Welcome to the second instalment of the Headshot Music digital magazineâ€¦ and yes, I kind of
messed up.
Having spent a whole month trying to decide whether to make the magazine monthly or
fortnightlyâ€¦ some of the restricï¿½ons have been liï¿½ed in the UK, and aï¿½er almost 4 long months
of not working, I have to start again this week. (Iâ€™m self-employed, but the restricï¿½ons on piercing
studios are geï¿½ng liï¿½ed, so I can return to selling body jewellery).
So, as I was already struggling to get the magazine finished on ï¿½me, this kind of messed up my
plansâ€¦ and because of this, I have to change my plans again and now, most definitely, 100% and
all that crap, Headshot Music will now be published every Monday, with a target of around 20
pages per issue.
Yep, Iâ€™m a useless indecisive ____ (insert the insult of your choice)
For this issue, itâ€™s mainly reviews, as well as the very first, 6 Dumb Quesï¿½ons. With Eddie LaFlash
from Decent News, very bravely, offering himself up as the first vicï¿½m.
Over the next few weeks, there are quite a few interviews in the pipeline, as well as a UK Metal
scene reportâ€¦ so Iâ€™m hoping to eventually have one new interview each week, as well as the
finale of 6 Dumb Quesï¿½ons, alongside, news, reviews etcâ€¦
So, there will be a new issue every Monday and all the contact details are below if you want to
send newmusic for reviews, check out a show from one of the contributors etcâ€¦
Cheers
Steve

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
Acylum have put their ï¿½me in confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic to good use as theyâ€™ve
gone through their archives to put together a compilaï¿½on of demo tracks and collaboraï¿½ons
under the banner of Filthy Memories â€“ Part 2, a follow-up to their last such compilaï¿½on, 3 years
ago.
With a new album fast approaching, you might think this a stop-gap unï¿½l the new album is out,
but in all fairness, itâ€™s so much beï¿½er than just a stop-gap or filler release.
My knowledge of the East German band isnâ€™t extensive, but that might change aï¿½er this release
as this has been an interesï¿½ng journey, with the demo tracks, in parï¿½cular, piquing the interest of
my metallic roots as theyâ€™re a liï¿½le rough around the edges, compared to the more polished
sound youâ€™ve come to expect.
Of the collaboraï¿½ons and remixes, nothing really beats the Wynardtage remix of Dead Culture,
which is a stripped back take on the 2005 original, but in all honesty, every track on this works for
me.
And if any Metalheads have stumbled across this part of the magazine, this could be a good
starï¿½ng point for a journey of discover of Dark Electro / Industrial and related genres, which I
personally think will appeal to a lot of Metalheads. Myself included, obviously.
So 20 tracks in total, with a running ï¿½me of about 90 minutes, this offers excellent value for
money and theyâ€™ve definitely gained me as a fanboyâ€¦

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
I am so far out of my comfort zone here, itâ€™s not funny. But Iâ€™ve always been about
expanding my musical horizons (as well as my waistline, unfortunately), so here we go.
Iâ€™m not sure if Iâ€™d call an 11 track release an EP, but I get why it has been classed as an EP,
as this contains 3 new tracks, plus remixes from the projects last album, Disconnected, but
in a club/dance formatâ€¦ which is why Iâ€™m completely out of my comfort zone here. I may
have seen well over 4000 bands live, but Iâ€™ve never been to a tradiï¿½onal nightclub in my
life. And that stat will never change (thankfully).
So yes, this is very danceable, (not that I dance, or can dance) with bouncing techno beats
and addicï¿½ve keyboards and the alluring vocals of Bridgeï¿½e Collins. And Iâ€™ve found it
impossible not to enjoyâ€¦ a lot. Itâ€™s probably been the promo Iâ€™ve played the most over the
past few weeks.
I have been exploring realms close to this with my Dark Dance shows and I will be including
something from this EP in my next show as itâ€™s a perfect example of dance music and the
dark side of electronica combining to make something, that I consider to be a bit special.
I donâ€™t really care about genres these daysâ€¦ if I like it, Iâ€™ll play itâ€¦ whatever the style of
music. And this is fucking addicï¿½ve.

