Inconcessus Lux Lucis

Inconcessus Lux Lucis hail from Manchester, U.K. and were formed by Malphas in 2005 under the moniker of Whorethorn. Malphas decided to change the moniker into the current one in 2009, after having released a first (mini) album (Under The Veil Of Darkness, via Salute Records), a couple of demos and splits as Whorethorn (especially via their own label Grim Being).

Feskarn

Feskarn are a project by Niklas Larsson, originating from Uppsala, Sweden, and formed in 2010. The guy released a first album in 2012, called Raise Your Sword. Since Pesttanz Klangschmiede were so kind to send that album together with this new one, I will write a review on that debut very soon; just watch out.

Doomster Reich

From time to time, we do receive material ‘out of the black’, or ‘the blue’ if you want to, and such thing is this album, by a Polish act I had never heard of before. Apparently, Doomster Reich were formed at the end of 2011 in Lodz, and as a quartet (Rasz- v, d; Markiz-g; Voytek-g; and Radek-b) they recorded this album at the very end on 2012 at the (for me unknown) Pawel Drozd’s Studio.

Dawn Of A Dark Age

Dawn Of A Dark Age are a new project by two Italian guys, Vittorio ‘Eurynomos’ Sabelli (guitars, bass, drums & percussion, saxophone, clarinet, piano, keyboards, additional vocals, music, lyrics, and production; sole member of new project Suicidal Ruins, and member of R-Evolution Band) and Pierluigi ‘Buran’ D’Amario (lead vocals, both screaming and clean; also involved with, for example, Athanor, Rigor Mortis and Hellsteps).

Chasma

Chasma are an Oregon-based act, formed in 2008 in Portland, and named after an astro-geological term that refers to something like ‘a deep, elongated, steep-sided depression’. It was meant to be a side-project by the members, besides their main activities in Nanda Devi (defunct in mean time). After some demonstrational releases via Aural Offerings, the band joined the mighty Moribund-roster with a two-album deal.

Zgard

Zgard, formed in 2010 in the region of Lviv, are a project by Yaromisl, who’s also active in Говерла (to be pronounced as goverla), by the way. The past two years, Zgard released three albums and a split (with Romanian act Prohod), all of them bringing a pretty typifying form of Pagan / Black Metal.

Vintersorg

I’ll skip every unnecessary introduction about the huge discography, lengthy history or influential theory by Swedish act Vintersorg. I have no intention to go into Andreas Hedlund’s enormous curriculum vitae either. Just read what I think about this new Vintersorg-album, whether you like it or not.

Tombs

Finally New York-based Tombs (Mike Hill-g, v; Ben Brand-b; Andrew Hernandez-d; and Garett Bussanick-g) return with the successor of the splendid Path Of Totality, which was released in June 2011. In the Archive of this site you will find the review within one of the Relapse-specials I did; see update September 18th 2011.
