Hecate Enthroned emerged as one of the most intense bands to come out of the Black Death Metal scene. Dedicated to delivering their own brand of truly evil metal with little regard to politics or the trends of popular demand.

1995: The now legendary demo An Ode For A Haunted Wood was recorded in The Academy Studios – Yorkshire under producer Mags and was quickly spread throughout the burgeoning underground scene. This genuinely brutal and haunting demo gave fans the first doorway into Hecate Enthroned’s twisted and dark world; a demon inhabited world of black witchcraft and despair backed by the bands early and evocative live shows. 1996: The newly initiated didn’t have to wait long for their next fix when later that year the band went back into The Academy Studio to re-mix the demo as the EP Upon Promeathean Shores – Unscriptured Waters, released the following year by Blackend Records to rave reviews and enthusiastic fans. This release saw the start of the Blackened years and the video An Ode For A Haunted Wood accompanied the release on MTV being one of the first Extreme Black Metal bands to be featured on this channel.

1997: With an expectant and hungry fan base established from those first raw releases Hecate Enthroned entered The Winding Studios in North Wales during January 1997 with legendary producer Andy Sneap. This enthusiastic partnership produced the classic first full length album The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty. With its iconic cover from the lens of Simon Marsden and music focused by the isolated North Wales environment and the bands inner dark hatred, a true classic of Orchestral Black Metal was born along with the art of Blasting Symphonic Destruction.

1998: Seizing on the success of the first full length attack, mid 1998 see’s the release of the second full length album; the opus Dark Requiems And Unsilent Massacre. This album takes the craft and mood from The Slaughter Of Innocence… and intensifies it. Faster, darker, heavier with bigger orchestration, each track oozes satanic hatred for all that man believes sacred, a masterpiece of blasphemy. Back in The Winding Studios with well respected producer Pete ‘pee wee’ Coleman gave the album a rich and dark production projecting the listener in to a shadowed world of black witchcraft and sexual power. Taking these early releases to the stages of Europe built Hecate Enthroned’s reputation as a destructive live act, delivering performances drenched with hate.

This year also saw the re-release of the first EP Upon Promeathean Shores – Unscriptured Waters, re-packaged and re-mastered with a reworking of the track Danse Macabre from The Slaughter Of Innocence…album and a new track the fearsome, Luciferian Death Code. This re-release showed the metal scenes affinity to this legendary release.

1999: With the art of Blasting Symphonic Destruction nailed to the Hecate Enthroned banner the bands desire for brutality and carnage is sated with the 3rd full length album Kings Of Chaos. This album showed their diverse nature and skill along with the bands ‘Fuck You!’ attitude to drive forward and produce the music that eats away at the blackest of souls. With Pete Coleman at the helm again this time in Parr Street Studios – Liverpool, this album gave metal fans a heavy slab of diseased meat tenderized in a ritualistic chainsaw armed blender. A mirror image of the epic live shows of that time.

2001: The desire to create and evolve saw Hecate Enthroned in The Elevator Studios – Liverpool, again with long term producer Pete Coleman. The collaboration this time resulted in 6 tracks of a more experimental nature for the aptly titled EP Miasma. Blending the art of dark songwriting and the satanic mind set to produce a breathless attack on the senses, all out brutality tempered with a more twisted ponderous approach to show the bands fearless attitude to move between the realms of creativity and pure musical heresy.

2004: Recorded in Blue Room Studios – Manchester and Produced by Phil Green along with the band; Redimus shows a distinctly nasty edge, an aggressive album echoing Hecate Enthroned’s live performances. Full of venom and fury the tracks thunder along a familiar path of anti-Christian ideology and the intent to destroy all in their way. Huge orchestration again to match the vicious guitar assault keeping true to the bands sickening legacy while delivering a fresh approach to the song writing with thoughtful arrangements amidst the malevolent maelstrom. This album was the last for Blackend Records. The band continues to play intensely aggressive live shows all over Europe, devastating stages at major festivals and club venues alike.

2013 sees the band signing a new album deal with Italian label Crank Music Group and at the end of November 2013 the metal world witnessed the release of the highly anticipated studio album Virulent Rapture! This acclaimed album delivered the promise to continue and enhance Hecate Enthroned’s legacy of powerful, high quality extreme metal. Recorded at Velocity Raptor Studios Birkenhead, Engineered and Produced by Mike Smith, Mixed by Mike Smith, Hecate Enthroned and Kami Kopat, it included a stunning vocal cameo from legendary vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva which hinted at future collaborations together. The album was backed by the brilliant performance video for the track Abyssal March.

