Ocultan - Lembranças do Mal, A Crucificação (2002)

 

The band started in 1994 in São Paulo - Brasil , when Count Imperium (at this time the vocalist and the bass player) got together with the guitarist Cerberus . After 2 years of searching, in 1996, they found a drummer: Lord Fausto . In June of 1996 was released the first musical register of the band “Eternus Malus”. Six months later the band releases its first Demo-Tape “Regnus Ad Exus”.
Few weeks later, Cerberus decides to leave the band and Count Imperium assumes the Guitars.
Some months later, in 1997, Dom Junior enters to assume the bassist place. January 1998, Lady of blood enters the band as the guitarist.

After some waiting, in September 1999, finally was released the debut CD “Bellicus Profanus” via Evil Horde Records.
Six months later, march of 2000, by many reasons, among them, personal and musical, Lord Fausto was removed from the band. Count Imperium assumed as new drummer and Males Maleficarum joined as the vocalist.

February 2002 is released the newest work of Ocultan: “Lembranças do Mal, A Crucificação” once again through Evil Horde Records. This release showed a new Ocultan, faster and brutal and all the lyrics were sang in Portuguese.
The same year, in December, the band signs with Mutilation Records and releases its 3rd Long Play “Lords of Evil…” which was released in two formats: CD and Vinyl. This work brought ever more devastation than the previous one.
From this one, the band started to receive many excelent critics from the specialized media!

July 2003 marks the release of the band’s first live album: “Infernal Live” released via Imperial Records
The feedback of the Live CD was better than the expectation and soon the band was receiving even better critics. After this exclusive release, the band already have many songs composed to release its forthcoming album which was released in December under the title of “The Coffin” via Mutilation Records.

Some time after the release of “The Coffin” the band started to receive many good critics and the album was acclaimed as the best Ocultan’s album so far.
April, through professional problems, Males Maleficarum was invited to leave the band. Daimoth was invited to be the new singer and guitarist.
Continuing with the production of great albums, the band enters in studio to record the 5th album of the career "Profanation".

After the foundation of Count Imperium’s own label, Pazuzu Records, is released the new album “Profanation” which had its first 1000 copies sold less than a month!
The good selling and the good repercussion in the specialized media celebrates all the evolution of the band and their work. It also give them the opportunity to play some great gigs and play in some of the biggest Festivals in Brazil.
November, Daimoth decides to leave the band and Legacy (ex-Morthor) joined as a singer only, since then the band returned to have only one guitarist.

In the beginning of 2006, Ocultan starts the process of composition of the new album. After 13 new songs, the band entered in studio to start the recording of “Regnum Infernalis”.
This album demands much more attention to the details and took much more time in the process of composition than the others. This album also has some Death Metal influences and a much more technical instrumental.

“Regnum Infernalis” was released in May via Pazuzu Records. Like the other releases, this one had the same good repercussion and is pointed by some people as the best release of the band.
Dom Junior leaves the band in December and Magnus Hellcaller was invited to replace him as the Bass player, current member from Brazilian Black Metal band Blackthorny.

The year of 2008 marks a historical moment for all the Brazilian Metal scene. The recording of the first Brazilian Black Metal band DVD!
The year just started and the band already start to compose the new material to be released in the firsts months of 2010. In between the band is making tour to divulgate the release of the DVD “Ceremony of Hate”. Ocultan started the year focused in new songs and the band made a deal with the label Freemind Records to release the upcoming album, in december, after finished the compositions and started the studio recordings, once again Ocultan faced changings in the line-up, in this time Legacy left the band for personal problems, with a new stuff about to be finished, Count Imperium decided to came back to the vocals, as it would take some time to find a new vocalist who was prepared to get the songs quickly.

OBITUARY - Godly Beings (Eindhoven, Dynamo Open Air '91) + SEPULTURA - Eindhoven '90

O  B  I  T  U  A  R  Y :

Obituary is an American death metal band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1984. Initially called Executioner, the band changed its name to Xecutioner in 1986 to avoid confusion with the thrash metal band Executioner from Boston, and then changed its name once again to Obituary in 1988. The band's current lineup consists of vocalist John Tardy, drummer Donald Tardy, rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres, bassist Terry Butler, and lead guitarist Kenny Andrews. Obituary has gone through several lineup changes, with the Tardy brothers and Peres being the only constant members. The band was a fundamental act in the development of death metal music, and is one of the most successful death metal bands of all time. To date, Obituary has released ten studio albums, and with the exception of their 1997 - 2003 split, they continue to perform live around the world. Their music is based around heavily groove based riffs and drumming along with John Tardy's barking vocals, which create their signature brand of death metal.

 

S  E  P  U  L  T  U  R  A :

Sepultura was formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The band was founded by teen brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the impoverished sons of Vânia, a model, and Graciliano, a well-to-do Italian diplomat whose fatal heart attack left his family in financial ruin. Graciliano's death deeply affected his sons, inspiring them to form a band after Max heard the album Black Sabbath Vol. 4 the very same day. They chose the band name Sepultura, the Portuguese word for "grave", when Max translated the lyrics of the Motörhead song "Dancing on Your Grave".