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
Normally, Iâ€™d put this review in with the Metal reviews, mainly as it would appeal to fans of bands
like Wardruna, early Morï¿½is and to a lesser degree, Summoning. But Eisenwolf is made up of
musicians, normally associated with the EBM and Industrial scene.
The trio behind the music are Danish musicians, John R. Mirland, Tommy B-Kuhlmann and Jens B.
Petersen and this is a very big departure from their day jobs.
Where you decide the place this, is open to interpretaï¿½on. Personally, I think it would fit in well
as a soundtrack to Game of Thrones or Vikings and the overall sound is a mix of Marï¿½al
Industrial, Dark Ambient, Neoclassical etcâ€¦
And from there, Iâ€™d then break everything down into two categories. The more tradiï¿½onal song
format. Like the proud Viking stance of opener, Ritual. Which definitely lives up to its name, in a
Marï¿½al Industrial kind of wayâ€¦ or the pounding beats of the mesmerizing, Kadavermarch.
And then, what I consider to be interludes, atmospheric movements, soundtracks etcâ€¦
Both sides of the coin are masterfully constructed, but my only complaint about the album is that
the two differing styles donâ€™t quite gel.
Both do work individually, but something needs a few tweaks to balance it all out. But
considering this is the bands debut album, my complaint is very minor in the overall scheme of
things.
So a very strong opener from a project that I really hope evolves into something special. Despite
the band members track record, I think this will definitely appeal more to the Metal crowd that
their electronic fanbaseâ€¦ and I look forward to newmaterial with interestâ€¦ but for now, Iâ€™m
going to enjoy this whilst I march up a snow covered hill looking for dragons to slay.

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
When it comes to music, the word â€œexperimentalâ€� generally fills me with dread. Whatever gets
thrown my way is so hit and miss, itâ€™s usually a complete waste of my ï¿½me. But with the inclusion
of Pearl Jam/Soundgarden drummer Maï¿½ Cameron on this release, it made its way up to the top
of my promo pileâ€¦ and Iâ€™m very glad it did.
This is about 25 minutes of music, broken down into 6 movements. The line-up is of a French trio,
Hifiklub, (who include a trumpet player in their ranks) alongside two drummers and a producer.
Musically, itâ€™s Dark Ambient that fires off in a couple of direcï¿½ons. One of the flavours is possibly
North African. There is a strong French conï¿½ngent on this release, so I will presume that is where
the more ethnic sounds emanate from.
Iâ€™d also throw a bit of Pink Floyd into the mix. Mainly from the 60s and 70s. Not so much the
experimental side, more because of the chilled out vibe of the release. Iâ€™d include a few cosmic
vibes from Hawkwind as well. This isnâ€™t quite psychedelic, but it is heading that way, in places.
Add some sublime trumpet work from Reuben Lewis and you have a very accomplished piece of
music.
As with a lot of new releases, all the band members recorded their parts separately, during
lockdown. That makes the creaï¿½on, masterminded by producer, Anthony â€œDaffodilâ€� Belguise, even
more astonishing. How he put this all together, (so expertly) I will never knowâ€¦
Iâ€™ve found this to be a fascinaï¿½ng piece of music. Itâ€™s been a very calming experience and
everything flows, very beauï¿½fully and Iâ€™ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to something thatâ€™s very
new to me.

Review by MiloÅ¡ Å ebalj
Iâ€™m preï¿½y sure I couldâ€™ve wriï¿½en this without even listening to the album. Having followed
the band for years now, there is no doubt in my mind that Angelgoat is firmly set on its
road and thereâ€™s not much room to wiggle about. Having listened to the album, my
opinion is simply confirmed.
With the third album of almost two decades long career, this Serbian one-man band
conï¿½nues where it leï¿½ off three years ago on â€œPrimiï¿½ve Goat Worshipâ€�. Incidentally, the
name of the previous record can serve as a genre reference perfectly. Raw and primiï¿½ve,
satanic black metal is basically what you get. This is the music made famous by Bathory,
Mayhem and their likes. On their earliest recordings, of course. Cuï¿½ng guitars, blastbeaï¿½ng
drums and screaming vocals. On this and the previous record Angelgoat goes for a
bit of a deeper soundscape which might bring connotaï¿½ons with death metal. Use
Canadians Blasphemy as a point of reference. Even some of the South American brutality
comes to mind. However, the input ends in the sound, as the music itself is created by
pure black metal means.
â€œThe Lucifer Withinâ€� is an overall fast album. High speed dominates throughout. Sï¿½ll,
Angelgoat has its calmer moments that make for a bit of diversity necessary on such an
album. If you leave out the introductory track, majority of the record is dedicated to
violence and aggression. Opï¿½ng for an approach that steers clear of a parï¿½cular
atmospheric touch is another feat that makes Angelgoat so similar to the pioneers of black
metal.
If I have to go for a favorite track, it would certainly be â€œBlack Goat Semenâ€� and the riff
that drives it. It is the one that reminded me of the first Angelgoat album the most. It is
also the track whose ï¿½tle should give you enough of a clue as to what the lyrical themes
might be. Taking you back to the name of the previous record, the lyrics closely follow the
musical layers. Blasphemies, terrible profaniï¿½es, death worship and other delicacies which
should earn the parental advisory note.
It is difficult to write much deeper about music that is fairly familiar to everyone. Seems
like it takes just a few words and you will be convinced if this one is for you or not. Sï¿½ll, Iâ€™ve
listened to this record with pleasure, as Iâ€™m sure will every fan of such sounds. If a single
dose of late 80â€™s/early 90â€™s black metal is all you need before switching to a more
progressive side of the genre, then you should avoid Angelgoat at all cost. Headbangers
into above menï¿½oned bands are welcome to take this. They will not be disappointed.

