2022.11.05 - OESTE UNDERGROUND FEST V - 2022 - MALVEIRA - Portugal



OESTE UNDERGROUND FEST V - 2022 @ MALVEIRA
DATA : 5 DE NOVEMBRO 2022 (Sábado)

Realiza-se no próximo dia 5 de Novembro 2022, no Pavilhão Multiusos da Malveira (concelho de Mafra, distrito de Lisboa), a quinta edição do festival de Metal Oeste Underground Fest.

De cariz solidário, dado que visa auxiliar os bombeiros locais, o evento será constituído por bandas portuguesas e estrangeiras, praticantes da melhor música pesada que atualmente se faz na Europa.

[TEMA DA 5ª EDIÇÂO]

"Mais uma vez o nosso cartaz é composto com as lendas da nossa terra, e ou concelho.
Este ano vamos retratar a lenda dos moinhos, à 400 anos atrás, foi construído o Diabalma, moinho que ainda hoje se mantém, mas abandonado, Diabalma significa, Alma do diabo.
Na altura a pequena população, da Malveira, acreditava, que o moinho como trabalhava noite e dia, era habitado por bruxas, a verdade é que passados 300 anos, reza a lenda que a bruxa rainha expulsou as outras 6, e há 100 anos atrás, foram construídos mais 6 moinhos, o que compõe os 7 moinhos da Malveira.
Existem outras histórias, incluindo a obra escrita do Amândio Quinto, de nome, A lenda dos sete moinhos.
Não falta o burro, uma forma também de homenagear uma figura fictícia aqui da nossa terra que muito partilha o que se faz por cá, que é o Joaquim do Moinho.
Como sempre também fazemos menção ao nosso imponente Convento de Mafra.
E como não podia faltar, os Bombeiros Voluntários da Malveira, pois as verbas do festival destinam-se aos mesmos."

BELPHEGOR - Release today "The Devils" new album!

BELPHEGOR
COUNTRY: AUSTRIA
GENRE: DIABOLICAL DEATH METAL ART



BELPHEGOR - RELEASE TODAY "THE DEVILS"!
[2022.07.29]

Diabolical death metal squadron BELPHEGOR have released today their new album "The Devils" released via Nuclear Blast Records.
Once again their trademark sounding "Diabolical Death Metal" will be brought to the world. The outstanding artwork was created by Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, with exalted design elements influenced by renaissance and middle age paintings.

With "The Devils", long-running diabolical black death metal titans BELPHEGOR unleash their twelfth studio album upon the masses, which proves to be one of the strongest and most elaborate records in the groups career. Mixed & mastered at renowned Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates), "The Devils" sounds absolutely crushing and dynamic, sonically pushing the immense variety of the eight tracks to new heights.

The band comments:
"Hail! Today we are finally unleashing our new album "THE DEVILS" in its entirety!
I think the greatest strength of this twelfth BELPHEGOR album are the many new elements incorporated into our unrelenting soundwall, which illuminates the offering shine with an evil ritualistic light. We tried to push the boundaries as musicians and as a band to bring the eight soundcollages to a new level of “Diabolical Black Death Metal” extremity. An intense atmosphere was our goal.
"THE DEVILS" is the perfect demonstration of how we wanted to sound in the year 2022, every aspect expressing what we seek within BELPHEGOR!"
In Musick, Helmuth

GAEREA - Release music video "Mantle" of the new album "Mirage"!

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: BLACK METAL




GAEREA - RELEASE NEW TRACK AND MUSIC VIDEO "MANTLE"!
[2022.07.26]

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA are now proudly releasing their second new single "Mantle", which is taken from the band's upcoming album "Mirage" set for worldwide release on September 23, 2022 via Season of Mist.

Watch the "Mantle" music video at
: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXjTVTnc7zY



About the track:
Pain and pleasure. The most corrupt alliance against the said paradise. Humanity stands right between these two edges of the same abyss, without ever knowing the truthful form of one another. A cloak being dragged away with every step we take into our said reality.

GAEREA comment on "Mantle":
"A terrifying, fascinating and magnificent mystery of how, between all forms of random life, we were the chosen ones to suffer, to carry a burden we never truly recognize as our own to keep and die for. An ultimate poem of how life dances an endless "Valsa" with death, unmasked, falling in love for their creations as the floor is made out of bone fragments."

Style: Cathartic Black Metal

Behind black shrouds of obscurity and desolation, the men of GAEREA deliver their odes in cascading maelstroms of aggression and beauty. Emerging from the age of pandemic to whatever awaits humanity next, the Portuguese horde remains on the frontlines of the next generation of extreme metal. With an EP and two albums to their name, GAEREA has rapidly distinguished themselves from the thousands of bands toiling away in the underground. Brewing their cauldron of sound from a recipe of pounding black-metal blast mixed with a touch of harrowed, reflective longing, many devotees of the darkened arts have flocked to their banner. With the emergence of third full-length album Mirage, those numbers are sure to grow.

