It has been over 3 years since my last post on this blog so I thought I'd better kick off again strong. This is a band that I have had the great pleasure of seeing live, although completely by a very happy accident.
In January this year I travelled to Copenhagen in Denmark for a long weekend by myself and I knew that a band I had vaguely heard of - Icelandic atmospheric black metal band Auþn - would be playing BETA in Amagerbro on my final night in the city. I wandered over there and got there early, having almost not gone due to feeling ill.
Opening for Auþn were a Danish band called Sunken. I've been to Copenhagen several times but this was the first time for me to experience Danish metal live, and Sunken's brand of black metal is simply spectacular. They filled the room within minutes of coming on and the blackness of the room really leant itself to the incredible sound this band was creating in support of their debut record - Departure.
What really grabs you about this record is the intensity with which it kicks in after the instrumental opener. Track two - Void - is a 9 and a half minute masterpiece of black metal. Beautifully haunting guitar melodies give was to shrieking vocals and just enormous energy as the track seems to build and build forever. Track 3 - the self titled Sunken - begins with the sounds of the sea and again this haunting guitar line that runs so well through the whole record. The intro to the song could easily be from something far proggier, but soon enough kicks in to one of the filthiest, most aggressive tracks you could hope to hear. It's something that sticks for the entire record, and this is one that is definitely worth picking up.
This is a band that are going to go places. Unfortunately their next tour is not bringing them to the UK, however they are heading through France, Germany and Poland, kicking off in Wolfsburg, Germany on the 25th of this month. If you get the chance, please, please do yourself a favour and go and see this band. You will not regret it.

Chaosium - MMXV - Serbian Death Metal
I have to admit that I’m not sure I could name a single
metal band from Serbia, or actually even all that much at all to have come out
of Serbia other than a couple of footballers, so finding Chaosium by chance
browsing online was interesting. From Jagodina, a town 85 miles south of
Belgrade with a population of just over 36,000, Chaosium have recently released
three tracks, together titled ‘MMXV’.
‘All Safety Mutates’ is the first track, dead on five
minutes and a track that really grabs you after a strangely fitting
electronic-y, eerie intro, with sounds like dentist tools mixed in with echoing
machine noises. Chaosium are a band of real substance in their chuggy, hard and
heavy riffs with some very At The Gates/Arch Enemy sounding vocals at times. ‘Malicious
Design’, the second track on the release kicks straight in for 4 minutes of
faster paced music, and it’s in this track that the production really shines
through, what is clear is that a lot of time and effort has gone into making
the sound on the record next to perfect, with some very Demigod-era Behemoth
sounds just before the solo. Listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. Final
track ‘Tyranny’ is also a great track, and it’s really a shame that this is the
final track on the record, but it is obvious that this is a band that given
time really have the potential to go places, I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes
peeled for more from Chaosium.

Noisem - Blossoming Decay - Baltimore Loud Stuff
Maybe it’s fitting that Baltimore’s Noisem have dropped
their album today in the wake of all that has been going on in their home town
recently. The band have released their new album ‘Blossoming Decay’ via their
Bandcamp page today, with physical copies currently available on pre-order. The
band have been busy since their only other full length to date – 2013’s ‘Agony
Defined’ was followed by the single ‘Defiled’ in 2014, a covers split with
Occultist and ‘Consumed’ – an EP coming out in the later part of the same year.
Blossoming Decay’s opening track ‘Trail of Pertubation’
fades in discordant fuzz before launching into a bruising sonic attack that
remains lovely, loud and grindy for the entire record. Second track ‘Burning’
gives you a feeling you can’t quite place, a sound somewhere in the Napalm
Death sort of sphere and punishingly aggressive. Hostile End – Hollow Life finally
gives you time to catch your breath, though not until half way through the
track where speed and aggression gives way to a slow, harsh, creepy interlude
lasting all the way into one minute into the sixth track, Cascade of Stars,
where there’s an almost Slayer-ish Seasons In The Abyss type feel to proceedings
before the pace is back again. Not afraid to mix in a bit of groove and a
slower tempo now and then, Noisem have put together a fantastically strong
release here, combining some catchy as anything riffs with aggression and
harshness from start to finish.
