Silencer - Death - Pierce Me (2001) [Reissue] (2012)

 

 Founded in Stockholm by the guitarist Leere in 1995, Silencer grew from being a strictly solo musical project into a black metal duo when the vocalist Nattramn was enlisted. At the end of 1998, Silencer released a one-track demo, Death - Pierce Me, with the session drummer Jonas Mattsson of Nominon, that attained them a deal with the German label Prophecy Productions in 1999. The recordings took place during July 2000 with Steve Wolz (Bethlehem, Angel, Imperia) on drums. The full-length, also entitled Death - Pierce Me, was released one year later in October 2001, by which time the group had already disbanded. A vinyl version was also released in a limited number of 200 copies.

According to rumours, Nattramn was institutionalised. In 2005 Leere (a.k.a. Casado) joined the Swedish black metal band Shining, whom he already had a close connection with from the past. By the end of the year, after some touring, Casado left Shining. In the years to come within the black metal underground, although defunct, Silencer gained somewhat of a cult status.

The band split up supposedly because Nattramn was institutionalised, but apparently he returned with an industrial/dark ambient project called Diagnose: Lebensgefahr.

Defuntos - Nada É Eterno (2009)

 

Created in 2004, Defuntos is a Portuguese "underground project" of two people: Conde F (vocals, drums) and Conde J (bass). The project was founded in 2005. From the Portuguese "Defuntos" translates as "dead".

 The first demo, entitled "Mundo de Lapides", was recorded in 2006 and released by the Portuguese record label Hell War in a small edition of 250 copies.

 After recording a demo album, the boys signed a contract with True Face of Evil, who at the end of November 2007 released their debut album, entitled "Sangue Morto". The release was also released in cassette format in a limited edition of 222 copies by Dunkelheit Produktionen.

 Later, in January 2008, Egg of Nihilism Productions released the EP "Um sofrimento distante" in a limited edition of 500 copies. And in early December of the same year, Dunkelheit Produktionen released their second full-length album, ''A Negra Vastidão das Nossas Almas'', in a limited edition of 500 copies, also released on cassette with the assistance of Bubonic Productions.

2009 was marked by the fruitful work of the group. This year, Defuntos released the EP "Os Suplícios de uma Triste Lembrança" in a small print run of 411 copies through the German label Necromancer Records. In early August of the same year, the boys appeared on the split album "Florestas de Perpétua Solidão" together with the Australian project Striborg. The release was released in collaboration with Sabbath's Fire Records, Infernal Kommando Records, and Dunkelheit Produktionen. Later, in December of the same year, Dunkelheit Produktionen released their third studio album, "Nada é Eterno", in a limited edition of 500 copies, with an A1 poster included in the first 100 copies. 

At the beginning of April 2010, the material for the fourth studio album entitled "Invocação aos Mortos" was ready, the release was published in a small edition of 100 copies on the Bubonic Productions label. In early November of the same year, the fifth LP, "Luto Perpétuo", was released in a digital package and CD format. 

 By 2011, Defuntos had recorded and prepared new material, which is reflected in the demo album "Restos De Uma Vida Antiga", implemented by the American record company Cocainacopia. The statement was published on February 1, 2011.

 Defuntos is a legacy of the Portuguese Black Metal scene. It was learned that they even gave a demo concert together with other Portuguese bands: Inverno Eterno and Bosque (the date of the concert is unknown).