Underground metal itself is a strange and cyclical beast. Trends come and trends go. But at no point in the genre’s history have we borne witness to what happened to the world in 2020. GAEREA met this challenge by releasing their second album, the aptly titled "Limbo", to excellent world reception. In the meantime, they found the total suspension of interactive life as it was previously known to be the perfect breeding ground for further creation and making. As the troupe’s main songwriter elaborates, "I lost two precious years of my life, years that I would rather have spent touring and growing as an artist. But they were crucial for us, these years, because not too many bands stayed relevant and productive. The pandemic gave us the time to make the best release we could. All the promo-shoots, interviews, videos, we all had time to prepare for everything. Mirage was the product of a sudden inspiration. The basic parts were written over about two weeks."

Such a stunning admission goes to show that art is fickle, and the artist is merely a vessel through which the sweet sorcery we call music may flow. It can mute itself to frustrating silence – or it can explode into being regardless of all consideration. For this band on the rise, it is most certainly the latter. Sizzling with ambition from day one, GAEREA may present one unique face to their audience, masked and enshrouded, but the truth is they have not remained changeless. "We are not the same band who recorded Limbo," he insists. "We are more eager to take on the world. If the pandemic taught us anything it is that nothing is certain."

This lack of certainty plays heavily into newest creation Mirage. As its name suggests, the inability to trust what our senses are telling us could be construed as one of the album’s central themes. Rather than constrict their art to mythological references or anti-religious tropes, GAEREA instead plumb the depths of the human experiences of isolation and suffering. "The concept, the subject, of each song is everyone, you, me . . . if people were alone together in Limbo, in Mirage they are truly alone. Nobody is truly real until they are alone."

If existential dread could be turned into sound, GAEREA have carved their own philosophical path through its stygian tunnels. It isn’t Satan, demons, death, or even suicide that is waiting for us there. "What if people finally reached their goal," he posits, "to end their suffering, and instead of dying they find themselves in a new reality, lost in a big city they were once a part of – they don’t know if anyone else is still alive. They are alone inside their own world." This theme of being alone in a world full of familiar scenes, unable to end things and unable to reach anyone else, might well terrify the listener more effectively than any glimpse into the imagined hellscapes of our nightmares. Being isolated in your own world is the real nightmare, and GAEREA strum the chords of this horror with nuance and a miserable grace.

Boasting a superior production that threads the needle between clarity and causticness, GAEREA unwaveringly admit their loyalty to countryman and producer Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings. "Miguel is fantastic," enthuses the band’s primary composer. "He comes from a brutal death metal background. I thought if this guy can pull off a punchy, modern, but still authentic production with a slam / death metal band, I wonder what he can do with a band like Demigod Recordings. He has a vision for a sound, and that is what I really like. He is not a black metal fan, but it’s this very external set of ears and eyes from a guy who really knows his craft, and he brings all of that to our sound." The fruits of this union are quite evident, as the turbulent moods of the title track are so wonderfully tossed between tension-building moments, and the explosive payoffs which set GAEREA apart from so many who try but come up short.

Tormented leads and building riffs sit atop some seriously explosive drumming, waxing and waning, on "Arson," a tempest of moods and one of the album’s centrepieces. Emotion, at times sounding triumphant in brilliantly wrought guitar leads, is skewered by vocals that bustle with shattering despair. The dichotomy is magnificent to behold. GAEREA’s composer makes no mistake. "I want to hear the throat on the album, and if we are a vocals-driven band, I don’t want to over-process them during the recording. Striking that balance is one of the beauties for me in this record."

In a world that increasingly elevates the shallow and the narcissistic, GAEREA pursues an artistic struggle of inward isolation, honest self-examination, and a dogged refusal to bow to the void that awaits. Thus, the persistence of their shadowed visages, draped in the masks which codify their anonymity while also creating a reliable extreme metal brand that fans can appreciate, especially in the live setting. "GAEREA are truly ourselves when we put these masks on, and we transcend into something different, and primitive," he asserts. "It still makes total sense, and this band would not be a band anymore if we ever dropped the masks."

As GAEREA prepares the release of Mirage, the world has resumed functioning, and as it lurches onward into its bleak future, one could stipulate that the pressure may be on to continue its rise amid the clamor of this renewal of activity. Does this challenge intimidate GAEREA? "We want to do better, but I don’t feel any pressure because we are in very good hands with the people we work with. We are building a strong team that really cares for us, stage-wise, promotional-wise, website and sales-wise. We are building a very structured confident teams that aims for the same goals we do. What I truly care about is continuing our ever-growing concept of the band GAEREA, and not becoming sterile, and I would not want people to be unaffected by our music. In the end we’re trying to express something within ourselves, and I don’t want it to be too complicated."

The beauty of GAEREA lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of their self-titled EP, or in the lustrous textures of Mirage, GAEREA is building a mighty edifice of underground metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, GAEREA is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

WE ARE GAEREA.

BLACK ALTAR BIOGRAPHY

Anno Bastardi 1996

In the darkest abyss of chaos where time and space are impenetrable, Black Altar came into existence. It took its earthly shape during blasphemous Sabbath in the Night of Walpurgia Anno Bastardi 1996, when it was summoned by the voice of Shadow. He, as the first guardian of Black Altar, have started an unholy crusade, thus awaking fear and pain among the hypocritical and hideous christian lambs.

