Enthroned - Carnage in Worlds Beyond [2002]

 

Enthroned are a black metal band originally from Belgium, formed in 1993 by Cernunnos (drums) and Sabathan (voice and bass). Before finalizing their second album Cernunnos (R.I.P. 1997) commits suicide and Sabathan takes the control of the band until 2007 when Nornagest assumed the responsibility of the band. A member nothing new or little experienced since he was in the group from the second album and each time was taking more responsibility of the band so it was a "natural" change.

Today there is no founding member.

Vader - The Beast (2004)

 

Vader is a Polish death metal band from Olsztyn. Formed in 1983, the group was founded by then-bassist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek and guitarist Zbigniew "Vika" Wróblewski. Vader went through several lineup changes over the years, with Wiwczarek as the only constant member. Since 2011, the band has comprised Wiwczarek on guitars and vocals, guitarist Marek "Spider" Pająk, bassist Tomasz "Hal" Halicki, and British drummer James Stewart.

Starting as a heavy metal group, Vader eventually went to thrash, speed, and then in the late 1980s became a death metal band. It would not be until nine years after forming that they managed to release their debut album The Ultimate Incantation (1992). The band's name was inspired by Darth Vader from the Star Wars film series. Lyrical themes include stories by H. P. Lovecraft, World War II, and horror.

The Beast was released on September 8, 2004 in Japan by Marquee/Avalon, September 20 in Poland via Metal Mind Productions, and a day later in Europe and the United States by Metal Blade Records.

The release was preceded by the single "Beware the Beast", which was released on August 25, 2004. Two music videos have been made for the songs "Dark Transmission" and "Choices", which were directed by Wojciech Głodek. Video clips were shot at RG Studio while recording the album. In Poland, The Beast landed at position No. 8, and dropped out five weeks later. The album also charted in Japan.

The album was recorded between May and June 2004 at RG Studio in Gdańsk, Poland, and was produced by Piotr Wiwczarek. The album was mastered by Jacek Gawłowski at JG Lab Studio in Warsaw, Poland. Originally, drum sessions took place at Hertz Studio in Białystok in February 2004 with drummer Krzysztof "Doc" Raczkowski, however, Raczkowski fell down a flight of stairs, causing arm and leg injuries. Because of the accident, the studio sessions was postponed. Ultimately, the band decided to hire Vesania drummer Dariusz "Daray" Brzozowski as a session musician.

Doc had recovered from an ankle injury and wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend and newborn son. He was replaced by Daray in 2005, the same year the group signed with Swedish label Regain Records. This new Vader line-up shared stage with Kreator in the US and played in South America and the UK as well. In summer, they recorded the EP The Art Of War at the Hertz Studio in Białystok, which inaugurated a new chapter in the history of the group musically, introducing a new logo as well, followed by more touring in Europe and North-America.

Napalm Death - Order Of The Leech [2002]

One of the founders of grindcore, also contributing heavily to the extreme spectrum of metal and punk. Many consider Repulsion the true founders and legends of grindcore, but this is debatable because technically Napalm Death formed before them.

Originally, on their first few demos, Napalm Death were a peace punk band going under different names such as Political Unrest and Civil Defence, but most of the band names were relating to political/social things. However, they decided to stick with Napalm Death because it was "different" and best described how they felt. The only track officially available from this era is "The Crucifixion of Possessions" from the 1984 Crass Records compilation Bullshit Detector Vol 3. After Broadrick joined the band, they began to incorporate extreme metal influences and eventually would evolve into grindcore.

Their main source of inspiration originally came from bands like Discharge, Siege and D.R.I..

For years the band was considered to be one of the most extreme bands ever. They were notorious during their grindcore days for selling out shows at the infamous Mermaid Club in Birmingham. They gave light to the club and created a huge metal/punk movement with their music in the UK. Such shows that were played at the Mermaid Club were with the likes of other grind and punk bands like Heresy, Extreme Noise Terror, Dirge, Ripcord and even had the chance to open for one of their main influences, Discharge.

Lee Dorrian was the "grindcore"-era vocalist for Napalm Death. He left the band later on the upcoming third full-length release because the band wanted to pursue a more death metal-influenced style. He later went on to form doom/stoner legends Cathedral. Because of this, Mark "Barney" Greenway was recruited from Benediction because he was their roadie while playing shows in the UK and had always been a long time fan of the group.

Napalm Death were one of the first signed bands on the legendary death/grind label Earache (Scum being the third album to be released on the label, cataloged at MOSH3.)

