DODEN...NDP013
Some black metal from this label as well. I like this. The
vocals are real low though for some reason. So that sucks.
But I like the music. The drummer is pretty fast. The production
sounds real good too. The sad part is I don't even know
what this is called! I can't figure it out from the logo
on the CD.
INTO
THE SUNLESS MERIDIAN
This is a solo project by one guy. He isn't using a drum
machine either. I'm not sure what is going on with his vocals.
He is just talking. Some songs he holds a note. It is horrible
when he is really trying to sing though. The music for the
most part is fast.
BLOT
MINE-Porphyrogenesis
This isn't the worse thing I have ever heard in my life.
It isn't bad. The vocals are okay, this is black metal .
The drummer is pretty good, the production sounds real good.
The singer doesn't seem to do much with his range and that
is boring me the more I listen to it. Otherwise, not bad.
MELEK
TAUS- Expulsion from the Realms of Light
This starts off real slow. A guys talking with back metal
vocals and just a keyboard. Track two breaks into heavy
stuff. The vocals are a bit different than on the first
track. Just a different pitch. The drummer is very fast
with his double bass.
A
MINDS CONFUSED- Anarchos
More death from Near Dark. The drummer is using lots of
breaks and fills, and makes the songs sound better. The
production doesn't seem to be as good as the other one.
There are no keyboards, just some black metal without the
atmospheric sound.
UNDER
THE BANNER OF DARKNESS- Volume 1
Here is a black metal compilation of 15 bands from Sweden,
well all but one is from Sweden. I'm not sure if all of
the bands are on this label, but you should definitely contact
him about getting a copy. My favorites are Without Grief,
Azure, BattleStorm, Enchanted Bliss and Absurdum.
