Music wise "Postmortem Whispering Crows" simply continues where “The I” left off. Having introduced some rock-like solos on the latest full-length these unreleased tracks seem to be characterized by even more open approach to the genre. "Postmortem Whispering Crows" is an epic journey across black death metal with the band's own, unique flare to it.

Quazarre (vocals / guitars) comments:
“One of my all-time greatest inspirations has always been literature of The Young Poland (a modernist period in Polish literature, covering roughly the years between 1890 and 1918). The movement promoted trends of decadence, neo-romanticism, symbolism, catastrophism and impressionism. Having quoted ‘Dzieci Szatana’ (Satans Kinder) by one of the period’s visionary Stanisław Przybyszewski within the lyrics of our “Adventvs” EP, it’s been a logical way for me to immerse both ‘The I’ and ‘Postmortem Whispering Crows’ EP even deeper into the decadent world of other haunted figures associated with the philosophy of their leader. The quoted authors following the period’s concept believed in decadence, an end of all culture, the conflict between humans and their civilization, and the concept of art as the highest value.”

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS BIOGRAPHY

Formed in the year 2000, initially as a studio project and transformed into a live act in 2006, Devilish Impressions is a dominant four-piece Epic Black Death metal band that’s quickly pummeling through the genre and making their way to fans and media around the globe.

Since the horde’s first day, the notion of freedom of choice and will has been a highly prevalent belief and theme amongst the band’s music, imagery and overall message. Devilish Impressions united and began the process of shaping up their spirit and self-consciousness making their initial presence with their debut demo “Eritis sicut Deus; Verbum Diaboli Manet in Aeternum; Vox Vespertilio Act I – Moon Var Dies Irae” which received great attention from fans after the band self-released it in 2002.

Once Devilish Impressions made their introduction to the metal community, they followed up their debut release with their first full-length titled “Plurima Mortis Imago” released in 2006 via Conquer Records. The sophomore release proved to push the band onward as they joined forces with Aeternus for the European “Ageless Void Tour 2006”. A lot of great exposure landed Devilish Impressions a spot as direct support for Marduk on the “Swords in The East” Eastern European run in 2007. After solid touring opportunities and album promotion, Devilish Impressions returned to the studio in May of 2007 to record their forthcoming album titled “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” which was mastered by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio (Belphegor, Krisiun, Dew Scented).

Before release of their full-length sophomore album, Devilish Impressions appeared at the Red Alert Festival supporting bands like Deicide, Suffocation, Benediction and Immolation. The band followed up by ending 2007 with a headliner run across Eastern Europe on the “Verbum Diaboli Tour 2007”. Once “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” was released in 2008 via Conquer Records, international praise was given by fans and press to the band for the record, and allowed Devilish Impressions to reach new heights in their career. The band followed up with the great success of the album by landing a support slot on “The Apostasy European Tour” with Behemoth and Suicide Silence as well as embarking on a tour with Dismember in the UK and Ireland.

In 2008, Devilish Impressions was invited to partake on select shows of “Wacken Road Show 2008” with Overkill, Tristania, Samael and Enslaved. This opened up a solid platform for the band to release “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” via Empire Records and greatly expand the reach of the band’s music. The band followed up this release with a joint home country tour called “Rebel Angels Tour Vol. 3” with Hate. The rest of 2008 proved to be extremely proactive for the band as they supported Satyricon, were offered a co-headliner slot with Rage at Pro Rock Festival and also appeared at Metal Heads Mission Festival with Moonspell, Gorgoroth and Samael.

Once the band had reached this level in their career, they took time to get back into the studio to work on their third full-length album. A lot of time and energy was put into the new album, and “Simulacra” was released in 2012 via Lifeforce Records (EU/North America), Icaros Records (Poland), MSR Productions (Russia, CIS) and Mort Productions (China). The album was voted one of the best melodic black metal/metalgaze album at the 2012 Metal Storm Awards, and of course coupled with ample press and fan feedback from around the globe. This also got the attention of The Flaming Arts Agency that allowed the band to explore many new opportunities.

