Thirdmoon
This is a bootleg that is limited to 500 hand # CDR's and contains
Burzum demo 1991 and Burzum unreleased and re-mixed tracks with the
Gorgoroth demo 1993 "A Sorcery Written In Blood.". The first 3 tracks are the Burzum demo tracks 1. Lost Wisdom 2. Spell of Destruction 3. Channeling....
(which says it's an "Unreleased" track) then the rest of Burzum tracks
follow like this 4. A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit (unreleased version) 5.
A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit (regular "Aske" version) 6. My Key to
Purgatory (rough mix of "Key to the Gate) and 7. Lost Wisdom (rough
mix). The first 3 tracks have totally awful sound for the demo '91 but
the other 4 Burzum tracks have pretty good sound and the unreleased
version of "A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit" is really good! ...Onto the
Gorgoroth part....this is a demo that I already had and having it on CD
is nice but this is a very raw and harsh sounding demo and it contains live
tracks. If you really like Gorgoroth and have never been able to find
this demo on anyone's trade lists etc...this CD is for you. The track listing for Gorgoroth is 8. Gathered
at Blakulla (intro) / Sexual Bloodgargling 9. (Under) the Pagan Megalith
(Gorgoroth "Live in Germany") 10. Katharinas Vortgang 11. Crushing the
Scepter (Regaining a Lost Dominion) 12. Ritual 13. Maancskuggens Slave
...Total running time for the CD is 69:33 and any fans of either band
will want this for their collection I'm sure!
Discography:
"The Rebirth of the Middle Ages
"The End Of The World" (Wounded Love Records)
What the fuck happened to Godkiller!? This album sucks...no I'm
sorry this album isn't even worthy to waste time to press!! First off
it's not Black Metal at all, it's some kind of industrialized death
metal, the vocals are horrible and the lyrics are moronic for the most
part...even the art work sucks! I was so surprised when I heard this
release...I was also very, very disapointed and very, very pissed off that
I spent like $15 for this piece of shit release...I'm thinking of
writing Wounded Love & Godkiller just to tell them how much this album
sucks and how much of a rip off it is to buy it! The first track "The
End Of The World" is the only track worth having a listen to...they
should just erase the rest of the CD and sell it as a $4 single. I was
going to send Godkiller an interview before I heard this CD, I'm so glad I did not, I would never support such crap! But the first MCD "Rebirth
of the Middle Ages" is a CD worth picking up, just don't even think of
wasting your cash on this new release!
Ahhh! Now this is a great recording indeed from America's DEMONCY!
This release is not actually out as of yet, but Ixithra of DEMONCY was
very generous and sent me a CD-R of the release. The release consists of
a full length unreleased recording from 1996 and two demos, one from
1994 and one from 1995. The release starts with a track entitled
"Knighthood Of The Moonlit Realms", which starts with some soundscapes
of keyboards for about 30 seconds and then the music starts with very
raw like guitar sound and some what light drumming until the track
reaches about 1 min. It then picks up some when the vocals kick
in...this track is very raw like the whole recording really. What's
great about this opening track is that it's just like a small taste of
what the album holds overall, it's almost like an intro into getting to
know what DEMONCY is like and it is a pretty good track as well. The
whole album as I said is very raw, it's also very chaotic and very grim,
especially with the vocals.
Keyboards exist here and there throughout
the recording, not over done at all and even they stay on a pretty grim
level with the music. Also track #4 "Within The Sylvan Realms Of Frost"
contains a small part of acoustic guitar as well which is very cool!
I'd certainly have to say that DEMONCY holds a place, in my opinion, as
one of the truly worthy BM acts from America, there is no doubt about
that at all I think. This is music that really holds a pure essence of
what BM is, and in the US there seems to be a lack of this essence.
The whole CD has 13 tracks and a total
play time of 73:55. Past releases from DEMONCY are really hard to find
because they were all limited releases, I tried to get their first
release for a long time and still have been unsuccessful. Hopefully this
release will be more spread as DEMONCY certainly deserve to spread the
knowledge of their existence (they were actually formed a long time ago
as well). According to Ixithra, Baphomet Records may also be releasing an
unreleased full length recording from 1997 entitled "Joined In Darkness"
shortly after this So It Is Done release. DEMONCY are also planning on
doing a new recording of all new material this fall which will be
entitled "Risen From The Ancient Ruins". So be on the watch for all
these releases!
Marduk "Panzer Division Marduk"
The newest offering from the mighty MARDUK- "Panzer Division
Marduk"...and what a totally incredible/insane release this is!!!
Damn, I have to say it certainly tops "Nightwing" in all areas! This
release is very, very chaotic, very well played, excellent guitar work
and it seems more technical guitar work then on "Nightwing", fucking
incredible vocals, and blasting drum beats.....you just can't dislike
this release, it's impossible! You get 8 tracks on this new release;
titles are "Panzer Division Marduk", "Baptism By Fire", "Christraping
Black Metal", "Scorched Earth", "Beast of Prey", "Blooddawn", "502", and
"Fistfucking God's Planet". Total running time is 30:04...and again
this is an excellent release, insane, if you like Marduk you will not be
pissed off about this release at all!
Thirdmoon "Aquis Submersus"
Thirdmoon's second release (no longer signed to Austria's CCP
Records) now on Austria's NAPALM RECORDS. This CD I cannot compare to
their first release entitled "Grotesque Autumnal Weeping" because I have
been unable to get that release for over a year now, but songs here and
there can be found on some comps from that release. Anyway, this new
Thirdmoon has a new member Wolfgang Rothbauer (vocals & lead guitar) and
the music I think has changed some from the last album. This release is
like a cross between Death/Black/Doom it seems, where the music is a
cross of Death/Black and the lyrics are more of a Doom setting where
most of the vocals are not of a growling but more clean. The release has
some parts I wasn't so impressed with but also I have to say this is a
pretty good release all in all, and if you like technical guitar riffs
and pretty well structured songs (who doesn't?) then I think you
will be pretty happy with this new Thirdmoon. I like it quite a bit, it
is not Black Metal though, there is a lot of different genres in the
music of Thirdmoon and I think they play their instruments quite well!
You get 9 regular tracks and 2 bonus tracks for a total of 11 tracks and
total play time is 50:12.
