DESTINITY „In Excelsis Dementia”
For those who just recently discovered the wealth of black-metal talent in France, DESTINITY is another band to file into your misanthropic mind. The groups album, In Excelsis Dementia is a demon spawn of hyper blasting, often brutal, death metal and symphonic black metal.
SEMARGL „Attack on God”

BLINED BY FAITH „Veiled Hideousness”
Veiled Hideousness is a re-release of the groups debut demo with a couple live bonus tracks taken from Under an Occult Sun. BBFs initial full-length Under an Occult Sun is slightly more technical than Veiled and the keyboards take on more of a fantasy feel compared to the gothic layering of Veiled.

TYRANT „Grimoires”
Kraj Kwitnącej Wiśni ciekawił mnie już od dzieciństwa… Zen, sztuki walki, kultura, filmy, no i oczywiście muzyka… Taiko Drums, Shakuhachi, Kitaro… a ostatnio od kilku miesięcy upajam się japońskim metalem. Większość japońskich kapel, jakie słuchałem było spod szyldu heavy metalu i w większości kapel w zespole była kobieta.