Noisem have certainly been gaining wider attention recently,
having supported Repulsion and Pig Destroyer this week, as well as attention
from Decibel magazine, really showing how much this band has come on since that
first release of ‘Agony Defined’. This album is hopefully what will push them
to the next level, they’ve done a cracking job on it.

Scumguts - Scumguts - Australia's Finest
Aussie grind/death.powerviolence lot Scumguts put out their
self titled album back in January, and it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve
heard this year. Though only totalling around fifteen minutes, it’s a fantastic
way to spend a quarter of an hour. Relentlessly savage from start to finish,
Scumguts hurtle through at a million miles an hour with some of the most
intensely aggressive music I’ve heard in ages, plus some of the guitar work is
has a fantastic groove to it, which is perhaps sometimes a bit of a rarity in a lot of bands who
put out PV stuff. The guitar riff in Blind (track 8) is simple but so
infectious, giving Scumguts a different feel within the realm of PV/Grind
whilst still being very much in that bracket.
Australia seems to be doing something right, every time I
trawl through Bandcamp there seems to be a disproportionate amount of Aussie
bands showing up, but Scumguts is certainly the best I’ve found out of
Australia, and this record seems pretty likely to end up in my top 20 of the
year. Scumguts are set apart from the rest by the fact that they have combined
the crusty, unrelenting aggression with some genuinely musically good tracks.
Picks for me are ‘Blind’, ‘Awakened’, ‘Sixty Trillion Tonnes of Shit’ and ‘Sons
of Northern Queensland’ but honestly it’s so, so hard to pick favourites. The
record doesn’t have weak moments, it’s an incredible solid album and one that
will remain in my regular playlist for a long time. If they ever get to England I'll be there to see them play.
Do yourself a favour and download this album

Agonie - Nemesis EP 2015 - German Black Metal
Agonie – Nemesis EP 2015 – German Black
Metal
I hadn't heard of Agonie until I was browsing through EP's
and demo's on Bandcamp earlier this week, and of the twenty or so records I
downloaded, Agonie is the pick of the bunch. That's not something to say
lightly either, with Black Falcon, Basura and Scumguts all producing stellar
offerings. Agonie though, with their three track EP 'Nemesis' really steals the
show.
Hailing from Germany, Agonie take their brand of black metal
back to the early days with a really harsh and hateful 16 minutes between two
of their own songs and a cover of 'Kriecht Zu Kreuze' by Zerfall (No, I don't
know of Zerfall, either but they're on my ever growing list of bands to check
out.)
The title track, Nemesis is one of the strongest openers I've
heard on an EP for a long time, it's powerful, it's raw, it's loud and angry,
it's everything you would want it to be. Agonie have also managed to avoid
falling into the various traps littered around the black metal scene. Whilst
the recordings remain raw and harsh, they have achieved a fantastic BM sound
without putting out a woefully underproduced record as so many bands do. By the
same token though they haven’t gone the other way either, leaving that harsh
sound in without TOO much of a clean up of the recording. They’ve got the
balance absolutely right.
Second is ‘Aufgelost in Wohlgefallen’ – which according to
google means ‘Situated Lost in Pleasure’. I’m not sure that’s actually what is
being got at with the title, but it’s an ace track anyway. Continuing in much
the same vein as Nemesis, the two original tracks on this EP really give you a
feel for what Agonie are all about, harshness in the extreme, all superbly
done.
The cover ‘Kreicht Zu Kreutze’ is also outstanding. As I’ve
said, I don’t know Zerfall, the band who originally recorded the song, but the
way Agonie have gone about it almost makes me not want to. It’s a great track
and I almost don’t want to be able to compare the two, Agonie have clearly done
a stellar job with the cover, and the original would do well to be any better.
