Satanic Warmaster & Archgoat - Lux Satanae (Thirteen Hymns of Finnish Devil Worship) [2015] Repress (2016)

 

Both revisited and re-recorded with their respective current lineups. With both bands coming off career high-points - ''Fimbulwinter'' and ''The Apocalyptic Triumphator'', respectively - Satanic Warmaster and Archgoat here prove why they're not only among the most celebrated bands in Finnish black metal, but international black metal in general. On Lux Satanae, Satanic Warmaster recast their past in the cleaner, more concertedly epic path laid out by Fimbulwinter, while Archgoat reignite the same ghastly power they trademarked in the early '90s.

SATANIC WARMASTER

ARCHGOAT

Arckanum - The 11 Year Anniversary Album [best of-compilation] (2004)

Shamaatae joined his first band, Conquest, aged eleven, the band later evolving into Grotesque on drums. On leaving Grotesque, Shamaatae formed a technical death metal band called Disinterment (before called Absorption) who recorded one demo and played a few gigs before splitting up. At the end of 1992, Shamaatae decided to return to black metal and 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕟𝕦𝕞 was started. Initially a full band, it became a solo project after six months.

After several releases, by 1998 Shamaatae had discontinued working with Necropolis Records because they went under, and turned his attention to writing books under the pen-names Vexior and Ekortu on the subjects of Pan, Old Norse traditions, runic witchcraft and anti-cosmic Satanism/chaos-gnosticism. His first book, called "PanParadox: Pan Towards Chaos", was released through Ixaxaar Publishing in 2009.

He was still involved in music during this time still working with 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕟𝕦𝕞 and playing drums with The Hearsemen. 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕟𝕦𝕞's album ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ was released on 1 June 2009. Antikosmos and ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ featured the guest appearance of Set Teitan of the bands Dissection and Watain.

Shamataae released 3 more full lengths and several EP's and splits before deciding to record Arckanum's final album Den förstfödde which was released on September 29, 2017 through Folter Records, who are currently re-releasing the band's entire catalogue.

 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕟𝕦𝕞 was split up in 2018 in order for Shamaatae to focus solely on his authorship and spiritual ventures.

Funeral Winds - Godslayer XUL (1998) Reissue [2003]

Funeral Winds was born in 1991 to spread terror among the living, to vomit in the face of god, to live the Black Metal Cult...

Inspired by the old bands Venom, Hellhammer, Bathory, Sodom and Mayhem...
and the never ending dedication to Satan.

1991

Funeral Winds was founded.

1992

The first official recording was released as "Rehearsal/Demo '92".
Only a few copies were send to underground magazines and bands, the tape was never for sale.

1993/1994

In 1993 the second demo was released, called "La Majeste Infernale"(The Infernal Majesty), and spread the name of Funeral Winds within the Black Metal underground. The same year again new recordings were made, two studio and two live tracks, and released as the "Resurrection..." demo, released by Pagan Records from Poland in early '94. An illegal bootleg album containing the "Resurrection..." demo as well as on the B-side demo recordings of Demonic from Norway was released later. It is unknown how many copies were pressed of this LP, and who released it... The track 'Steps of Ritual' appears on the compilation tape 'Morbid Tunes Of The Black Angels' released by the label The Way Of Force from France. Other bands on this compilation were Mütiilation, Zemial, Absu, Moonspel, Impiety, Archgoat, Emperor, Grand Belial's Key, Thou Art Lord, Barathrum, Vlad Tepes, etc.

1994-1998

In 1994 Funeral Winds was invited to Poland to headline, together with the Polish bands Kat and Vader, on a festival called "Sthrashydto '94". A video entitled "Live in Poland" was recorded there. Right after the festival Funeral Winds entered the studio to record six tracks, two for the release of a 7"ep released by Black Arts and four for a Split CD with Abigail (Japan) on Warmaster Records. After these releases the band got signed with Lethal Records for two albums of which the first one should have been released in the summer of 1995. after the recordings, guitarist/songwriter and only remaining founder of Funeral Winds, Hellchrist Xul got arrested for a manslaughter attempt which troubled his work for the band and together with Lethal Records bankruptcy it caused a delay of three years before the '95 album "Godslayer XUL" was released by Daimonion Records in 1998.

1998-2003

A lot of line-up changes troubled the band and caused long delays in the writing and recording process. The "Godslayer XUL" album was re-released by Death To Mankind records from Spain on CD and LP in early 2003.
The recordings for the "Koude Haat" album were made.

2004

A 4-way split 7" with Ad Hominem/Leviathan/Funeral Winds/Eternity was released on Undercover records. Funeral Winds plays live at the Black Metal Blitzkrieg Festival.

2004-2007

A bootleg CD was released by the rip off Unisound records from Greece, with wrong information and inferior sound quality, containing demo recordings and other rare material. New material was written for the third full length album "Nexion XUL - The cursed bloodline" that was released in July of 2007 on CD,LP and limited A5 digibook formats on Sadolust Records from the Netherlands.

Barbarian Prophecies - Origin (2018)

La banda de Death/Black metal Barbarian Prophecies se forma en el año 2000 tras la fusión de las bandas Barbarianth y Venomous Prohecies. En sus inicios consiguieron moverse en el panorama underground editando una demo “Conqueros of the Wolfthrone” (2002), un Ep “War is Imminet” (2005) y su primer disco “Condemned Land… The War Begins” (2009). Pero no sería hasta el año 2011 cuando, tras conseguir una formación estable, publican su primer disco totalmente profesional "Remember the Fallen", grabado y mezclado en los prolíficos Sadman Studios (Madrid) por Carlos Santos y masterizado por Mika Jussila en los Finnvox Studios de Helsinki .
“Remember the Fallen” les permitió girar por toda la geografía española participando en diversos festivales y compartiendo escenario con bandas tan importantes como Napalm Death. Además en Octubre de 2012 realizaron su primera expedición internacional, una minigira que los llevó hasta tierras alemanas, y en la que realizaron tres fechas en Elmshorn y Hamburgo, en donde tocaron en la mítica “Sala Logo”.
Tras la buena acogida por parte de la crítica y el público, en diciembre de 2012 la banda decide entrar para grabar lo que se convertirá en su disco más ambicioso, no sólo a nivel musical sino también a nivel promocional. “XIII” salió a la venta a mediados de 2013 bajo el sello italiano WormHoleDeath, que se encargó de su distribución a nivel mundial. Consta de 13 cortes grabados de nuevo bajo la supervisión de Carlos Santos y masterizados por Mika Jussila, en los que se escucha su personal visión del Death Metal clásico.
En “XIII”, la banda cuenta con la colaboración de varios músicos amigos. Entre ellos, Oscar Insua “Jumpin” que aporta un solo de guitarra en el tema “Embrace of Insanity” y se encarga de las voces y el solo de “Engulfed”, tema que él mismo compuso hace más de 20 años para la que entonces era su banda, “Absorbed” y que Barbarian Prophecies incluyen como tributo a una de las bandas pioneras del Death Metal en España. Raúl Muradás, que participa abriendo el disco con una composición de piano y cuerdas en “The Hidden” y por último, el también guitarrista David Muñoz, que no sólo deja su sello con otro solo en “Embrace of Insanity” sino que también ha sido el encargado de todo el artwork del disco.
