Vilifier are an Australian combo, formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 2011 by members of e.g. Chemical Cascades, Kingdom Of Decay, Demonreich and Lustration. With the latter, for your information, Vilifier had a split-tape in the recent past (released via Supremacy Through Intolerance, a label that mainly releases material on cassette, by the way).
There are two Sieghetnar-re-issues that recently came my way, i.e. one being the third full length by this project, Bewußtseinserweiterung, which I will review very soon (watch out!), and one for the first demo out of three done in 2008, called Endlösung. This review will deal with that one.
Profezia were formed in 2000 in Veneto, Italy, by Kvasir (think: Abhor, Ancient Supremacy or Spiritual). With this solo-outfit, he had a collaboration with international colleagues / artists in mind. After the release of some demos / promos, Profezia signed to Undercover’s roster, and in 2008 the project released the debut full length Black Misanthropic Elite (Moon Anthem).
Sundsvall, Sweden-located band Nidsang was formed ten years ago as Lammoth, but very soon the current moniker was chosen. The band recorded a demo somewhat later on (ingeniously called Nidsang, and released via Sadolust), and the members started recording material for what would be their first studio album. Originally this stuff was meant to be released via Sadolust too, but thing seemed to turn out differently due to various circumstances.
Nahash are a band from Lithuania, formed more than twenty years ago out of the ashes of Nemesis. They debuted on the first edition of the split series Dark Fire Dancing, created to promote the Lithuanian scene, and in 1996 they had this album out via Ledo Takas Records (owned by a former member of the band, Tadas Kazlauskas), back then on tape.
Killchain hail from Slovakia and next year they will celebrate their tenth anniversary.
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 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.
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 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).
