Well, when talking about ‘sonic confusion’ (isn’t that a subject we’re dealing with every single day? no?), please enter Necrosadik. Nowadays this Mexican one-man outfit, formed in 2008, implements some metalized elements, but that wasn’t the case in the past. Katharsis is a perfect example of this schizoid outfit. I firstly ‘met’ them thanks, once again, to Satanath’s master brain ;-) Aleksey, by the way…
Weltfeind is a new label (actually it started in 2013), with three releases until now. It was founded by D., the guy who runs the superb Martial Industrial-label Castellum Stoufenburc as well.
I have to admit that I am not that trusted with the Grind-scene from Australia; on the contrary. I even wasn’t trusted with Blastafuk Grindcore’s roster, but apparently this must be one of the most prominent Grind-labels from Down Under. Will Internal Rot start the new hype?
In June 2014, Dawn Of A Dark Age released their first chapter of a six-piece concept about the six elements. Six? Well, actually, this hexaptych will deal with five elements, i.e. earth, water, fire, air and spirit, each sonically defined in an own album, with the sixth part being some general conclusion.
The Kerala, India-based act Chaos released a demo in 2009 with the name Violent Redemption, but since most tracks differ, you cannot call this album just a re-release, and nothing more either. This just for your sweet information…
Vermiin are a new project, formed very recently by John Stillings, the guy behind Steel Hook Prostheses (and part of the Kerrstillingskozletskynyströmpetrus-collaboration), and Bathory Legion. John co-operated with Bathory Legion before (even live), so that explains the cohesive interaction of both parties.
I have to admit that I did not know any of both projects involved with this split, but I wonder: did you? Actually, this split, with two US-based bands, will see the light via upcoming Magic Bullet Records, evidently via the digital channel, as well as on both black and white vinyl.
Spires were formed in 2008 in Manchester, U.K., by guitarist / vocalist and producer Paul Sadler. Shortly after, with a fix line-up (including Paul Cuthbert), Spires recorded a first album, Spiral Of Ascension, which was reviewed very positively by the international press. Our own colleague Tony wrote a very honourable review, which you can still read on Concreteweb (see update February 8th 2011, Archive-tab).
Raggradarh are a very productive solo-outfit by a very productive Bulgarian human being, Georgi ‘Erilyne’ Georgiev. You might know him as well from bands or solo-outfits such as Aeonless (their new Vacula-album Underearth Horizons, by the way, will be reviewed in a very near future), Forgotten Forests, Calth or Perverse Monastyr, amongst others (often under different pseudonyms).
A very young band from Ukraine is this one: My Dying World ‘Mako’, formed in Autumn 2013 by former DEC’50’s Sergey ‘Mako’ Tereschenko. He wrote some material, and after about ten months, he was joined by Artur ‘Shadow’ Goncharov on guitars. In mean time also a vocalist was recruited, i.e. Nikita ‘Ioria’ Eremeev.