With the inception of the album From Enslavement to Obliteration in 1988, Napalm Death had, against all expectations, broken into the mainstream by debuting at Number 1 on the UK Indie charts, scoring the label's first NME front cover and radio sessions with noted BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who had typically supported the sound from its inception.

Lee Dorian was once asked to play with hardcore punkers Icons of Filth, which would've been his first band. He ended up buying a bass guitar to fill in the position, but the band broke up when he was ready to join.

Long-running guitarist Jesse Pintado died August 27, 2006 of a diabetic coma in a Holland Hospital.

Nailbomb - Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide [1995]

Max Cavalera is originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Alex Newport from Wolverhampton, England. They formed Nailbomb in Phoenix, Arizona, where they resided.

Formed in 1994, Nailbomb was only supposed to be a side-project by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport that consequently split-up after the only live gig at the Dynamo festival in 1995 where the album Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide was recorded, in which Igor Cavalera, Andreas Kisser, Dino Cazares  and Evan Seinfield participated among others.

The project has largely been abandoned for over two decades, with no intention of the band ever reuniting or releasing any new material. However, in April 2017 Max announced he will play the entire 'Point Blank' album under his band Soulfly, later in 2017. However, Alex Newport is not set to be part of these performances, with Max citing his busy schedule as the reason. Instead, he drafted his son Igor Jr. (also of Lody Kong) into Soulfly as vocalist and keyboardist/sampler in order to perform Alex's parts.

Kreator - Pleasure To Kill (1986) [Remastered 2000]

The band was called Tormentor in the old days (1982-1984). Both demos were released under that name. The first line-up was Mille, Rob, and Ventor. A few guitarists were tried before Jörg Tritze joined after the Flag of Hate EP. Michael Wulf was in the band for a few days and didn't play on Pleasure to Kill, despite his getting credit.
Pleasure to Kill is their second studio album, released in April 1986 by Noise Records. Pleasure to Kill is widely considered a thrash metal classic, as well as a landmark album in the history of thrash metal along with Master of Puppets by Metallica, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? by Megadeth, Reign in Blood by Slayer, Eternal Devastation by Destruction and Darkness Descends by Dark Angel, all released in 1986. The album played a considerable role in the development of many extreme metal subgenres, and many death metal bands cite the album as an influence. The lyrical themes follow those found on their first album Endless Pain, containing descriptions of macabre scenes of death and horror.

'' Night is over
Now it's dawn
Your final day
Has begun
Hear the steps
On the floor
Hear the sounds
Of the opened door
Too proud to scream
Too proud to beg for mercy
You will die by the executioner's hand

Under The Guillotine

Tears are running
Down your cheeks
As you see
The axe of death
You were a prisoner
Didn't care about the rules
Now it's time
To pay for the fools.'' 

Tsjuder - Antiliv (2015) [Box set]

 

Tsjuder is pronounced "Shoo-der." The name comes from the 1987 Norwegian film Pathfinder, in which the Tsjuder are a mythical northern Russian tribe.

Tsjuder crawled up from beneath anno 1993. Their intention was to create the rawest form of Black Metal, and continue that for the lifetime of the band. The first official demo tape was released in 1995 with Nag, Draugluin and Berserk in the line-up. From that point on the band has had lots of line-up changes, but Nag and Draugluin have always been part of the band. Nag and Draugluin have also been the main composers of the music, which has led to their distinctive sound.

The permanent line-up came with Anti-Christian joining in 2000. Anti-Christian was temporarily replaced by Jontho in 2002 because Anti-Christian led of heavy tendinitis in both his arms. Anti-Christian recovered, and re-joined the band in 2003.

In December 2005 Tsjuder held its last concert, and because of a variety of reasons the band was put on ice.

What only a handful of people knew was that Tsjuder started playing together again in 2009.

Surrender Of Divinity - Manifest Blasphemy: The Abortion of the Immaculate Conception (2006) [Reissue 2009]

 

Surrender Of Divinity was blasphemously spawned in Bangkok/Thailand by a 4 Siamese Christ-Beheader: Monchai on vocals, Whathayakorn on guitars, Ekaluxx on bass and Paritat on drums with the very basic intention to spawn a strongest and truest Satan-spawning, Christ-beheading, Mary-raping Black "fucking" Metal band and spreading the black seeds of Satan in the empire of SIAM.

In January 2014, the band's bassist/vocalist Samon "Avaejee" Traisattha, aged 36, was stabbed to death in his own home. It is reported that he was murdered by the band's own fan, knifed 30 times, "for tarnishing Satanism". Samong's wife has confirmed that said fan was indeed visiting their home and having a drink with her husband.
