Sadismo--Atrocidad (CS) (2026 Independent) (review done by AOS)


Written and performed by Juan Usurper, who spent significant time in early line ups of Proclamation and Teitanblood, this demo tape has nine songs in twenty minutes. Expect plenty of blasts, schismatic solos and Spanish vocals over brute force riffs. It sounds like an early Cogumelo band has been placed in a blender with a strong dose of Vomitor, which is a description designed to excite maniacs. Apparently recorded on an 8 track, this one man band has great potential. I'd like to see the next recording be done with a full band, but if it isn't, I don't think it would matter a lot. He is quite competent on all instruments, albeit played in the classic frantic style as mentioned above. The music hits its hardest when it slows down a bit (see track 6 for example) which gives it a chance to create more distinctive mood and feeling amongst the controlled chaos, as the blasts tread very closely to early Sarcofago at times (sometimes too closely). If you're a demo tape kinda maniac like me, then add this one to your list. It hits a certain spot.

Signs of the Evil--Calling the Ancient Legions Under the Red Moon (CS) {2026 Infernal Arts Productions} (review done by AOS)


Forming in Peru before relocating to the US, Signs of the Evil are a traditional unholy Black Metal band, spewing forth their second full length, titled ‘Calling the Ancient Legions Under the Red Moon’. I had not heard them prior to this moment, despite origins dating back to 2002, but this is one mighty and crushing performance, full of genuine inspiration from old (un)gods of the BM scene, such as Necromantia, Rotting Christ, Varathron and a touch of Burzum. From these comparisons, you can tell that they aren’t obsessed with speed for the sake of it, instead they create dark and sadistic atmosphere with mood. This is then encapsulated in an unmistakable Peruvian approach… think of Goat Semen, Saram and a touch of Levifer. These elements are less apparent than the prior mentioned, but they are undeniable to my ears. It all combines to give you this torturous, violent and dark maelstrom. The band is strongly grounded in an anti-Christian ethos, which is something I respect to the fullest. It seems this theme has lost impact for some in recent years, given how detached from the shackles of religion the youth have become since the 1980’s and the rise of Satanic bands of that era. But for me, the impact and message remains strong in the Underground - religion is a poison and you must stay vigilant against it. Bands like Signs of the Evil are an echo of the past. A reminder that the war against dogma is eternal. But I digress.. let’s get back to the music! If you want to hear the best this band has to offer, go straight to track four and five; Glory & Pride / Rituale Fragellationi. The two songs stand out and show the listener that these guys are no pretenders. If this doesn’t inspire you to order a copy of this fine album, then you should just admit that you are a poser. Tape now out on Infernal Arts Prod. I’m sure other formats will follow…

Desecresy - The Secret of Death CD{Xtreem Music}{Review done by AOS}




Eight incredible tracks of Death Metal necro-hymns in 42 minutes. Let’s analyze what we have here… For any band with music created and performed by one person, there are certain risks involved. You are insulated from other ideas and mutations upon your own creativity, which can actually become stifling. Seldom does it result in anything worthwhile. But Desecresy is a rare exception, where the mastermind behind the band has consistently delved deeper and further into dark, mystic and creative territory with each album. It’s like he has embraced the cold darkness of Finnish winter, and chose to immerse himself into an inner exploration of sounds and dimension… You can tangibly hear the growth with each recording. This is Tommi’s 9th full length under the Desecresy moniker, since the bands creation in 2009 after the demise of Slugathor. What you get is eight tracks of downtuned Death Metal, evoking cosmic landscapes of apocalypse and necromancy. I could describe it as a blend of atmosphere, a hypnotic and throbbing vortex, which occasionally bursts with speed and then swings back into a pounding tempo. The vocals remain as deep as humanly possible, serving more as another instrument. From start to finish, The Secret of Death leaves you as an empty vessel of decay… Get this! Out on Xtreem Music (Spa).                                                                                                                                      Xtreem Music                                                                                                                                                https://www.xtreemmusic.com/                                                                                                                  https://xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-secret-of-death                                                                https://www.facebook.com/xtreemmusic666?fref=ts                                                                                  https://www.instagram.com/xtreemmusic/                                                                                                     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIY1pmnZPTE
