Aryan Blood & Satanic Warmaster - Aryan Blood / Satanic Warmaster [split] (2007)



Aryan Blood

NSBM band from Germany. Formed in 1998 by Negrobutcher. They have released three demos: 'Demo 1' in 1998, 'Eternal Strife' during the same year, and 'Aryan Blood' in 1999.
They also have five splits with Capricornus, Eisenwinter, Evil (Bra), Satanic Warmaster and a four-way split entitled 'Germeinschaftstontraeger' with Flammentod, The True Frost, and Nordreich. A new split with the German nsbm band Tustra was set to be released in July 2011, but has suffered delays due to the temporary imprisonment of Pride (half of Tustra) for various counts of vandalism and violence.


Satanic Warmaster:

Werwolf bestowed life upon Satanic Warmaster in the year of infamy 1998, in order to finally realize his true expression in art, prepared for by years of battles in crafting unholy Finnish Black Metal in other hordes. Though men and their minds never cease to evolve, the core principles of Satanic Warmaster that were laid out in the brief ritualistic exhortations of the cult demo "Bloody Ritual" recorded in 1999 A.S. have never changed in essence. While forgotten and dreaded because of its unforgiving nature, this release laid out the symbols and signs of initiation to the pact with Satan, which remains the original source of revelation for Satanic Warmaster. Around the same time, Werwolf explored a more triumphant, militant and Germanic musical style with demo "Marsch Zu Neuen Zeitaltern" 1999 A.S. and while the concept of this demo would have only a little resemblance with Satanic Warmaster's intentions, it was important in forging the pattern of melodies used in the hymns that Satanic Warmaster composes in the name of Satan.

Entombed - Left Hand Path (1990) [Remastered 2017]

Entombed is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal which initially differed from its American counterpart by its distinct "buzzsaw" guitar tone. However, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include garage rock and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll. Entombed has been influenced by bands such as Slayer, Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Autopsy, Repulsion, Kiss, The Misfits, Motörhead and Discharge. Along with Dismember, Grave and Unleashed, Entombed has been refered to as one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.

Sinister - The Carnage Ending (2012) [LP 2015]


Starting in 1989, Sinister was a band arising in the middle of the Death-Metal hype. Mike, André, Aad en Ron were joining forces and the Sinister sound was born. After releasing a demo, which sold about 1500 copies, a promo tape followed. Sending out the promo to various labels resulted in signing up at Nuclear Blast Records, Germany 1991. Their debut CD 'Cross the Styx' saw the light in early 1992, and sold many copies worldwide. Many live shows all over Europe followed. Touring with bands like Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide increased the number of people knowing Sinister.

 
In the years after that, 
Sinister succeeded in maintaining their popularity by releasing their second and third album 'Diabolical Summoning' (1993) and 'Hate' (1995) and doing many live shows all over Europe and a very successful 55 show-tour through all the USA.

At the end of this period, Death-Metal got less popular, lots of Death-Metal fans switched over to Black-Metal, Gothic and other atmospherically music. Sinister never thought about playing other music than their favorite; Death-Metal. Some years passed and the band released their mini-CD 'Bastard Saints' (1996), and played a few live-shows. Several line-up changes followed, and led Sinister to write their most aggressive brutal and intense album so far 'Aggressive Measures' (1998).

These time their presence in Death-Metal paid off. Death-Metal is back, where for Sinister it never left. The response from fans and critics where good. Sinister sold lots of albums and played lots of good shows, of which a short US-tour and good festivals like Wacken open air, Milwaukee Metal fest and Czech Dynamo blessed their way. Yet the cooperation between Sinister and vocalist Eric didn't work out very well, which lead to Eric's departure in August 1999. Sinister was searching for a new singer. After some serious tryouts with different singers, Rachel came out best and the band started concentrating on the next record. 'Creative Killings' was released at Hammerheart Records, September 2001. Shortly, after the release guitarist Bart decided to quit the band. A replacement was found in Pascal. The album was promoted with shows in Russia, Belarus and a 26 show tour across the rest of Europe.

In 2002 Sinister decided to join forces again with Nuclear Blast records. The result is the release of their album 'Savage or Grace'.
The album was massively promoted through shows in Mexico, Columbia and a two week tour with Cannibal Corpse across Europe.