1997

The first stroke into their rotten system of values was a demo entitled "Na Uroczysku..." (On a secret place..) which gained a recognition among several groups of listeners. It was recorded by Shadow in 1997 at Selani Studio with the help of Doc (RIP), Vader's drummer, in the role of a music engineer. Released under Shadow's own label - Odium Rec., the first issue of 500 copies was sold out rapidly, making the name of Black Altar popular in Poland and in other countries as well.

2003/2004

In September 2003 at Selani Studio Black Altar recorded their debut album entitled "Black Altar". It was a great improvement in the development of the band. The new hymns are still more extreme and more technical. "Black Altar" was mixed and mastered at Studio X. For the track "Fire ov Immortal Self" a professional video was recorded. In April 2004 the material is released in the form of CD and a gate-fold LP by the German Christhunt Productions. Odium Rec released a limited to 666 copies hand-numbered with corpse blood cassette version of "Black Altar".

2006

After releasing the debut album Shadow parts with his musicians and as of that moment Black Altar became temporarily a one-man band. In 2006 WarKult Prod from Peru released remastered version of Black Altar "Wrath ov the Gods" (with 4 bonus tracks) as split, slip case cd, with Nebular Mystic (Nor).

​In October 2006 Black Altar finished record session of their second album called "Death Fanaticism".

2008

2nd album “Death Fanaticism” was released on cd by Odium Records.

2009

On 2009 Antichristian Front Rec (Spa) released “Death Fanaticism” on vinyl, limited to 500 copies.

Night Birds Records (Ukr) released „Death Fanaticism” tape version limited to 300 copies and Propaganda Records (Ukr) pro tape limited to 666 copies.

​​On October 2009 7 Gates Rec (Pol) released digi pack A5 version of „Death Fanaticism” album, limited to 500 copies. First 100 with a t-shirt.

2010

On July 2010 Black Altar recorded tracks for mini album "Suicidal Salvation" and for the split Black Altar/Varathron/Thornspawn during the same session.

2013

On January 2013 Black Altar / Varathron / Thornspawn “Emissaries of the Darkened Call” split was finally unleashed by Odium Records as a jewel case cd version and as a deluxe gatefold vinyl limited to 350 copies on black, and to 150 copies on clear vinyl by Floga Rec/Hellsfire Rec from Greece.

BELPHEGOR
COUNTRY: AUSTRIA
GENRE: DIABOLICAL DEATH BLACK METAL ART



BELPHEGOR - IN FASCINATION STREETS STUDIO IN SWEDEN!
[2022.07.06]

Diabolical death metal squadron BELPHEGOR new album "The Devils" scheduled to be released on the 29th of July 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records has been Mixed & mastered at renowned Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates).

Helmuth states: “We have once again changed our formula and worked with another production team for »THE DEVILS«. So we remained thrilled and it was a challenge. To compose, rehearse and record »THE DEVILS« was a great journey, as always. Drums have been recorded by David Diepold and engineered by Randy Castillo. Serpenth and I did the mixing down and mastering with producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio in Örebro/ Sweden. Jens forged us a brilliant and massive soundwall. All sounds exactly as we wanted to in 2022.”

RHYTHM GUITAR RECORDING:

"Get a glimpse of some tracks off the album "THE DEVILS", titled DAMNATION - HÖLLENSTURZ, KINGDOM OF COLD FLESH, TOTENTANZ - DANCE MACABRE and the title track itself. "THE DEVILS" is by far our most diverse and dynamic record in BELPHEGOR history.
We composed, rehearsed, and recorded the album with two different tunings again [Drop A# and A], a lot of extra work for bass and guitar, different strings/ set ups etc, but in the end it was all worth it. This project was a thrilling and challenging experiment, a magickal journey into the abyss. All our inspiration flew in this twelfth full length beast and it sounds exactly as we wanted it to in 2022."
In Musick, Helmuth

NOCTEM - Reveal details on "Credo Certe Ne Cras" new album!

NOCTEM
COUNTRY: SPAIN
GENRE: BLACK DEATH  METAL




NOCTEM - REVEAL DETAILS ON "CREDO CERTE NE CRAS" NEW ALBUM!
[2022.07.22]

Spain's black death metallers NOCTEM have revealed details on the bands sixth full-length album entitled "Credo Certe Ne Cras" to be released via MNRK Heavy on 28th of October 2022.

The blood and fire spewed forth onstage by NOCTEM is a visceral, fitting companion to their unrivaled sound, a vicious black metal assault enhanced with a signature Iberian flourish.

NOCTEM follows that career landmark with a new, definitive masterpiece, merging the crushing cacophony of angry, adrenaline-fueled lust with newfound sorrows and mournful melodic might. "Credo Certe Ne Cras" (“I Believe With Certainty That There is No Tomorrow”) is a work of art. The album demands to be experienced as much as listened to, invoking ritualistic examination.

Check out "We are Omega" music video:

The band comments: "It gives us divine pleasure, and great delight to finally be able to present the first single from our next full-length album to our faithful horde of devils. "We Are Omega" represents a new dawn, and the oncoming album - a new era."