The EP is available as a physical copy through contacting the
band on their Facebook page, although only 25 copies have been made - https://www.facebook.com/agonie.black.metal?fref=ts
And you can download Nemesis, as well as 2014’s release ‘Mammon’
from the bands Bandcamp page - https://agonieblackmetal.bandcamp.com/releases
Please do check out Agonie, they are an excellent band, and
this is 16 minutes of black metal that you need to hear.

Desecrated (SWE) - Oblivion EP
Sweden has produced a
massive amount of quality death metal, and here in the form of
Norrkoping's Desecrated, they've served up another belter.
Looking through their
bio on the bands Facebook page, it's clear to see that this lot have
evolved massively from their original days as a heavy metal project
by guitarist Erik and their ex-drummer, although the band played
under the name Metalonium at that point. Still, to have come from
that to producing what they are doing now, it's obvious that they've
worked hard to develop what is a truly crushing sound.
From the outset you can
tell that there's a lot of Bloodbath in the mix here, but certainly
drawing on them rather than ripping them off as so many new death
metal bands do. Desecrated certainly fit firmly into the death metal
genre but still achieve their own sound, largely achieved by vocalist
Micke Karlsson's incredible visceral growls.
The track that first
took me to the band was 'Infernal Evisceration' which I actually
stumbled upon through Reddit's 'headbang to this' sub. I tend to only
check the sub once in a blue moon but this time it really has been
worthwhile. From that track I found the band's Youtube channel which
has a whole bunch of other songs uploaded, including 'Oblivion',
probably my favourite of the bunch, with a more black metally vocal
over the top of some seriously crushing music.
Desecrated are
definitely one of my favourite finds of the year so far, taking all
the best parts of death metal and giving it a fresh kick up the arse
to make something absolutely incredible in the form of the 'Oblivion'
EP.
Desecrated are on
Facebook here:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/DESECRATED/399689540087965
You can hear their
fantastic music here on Youtube :
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQHPDXM0AQP34UUTqP4rEw
Please do give them a
go if you're a death metal fan, they are absolutely fantastic. Jag
tycker om Desecrated!

from blogging the time has come to start doing this again.

Bloodstock Festival 2014!
Bloodstock Festival
has become an annual pilgrimage for me, having not missed one since
2008. Unquestionably the best metal event of the year in this
country, 2014's edition of the festival was brilliant as always.
Boasting Emperor, Megadeth and Down as
headliners, the festival continues to grow year on year attracting
many bigger bands, but without losing sight of the unsigned and up
and coming groups, which for me is part of what sets it apart from
the bigger and noticeably soulless Download and Sonisphere.
For the 7th
year in a row, I made my way to the festival site by train, then by
cab rather than the usual shuttle bus, and arrived in the glorious
sunshine on the Thursday, looking forward in particular to Monument
and Jaldaboath that evening on the Sophie Stage, before the
festival kicked off in full on the Friday. Alas, I didn't make it to
the Sophie Stage at all that evening. Who knew that starting drinking
with a breakfast can of Magners and drinking throughout the day with
no food until it was already too late could make you ill? My evening
ended with regurgitated ravioli being spewed over the majority of the
left hand side of the Midgard campsite as you enter from the arena.
I'll catch Monument and Jaldaboath somewhere, sometime though.
So Bloodstock musically
really started for me on the Friday. I had intended to see Bloodshot
Dawn open the main stage, but was a little late due to a hangover
from the aforementioned ravioli spewing, but also was caught up
walking through the arena by the sound of Gurt, who were
playing the Sophie Lancaster tent at the same time. Their
doomy/sludgy sound isn't something I'm overly familiar with so
forgive my lack of any real knowledgable input here, but Gurt were a
great discovery, check them out.
Entombed A.D
(not Entombed) took to the main stage next, so called due to a
dispute over who owns the band name, the same thing we saw with
Gorgoroth a while back. Unfortunately I'm rather in the minority when
it comes to Entombed, I prefer the later stuff to your Wolverine
Blues or Left Hand Path, but for the majority I'm sure it went down
as a really good, old school Entombed set. I'll have to save my
enthusiasm for a later tour when they play the less popular new
stuff.
