Eternal Sex And War

Quality Steel Records aren’t that known (yet), but they came up with quite some fabulous releases lately. And then I am talking about material by the likes of Ajuna, King Fear, Divine:Zero, Harasai or Karne. You can find the reviews on these band’s last releases on the site, or you will find them in a very near future, by the way.

A.П.

A.П. are a Russian act that, if I am not mistaken, have this EP as sole official release. The stuff was recorded at the Premier Studio, and the ten tracks last for just under eighteen minutes only. Indeed, it means ten short songs.

Murmurs

Swedish duo Murmurs very recently split up; don’t ask me why because I do not know. In 2012 Ulf and Dísa recorded the full length Fædd Úr Eldi (via Australia’s Parkbench Records), but that’s the sole official release, except for a handful of demos.

Mal Etre

Mal Etre are a Swiss project by Nocturnalpriest, who’s also active with blackened outfits Malvoisie, Baalshamin, Parämnesia and Polish horde Funebrum. After a handful of demos, Mal Etre released a first full length in 2010, Torment, via the great Kunsthauch-label. It was one of the most surprising albums that very same year, I think.

Lycanthropy

I don’t know anymore how many Extreme Metal acts there are with the moniker Lycanthropy. But this review deals with the extremely productive one from Orel, Russia, close to the borders with Ukraine and Belarus. The city of Orel, by the way, isn’t that far away from the city of Voronezh, known for a very vivid Metal-scene, and house of another act called Lycanthropy (though defunct in mean time) – FYI.

Light

Light are a Berlin-based trio (Ray-v/g/k, C-d, and Sky-b), formed in 2010. They released a (very limited) demo-CD in 2012, called Ignition, from which all tracks appear on their debut full length as well, though with another title. This debut studio full album gets released via Germany’s Black Warcult Productions, a label that was active during the era 2003-2006 especially.

Khristenn Corpse

The Venezuelan band Khristenn Corpse was formed a decade ago, and they released two demos and one full length in mean time, respectively the independently released EP’s The Khristenn Corpse and Bloodmiracle (2005 and 2010), and the LP/CD Grotesque (2011, via Argentinian Misanthropic Spirit Records). The American label Temptations Of Resonance Records will now re-issue the second demo, Bloodmiracle, though in a very limited edition.

Horn Of The Rhino

Horn Of The Rhino return with their fourth album, and once again it gets released by Czech label Doomentia Records; why changing a winning team must be their motto. The label even re-issued material from this band when they were acting under the old moniker Rhino.

Gormathon

Following The Beast is the second full album from the Swedish warriors united under the banner of Gormathon, after 2010’s Lens Of Guardian (Supernova Records). There was also an EP in 2012, Celestial Warrior, by the way, and the songs from that mini-album are part of this full length too.

Emeth

It’s been long, way too long, but Belgian outfit Emeth finally return with their newest (fourth) full length, after 2008’s Telesis (released via Minnesota’s Brutal Bands; are they still active – to my knowledge they didn’t release anything anymore in more than a year?). Undersigned was quite enthusiastic with that former Emeth-album (surely the band’s strongest release to date).
