CD

Solo-project by Sergiy Fjordsson, one of the most productive projects on Mater Terra. I did write several reviews before, so check the site for more info. Not this time, just fast forward to the aural side of this Ukraine-based outfit.

Aeonless are a new project by Georgi Georgiev, one of the most productive guys within the Bulgarian netherworlds. You will surely recognize bands / projects like Calth, Raggradahr, Perverse Monastyr or Forgotten Forests if you do follow the Bulgaria-based underground scene. For this specific project, Georgi joined forces with a same-minded guy from Finland, Jori Hautala, who ‘sings’ in Aeonless (+ some synths).

Labyrinth Spell are a Brazilian act that started in 2000. But despite a decade and a half of existence, they were not quite active with only a limited amount of demonstrational recordings. In 2012 and 2013 the quintet recorded their debut full length studio album (at the Gramute Studio in their home country), which was eventually independently released in 2013.

The Ukrainian label Vacula Productions, home to many great acts, decided to re-issue this material the decent way on CD. Eternal thanks!

Hailing from New Zealand, and with current and former members of e.g. The House Of Capricorn, Abystic Ritual and Ulcerate, Creeping return with their third full length, after almost five years of silence. Revenant gets released on both vinyl via Iron Bonehead Productions (they will release the stuff as well the digital way) and on compact disc via Daemon Worship Productions.

Hiisi are a pretty young project by the same-named vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Hiisi and drummer VRTX (real name: Ville Pallonen). The latter is also (currently or formerly) involved with, for example, Hin Onde, Azaghal, Oath, Hellkult or Druadan Forest, as well as with his solo-outfit V-Khaoz.

There are many bands called Disorder, but this review deals with the one from El Salvador, a small country which people do not easily refer to Extreme Metal. This project was formed somewhere half of the nineties, but after their debut album Voces De La Tumba, they did split up.

After a single (that very same song also appeared on a split with Repellers) and a two-track EP, Georgia-based band Dead Hand recorded its debut album Storm Of The Demiurge, which includes both tracks from their untitled 2014-MCD. It got released the digital way in May 2015, and shortly after on CD by the very young English label Third I Rex and US-based Divine Mother Recordings. The latter took care of that split-7”EP of Dead Hand and Repellers, by the way.

This album is a response to the hallucinatory crossworlds between delirium, sadness and loss…

Almost one year after the fabulous demo-tape På Förtvivlans Krön (see update November 10^th 2014), Sweden’s devastating army Svärta return with six (mainly lengthy; i.e. in between four and nine minutes) new epics in order to continue their up-marching sonic terror. Be grateful, dear listener, because that former release was quite impressive (I gave it a 90/100-score).

Goatthroat are a very young yet, at the same time, experienced trio from Germany, with members from Old Skull and As Light Becomes Shadow. After having joined forces in 2014, the members soon recorded ten pieces of purest Evilness and Grimness, gathered under the banner of Rites Of Blasphemy. And for sure these ‘songs’ are rites of blasphemy. The material and the artwork do fit (look at the cover painting and you’ll understand), and so do the sound and atmosphere.
