Machetazo - Necrocovered [EP] (2010)

 

 Born in 1994 into the deepest underground scene of the Spanish Northwest Coast, under the influence of 80’s / early 90’s grindcore, death metal, crust, doom and old school horror cinema, staying on a constant non-stop activity for 20 years, releasing tons of records all around the world, with labels from Spain, Usa, Sweden, Japan, Czech Republic, UK, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Poland... and touring and playing fests around Europe and Usa, including classic places like CBGB in New York City, Maryland Deathfest, Obscene Extreme Fest or SWR Fest.
The band used to have no lyrics, the Mundo Cripta album was the first one with written lyrics.
Machetazo usually featured intros to their songs from old horror films, in the vein of Mortician or Impetigo.
The band logo was designed by Chris Reifert (Autopsy).
The band has had a wealth of guest appearances from other famous faces on their albums. See the additional notes of each album for more details.
Split up in July, 2014.

Skyforger - Pērkoņkalve (2003)

 

Skyforger has been forging their music in the smithy of the Thundergod since 1995

Despite accusations of being politically influenced, Skyforger is merely devoted to the ancient history and pagan mythology of its home country, without any visible signs of political leaning. The band has removed the Latvian thunder cross from its logo because of repeated misunderstandings.

The band's unique combination of ancient and modern influence has given them a wide appeal throughout both the Metal and Folk scenes, and has brought great variety to their song writing over the course of the seven Skyforger albums.
The first of these was unleashed from the forge in 1997. Titled 'Semigalls' Warchant', the demo tape told tales of the last free Pagan tribes of the Baltic peoples; and their struggles with Christian invaders throughout the thirteenth century.
These tales of ancient tribal Latvia and its Heathen tradition were to be expanded upon in 1998 with Skyforger's first full-length album, 'Kauja pie Saules' ('The Battle of Saule'). Later, in 2000, band followed with their third release, the First World War themed album 'Latvian Riflemen'.

In 2003 Skyforger released an all-folk album, "Zobena Dziesma" ("Sword Song"), in cooperation with the Latvian Culture Capital foundation, sponsored by the government.

After the release of their successful third album "Pērkoņkalve" ("Thunderforge"), the band was nominated in various rock music categories for the Latvian Music Awards 2004 and the band performed live at the award-ceremony. In 2011 their album "Kurbads" received the Latvian Music Award in the category "Best Rock Album".

Linda Bēce, Viesturs Grīnbergs and Konstantīns Švedovs were never members of Skyforger. Linda and Konstantīns only played with Grindmaster Dead. Linda did play the flute on "Semigalls' Warchant", but only as a guest.
