One of the many splits with Ukraine’s Moloch is the one with Swiss act Voidstar. Initially their collaboration saw the light in early 2015 via Nocebo Records (digital and vinyl), and Legs Akimbo’s sub-label Locust Amber Records did take care of the tape-re-issue, though this one being limited to an edition of fifty two (52) copies only, half of them released on grey cassettes, the other half on brown ones.
Remains are quite a young Mexican project, formed in 2011 by Miguel Angel (joined then, or afterwards, by colleagues from e.g. Anoxia, BIID, Fractal Entropy etc.). After some demonstrational material, there was a first full length release in 2014, called Angels Burned, and now Miguel returns with a new effort, called Evoking Darkness.
One of the most productive musical projects, as you surely know, might be Ukraine’s Moloch, an outfit by Sergiy Fjordsson, who also runs Depressive Illusions Records (+ some sub-labels), and who acts in a couple of other outfits.
Locust Amber Records are a sub-division of Legs Akimbo, but both rosters differ a lot from each other. While the parent label focuses on Noise / Breakcore / Grind stuff especially, Locust Amber Records has been created to support the Black Metal scene especially, especially via the promotion on (limited) tape editions. This review is the first one in a row of more than ten tapes that will be reviewed and uploaded in the near future.
Primeval Mass are an outfit from Athens, the capital city of Greece, which was formed in 2000. After some demonstrational recordings, the project around main man Orth (currently he’s involved with Eschaton too, by the way) did record and release a first album in 2009 (A Solemn Maelstrom, Stuza Productions), and a second one in 2012 (Blood Breathing Idols, Stuza Productions for tape, Katoptron IX for the CD-edition).
UK’s sweetest HateWire did co-operate on a couple of splits with the likes of Drugzilla, Pressterror or Disco Cunt, and now they show up with their first official album, which sees the light via the totally frenzy label Legs Akimbo.
UK-based act Popeyes Rapestation (being founding member Steve Strode and Rob Woodcock; both of them are in Fret! too) return with III: Abe Lincoln Nonce Hunter, once again paying tribute to our favourite hero, Popeye. Actually, our favourite sailor man seems to be quite an arrogant being with sadistic intentions and sarcastic ideas. Or is this album a tribute to the B.B.C. and slavery?