This album saw the band back on the road for more regular shows playing a mini UK Headline tour in December 2013 and an appearance at the Wave Gotik Treffen Festival in Leipzig Germany. Also a headline slot at 2014’s Hell Fast Attack Festival in Cz saw a stunningly emotional and powerful performance light up the festival. Further packed UK shows throughout 2015 with new vocalist front man Joe Stamps including an appearance on London’s Incineration Festival 2016 cemented the band as the premier UK Black Metal act delivering high paced intensity and quality.

Death - Symbolic (1995)

 

Originally founded in Orlando, Florida in 1983 as Mantas, changed their name to Death in late 1984.
Death was founded by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner. Death is considered to be among the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in the extreme metal subgenre of death metal. Their debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, has been widely regarded as the first death metal record (although there is some dispute to that claim as Possessed's debut album Seven Churches and Necrophagia's debut album Season of the Dead were released before).
Death had a revolving lineup, with Schuldiner being the sole consistent member. The group's style also progressed, from the raw sound on its first two albums to a more sophisticated one in its later stage.

Symbolic is the only album to feature Bobby Koelble and Kelly Conlon on guitar and bass, respectively, and the second and last album to feature drummer Gene Hoglan.

Death disbanded due to Chuck Schuldiner dying of a high-grade pontine glioma (a malignant type of brain cancer that invades the brainstem) on December 13th, 2001. The cause of death was that he took the drug vincristine to help combat the cancer and his condition worsened as he became ill with pneumonia. However, Chuck put Death on hold already in late 1998 after The Sounds of Perseverance tour in order to focus on his other project Control Denied.

Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark (1987) Repress [2014]

 

Under the Sign of the Black Mark is the third studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It was recorded in September 1986 and released on 11 May 1987 through New Renaissance Records and Under One Flag. It was a key album in the development of the black metal genre, and greatly influenced the Norwegian black metal scene that emerged in the early 1990s.

The photograph on the cover was by Gunnar Silins, from a photograph in the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. The model used was Leif Ehrnborg, a then-top class Swedish bodybuilder.

The song "Woman of Dark Desires" is a tribute to the band's namesake, Elizabeth Báthory. "Enter the Eternal Fire" was the band's first epic, reaching nearly seven minutes in length, with lyrics referring to a deal with the Devil. The song "Equimanthorn" makes references to Hell as well as to Norse mythology, including Odin's "eight-legged black stallion" Sleipnir.

Fenriz of Darkthrone called the album "the quintessential black metal album". He also cited it as a musical inspiration for the 1995 Darkthrone album Panzerfaust, besides Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales and Vader's Necrolust demo.

The song "Call from the Grave" was featured in 2009 game Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned.

 In order to make The Beast more noticeable on the album cover, the center piece of the shot had to be enlarged to quite such an extent vast parts of the set had to be left out of the album cover.

 

 

Immortal - Battles In The North (1995) Reissue [2015]

Battles in the North is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal band Immortal. It was released on May 15, 1995 through Osmose Productions. It picks up where its predecessor, Pure Holocaust, left off, featuring extreme tempos, low-fidelity production, and lyrics about coldness or wintery landscapes. This is the first album where the concept of Blashyrkh becomes a central focus. The last album to feature Abbath on drums.

The songs "Cursed Realms of the Winterdemons" and "Circling Above in Time Before Time" reference The Underdark, a setting from Dungeons and Dragons.

Music videos were made for "Blashyrkh (Mighty Ravendark)" and "Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms", the latter featuring Hellhammer on drums, who also became the band's touring drummer during this period.

Immortal's primary members have never been involved in the more controversial activities of some of their contemporaries in the second wave of black metal. Their lyrics have also never involved the religious or political ideologies often associated with the scene to any great extent, instead being concerned with darkness and evil in a fantasy setting.

Brujeria - Matando Güeros (1993)

Brujeria is a Mexican extreme metal band formed in Tijuana, Mexico in 1989. Their name comes from the Spanish word for "witchcraft". Their songs, which are sung in Spanish, are focused on Satanism, anti-Christianity, sex, immigration, narcotics smuggling, and politics. Portraying a Mexican image and with a heavy anti-American stance, the majority of the band's members are Mexican-born, with some being American, Swedish or British.

