Krieg - The Black Plague (2001) Limited edition [2007]

 

 Originally forming in New Jersey in 1994 under the moniker of Imperial by what was a then 15 year old Neil Jameson.
Before changing their name to Krieg during the 'Battlegod' & 'Endless Path' demos Imperial outputted three demos before giving the Underground the first full lenght from Jameson in the form of Krieg's 'Rise of the Imperial Hordes' in 1998.
ROFTIH firmly routed Krieg a position within the vast array of styles of USBM at the time, drawing on multiple influences a still young Jameson clearly showing he could hold his own against an already established array of acts that would include the likes of Absu, Black Funeral, Havohej, Judas Iscariot, among others.

Formed in 2019, from the deeper nether realms of hate, conjuring demons and whispering dark litanies Metal of Death from Porto, Portugal.

 Pestifer were formed in 2000, Porto (Por).

Realizing that the prophecy of the end of the world once again was not fulfilled, a fearful idea suddenly drove the blood in torrents. Under the name of Pestifer they saw the chance of killing with its direct physical agonies using horrid sounds. The formulas grew frantically mad.

2017 saw the unleashing of their debut album “Execration Diatribes” which was described by their label:

“Infernal maelstroms and pounding apocalyptic wrath have been conjured and erupted in the most violent, destructive way to ensure dinkum Death Metal chaos and blistering delight. Challenged through brilliant musicianship and compositional mastery.

If you are a real Death Metal devotee (…) you can’t just skip this offering. Death Metal as such has been missing an album like Pestifer’s Execration Diatribes since the beginning of the century. Many tried but none has accomplished it this intense and ultimately metallic way.” (Lavadome Productions).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Formed in 2014, Porto (Por).
The band plays a intense and atmospheric death.
Among their ranks are very experienced people in extreme metal such as M.A. (Drums), Z.P. (Bass), A.C. (Guitars), M.S. (Guitars) and S.L. (Vocals).

 

 

 -Setlist:

 -To En
-Poison Fumes

Autopsy - Severed Survival (1989) Reissue 2CD [2009]

 

 One of the early death metal acts and no stranger to controversy over the years, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco and released 4 albums on Peaceville Records before disbanding in 1995 and going on to form Abscess.

The band notably features legendary drummer Chris Reifert, who began his recording career with US metal greats, Death, before taking on the unusual duty of handling drums and vocals for Autopsy. Autopsy has influenced a whole generation of extreme metal bands, from Entombed and Dismember to Darkthrone.

“Severed Survival” is (rightly) hailed as one of death metal's finest releases. A completely rotten and uncompromising sound - dirty, sludgy, death and doom metal mixed in with repulsive tales of death and disease - it was originally released in April 1989.

 Very rare filmed footage of this classic period of Mayhem.

The video quality & sound is understandably lo-fi, but nevertheless marks an essential and intriguing piece of preserved black metal history.