After a short split Sinister reformed in March/April 2005 due to letters from the fans around the world. A slight position change though. Former bassist Alex Paul moved to guitar, drummer Aad moved to vocals and newcomer Paul on drums. After the recordings of ‘Afterburner’, several promotional gigs, and after launching there DVD ‘Prophecies Denied’, which was taken in Poland, Paul left the band in late 2007 to pursue other interests.

A new record deal was signed with MASSACRE Records for an album to be recorded in May 2008 titled "THE SILENT HOWLING" with Edwin van den Eeden on drums.The ‘Legacy of Ashes’ album, recorded in 2010, would be the last with Edwin and Alex. After some shows in South-Africa and Russia the band parted ways because of different opinions in the band.

Aad didn’t hesitate and immediately he called his mates from project band Absurd Universe; Toep, Bastiaan, Mathijs and Dennis. Bastiaan, Aad and Toep knew each other already from the band Supreme pain. With this band they recorded ‘Nemesis Enforcer’. Toep and Dennis knew each-other also from their cooperation in former bands, like Putrefied. Bastiaan and Mathijs are brothers … So, putting this band together again with these guys, was just as logical as it could probably be.

In 2011 they started with recordings of ‘The Carnage Ending’ in Soundlodge with Jorg Uken. The band had to prove itself more than ever, after a serious lineup change. But the reactions were amazingly good and positive. With this record the band was back on track. Fans were even referring to Cross the Styx and the beginning of Sinister. Also with bookings agency D19, Sinister was able to play big shows and festivals like; 70.000 tons of metal cruise, Hell fest, Extreme Hate Festival Brazil and Eindhoven Metal Meeting.

After touring the Balkans and many festival shows in Italy and Germany, Sinister did not rest but started writing songs for the monster album ‘The Post-Apocalyptic Servant’, a CD which can be considered as the fastest and hardest work ever from Sinister. In 2014 recordings in Soundlodge were completed and Sinister started to promote this CD with a tour in Australia and many club shows in Europe. The critics were again amazingly good!!

After launching the 7 ”EP ‘The Unborn Dead’, containing two cover songs of Novembers Doom and Grotesque in 2014, Sinister recorded a complete cover CD to celebrate the existence of the band for 25 years, not counting the breakup for two years. This CD was entitled ‘Dark Memorials’ and came out in 2015 and got great responses!

Heading for a new CD in 2017, Mathijs was forced to stop the band due to personal conditions and not much later the same applies for Bastiaan. Luckily Alesa (Aad’s wife) was able to help the band with their mini tour in Brazil and some other great festivals in 2016 as Summer Dying Loud in Poland, gigs in Portugal and Spain, and so on. With Ricardo Falcon on guitar Sinister is on full strength again, for the live and shows and to work on the new songs for ‘Syncretism’, as Bastiaan stayed on the bands side to take responsibility for the 2/3 of the guitar parts on ‘Syncretism’. In November 2016 recordings were done at Soundlodge with Jorg Uken again !! A majestic dark album with 100% pure Death metal will be released in 2017.

In 2017 Sinister played at some great festivals as Netherlands Death Fest, In Flammen, Speed fest, Rockstad, Metal Days, Obscene Extreme and many others!
To start with a steady line up for all shows and the future, Ghislain van der Stelt is recruited on bass guitar to join the squad!!

Gutted - Martyr Creation (2016)

 The band was founded in 1996. In the fall of 1996 we recorded our first demo entitled “Grinding”. In the middle of '97 those songs were made that we recorded only in May of '98 under the title of “Vilification” . This was the band's first studio recording. At the end of the year we stopped using the name Genocide from that moment on. We started using the name Gutted.
In 2000 we recorded a Promo Cd with 4 songs on it. This Promo Cd was sent to labels and a few magazines. Our first album called “Defiled” was recorded in the spring of 2001 and released by the Japanese Eclipse Records in the same year.

In 2004 we started to write new material for our upcoming album and “Human Race Deserves To Die” was released through Nice To Eat You Records at the March of 2005 worldwide . It was followed by a European Tour with Wasteform from New York.
In 2006 Gutted made an eastern European Tour with Radikalis Amputacio and Korog.
In 2007 the band closed its all activities and stopped playing. But the members (Gábor, Zsolt, Sándor) couldn't live without this thing and re-activated the band at the same year's end.
2008 was for writing new material. Played live not at all. 3 new songs were recorded for promotional purposes only. Gutted started looking for a label. Gutted signed with Russian extreme metal label Soul Flesh Collector.