The brothers' early influences included Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, and metal and hard rock artists of the early 1980s, such as Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, and V8. They would travel to a record shop in São Paulo that mixed tapes of the latest records by American bands. Their listening habits changed dramatically after being introduced to Venom.

The Cavalera brothers started listening to bands such as Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Kreator, Sodom, Slayer, Megadeth, Exodus, and Exciter. They also had influences on Brazilian metal from bands like Stress, Sagrado Inferno, and Dorsal Atlântica. By 1984, they had dropped out of school. After several early membership changes, Sepultura established a stable lineup of Max on guitar, Igor on drums, vocalist Wagner Lamounier, and bassist Paulo Jr. Lamounier departed in March 1985 after disagreements with the band, and moved on to become the leader of the pioneering Brazilian black metal band Sarcófago. After his departure, Max took over the vocal duties. Jairo Guedes was invited to join the band as lead guitarist.

Belial & Demigod - Invokation From The Pit... Saatana Palvonta Munaa!!! [split] (2010)

B E L I A L

Belial were a Finnish death metal band active from 1991 to 1995. They released 2 albums, 2 EPs and 2 demos. In their earlier work they played a more traditional style of death metal with black metal influences.

The 500 copies of the original pressing of the Gods of the Pit demo tape sold out and gave the band cult status in the underground. This resulted in the re-release of the demo, entitled Gods of the Pit pt. 2 (Paragon So Below). However, the re-release and the original demo are two different items as they have different track lists with the exception of the first two tracks.

Belial started as a black/death metal band. With the loss of guitarist Jukka Valppu, the band headed in a more progressive rock/punk direction. The album 3 features material drastically different than that which appeared on the first releases and is considered gothic rock/punk. The album's title is also a nod to Led Zeppelin, as rather than naming the release, they dubbed it 3 since it was their third album.

Three of Belial's members were involved at grunge rock band named Autumnfire in 1994/95. These were Jarno Anttila, Reima Kellokoski & Jani Lehtosaari and they've done one promo demo in 1994.

D E M I G O D

Demigod are a death metal band formed in 1990 in Loimaa, Finland. They were a popular group in the death metal underground of the 1990s; however, despite a steady status and a healthy number of gigs, the band split up in the mid-90s. The band's debut album Slumber of Sullen Eyes is highly regarded in the heavy metal community.

Demigod re-formed in 1998 and was eventually signed by Spikefarm, a sublabel of major Finnish metal record company Spinefarm, who released the band's second album Shadow Mechanics.

Somewhere between 2002 and 2006, this co-operation came to an end, and the band recorded the follow-up to Shadow Mechanics without a label. The recordings were finished in the summer of 2006, and the album was released by the band's own label, Open Game Productions, in 2007. Since late 2007, worldwide distribution has been handled by the Spanish label Xtreem Music, leaving only the Scandinavian market for the band's own label. Xtreem Music has also re-released the debut album, previously long out of print.

In 2012, Esa Linden and several of the other "Slumber of Sullen Eyes" members took part in several reunion shows.

Mayhem - Deathcrush [EP] (1987) Reissue [2013]

Formed around 1985 by Necrobutcher and guitarist Euronymous (born Oystein Aarseth), Mayhem was the first black metal band from Norway to make a serious impact in their homeland, which in the early '90s developed a burgeoning underground scene rife with violent, sometimes anti-Christian activity, as evidenced by Mayhem's non-musical history. Drummer Hellhammer, who at one time worked in a mental hospital, is the only remaining member of the band's prime-period lineup.

Lead vocalist Dead committed suicide in 1991 (two years after joining the band) by shooting himself in the head; Hellhammer made a necklace using some of his skull fragments, and Euronymous reportedly cooked and ate pieces of Dead's brain. Euronymous, in turn, was stabbed to death while in his underwear on August 10, 1993, by the band's bass player, Count Grishnackh (born Christian Vikernes). Grishnackh's alleged motive was jealousy over the fact that Euronymous had a more evil reputation; he inflicted 23 separate wounds, it was also rumored, so as to outdo rival band Emperor's drummer, Faust, who was convicted in the stabbing death of a homosexual acquaintance. When police arrested Grishnackh, they found over 150 kg of stolen dynamite in his house, complete with a plan to blow up a large church on a religious holiday. Grishnackh went on to pursue his electronic-influenced project Burzum while in prison; meanwhile, Euronymous' parents requested that his bass tracks be erased from Mayhem's 1994 album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, (which featured session vocalist Attila Csihar). Still, thanks to growing world-wide interest in Norwegian black metal, Mayhem product has continued to appear on the shelves into the next century. Hellhammer also put together a new Mayhem lineup, which has toured sporadically. During one such tour in 2003, a concert-goer in Norway received a fractured skull as a sheep head flew from the stage while bandmember Blasphemer was cutting the head away from the torso.

''Demonic laughter your cremation
Your lungs gasp for air but are filled with blood
A sudden crack as I crushed your skull
The remind of your life flashes by
A life that soon won't be
Smiling with axe in my hand
Evil's rotten hand you'll see
I come forward
Deathcrush
I'll send you to your maker
I'll send you to your death
Death nicely crucified
Death, heads on stakes
The barbeque has just begun
Deathcrush - Deathcrush - Deathcrush
Crush - Crush
Deathcrush
Deathcrush
Deathcrush''
