Affliction Vector--Contra Hominem CD/LP {Iron Bonehead Records} done on 9-3-25

From Italy comes Affliction Vector with their first full length album - they had just one EP prior to this. It's definitely more to the black metal end of the black/death spectrum, with claustrophobic riffing and smothering textures. The vocals range from shout to snarl to scream in true black metal style. It's brutal, but with a definite sense of dark and cold melody at times. This has as much in common with Mayhem as it does with Conqueror or Revenge, a perfect middle ground with good riffs and decent composition. Weird intros and outros abound, adding to the horrific, choking atmosphere. Their songs do tend to blend a bit on the first listen through, but I imagine with multiple listens that subsides. There's just so much going on in these songs that you won't catch it all the first time through unless you have a truly trained ear. It's hard to absorb in one sitting. This is not a bad thing, as Emperor was like this for me at first as well. This is worth the time to check out if you want something a bit more visceral from your black metal.

Flagg--Diabolical Bloodlust CD {Purity Through Fire} done on 9-2-25

Flagg from Finland gives us this, their third full length, and a might one it is. Breaking somewhat with what has become known as the Finnish sound, Flagg has crafted a record influenced mainly by the Norwegian gods, and it could stand alongside those records if it had been released in the 1990s. So, is it derivative? Yes. Is it good? Fuck yes. It's very good. Icy black melodies and cold-as-winter riffs abound. The vocals are strong, long and drawn out screams, but perfectly timed. Synths make extended appearances here, but much like Emperor, they add to the music instead of detract from it. They add an extra layer of melody to the tracks. The drums are masterful indeed, and the double bass is relentless, as is proper with this style of black metal. In fact, the bass and drums work together more than most acts that play in this style, playing off each other and avoiding the pitfall of just following the riffs. This is a perfect record for those of us who pine for the glory days of black metal, when the astounding releases just kept coming. Is this as memorable as those classic albums? No. But few things are. Flagg has done an outstanding job here, and credit where it's due. It's worth tracking down.

Urn--Demon Steel CD/LP/CS {Osmose Productions} done on 9-1-25

By now everyone ought to know about Urn from Finland, who ply us with their black/thrash for a sixth time on this new full length. It's black/thrash of the highest order, bringing to mind all the greats, but Urn has seemingly become one of these greats in their own right, bringing melody to bear on this album in a way that I do not recall that they did on the material that I previously heard. I'm not as familiar with their back catalog as I should be, checking out after their debut 666 Megatons, and I am glad I decided to review this to catch up with them. They came to prominence during the black/thrash boom of the early 2000s, and for some reason I just lost track of them. Even with the masterful melodies on display (and excellent solos), as well as more brutal thrash aspects, they maintain a primitive aspect to the music that belies their black metal roots, and this is a good thing. It's where they came from, and where they continue to tread. The lyrics and vocal patterns are a little simplistic but I think this has rather to do with English as a second language rather than any sort of songwriting defect. I think I'll be paying much closer attention to any future Urn albums, and checking out that back catalog. I did not expect this to be as good as it is, and it's truly one of the better records in this style I've heard in quite some time.

Bluthammer--Iron Eagle Division CS {WolfKult Religion} done on 8-27-25

Vicious, intense, pounding war metal is what Bluthammer give us on this, their first release. It's cleanly produced which is unusual for this style. The drumming sets this apart also, being some of the more talented material I've ever heard in a band in this style, while still stiff and militant, with super-fast grinding blast beats. The guitars are largely repetitious with what I call "vacuum cleaner riffs," but with enough variation in each song that they'll imprint on your brain, especially since they do slow down once in a while. The singer employs a death growl, but it sounds almost pitch shifted, which is wild. Or at least a layer of it is pitch shifted. Whatever the case, it sounds evil as fuck. I enjoy listening to war metal sparingly since so much of it is the same, while giving the masters like Blasphemy, Black Witchery, Conqueror, or Revenge most of my attention, but occasionally something good comes a long like this that breaks the mold just a little bit while sticking to the genre conventions and catches my attention. Highly recommended for all the black/death maniacs out there.

Empalamento-- Album: Ep "Ordem da Estaca" cd{Haloran Records} review done by Cátia Godinho "Caos" done on 8-16-25

 

In recent years, for the first time, I had the immense satisfaction of knowing a Portuguese band that was recreating the art of a musical cult which existed for a brief period in the 1990s in France, a cult represented by a select few artists, who were called Les Légions Noires.

