BALFOR was formed in
November 1997 in a small town in eastern Ukraine, as a side project of
Thorgeir - vocal/bass/guitar, and guitarist Svart, to play fast, but
melodic, Black Metal. The band released their first album “Volki Severa”
in 2001, and, following a number of personnel changes, and encouraged by the
positive reviews the LP received, Thorgeir decided to concentrate all his
energies on BALFOR and develop the band further. Berowar came in
on bass in November 2005 and the two formed the core of what BALFOR was
to become.
Defining their music as “Barbaric Black Metal” in tribute to the history
of their homeland, BALFOR released their four-track promo “Pure
Barbaric” for free download via a net label in 2006; a move that proved to
be extremely successful in terms of raising the band’s profile and garnering a
substantial following throughout the world. BALFOR’s fan bases, and
reputation, were further increased by various live and festival appearances.
BALFOR today? With the release of the new album “Barbaric Blood”,
it is obvious that founder Thorgeir has developed into a charismatic
front man who is able to switch from aggressive black, to soaring melodic clean
vocals with consummate ease, whilst BALFOR’s effortless ability to cross
the melodic/black/death/extreme metal genres draws to them a diverse range of
fans. “Barbaric Blood” is definitely one of the defining moments in
BALFOR’s career.

AKTIV DÖDSHJÄLP COUNTRY: SWEDEN
GENRE: HARDCORE METAL CRUST
NeKronos Promotion is proud to present the first band of the NeKroWeek, they are
AKTIV DÖDSHJÄLP (Hardcore Metal Crust),
this is a kick ass band featuring members from Scar Symmetry,
Facebreaker, ex-Devian,ex-Dark Funeral etc. A great Swedish band
that combines all the best elements of Metal, Crust and Hardcore!
Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!
Aktiv Dödshjälp was formed in 2004 by Tomas Nilsson who recently
had been introduced to Swedish crust sound. Being overthrown by this new world
of extreme music he felt an urge to create a band to explore this new dimension
in music.
After several demos, complication albums and a split 7” had been released
the majority of the band decided to quite due to the lack of interest, this was
in 2006. Tomas soon recruited new members to the band and wrote the band’s first
fullenght album, 4:48 which saw the light of day in the middle of 2007.
On this album he focused on mixing crustcore a lot with black metal and death
metal elements.
In 2009 Tomas recruited Roberth Karlsson (also known from his work in
Scar Symmetry and Facebreaker) to sing on the forthcoming Aktiv Dödshjälp
album. By this time Tomas felt that he had explored most of the crustcore
sound and started to experiment a lot more with hardcore elements in the songs.
The previous tours done with Devian had also affected Tomas way in
writing songs.
In 2010 the second fullenght album, Men allting har ett slut, was
released and soon got a lot of attentions in Sweden.

SAMMATH NAUR COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: DEATH BLACK METAL
NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the second band of the NeKroWeek, they are
SAMMATH NAUR (Death Black Metal) a killer and damn skilled band from
Poland. A band constantly breaking their own musical limits and recreating their
sound!
Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!
The videoclip for "HARM" from their new album "Limits Were to be
Broken":
http://youtu.be/e53EiompCGE
Sammath Naur was formed in 1999 by Uzurpator - vocals, Saturnus
- guitars, Sigmar - guitars and Lestath - drums. The name of the
band has been adapted from JRR Tolkien's works and means 'Chambers of Fire', the
only place where the One Ring could be destroyed.
The band recorded its first 6 track demo, "Through the Mountains of Mordor, "
that same year. The music on this demo was very raw and simple. It was
reminiscent of Immortal and Emperor's early works. Due to the poor sound
quality, the demo has never been released.
In 2001 Sammath Naur greeted its new guitarist Tempter, keyboard
player Demetrius and bassist Morgoth. Saturnus decided to
change his role from a guitar player to a vocalist, thereby replacing
Uzurpator. In this new lineup, the band started working on new material and
getting ready for a recording session. The result was a second demo, "The
Wall of Sleep". It was self-funded and released in 2001. It contained 6 new
compositions, somewhat faster and more mature, in which electric organs played a
more prominent role. "The "On the Altar of Mars" music video was attached
to this release. The author of the music video was Patryk Chyla. It won
second prize at the Berlin music video festival in 2002. It was Sammath Naur's
first major success. Many positive reviews were written after the release of
The Wall of Sleep. The material has been intensively promoted at concerts
throughout Poland with bands like Esqarial and Lost Soul.
Work on a new release was started in 2003. The process of creating and recording
new material took a long time. The band was troubled by personal problems
throughout the whole time. Saturnus left at the very beginning of the
recording session. Soon after the bass tracks were recorded, Morgoth went
in Saturnus' tracks, leaving the band. Work on the third release was
completed in 2004, unfortunately without Tempter, who was replaced by
Valeo (aka. V), and with a brand new vocalist, Levan. The new album
was titled "The Forever War". It consisted, once again, of 6 tracks,
however this time a certain innovation was introduced. The Forever War
was a concept album. The tracks all made up a consistent whole. They combined
various music styles, intertwining in a natural way, such as black/death metal,
soundtrack scores and symphonic music. The material was a sure step forward in
the development of the band, although the real breakthrough was yet to come. In
this new lineup, Sammath Naur's members started promoting their new
material on numerous concerts. Having been invited by Effect Murder and
Deception, they set out on their first tour of Poland. An intensive
search for a record company started at about that time. The band eventually
decided to sign a contract with Redrum666 Records. The cooperation,
however, proved ill-fated. The premiere of The Forever War kept being
postponed. The album wasn't released.
By the end of 2004 the band decided to record their first professional album.
Composing music this time didn't take so long. It was completed on the break of
June-July 2004. Sammath Naur was joined by bassist Tas at that
time. The recording session started in February 2005 and was planned out into 3
stages. During its course, important changes in the lineup occurred. Keyboard
player Demetrius, who took part in the recording of the new material,
left the band. His absence forced guitarist Valeo (aka V) to record the
keyboard parts on the album. Hitherto vocalist Levan was removed
from the band during recording. As a result of this, most of the vocal parts
were arranged and performed by drummer Lestath. There was one more new
musician, Revisque - composer and producer of game soundtracks, with whom
the band started to co-operate already by the end of the recording session.
That's why only one of his compositions, "Grand Space Opera, " can be
found on the new CD.
Everything was completed by June 2005. Soon afterwards, Polish Empire Records
grew interested in the material from SN, thanks to whom the album
"Self Proclaimed Existence" was released in December 2005 in conjunction
with THRASH'EM ALL magazine. The CD comprised of 11 tracks. The music was
faster and far more aggressive - it's really didn't sound anything like the
first two demos. The style of creating music by merging various musical genres,
first attempted in The Forever War, was explored more deeply on this
album. The assimilation of such diverse styles as black/death metal, classical
rock, new age, film scores, symphonic and choir music resulted in a unique
creation that couldn't be categorized, stereotyped or pigeon-holed.
Thanks to this album, the true potential of Sammath Naur's musicians has
been noticed very quickly by other artists. Presently, Valeo plays with
Vesania and Rootwater and Lestath has been a drummer of
Esqarial and Darzamat.

D.E.R., banda mais antiga, originada em 2005, partilha com TEST o
baterista, mas o seu grindcore é mais rápido, ríspido e violento, não há espaço

GENRE: BLACKENED DEATH METAL
NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the first
band of the NeKroWeek, they are