Devilish Impressions took to the road heavily in support of “Simulacra” and appeared at notable festivals and predominant tour listed below:
· Hard Rock Laager (w/ Samael, Melechesh)
· Carpathian Alliance (co-headliner w/ Dark Funeral, Carpathian Forest)
· Castle Party
· Brutal East
· “Fear No Gods of The East Tour 2013”
· Wave Gotik Treffen (w/ Paradise Lost, Lacrimosa)
· Metal Fest Open Air (w/ Helloween, Accept, Sodom, Down, Satyricon, Destruction)


In the summer of 2013, Devilish Impressions ramped up for their next studio session and made plans to re-enter Hertz Studio for their forthcoming “Adventvs” EP. The new material was mixed and mastered by Arkadiusz Malczewski at Sound Division Studio (Behemoth, Decapitated). To round off a grandioso release, Devilish Impressions had their 2002 demo “Eritis Sicvt Devs” re-mastered and paired with “Adventvs”. The combined album released in 2014 features over an hour of brand new and never before heard material showcasing experimental black metal at its finest. Soon after Devilish Impressions went on the road in support of “Adventvs”, they got the attention from Hammerheart Records that released “Adventvs” as 12” MLP in February 2015.

The emissaries of the devil took the surge of action with the album and hit the road once again, spreading their message across the motherland as part of the tour with Christ Agony and Beheaded. Shortly after, the band appeared at NCM Festival Vol. 4 (co-headliner w/ Vader) and Dark Fest II (w/ Vader, Decapitated, Hate and more). This left the passion raging on all levels and gave Devilish Impressions an easy return to the studio in May 2015 to commence the recording sessions for “The I” – the band’s fourth full-length album which is said to be their darkest, heaviest and most intriguing offering to date. The record features special guest appearances by Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) and Ares (Aeternus, ex-Gorgoroth, ex-Immortal).

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

Ahead of the album’s release Devilish Impressions announced a long awaited tour for their legion of fans in China and Taiwan supporting the “Simulacra” record, released in China through Mort Productions in September 2016. The trek lasted for nearly a month and is believed to be the most extensive tour any foreign metal band had ever played there.

In the meantime, Devilish Impressions joins the roster of New York based Extreme Management Group alongside notable bands such as Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Origin, Cryptopsy, Atheist, Rings Of Saturn, King Parrot, Internal Bleeding and many more. With the newfound partnership, both sides worked together in making the band’s future endeavors the most prominent and impactful with their fans respectively and the rest of the metal genre.

“The I” album hits the stores on September 22nd 2017, again via Lifeforce Records. Released to a rave reviews worldwide it enables Devilish Impressions to hit the road with Norway’s Endezzma for a row of gigs across their motherland. This was followed by the group’s headlining appearance at Metal Head’s Mission / Black Sea Storm Festival 2018.

In January 2019 Devilish Impressions headlined Dark Winter Meeting Festival in Malta. June saw them touring South Asia, this time around reaching out to fans in Indonesia (The Karnival Festival, co-headliner with Pestilence), Hong Kong and Singapore.

Upon their return from Asia Devilish Impressions announced signing with Non Serviam Records for the release of “Postmortem Whispering Crows” EP – a follow up to their critically acclaimed 4th studio record “The I”. Music wise “Postmortem Whispering Crows” simply continues where “The I” left off. Having introduced some rock-like solos on the latest full-length these unreleased tracks seem to be characterized by even more open approach to the genre. “Postmortem Whispering Crows” set to be out in September 13th 2019 is an epic journey across Black Death Metal with the band’s own, unique flare to it.

The band has recently confirmed its appearance at Metal Mine Festival in August (w/ Asphyx, Harakiri For The Sky) with European tour in the making.

DEMONICAL BIOGRAPHY:

Demonical was spawned in March 2006 by former Centinex members Johan Jansson (guitars & vocals), Martin Schulman (bass) and Ronnie Bergerstål (drums) with a mission to return to the roots of death metal and deliver a sheer dose of darkness and brutality.