It could even be said that the band Empalamento is the mirror image of "Vlad Tepes", 90's French musical project, as a Portuguese version, in the best sense of the terem. 

The duo "Lord Drahkul" and "NekroTeppes" , completely inspired by the history and legend “Count Vlad Dracul,” a mesmerizing obsession deeply rooted in Eastern European legends. 

If that weren’t enough, the album is intensely dark, freezing, a true delight for fans of pure raw black metal.Each track succumbs to a 90s production, without clean sounds, a total atmosphere of sucking blood and petrifying us, allowing us to go back to the golden age of raw black metal, with blast beats from another dimension.

The production is terrifying and full of minimalist old school creation, with a very dark and gloomy atmosphere, creepy vocals, and riffs so rare and old school, guitar solos that we can easily say we are really back to the cult of 30 years ago.

Tracks such as “O Sangue Escorre” and “Ascensão Obscura” will echo and repeat themselves in the minds of fans and followers of the genre.

The debut EP “Ordem da Estaca” brings us a new band with the potential to become eternal with their serious and professional Pure Minimalist Raw Black Metal.

Deathhammer--Crimson Dawn CD/LP/CS {Hells Headbangers} done on 8-10-25

Deathhammer is a name that should be known to you if you've followed either black metal or thrash at any point in the last 20 years. Their records for Hells Headbangers always strike quick and hard, and this one is no exception, which is a feat for a sixth studio album and a band with a defined sound. See, some of us in the underground (yes, there is still an underground, more of a spirit now than an actual network) like when a band doesn't change drastically. Sure they can throw new sorts of riffs at us, new little tricks, but if the core remains the same we are generally happy with it as long as the quality remains high. Deathhammer is a band like that. They don't change, they don't "progress," they don't do anything other than what they've promised us, and that is deliver fast blackthrash in the best way possible. Echoes of Norwegian black metal's sound can be heard under the corpsepile of Germanic thrash and speed metal, as can some Celtic Frost influence in some certain songs. This is about the old ways of metal, not the trends that exist today. They came to prominence at a point when blackened thrash was on the rise, and now that it's cemented itself as a subgenre, this band has taken a kingly position among the rest. Songwriting is their key to success, as well as an underrated ability to play some truly tricky and skilled stuff that's hiding in all the madness. They do have a sense of melody behind the crashing drums and aggressive riffs. Every song here is memorable in the same way as the records you bought when you first found metal and were blown away by Destruction, Kreator, or Sodom, whether it was in the majestic 1980s or the early 1990s as those bands were stripping the blackness out of their sound for something more polished but still violent. I hesitate to compare them too closely to those progenitors since their sounds have strayed so far from what Deathhammer is doing. This is honest music, not an attempt at nostalgia, and should be regarded as such. Just because they are playing a style made famous in the 1980s does not mean the style lived and died in that decade and didn't attract a new set of followers and purveyors. Go to Hells, get this album when it's out, and be thrashed into pulp. You will not be disappointed. Note: the cover is also awesome, I love when bands use photos of themselves.

Medieval Demon--All Powers of Darkness CD/LP {Hells Headbangers} reviewed by Andrew done on 8-1-25

Medieval Demon plays excellent black metal with killer riffs and a strong sense of cold melody on this, their fifth full length. Greece has turned out some great black metal over the years, but this really shines. It's not often a record that's this atmospheric with keyboards in every track scratches my itch, but this is done exceptionally well. It's a wall of sound that's talented, genuine, well-produced, and authentic. There are layers of horrific and (of course) medieval-style melodies on the keys. The drums thunder at times (and I think, unless it's sampled, there are tympani drums involved), bringing that old black metal feel to the record. The guys truly stand apart from the pack - the talent for songwriting alone manages this, but their sound, while hearkening back to the Norwegian sound, is all their own. They don't sound like any other band out there right now, at least that I've heard.

Interview with Atrum Lorde vocals and guitars for Indesiderium done on 7-18-25

1.Hails Atrum Lorde please introduce yourself to the readers?

I am Atrum, and I am the one responsible for bringing Indesiderium unto the world. I write all of the music and lyrics. I am also the vocalist, guitarist, and bassist.

2.When did you first discover black metal and what was it about this genre that drew you in and has kept you here over the years?

I started listening to Black Metal approximately 1992. I was in 7th grade, and I was a very angry person by that age. I appreciated the negative energy, and the darkness that the music conveyed. I connected with it instantly. It was unlike listening to death metal, thrash, or punk.

