track titles are in constructed "Folvork" language, but the English version of the trackslist is available too.<br /><br />Folvork Prods. have released dozens of albums by various projects - Gorduw, Tchort, Hilderend (ex-Pantheon), Eonic, N-616, etc., but all that stuff is very hard to find, and now I have only two albums by Gorduw (beside this one). If I'd found more, I'll post it here.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?4u7ojqj54a8729r"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Download</span></span><br /></a> </div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#ffffff;"></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/135554183924731578-7509671758865099818?l=finstergeist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135554183924731578.post-77176519606848730522010-12-01T20:37:00.002+03:002012-01-16T03:57:19.333+04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaIQrk4dDI/AAAAAAAAAKw/hmISeidhuV4/s1600/%255Bcover%255D%2BA.n.K.h%2B-%2BINDUSTRY.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sov_EN72ZAY/TPaIQrk4dDI/AAAAAAAAAKw/hmISeidhuV4/s320/%255Bcover%255D%2BA.n.K.h%2B-%2BINDUSTRY.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545769811310048306" border="0" /></a><b>Artist:</b> A.n.K.h.<br /><b>Title:</b> Industry<br /><b>Genre: </b>Industrial / Dark Ambient<br /><b>Country:</b> France<br /><b>Release date: </b>2008<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Track List:</span><br /></div><ol><li>The Evil</li><li>Alone</li><li>La Secta Sin Nombre</li><li>Full Moon</li><li>Afraid</li><li>Kairo</li><li>Fear</li><li>Armand Est Mort (A.n.K.h vs Voiker Fullcarp)</li><li>Mymetic Area</li><li>Sopor Aeternus</li></ol>This French dark electronic/industrial project exists since 1996, and has released all the albums under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 2.0.
