Prelude To Perversion is the debut full-length by the German duo Blasphemous Putrefaction. However, they did surprise (at least, this goes for me) with their EP Festering Plagues at the very end of 2019 (Death In Pieces Records).
…with some delay; a pity at the one hand, for the physical edition is sold out in the mean-time (a cassette version and one on compact disc, carefully remastered by Simon Heath), but the digital one is still available; and since it is never too late to focus on ‘older’ stuff of such high quality, even-though I’ll keep it concise this time, a few words...
Even-though I am such notorious, famous and universally highly-appreciated reviewer, even I can be surprised by projects I haven’t heard of before. Can you imagine, me, the greatest recensent of all times, being surprised by a very productive musicians without knowing about his existence? It is almost incredible, but hey, it did happen.
Light.. Darkness.. Death.. Rebirth..
The solo-outfit Gravespawn has a rich biography. I won’t go too deep into the matter, but it’s an interesting fact that this project was formed in South Korea by an American soldier, while serving for his national army in the far East of Asia. We’re talking about the earlier years of this century. Things went quite tranquil, and it wasn’t until the year 2010 and the next ones, to grow ‘bigger’ as studio-act. As from then on, throughout the years, Gravespawn did release several recordings (full-lengths, EP’s and splits with e.g.
It would be a waste of time to invest my time on an introduction, and it would be a waste of time for you to read an extended biography / discography on Raison d’Être, probably the best known outfit by Swedish multi-talented artist Peter Andersson, active for three decades at this very moment. So I’ll skip this part. You can still search for additional information in one of the former reviews I did (links for some of them, see below) or on the Internet.
Cadaveric Fumes were an act (indeed ‘were’, for they did split up in the meantime, apparently, yet without inner fight or disdain) from the North-West of France (close to the Belgian border, in case of interest), being active for about a decade yet without any ‘huge’ mainstream representation whatsoever. This four-piece (with members who are active as well as Repugnizer) recently resigned to Swedish finest Blood Harvest Records in order to have their debut (and sole) full-length released.
I do not think I did review any former release by She Spread Sorrow; at least, I can’t find back any source. However, I do deeply appreciate the explicit material by Alice Kundalini, the ‘brain’ behind this intriguing project. Yet even-though I haven’t reviewed any former She Spread Sorrow recording yet apparently, it is never too late to show my appreciation and dedication. Ergo: here’s a review for this project’s latest release, called Huntress.
No introduction needed; just adding that Cities Last Broadcast is one of the outfits by Swedish sonic artist Pär Boström. Indeed, thé Pär it is.
A totally new entity from Polish soil came my way very recently. When I noticed that this release was a mutual effort of that new act in collaboration with Lower Silesian Stronghold, it did trigger my attention even more.
