Noctambulant
"Dominio Infernal"
TrackList
1.La Hora Final
2.Bajo La Penubra De Tus Alas Doratas
3.Patrem Luciferium
4.Dominio Infernal

If you have already see noctambulant's interview then you surely learned some things
about this band from Mexico.If you haven't then go check the interview because I'm boring to repeating things.

This demo has a bad sound quality but not such bad like other bands that I've heard
during the years.Guitar and Bass are too much distorted and at first you think that you have to do with another Black Death Metal band inspired by the Canadian Black Metal scene but it is not like this.The composing and sound of the songs sounds closer to the typical or should I say common Latin American scene.

"La Hora Final" starts noisy with a lot of blastbeats,razor-riffing guitar and many groove parts not to mention the guitar solos.Good song!
"Bajo La Penubra De Tus Alas Doratas".This song reminds me many bands from the Florida Death Metal scene.The start of the song sounds like it have been taken from Death's "Scream Bloody Gore".I believe is the strong track of the demo.I really like it!"Patrem Luciferium"...Very common very typical,very un-influenced and very bad playing.I never pay much attention at the sound production but I cannot withstand songs that have a really bad drumming...and the drumming here is really weak."Dominio Infernal" follows a more noise-grind path but somewhere in the middle sounds more Death Metal.The playing here isn't bad but not good enough and apart from that the whole song isn't interesting.

"Dominio Infernal" is not bad.I believe that the fans of the old school death-black metal will appreciate it for it's raw blasphemy and aggressive style.So if you want it contact to wisdomoftheblackcat@hotmail.com

Immortal "All Shall Fall" review

Immortal
“All Shalll Fall”
TrackList
1.All Shall Fall
2.The Rise Of Darkness
3.Hordes Το War
4.Norden On Fire
5.Arctic Swarm
6.Mount North
7.Unearthy Kingdom

ALL SHALL FALL...!The Blacklords of snow and storm have return to spread destruction,darkness and hate after a temporary death that kept them in the abyss for 7 years.Their new sounds like a mix of “Sons Of Northen Darkness” and the blackened speed project of I .Tons of double bass drum kicking,great quitar riffing and of course...ABBATH screaming and singing the way that made him the most recognizing voice in Black Metal something that was missing those 7 years from the Black scene.

At the music part this release has many Thrash influences that are tide pretty well with the grim melodies of Immortal holding the Black and Icy Feeling that every Immortal fan loved.There are some blastbeats but not many and this thing gives a more Heavy Epic aura.The most Excited songs are “The Rise Of Darkness” a quite heavy song that drives you to break your neck from all the headbanging.”Norden Of Fire” who gives you the feeling that Quorthon never died and composed this Hymn for Immortal.A pretty good song based on Bathory like many other songs of the previus albums.”Unearthly Kingdom”...I have no words to describe it...Another Bathory-like hymn with a killer riffing and a feeling so cold that the north and south pole together cannot create such and icy world..The self titled is the most “In your face” song of the release with a hard as a rock tempo!”Hordes Το War” is like Immortal made a cover for Slayer because it sounds pretty thrashy and very aggresive.
“Arctic Swarm” and “Mount North” will not escape from the heavy epic influence.Horgh’s feet have set on fire at those two songs making the double bass drum to scream for mercy.Not to mention the killer riffing from Abbath And Apollyon.

Personally I believe that it was worth to wait for “All Shall Fall”.If you are stuck to the past releases or you are the kind of fan that likes only the 2 or 3 first albums of any band then you better go hang yourself and don't waste your money or time for this release.

Almighty Emperor Interview

Brazil is a country that is known for its football,capoeira and the carnival of Rio De Janeiro..But every sick mind in the underground metal scene knows about the Black Metal Hordes from Brazil.The country of Sarcofago,Osculum Infame,Sextrash,Volcano and many many more.Almighty Emperor is one of the new Hordes that appeared to spread panic and Destruction...Keep The Black Flame Alive Brothers!!!