The first audio assault, a four-track promo attack entitled “Bloodspell Divine”, was recorded at Necromorbus Studios during July the same year. In November 2006, Demonical added vocalist Ludvig Engellau to the line-up (because Johan wanted to fully concentrate on the six-string axe) and signed a worldwide multi-album deal with the German label Cyclone Empire.

The band’s first full-length album, “Servants of The Unlight”, was recorded at both Black Lounge and Necromorbus Studios during January and February 2007 and released in April the same year.

In November 2007, Temple of Darkness released a limited Demonical/Absu 7″ EP featuring one track from the “Bloodspell Divine” promo. In December 2007, the band parted ways with vocalist Ludvig Engellau due to musical and personal reasons.

Demonical continued for a few months with various session vocalists until late March 2008, when Sverker “Widda” Widgren came on board as the new fulltime frontman.

The band's second full-length album, “Hellsworn”, was recorded at Necromorbus Studios between December 2008 and February 2009 and released by Cyclone Empire in May 2009.

A split 7″ EP called “Imperial Anthems Vol.1” with Paganizer was released by Cyclone Empire in early 2010. This limited vinyl featured an exclusive Demonical track recorded at the “Hellsworn” session.

In September 2010, Demonical once again entered Necromorbus Studios in order to record “Death Infernal”, their anticipated third full-length album. The album was recorded throughout the fall and released in Europe by Cyclone Empire (April 2011) and in North America by Metal Blade (July 2011).

During the fall of 2011, drummer Ronnie Bergerstål decided to leave the band due to scheduling conflicts and he was replaced by Fredrik Widigs. After “Death Infernal” was released the band decided to add a second guitarist for live situations. A few session members were used at several tours until Daniel Gustavsson joined as a full-time member during the summer 2012.

The first half of 2013 was spent at both Necromorbus and Wing Studios in Stockholm with the recordings of the bands fourth album, “Darkness Unbound”. After the recording a line-up change took place with Johan Haglund replacing Johan Jansson and Ämir Batar replacing Fredrik Widigs. “Darkness Unbound” was released worldwide in November 2013. A limited split 7”EP with Nunslaughter, entitled “European Deathcharge”, was released in July 2014 in support of both bands joint co-headlining tour.

In December 2014, Demonical both parted ways with drummer Ämir Batar and guitarist Daniel Gustavsson as well as inked a new worldwide deal with Agonia Records. The first release for their new label-home, a four track MCD entitled “Black Flesh Redemption”, was recorded at Wing Studios in early 2015 and released in April. The recording featured session members Eki Kumpulainen on guitar and Kennet Englund on drums.

In early 2017, the band parted with long time vocalist Sverker Widgren, due to time- and priority related matters, and replaced him with Alexander Högbom. At the same time guitarist Eki Kumpulainen and drummer Kennet Englund became permanent members of Demonical making the band a solid and stable unity ready for the things to come. During the fall of 2017, Demonical recorded their fifth full-length album entitled “Chaos Manifesto” - together with the award-winning Swedish producer Karl Daniel Lidén - for a March 2018 release through Agonia Records.

In the summer of 2019, both vocalist Alexander Högbom and drummer Kennet Englund decided to leave the band due to time- and motivation related issues once the touring cycle was finished. Demonical recorded their sixth album, “World Domination”, during the summer 2020. The album was released in October 2020, and it marked the return of original drummer Ronnie Bergerstål and debut for new vocalist Christofer Säterdal.

As the worldwide pandemic was raging across the globe during 2020 and 2021, all planned shows and tours were cancelled. Instead of just sitting and waiting for better times, the band focused on writing new material and the result became “Mass Destroyer”, the seventh full-length. “Mass Destroyer” was recorded during the summer of 2021 with the same production team as last time, resulting in a fresh and dynamic disc packed with Stockholm style death metal.

The album came out in May 2022 and was supported by tours and several festival appearances.

In October 2022, Agonia Records released “In League with Death”, a five track EP featuring rare and unreleased material.

In early 2023, vocalist Christofer Säterdal left the band due to family related matters and was replaced by Charlie Fryksell. A new two track EP, “Into Victory”, was released in March 2023 presenting the new line-up and showcasing the bands path forward.

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.