Ireland's Primordial
are up next, and they're one that myself and a lot of people I know
were really looking forward to. The last time they played this
festival, front man Nemtheanga overdid it and damaged his voice so
badly that he couldn't continue the performance. This time, his voice
is noticeably less visceral, but no less impressive. Primordial smash
through pretty much everything you could hope for from them, the only
slight disappointment for me was the lack of Gallows Hymn, which is
by far my favourite song they have done. Still, good job, Primordial,
good to see you guys back here again after so long.
A need for lunch and a
total cock up in timekeeping meant that I missed the seriously
impressive De Profundis, who have just supported Demonic
Resurrection on their UK tour. I caught De Profundis at Out of the
Ashes festival in 2013 and was seriously impressed by them, they're
certainly a band to see if you get the chance.
Triptykon are
pretty much the natural progression of Celtic Frost after they
disbanded in unpleasant circumstances after the absolutely incredible
Monotheist album. Slow and crushingly heavy, Tom Fischer's ensemble
effortlessly create an incredible stage presence without actually
really doing that much. Maybe it's the nature of the music, maybe
it's the incredible respect that I and so many others have for Tom,
but the fact that he is a genuine legend in our music almost doesn't
register, such is the humble nature of the man. A real personal hero
of mine, it's good to see him finally crack a smile to break his
usual sullen appearance.
Once Triptykon finish
crushing the main stage, it's time to check out England's very own
black metal monolith – Winterfylleth. Unfortunately, the
heavens open and the Sophie Stage tent is absolutely packed out,
there's no way I could have got in without being packed in like a
sardine. Disappointing not to be able to catch them this time, but
they are playing in London with Ancient Ascendant and Ethereal very
soon, so all is not lost!
The rain keeps coming
meaning that I take refuge in the tent until it's time for Dimmu
Borgir to take the stage. Anyone who knows me will know that I
absolutely love this band, and anyone who was there will know that
the sound team horrible let us down. When they finally did get the
sound sorted out, they were fantastic, but it was so disappointing to
see them unable to create their full symphonic black metal majesty
because of the poor sound for the first half of their set.
Phil Anselmo's Down
then take to the main stage, but they aren't my thing, so it's back
to the Sophie tent to see Rotting Christ. One of those bands
that I've always heard of but never listened to, Rotting Christ are
impressive in their stage presence and in musically, and the tent is
well pleased by the set as a whole. A good end to the night.
On Saturday morning, a
massive crowd is assembled for the mighty, mighty Evil Scarecrow.
Bloodstock loves these guys, they are absolutely bloody ridiculous,
and at the same time are an excellent band, and they've always gone
down well here over the years. The crowd for them opening the main
stage on Saturday morning is probably bigger than the crowd for Dimmu
Borgir the night before, and everyone gets involved in a mass
scuttling during Crabulon, drawing their own perfect robot square in
Robototron, marching in whatever song it is that goes “I'm looking
for war, have you seen her?” and, my highlight, improvised party
poppers by throwing grass into the air. They've just achieved their
goal in a kickstarter for their second album, which I'm sure will be
equally silly. Evil Scarecrow are just one of those bands you HAVE to
see at least once. Unless you don't like fun of course.
The searing heat
unfortunately meant that I didn't catch all of Decapitated's
set, although opinion was pretty much unanimous that they played an
absolute blinder of a show. Again, I'm not too familiar with their
music, but you know when you see a band at a festival and you know
you have to check them out when you get home? Yeah, they're one of
them. Absolutely brilliant.
Lacuna Coil are
a strange one for me, not a band I would have thought I would have
liked, but having had a Bloodstock playlist going for the past couple
of days before the festival, I realised that actually, they're pretty
good. Live, they really know what they're doing. They even played Our
Truth, which is the only song I know about them, apologies to the
bloke in front of me for having to put up with my singing along.