HC:Since you have formed in 2003 I would like to learn some things about your Horde.
R: Infernals warrior!!! The black essence it’s presents at this days... Well my friend, the Almighty Emperor black metal horde was formed in the end of 2003 e.v. by me, Deoarsprofanum, guitarist and vocalist of this infernal orchestra for spread the chaos, terror, hatred, antichristianism and our fight against the hypocrisy. Join to the horde in the beginning of 2004, Lord Blasphemy and Obscurium, for initiate the first rehearsals. But Lord Blasphemy can’t continue in the march in some weeks and Alastor substituted him for give continuation of work. In the final of 2005, we recorded our first artefact called “At Battlefields of the Abyssal Realm” that was released in tape format in April of 2006 by Diabolous Productions (BOL) and a special edition in February of 2007 by Battle Hymn Records (USA). Nowadays, we preparing for record our first full-length that will be called “Division 666 – Darkest Rebel Alliance” and will be release in this year of 2007.

HC:So far you have two demo releases (if I am right). Do you have plans to record a future release? A new demo or a new ep?
R: Yes, we have two demo tapes, one released by Diabolous Productions of Bolivia in 2006 and other with the same material but it’s two new songs as bonus tracks that it’s was released by Battle Hymn Records of USA in 2007. And yes, we have plans for record our first full-length in this month of April and release in this year. This new material will be called “Division 666 – Darkest Rebel Alliance” and it’s contains 8 (eight) tracks of the most obscure and brutal black metal.

HC:Brazilian scene is very respected by the underground. Especially for it's thrash/black scene and Almighty Emperor is part of it. How is the black/thrash scene of Brazil going nowadays? Are there any new respectful hordes?
R: First, thanks by the comments about our scene. We of the Brazilian scene have very good hordes that make a good work with conviction and professionalism. We have great hordes as Sepultura, Krisiun, Sarcfago, Unearthly, Murder Rape, Darkest Hate Warfront, Coldblood, Satanic Christ, Impacto Profano, Anax, Ocultan, and very others hordes that I don’t remember at this moment. We have a lot of gigs and the people are going to these events for cult the black metal and the bestiality of the true hordes. We hope play in these gigs with more hordes of the South America.

How can you describe your music without using any musical terms?
R: Pure brutality, blasphemy without limits and total support to war against the religions that destroy the spiritual and scientific evolution of the humans. Our message is very obscure and evil...

HC:As I saw at your pictures you are using corpse paint (something that I'm doing too in my black metal bands). You think that corpse-paint is something binded with black metal or do you believe that it is the mirror of your Inner self?
R: Yeah, The corpse-paint reveal the monstrous warrior that it’s be prepare for battle, reveal our anger, our unknown interior in this reality. For me black metal must be using corpse-paint. This is a war paint and our real face.

HC:Let's talk about your lyrical theme. Which are the things that inspire you to write lyrics? What is your lyrical theme?
R: Antichristianism, Satanism, Death, War, Occultism, Anger and Dark Times History…

HC:Have you ever done live performances?
R: We make a some gigs in the last year, in the cities of Vila Velha and Rio de Janeiro, both cities from Brazil. At the moment we don’t make shows because we are concentrate in the recordings of the full length, but will be back with the gigs in the second semester of this year after the recordings. We can play in the follow cities: Vitria/July, Rio de Janeiro/July, So Paulo/August and two gigs in Duque de Caxias/October (all cities from Brazil, but we’ll need of the certain of the organization). We’re invited for make a mini-tour in some countries of South America as Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil but we are talking with the managers about the possibility.

HC:Which are your Horde's influences?
R: We are trying playing in a original and professional form but can fell some influences of great names of the underground scene and some hordes that we like of listen as Immortal, Behemoth, Marduk, maybe something of Bathory and Darkthrone…

You have an excellent artwork. As I already know this artwork is the re-release of Battle Hymn records. What was your first artwork?
R: Thanks by the comments. My first artwork was the cd demo of the Escrfula horde (a brazilian death/black metal horde), it’s a simple work, but after I make some flyers and websites of some hordes too. My next work will be the full length called “Division 666 – Darkest Rebel Alliance”. It’s will be an infernal artwork!

