One of the new releases we could receive from Cold Raw Records, a young but enormously interesting label from the U.K., is Dasap’s Don’t Worry, It Will Be Worse… Dasap are a French act with its roots in the early nineties. Back then Julien ‘Dju’ Divert started his solo-outfit Tenebricosus, with one self-released demo-tape (Eth Niger Solt) on its discography. Then the moniker changed to Element for a couple of months, and then to The Element.

Frontiers Records seems to be flooding the market with releases of live albums. I really don’t know what the meaning of this is, since the market of CD’s is already overflooded with releases, and on top of that the sales are in recession since years. With an economic recession that’s still not completely over, who can afford to buy all this is really a riddle to me,especially since the younger generations are also more keen to download an album, then buying it.
Shortly after the release of the fantastic Atrum Tempestas-album Néant (see update November 10th 2014), very young Portuguese label Nordavind Records release Solace, the second full length of Norway’s Vinterbris. The band was formed in 2008 in the city of Bergen, and there were an EP and a self-titled debut full length before. This sophomore full recording deals with man’s struggle called Life, and its place in history and within Nature.
Greek mysterious and occult outfit Thy Darkened Shade return with the sophomore album Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet, successor of 2012’s Eternvs Mos, Nex Ritvs (which was released on the World Terror Committee roster as well). Semjaza (instruments & production; also in e.g.
Here's yet another Italian band which has been struggling for years to get an album out, although they've toured the North of Italy extensively at certain times. Then again, maybe their musical choice wasn't that evident, eh?
When the Hungarian Doom-band EvenSong was put to hold, the couple (?) Ágnes Tóth (vocals, violin, percussions, keyboards, flute, dulcimer etc.; she also takes care of the cover and lay-out) and Miháli Szabó (vocals, strings; also zither and kalimba, for example) formed the Neo-Classical act The Moon And The Nightspirit (in 2003).
This band was a surprise to me. I’d never heard of these Californians before, yet this is already their third album. Of the band members the only name that rings a bell is that of Kiyoshi Morgan, who used to be the guitarist in Vicious Rumors.
With From The Dead Villages’ Darkness, Sivyj Yar bring ‘songs about those who have gone into oblivion, the memories of whom has been lost’.
In a couple of days I will write a review for a new Varathron-album, Untrodden Corridors Of Hades, but this review deals with five-piece No Hand Path, which consists of two Varathron-members, i.e. the brothers Haris and Sotiris Kokkinos, performing drums and bass respectively.