Children of Bodom
then produced what was for me one of the best shows of the weekend. A
real mixed bag going through pretty much every album (though nothing
from Blooddrunk if I recall correctly), Bodom have really sorted
their shit out. The last couple of times I've seen them they've been
pissed on stage, forgetting how the songs are meant to go, Alexi
blaming Janne for cock-ups etc. But this time, Bodom are absolutely
incredible. Alexi proves just how good a guitarist and frontman he
really is, as Bodom power through Lake Bodom, Angels Don't Kill and
Hate Me. I forget the exact setlist because honestly, I was going a
little bit over the top with the old headbanging/air guitar. But
Christ, Children of Bodom, thank you for that. I still love you.
You know how earlier I
said about you have to see Evil Scarecrow unless you don't like fun?
Well Jeff from Carcass doesn't seem to like fun. “The
trouble with festivals is you have to wait for all the shit bands to
finish before you can play” he says. That's not a fun thing to say,
that's a bit of a knobby thing to say really. Anyway, Carcass are
okay, they cover a fair amount of their old grindy stuff, but for me,
they get a bit boring after a while. Sorry.
Emperor are
headlining tonight with the 20th anniversary of the In The
Nightside Eclipse album show. “We are now complete again” says
Ihsahn, the vocalist, referring to the band being re-joined by their
infamous drummer Faust, who has been released from prison after
serving his time for the murder of a gay man in Norway in the 90s.
It's a little uneasy watching Emperor, and the crowd's reaction seems
decidedly mixed towards the return of Faust. Still, overall Emperor
go down a storm with the Bloodstock crowd and even throw in a Bathory
cover for good measure.
Sunday starts with an
absolute deluge falling on our heads. Emerging from a leaky, wet
tent, I eventually managed to get into the Sophie Stage for the
splendid Haerken. Their brand of medieval themed thrashy death
metal has the tent absolutely heaving, and a full scale inflatable
war breaks out after the band throw out dozens of inflatable maces
and swords, which kept rearing their heads for the rest of the
weekends. It was Haerken's last show with their current drummer, I
did speak to the singer (apologies, I can't for the life of me
remember his name) and he handed me some flyers to give out about
them seeking a drummer. If I handed one to you, please do get in
touch with them, they're an absolutely brilliant band. If I didn't
hand you one, find them on Facebook and give them a shout. They're
based in the midlands though so do keep that in mind. Anyway, I'm
babbling. Haerken were fantastic as always.
Morgue Orgy are
a band I've managed to see a few times. At Beermageddon last year,
they gave me a copy of their album “Murder's Most Foul” on the
condition that I elbow dropped another CD, and at Out of the Ashes
this year, they gave my brother an award for having the most fun
during their set. This time, my brother took frankfurters into the
stage with him and they eventually ended up on stage with the band,
before being hurled into the audience again. Morgue Orgy are
tremendous fun, but again, like Evil Scarecrow, they don't use fun to
compensate for a lack in quality, they are fun and at the same time
they are absolutely brilliant. The stage was again full for their set
because of the stormy weather outside, but surely they must have won
plenty of people over who came in to avoid the weather. Absolutely
brilliant band, and certainly one of the most fun bands I've ever
seen. With Evil Scarecrow, people know they're silly, they're
expected to be silly. With Morgue Orgy they're not expected to be
silly really, unless you've seen them before. A truly excellent band
and I hope they can be given a main stage slot in the future.
Next, and still on the
same stage, are Voices. I liked Akercocke as much as the next
man, but it does seem like Voices are only on the bill because of
that connection. Maybe I'm missing something with their brand of
blackened death metal, but there's no stage presence, and nothing
particularly interesting in the music for me. I'm sure there are
plenty of people who will disagree and that's absolutely fair enough.
Anyone who reads my blog regularly will know that I don't like to
mention bands that I don't enjoy. Any band that isn't to my taste
doesn't deserve to be badmouthed by me because I know full well that
others will like them.