3.Who were the first bands that you discovered?Are their any current bands that have caught your attention?

The very first Black Metal band I heard was Beherit, along with Blasphemy, Impaled Nazarene, Samael, and the usual Scandinavian hordes. Greece had many bands that meant a lot to me such as Varathron and Necromantia to name a few. I am not familiar with many of the newer bands, and the newer material I do gravitate to is usually from the old bands.

4.When did you first become interested in writing and performing music?Are you self taught or did you take lessons when first starting out?

I started playing guitar back in 94. I started with basic lessons, enough to get me started in the directions that I wanted to go. I learned some theory, but I am very much self taught in many ways.

5.What are the instruments that you currently play?Are their any that you would like to learn one day?

I am primarily a guitarist, but I also play bass. Mainly out of necessity. I enjoy the drums, and I will sit behind a kit whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am not good at the drums, but I enjoy them. I would like to get better at the violin and cello.

6.Who are some of your favorite musicians over the years that you enjoy listening to?

Unfortunately I do not have any favorites anymore. If I do, they are the musicians that I work with. I only work with highly talented people.

7.Atrum Lorde you started Indesiderium in 2012 what gave you the idea to start this band? How did you choose Indesiderium as the name for this band?

I had a significant amount of material that simply did not fit in my previous bands philosophies. I became tired of writing music and lyrics for other people to gain from. I’ve had some of my best material claimed by others more than once. Writing for other people is weak.

8.Who would you say are the bands biggest influences and have they remained the same over each release?For the readers who have never heard your band how would you best describe the music?

I would say the usual suspects from Scandinavia when I was growing up in the 90’s. However the most prominent influences that are still present in my writing are bands like Dawn and Dissection when it comes to dark and evil melodies…and bands like old Dark Funeral and old Immortal when it comes to pure aggression.

9.The third full length The Nocturnal Seance Of Lucifer will be released through Satananth Rec. when did you first come in contact with this label?Are you satisfied with the job they have done so far?

I came in contact with Satanath probably early 2018 just as I finished the “Of Twilight and Evenfall…” album. I sent them the material and we formed a great working relationship from the start. They do a great job for what I need, and I appreciate the 100% creative freedom and support that many bands do not have.

10.How long did it take to write the music on The Nocturnal Seance Of Lucifer? How long would you say it usually takes to complete one song?

Under “normal” circumstances, songs are quite easy to write in regards to music. Writing the lyrics is very time consuming for me. I am a very deep thinking, and the lyrics I write have deep meaning. I wrote the majority of these songs between 2019 and 2023. And yes, they took a very long time this album. Life has been relentless with its challenges.

11.Where do you draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects written on the new release?Which usually comes first the music or the lyrics?

I write a lot on the occult, the supernatural, myths, and legends. They are all very much tied together. I also write about psychological components that contribute to these beliefs, and the overall etiology of mankind’s delinquency.

12.Besides the upcoming The Nocturnal Seance Of Lucifer release are the bands previous releases still availible for the Underground fans to pick up? Besides physical releases does the band have any other merchandise currently availible?If yes what is availible and where can the readers pick it up?

Yes, the entire back catalog is available from Indesiderium and our official bandcamp, as well as from Satanath and several other outlets all over the web.

13.I know Indesiderium is a two man band but would you like to add some session musicans to do some live shows someday or do you prefer to work in the studio?

Yes. I have a full lineup prepared for when the time comes. I have been fortunate to have made some really solid ally’s in the music world that are not only Indesiderium fans and supporters themselves, but highly talented and skilled musicians from all over the globe.

14.Atrum Lorde i know you live in California what is your opinion of California's black metal scene over the years?

There are a handful of really good bands, and not much else. Most of it is just a giant click of people obsessed with their image hanging out and partying. Black metal is just in the background. You have to be a part of the “cool kids” club which I am certainly not. I left the overall scene due to this rubbish, as I’ve not time for popularity contests or ass kissing. I am a recluse.

15.What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I enjoy the company of my eternal companion. Aside from that, I play in another band that is old school thrash straight from the 80’s called Rapid Decay. Aside from music, I work to death!

16.Thank you for taking the time to fill out this interview do you have any final comments for the readers?

Thank you to Patrick and Winter Torment for their support. And thank you to all of the souls brave enough to buy and support our infernal noise.
