Monastery + Intrepid + Hideous Divinity + Nile ┼ Hard Club Porto (Por) 21.09.2024

 

 


 

 


 

 El grupo Monastery de Zalaegerszeg, Hungría se fundó en 1989.

Al principio, el grupo funcionaba como un trío, junto al baterista Róbert "Billy" Kovács, Zoli Németh y Krisztián Kovács. Después de grabar 2 demos y algunos conciertos, en 1992 se completó el LP "Far from Christ", que fue lanzado por Trottel Records.

Este material se completó con la incorporación del guitarrista László Albrecht, quien fue miembro activo del grupo durante 2 años.

Este fue oficialmente el primer lanzamiento de Death-Thrash Metal en Hungría.. Después de una gira nacional y varios conciertos, Ferenc Tóth "Hufi" asumió el cargo de guitarrista en lugar de Laci.

En 1994, se completó el segundo álbum de Monastery titulado "Postmortem Aggressive End".

A esto le siguieron numerosos conciertos y actuaciones en festivales y, a finales de año, la banda realizó una gira como banda telonero de Moby Dick. Lamentablemente, después de eso, Zoli Németh se fue por motivos familiares, creando un vacío que parecía irremplazable en ese momento. Después de probar sin éxito a varios guitarristas y cantantes, el equipo abandonó la búsqueda. Monastery no se disolvió entonces, pero pasó a un segundo plano hasta 2002, cuando el vocalista Frytz llamó nuestra atención e inmediatamente lo ascendimos a miembro. Junto a él llegaron Simon Balázs como bajista y Ufo como guitarrista rítmico, y Krisztián siguió ejerciendo como percusionista. El material promocional "Way to life" se completó este año, cuyo objetivo era promover el regreso.

En 2003 se completó el material EP del grupo titulado "Fuck this world", y en 2004 le siguió el LP "Misanthrope".

Un poco más tarde, Hufi fue reemplazado por Krisztián Varga, con quien realizó varias giras nacionales, entre otras en compañía de Moby Dick, Cadaveres y Remorse.

En 2005, el vocalista Frytz fue reemplazado por Vince Andres, momento en el que la banda siguió las tendencias de la época y se dirigió hacia el metal extremo, a la sombra del cual se completaron los 3 materiales promocionales del grupo, que también fue el último material de Monastery antes de la ruptura.

 Las dos canciones con "Sinful Star Necrolatry" fueron escritas y arregladas por Enrico durante 2007 y finalmente grabadas por Enrico, Synder y Mauro en septiembre de 2007 en los 16th Cellar Studios por el ingeniero de sonido y viejo amigo Stefano "Saul". Morabito (quien también se encargó de la mezcla).

 Después de un largo período de silencio debido a la reubicación de Enrico en Italia a principios de 2009 (vivía en Noruega)  y su posterior reincorporación a Hour of Penance (de la cual se separará nuevamente en otoño de 2009), la banda finalmente está de regreso con una nueva formación que incluye al vocalista maestro. Enrico H., Flavio y Fabio respectivamente destrozan el bajo y la guitarra, mientras "Mad Horse" Mizio se encarga de mantener los ritmos del tornado.

 Hideous Divinity buscó una formación estable desde el principio. En 2010 estaban funcionando a plena capacidad y llegando al circuito de festivales. Firmaron con Unique Leader Records poco después y lanzaron su abrasador álbum debut, Obeisance Rising . Inspirándose en el clásico de culto de 1988 del director John Carpenter They Live, la banda presentó un asalto sonoro intransigente que evocaba nombres como Nile , Hate e Immolation.

Una nueva canción, "Cerebral Code Of Obeisance", sublima el estado de salud recuperado de Hideous Divinity que consigue un contrato multiálbum con Unique Leader y una participación en el Inferno Festival 2011 en Oslo, listos para lanzar el primer larga duración de su carrera. en la primavera de 2012.

Basada en Werner Herzog la valiente película de 1987 del mismo nombre de , Cobra Verde de 2014 aumentó la intensidad, al igual que el ambicioso LP conceptual Adveniens de 2017 . El grupo firmó un acuerdo con Century Media antes de la llegada de su cuarto trabajo de larga duración, el implacable Simulacrum de 2019 . Dos años más tarde regresaron con el EP LV-426 , que se inspiró en la franquicia Alien. En 2024, HD lanzó Unextinct . Su primer álbum no se basó en una película, sino que se inspiró en la Bram Stoker, novela de Drácula.

A finales de la década de 1980, antes de formar Nile, Karl Sanders tocó con la banda de thrash Morriah y compartió escenario con Morbid Angel , entre otras destacadas bandas de metal. De hecho, el primer demo de Nile olía marcadamente a esa identidad thrash, que pesaba más que cualquiera de los elementos de death metal que más tarde definirían el sonido de la banda. 

Nile es una banda de death metal influyente e intransigente que ha grabado su nombre en los anales de la música extrema. Desde su formación en 1993, han dejado una marca indeleble en la escena del metal, obteniendo seguidores devotos con su combinación única de ferocidad y tecnicismo. Con un sonido tan implacable y brutal como el de los antiguos dioses egipcios en los que se inspiran, Nile transporta a los oyentes a un reino oscuro y místico. Su música es un asalto implacable de riffs de guitarra abrasadores, tambores atronadores y gruñidos guturales, acompañados de pasajes intrincados y atmosféricos que evocan la grandeza de las civilizaciones antiguas. Con su dominio del tecnicismo, agresión implacable, composiciones intrincadas y exploración lírica de la mitología egipcia antigua, Nile continúa cautivando al público con su asalto sonoro incomparable.

La banda categoriza su música como "Ithyphallic Metal", en referencia a sus temas épicos egipcios.

Darkthrone - Goatlord (1996) [Reissue] (2010)

 

 Darkthrone started as a death metal group, but having released ‘Soulside Journey’ they decided to abandon the technical death metal style and transformed into a black metal band. The band’s sound has diversified over their career to include elements of traditional heavy metal, thrash, doom, death and speed metal, as well as crust punk. They mainly stopped playing live since 1991 and their last show was in 1996 featuring Satyr as their (one-off) live bassist. Since 1993 Darkthrone has been a duo consisting of Fenriz (Gylve Nagell) and Nocturno Culto (Ted Skjellum).

Goatlord is a rehearsal tape recorded between Soulside Journey and A Blaze In The Northern Sky, containing songs which were scrapped after the band changed direction from being Death Metal to Black Metal. The vocals were added in 1994.

 Most of the lyrics for Goatlord were written in the autumn of 1990, with some additions in 1994 for the last two songs.

 Satyr from the band Satyricon was in charge of the screams for the songs "Rex" and "Sadomasochistic Rites".

 According to Fenriz, he was the one who performed the "female" vocals.

Side A
1.     Rex     03:48
2.     Pure Demoniac Blessing     02:35