How did you get in contact with Battle Hymn Records (Reminds me the great first Lp of Manowar :P). Are you satisfied with their support?
R: I very satisfied with their work; they are support the horde in a lot of aspects as distribution, promotion of the horde. Your represent called JMc, enter in contact with us and make a proposal of release a new material, but as We don’t begin to record, I proposal a re-release our last material with two bonus tracks for distribution in the USA, Canada, Mexico and some countries in Europe. We can release a future full length by Battle Hymn Records. They make an excellent work.

Rotting Christ in their last live performance in Brazil played only songs from their black metalAlbums. That makes me thing that at least 90% of the Brazilian black metal audience are true Unholy Fanatics Black metal maniacs. Is that true?
R: Yes. The Brazilian scene have in yours 90% of your public as Fanatics Black Metal Maniacs. I don’t went in the Rotting Christ’ show, but I believe that it’s true.

HC:Thanx for your time Brothers. Say something for the end.
R: First, I like to thank you, black warrior for give us a space for tell a little of Almighty Emperor and our histories and plans. For the people, the same message forever: Keep the luciferian flames always lift because the true march never stops… STAY DARK AND BRUTAL!!!

BLOOD AND SOIL

Noctambulant Interview

Mexico is a country with a big Metal scene that specializes in the extreme sound.A scene that its biggest part is sworn to Underground metal!Noctambulant is a horde that came into life with only one reason...To dedicate in the Metal Scene and give the shits a punch straight to their face!!!(Or in the nose??)!!

HC:It sounds typical but I cannot escape from this
question..So tell me a few things about your Band?
We are proudly a Mexican death/black metal band, the reason to existing of Noctambulant is our union in thoughts and influences of different kind of ideals like Satanism, paganism, antichristianity, anti-sociality and music like old death, black and thrash metal bands.

HC:Mexico had always have an excellent underground
death/black scene with great bands like Shub Niggurath
and Noctambulant have been a part of this scene. What
should we expect from you?
Yeah, shub-Niggurath is a influence in Noctambulant, Noctambulant doesn’t want to be in any kind of scene, only we want to show to the world our ideas.

HC:Have you ever played live?Do you believe that
noctambulant's music is for live?
Yes, we have, of course Noctambulant’s music is for live to destroy your brain….

HC:Is your music exclusively for a specific "morbid"
fanbase or is for "everybody"?
Any kind of fucking sick or sanity person can hear us, we don`t care…

HC:You are given the choice of eliminating
Christianism, Muslim, Judaism,USA or tons of Uzis and
shotguns for killing all the above.Which one would you
pick?
Our music is dedicated to the natural way of the things, evil, death and pain, and is against the enemies of the natural laws………. evil rules!!!


HC:Since you are from Mexico let me ask you something..TEQUILLA OR BEER?
Our city is very warm and we drink a lot liters of beer (CORONA of course THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD), we like tequila but we prefer beer.

HC:We've seen many bands come from your lands. Is it
traditionally easy to record where you live, or are
things difficult (ex. finding place to rehearse, good
sound recorders, expensive studios etc.)?
Most of the time is difficult, the studios is in other states and are expensive, and sometimes they don’t have experience with metal music or the equipment is poor, but we have a few good studios but of course expensive, but we are always searching the classical old raw sound………

HC:Have you got plans for a future Release???
Yes, we are working very hard in new material for our first full-length at the middle of the year with total english lyrics, and try to expand the kingdom of satan.

HC:What is now on your cd/lp player those days??
We have a demo cd with 4 tracks, with an old raw sound, classical death/black metal and blasphemies. You can hear 2 tracks at www.myspace.com/deathblacknoctambulant.com

HC:Thanks For your time Brothers.Say something for the end!
- Thank a lot of for the interview and support, FUCK THE CHURCH, FUCK THE VIRGIN, AND TAKE THE SATAN’S SWORD AVE LUCIFERI NOCTAMBULANT.Greetings from Mexico.
