Goat Semen are a band from the capital of Peru, Lima, and they were formed fifteen years ago. Throughout those years, the band did record a couple of demos and they contributed on some split releases too, with the likes of e.g. Nazxul (the Australian one), Anal Vomit, Krieg (the one from New Jersey, U.S.) or Sabbat (indeed, thé Sabbat). Then, after the release of two live albums in 2007, activities were put on hold for several years.
The Haunting Presence are a new outfit by Ghastly Apparition, the guy behind the mighty project Nocturnal Blood (FYI: you can find a review undersigned wrote on Devastated Graves – The Morbid Celebration, released as well via Hells Headbangers, which was posted on November 26th 2010; check the Archive-section).
One of the splits with NunSlaughter included (I will come back to the one with Perversor soon) is this one, with Colombia-based Witchtrap. For this split especially, they had their songs translated in Spanish, i.e. La Ofrenda and Altar De La Muerta. Isn’t that sweet?...
Well, sometimes surprises are great. And it has not always to do with renewing details or superb quality – though in this case both options I just mentioned are part of the greatness too. But it’s especially the style versus the label that did confuse me, albeit the positive way. I’ll explain why.

Ever heard about Shed The Skin? Never did I. But you know, this band’s line-up might be known, believe me.
Okay, this will be a quick one. Burn The Cross saw the unlight ten years ago, but it will be part of the new series of picture disc 7”EP’s via Hells Headbangers Records. Some others are about to follow soon…
When listening to this band’s debut album, one might think that they are heavily inspired by the Old School in all its glory. But actually, Atomic Aggressor are part of that legendary Old School, for this Chilean band was active as from the end of the eighties. They had two demos back then, Bloody Ceremonial in 1989 and Resurrection in 1991, but then they broke up.
Nekrofilth are a project by NunSlaughter / Crucified Mortals’ Zack ‘Massacre’ Rose, which did surprise me a lot with their first demo in 2008, called Worship Destruction. That material was re-released on vinyl in spring 2011 via Hells Headbangers Records, by the way, and reviewed by undersigned – see upload, within the Archive-section, on May 8th 2011.
One of the vinyl-EP’s within a new series, kindly provided by Hells Headbangers Records, is Sovereign Of The Desolate by, well, I dare to call it a top-act: Perdition Temple. Actually, the members were or still are involved with acts none less than Immolation, Angelcorpse, Black Witchery or Acheron. Perdition Temple is about to release their second album, which will be called The Tempter’s Victorious.
