After Mexican bands Omision and Blodfest split up, some members formed Infernal Conjuration in 2006. Soon after, they released a first demo, followed by their debut EP in 2010 (Auto Da Fe, released via Blood Harvest).

After an EP and two full lengths, Syndicate Of lethargy (2008) and Odes Of The Occult (2011) (and an EP as well as a very interesting split too, not to forget), Oslo, Norway-based Execration return with their next opus, Morbid Dimensions. It’s a one-hour opus that keeps the listener attentive from beginning to end. As from opener Cosmic Mausoleum, it’s stroking how organic it sounds to mingle the vast tradition of the Old School with progressive elements from the Modern Times.

The biography I received from this band ends with ‘review it or burn in Hell’. I’ve faced Hell a couple of times, figuratively, but since I am not that eager to burn out there (it’s way too hot for my sensitive skin…), please find the review right here…

Doomentor are a somewhat mysterious band (I have no idea who the members behind this act are), performing exclusively, as they call it themselves, Black Occult Imperial Doom Metal. …Sounds good, but what does it mean? And is it a correct description anyway?

One of the new releases we could receive from Cold Raw Records, a young but enormously interesting label from the U.K., is Dasap’s Don’t Worry, It Will Be Worse… Dasap are a French act with its roots in the early nineties. Back then Julien ‘Dju’ Divert started his solo-outfit Tenebricosus, with one self-released demo-tape (Eth Niger Solt) on its discography. Then the moniker changed to Element for a couple of months, and then to The Element.

Surgical Remission / Surplus Steel is some kind of compilation, or as Jeff Walker states ‘tying up loose ends’. This EP consists of previously unreleased songs taken from the Surgical Steel-recording sessions (though there have been some occasions to meet this stuff, like the Japanese edition, if I am not mistaken), but considered to be too good not to use.

Shortly after the release of the fantastic Atrum Tempestas-album Néant (see update November 10^th 2014), very young Portuguese label Nordavind Records release Solace, the second full length of Norway’s Vinterbris. The band was formed in 2008 in the city of Bergen, and there were an EP and a self-titled debut full length before. This sophomore full recording deals with man’s struggle called Life, and its place in history and within Nature.

Greek mysterious and occult outfit Thy Darkened Shade return with the sophomore album Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet, successor of 2012’s Eternvs Mos, Nex Ritvs (which was released on the World Terror Committee roster as well). Semjaza (instruments & production; also in e.g.

When the Hungarian Doom-band EvenSong was put to hold, the couple (?) Ágnes Tóth (vocals, violin, percussions, keyboards, flute, dulcimer etc.; she also takes care of the cover and lay-out) and Miháli Szabó (vocals, strings; also zither and kalimba, for example) formed the Neo-Classical act The Moon And The Nightspirit (in 2003).

With From The Dead Villages’ Darkness, Sivyj Yar bring ‘songs about those who have gone into oblivion, the memories of whom has been lost’.

In a couple of days I will write a review for a new Varathron-album, Untrodden Corridors Of Hades, but this review deals with five-piece No Hand Path, which consists of two Varathron-members, i.e. the brothers Haris and Sotiris Kokkinos, performing drums and bass respectively.
