Mortualia are one of the many projects Finnish guy Shatraug is involved with. He’s especially known from bands like Horna, Sargeist, Behexen, Morbid Savouring, Black Stench or Blutschrei, but that’s just a part of a long list. Mortualia might not be his best known project, but for sure it is an interesting one; what else would you expect?...
Vardan are a very productive solo-outfit by an Italian guy called Vardan, whom you might know from e.g. Nostalgic Darkness, Anwech, Tomhet, Magnus Obscurus or Leaden. I do not have all their material in my possession (I bought / received four or five Vardan-albums in the past), but what I do have is of a very satisfying quality. Enjoy Of Deep Sadness just strengthens this statement.
Greek act Dodsferd are very productive (more than a hand full of full lengths, besides some other stuff; you can, for example, find the short but clear review undersigned did on Spitting With Hatred The Insignificance Of Life within the Archives’ update on May 22nd 2011), and without any doubt I do appreciate everything they ever did. Signing to Moribund, for example, is something I do appreciate a lot, for the collaboration of a great act and a great label results in nothing but superlatives.