Brujeria alumni include Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera, as well as Billy Gould, Nicholas Barker, Jeff Walker and Shane Embury. They perform under pseudonyms and portray themselves as a Latino band consisting of drug lords, concealing their identities due to being wanted by the FBI. In videos and photographs of the band, they are shown wearing bandanas, balaclavas, serapes, and are often shown wielding machetes.

 Label: Roadrunner Records.

This is the only pure grindcore full-length album released by Brujeria, as later albums show a more death/groove sound.
"Güero" is a Mexican slang term for a pale-skinned or blonde-haired person, specifically used as a slur for US citizens of white/caucasian race.
Track 16 to 19 are remastered tracks off the "Machetazos" single.
The official line-up for the album credits Jr. Hocicon (Jello Biafra) as "Director diabolico" which means "Diabolic director"; it is implied that he was either the producer or exectutive producer for the album.
"Matando Güeros" is one of the songs to the "Gummo" soundtrack.
Upon the album's release there were many censoring issues with some stores in the U.S. and Europe due to its shocking content and graphic front cover. Roadrunner released a censored version with the cover showing just the name of the band and album title on a black background, although the original cover can be found in the inside booklet.
The decapitated head shown on the album cover became a well-known gimmick for the band, which they used as a mascot named "Coco Loco" (meaning "Crazy Head") and was widely featured in t-shirts, flyers and mech associated with Brujeria.

EL MACABRO ORIGEN DEL COCO LOCO

 1993. La historia que siempre se manejó de la macabra fotografía de este personaje y lo que se empezaba a comentar entre la gente, apuntaba a que un pobre desconocido había sido secuestrado, asesinado, quemado y descuartizado por una enigmática banda que radicaba en la frontera (de la que no se sabía casi nada. Eran los 90's y el acceso a internet para conocer algo era bastante limitado, no como hoy día) que tocaban Deathgrind Metal mientras hacían rituales de santería negra y que decidieron tomarle fotos a su cabeza decapitada y ponerla como trofeo para la portada de su disco larga duración, lo cual se pasaba de boca en boca alimentando la leyenda día a día.

 Todo esto no era tan conocido más que en el mundo metalero underground aunque ya había alarmado a algunas gentes y autoridades hasta que un día, fue lanzado un reportaje dentro del noticiero "Ocurrió Así", donde se investigaba la desaparición de un tal Mario Ríos y de su mujer, Alma Ruíz y dónde se menciona que la cabeza que aparecía en la portada "del disco de un grupo llamado Brujería" podría ser la del Mario Ríos que andaban buscando, vinculando a la banda a su desaparición, y esto hizo que se detonara más lo oscuro detrás de la misteriosa banda y su portada, y por ende, se regara como pólvora por todo el mundo.
 En fin, habían creado con éxito un monstruo bastante oscuro que se iba alimentando más y más. Una verdadera Creepypasta noventera con wevos y chingona, que si llegó a hacer que la gente se cagara, no como lo que se presenta hoy día...

 Todo eso fue una leyenda creada de muchos elementos. La verdadera historia de cómo esa foto llegó a ser la portada del Matando Güeros, emitida por el mismo Juan Brujo, dicta que un día, entró a una liquor store y lo primero que vio fue una Revista Alarma (DATO: siempre se ha pensado que fue una ''Alarma'', pero en realidad era otra publicación amarillista similar de nombre "Revista Peligro!" donde originalmente la historia era acerca de un tipo borracho que cayó en las vías de tren y murió decapitado) en dónde venía la foto que todos conocemos, y al quedar impactado también con la brutal imagen, el Brujo se comunicó con la editorial para que le vendieran el original, lo cual al principio se negaron, hasta que negoció ofreciendo U$300 satánicos y de inmediato se la enviaron vía FedEx y de ahí para la legendaria portada de uno de los discos más icónicos, crudos, brutales y únicos de Deathgrind Metal que han existido en la historia de la humanidad.

Dato extra: De ahí Juan Brujo aprendió más español, de leer Alarmas.
 MATANDO GÜEROS POR VIDA. NO VA A HABER OTRO, NO ACEPTAN IMITACIONES.
