Miseo

Miseo are a very young German band that released a first EP, called The Dead Will Predominate, in 2013. Earlier this year, the members entered the Marburg Records Studio and the Cubeaudio Studio to record their first full length. Blacksmith RecordsTimo Rotten took care of the mix, and the mastering was done at the Desert Inn Studio with Thilo Krieger.

Masochist

I hadn’t heard of this band before, but apparently these four guys from West Yorkshire (U.K.) hadn’t released but one single ep, The Extent Of Human Error (late Autumn 2012). Then the band recorded some new songs, which were send out to e.g. Ukem Records. Label manager Chris Newby listened to it and he was convinced as from the very first listen. Logical result: he was prepared to have this material released on his label.

Hroptatyr

German horde Hroptatyr was formed as a trio in 2008 in the Bavarian region (briefly as Drunken Warriors). In 2010 the band debuted with Auf Zu Neuen Ufern via recently defunct Düsterwald Produktionen, and now they come with the sophomore album, called Hroptatyr, having a total running time of forty two minutes.

HellHate

HellHate are a Ukrainian act that were formed in 2008, but despite five years of career, they didn’t release but one EP / MCD, called retsonretap (got the meaning? does it reek of blasphemy? Look at the artwork and indeed, the Horned One must be a close friend of this trio). Noxious (b), Ugrum (v, g) and Bloodsucker (d) recorded this material in very early 2013 at the P.A. Studio, and the five tracks last for fifteen minutes and a half.

DUX

One year after the excellent Vintras-album (released through Hass Weg Productions), the sweet quartet of DUX release a gatefold 7”EP via Asgard Hass (hey, they have something with ‘hass’… And yes, their aural creations too breathe the magnificence of total hatred!

The artwork is fabulous, though the front cover drawing is little suggestive and not meant for the eyes of your children, nor your grandmother. But the pure essence reminds me to what we got twenty years ago – no compromises!

Chaos Moon

Chaos Moon are a one-man project by Alex Poole, who’s currently of formerly involved with bands and projects like In Ruins, Lithotome, Esoterica (I would invite you to see read the review on the superb new album Aseity, posted on March 24th 2014 on this site), Coffin or Krieg a. o. He started this project with the goal to create his own vision on Black Aural Art, and he recorded some EP’s and two full length albums.

Burtul

Burtul are a Saint Petersburg-based combo that now, after four years of existence, debut with their first full length, Bottom Astral, done via mighty Satanath Records. On this album, the band consisted of Ilya (b), Dima (g), Krom (g), S.D.I. (d), and Cherepan (v); Dima and S.D.I. left in mean time, by the way.

Bunker 66

Bunker 66 hail from Messina, an historical city on the Italian island Sicily. In 2009 they came with a very fine EP, Out Of The Bunker, and at the very end of 2012 the released their first full length via the label they are currently on, Infernö Interceptörs (the album) and High Roller Records (the label). Without any doubt that record was one of my favourite albums that very same year (for the review, see the update on February 16th 2013).

Baalberith

On the September 21st 2014-update, you can read the review I wrote for the Satanath split-album The Antichristian Symphonies, a five-way split with e.g. English act Baalberith. And now we can enjoy their fourth full length in eight years of existence.

I would like to refer to the review on the split for this band’s history, and to the worldwide net for their huge discography.

Sanctus Infernum

Sanctus Infernum were formed in 2005 in Kansas, and they had two full lengths done at the end of last decade: their self-called debut in 2008, and Martyr in 2009. Then things went silent for quite some time, but now the band finally returns with their third full length, which is Other Gods.
