Senttura

 

Introduction: released almost one year ago, but Thrash-fanatics: be prepared for another combo from Belgian soil about to conquer the planet…

 

Location: Liège (Belgium)

Current line-up: Kévin Lambert (drums), Ludovic Hubert (vocals & guitars), Morgane Greeven (bass), Sébastien Grätz (guitars)

Recorded: at Le Garage Créative Music

Mix & mastering: Psycho

Artwork: I think from the band itself; simple and characteristic yet effective!

Pantheïst

I think it would be a waste of (my precious) time to introduce Pantheïst (or Pantheist, without the diaeresis on the ‘I’), for this is one of the most influential acts on our fabulous Planet within doomed and melancholic spheres. It’s the main act of Kostas Panagiotou, whom you might know as well from Sermones Ad Mortuos, Wijlen Wij (unfortunately defunct), Towards Atlantis Lights, Landskap or Aphonic Threnody (ex), amongst others.

She The Throne

I remember being positively surprised by Whisper A Red Voice, an experimental and obscure Industrial / Ambient / Noise release from early 2022. So, my enthusiasm was quite triggered when I read somewhere that the project behind that release, with the cool name She The Throne, did release some new material recently. In August 2023 there was the independently-released EP Orion, and shortly after it got followed by a lengthier album, called Nuntis.

Móđir

Brazil-born damsel IO is one of the most productive / active human beings lately. She is, and I quote, ‘visual artist, scenographer, fashion designer and musician’. When talking about ‘musician’, she’s active under different pseudonyms or throughout serial recordings, such as IO, Dragonflies In The Garden, The Flower Book, Modor, Black Paintings, The Hunt Of The Unicorn, For Children: The Gates Of Paradise, Danse Macabre and who knows what else.

Rituals Of The Dead Hand

Since I was quite impressed by Blood Oath and (especially) by With Hoof And Horn, I did look forward to listening to this newest album by the trio Rituals Of The Dead Hand. Well, after a couple of listens, my appreciation for this act has not disappeared; on the contrary.

noxpox & Humanfobia

…originally released in 2023…

…a tribute to Carrie, a magnificent work by the great Stephen King (and for what it’s worth: when I was a kid [a very long time ago], King was my favorite author)…

…a collaboration in between two outsider acts from Germany (noxpox) and Chile (Humanfobia)…

Solemne Mortis

[review for a release that is more than two years of age, yet since it is never, ever, too late to focus on worthy stuff / and because of my appreciation for the label involved…]