Obituary are
next on the main stage, but the wind really doesn't do them any
favours. Of course there's nothing anyone can really do to combat the
weather, and Obituary are a fantastic band, but the poor sound meant
that I went to the New Blood stage for the first time, to catch one
of the bands I'm most looking forward to seeing – Scordatura.
OH MY GOOD GOD
SCORDATURA. You know when you see a band for the first time
and they just do everything right? These Scots are a band I've been
aware of for a long while, they seem to play with Cancerous Womb a
fair bit, that's certainly how I first became aware of them anyway.
With a little help on the bass from Unfathomable Ruination,
Scordatura absolutely smash the living shit out of the New Blood
Stage. With a huge amount of people coming in from the main stage,
the vocalist calls everyone bastards for having had the chance to see
Obituary. Honestly without even the slightest hint of exaggeration, I
was more impressed with Scordatura at Bloodstock than I was with
Obituary at the Garage in London when they played a couple of years
ago. Seriously, if you get the chance, go and see Scordatura. Also,
they have their album and t shirts for sale on their bigcartel for £5
each. Go and buy their stuff, but leave one of each for me, I can't
order mine until payday. Absolutely my band of the weekend.
Back to the main stage
having had my mind blown by Scordatura for Saxon. I wouldn't
say I'm a massive Saxon fan by any stretch of the imagination, but
they're decent enough and their setlist is solid enough to keep me
interested for the duration. Dave Mustaine even makes an appearance
on Demin and Leather, after Saxon have powered their way through 747
(Strangers in the Night), Wheels of Steel and And the Bands Played
on, but I can't recall any of their other tracks that they played.
They were decent enough, but I was still getting myself together
after the onslaught I'd just received on the New Blood Stage.
After that, it's Amon
Amarth, who are the headliners for me as I'm not a fan of
Megadeth or Satan. Not a bad way to sign off for the
weekend though as they come out with giant dragon heads shooting
smoke out of their mouths and more fireworks than you can shake a
Mjollnir at. A good mix of old and new tracks from the Vikings, with
tracks from Deceiver of the Gods, the Fate of Norns, With Odin On Our
Side and a bunch of others. There's no Without Fear in the setlist
which is a little disappointing, and I can not wait for the day I see
them play Under The Northern Star live. Johann is his usual jolly
massive Viking guy self and visibly enjoys every minute of the show.
A great way to sign off from Bloodstock 2014.
Weirdly, no
announcement of next years headliner as we've become accustomed to
over the past few years, but we're told that an announcement is
coming soon! My money is firmly on Judas Priest.

Saccage - Vorace - French Canadian Crust/Grind
Saccage have been about since 2007 and are following up "Death Crust Satanique" from 2012 with this years "Vorace". The album itself is still yet to become available in physical form, but you can get a free download of it from their Bandcamp page, and it is well worth getting.
Very much in the same ballpark as the likes of Toxic Holocaust and Fukpig, these guys blend your regular d-beat, crusty-as-anything grind with death growls, black metal rasps and a shitload of riffage. The vocals though tend to vary a lot more track-to-track than you would get with the likes of Fukpig. It does have the harsh rasping you would expect from grind, but that sprinkling of chanting on "Musique Malsaine Pour Monde A Problemes" (which according to Google translates as 'Unhealthy Music For A World Problems', which probably isn't too far off) gives Saccage something else, as well as the growls and shrieks to be found throughout the release.
It is only a four track release, hence this blog being maybe not as long as they usually are, but it is completely free to download from their Bandcamp page and I really enjoy it.
Definitely one to check out, and if you do fancy a bit of a speculative spend, give "Death Crust Satanique" a go too.
You know the drill for the rest of this. Follow me on Twitter with @bigmetalbastard
And click on www.londonwebmaps.co.uk - the site I work on for my job.
More blog stuff coming soon, not sure what it'll be looking at but there are some cracking releases I've got hold of recently. Keep your eyes peeled!
