Szron & Kriegsmaschine - Szron/Kriegsmaschine [split] (2006)

 

 SZRON

 Szron is a Polish word meaning ''hoarfrost''.
Szron is Polish black metal band from Piła, formed in 2000.
The band will not suprise you with innovations. Music which they create is old school black metal inspired by the early Norwegian scene combined with the Polish underground.
Band resisted the temptation of pseudo refining music, everything sounds raw, it's primitive, natural and full of emotion.
Band likes to cooperate with other Polish underground bands especialy with Kriegsmaschine. This results with release of many splits.
But there is one downside, you won't have occasion of seeing them playing live, because of economic reasons and dislike of gigs.
Members of band have radical views toward humans, religion and civilisation, what can be seen in the lyrics.

 KRIEGSMASCHINE

 The band's name is a German word meaning ''war machine''.
Kriegsmaschine is a Polish black metal band from Kraków, Lesser Poland formed in late 2002, but currentyl it's a studio project.

Embrace Of Thorns - Praying For Absolution (2011)

 

 Embrace of Thorns is among the few bands that continue to successfully redefine and augment their sound. With each successive release, the band has come closer to achieving the apex of their particular darkness. With their album, “Praying for Absolution,” Embrace of Thorns draw ever closer to perfect ascension. As on their monumental “Atonement Ritual” album, Embrace of Thorns once again employ repetition to enhance the hypnotic effect of the tracks. With this album, however, Embrace of Thorns take a more dynamic approach. All of the band’s constituent parts are perfectly aligned. The guitars are coordinated to unleash black torrents of desolation upon the percussive mania that forms the core of the tracks. The vocals, ominous and macabre, guide the forces conjured by the sonic rites taking place. Characterized by instantaneous transitions between harrowing Death Doom and frenzied Black/Death, “Praying for Absolution” evokes a sense of endless death and perpetual rebirth. The cycle of destruction and becoming. The nexus point of absolution and ecstatic depravity. Divine blood reawakens the senses in the service of darkness.