Review by MiloÅ¡ Å ebalj
Itâ€™s nice to hear debutants from the Serbian province. Well, not quite province but outside
of the major ciï¿½es that usually provide us with the newborn rock ensembles. This fourpiece
comes from Negoï¿½n, in eastern Serbia. â€œBeware of the dogâ€� is their name, in case
you were wondering. Already from the band photo on the cover one can assume we are
dealing with experienced musicians. So, ÄŒuvaj se psa is only their most recent output. Just
to add in this short introducï¿½on to this EP the reference to the (in)famous â€œI wanna be your
dogâ€�. Let me elaborate.
If you are in any way infatuated by the Stooges this will be an absolute winner. This band
runs in a strict line along the creaï¿½on of the legendary punk rockers. To be fair, there are
some more influences here. Some grunge energy first and foremost. Mostly in the
producï¿½on department, as the sound emanaï¿½ng from â€œSve je istoâ€� (â€œItâ€™s all the sameâ€� for
the foreign audience) is charged high above what any old school punk record had been.
While Iâ€™m at producï¿½on, it is leï¿½ dirty enough to even reference some garage rock.
Music itself draws completely from the raw, primal punk rock. Basic riffing is only
momentarily enriched by a couple of guitar solos. Even those are fairly simple, though they
do complement the songs a bit. Drums are leï¿½ with some more wiggle room. Sï¿½ll, I have a
feeling Mr. Igor KosiÄ‡ did his best to contain himself within the limits of the genre. Whatâ€™s
more interesï¿½ng is the prominent impact of bass guitar. Thatâ€™s where grunge comes back
into the picture. Even if it sï¿½ll makes ÄŒuvaj se psa a bit grungier version of the Stooges.
You may have noï¿½ced I didnâ€™t menï¿½on Iggy along with his band. The reason for it is the
vocalist of the â€˜Negoï¿½n dogsâ€™. Itâ€™s been a long ï¿½me since Iâ€™ve heard a less expressive singer
in a rock band. The voice of ÄŒuvaj se psa is crystal clear. Even â€˜poppyâ€™ a bit. It just doesnâ€™t fit
into the musical filth delivered behind. But thatâ€™s not the worst part. Singing is almost
completely flat. Emoï¿½onless. Whereâ€™s the rebellion, rage? When youâ€™re trying to express
something thatâ€™s bothering you, you need to raise your voice from ï¿½me to ï¿½me, right?
Scream, shout and yell at the injusï¿½ce surrounding you. Do it so people can feel you
actually have something to say. And that you actually care about what you are saying. This
way, whatever edge you have created with the rest of the instruments, singing is
completely dulling it down. Youâ€™re throwing teddy bears instead of knives. Iâ€™ve even tried
ignoring it, but it is impossible. Totally ruined the CD for me.
So, RnR Records has done a good job by giving a chance to the underdogs. However, the
underdogs responded by giving us a bland recording. Whatever promise the music is
showing and as much as I really want to support such acts, the terrible vocals are all Iâ€™m
going to take from this EP. ÄŒuvaj se psa needs a decent vocalist. ASAP!

Review by MiloÅ¡ Å ebalj
Void Wanderer Producï¿½ons is picking up debutants like siï¿½ng ducks. Scandinavian
debutants to be exact. Now, this project here is the brainchild of two individuals, from
Sweden and Norway. And the duo in quesï¿½on is just minding their own business, running
around and being black metal. As you would imagine, for sure. Not much of a surprise,
you will agree.
Surprises preï¿½y much end at the cover artwork. This one is quite colorful, and somewhat
new age, if I may add. However, the theme is very much in line with what is presented on
the CD itself.
You can very well paint the picture in your ears just by looking at the song ï¿½tles. â€œKillâ€�,
â€œWinterâ€�, â€œCumpriestâ€�, â€œCult makerâ€�â€¦ Speaks for itself, doesnâ€™t it? Despite the lack of
informaï¿½on about the band, one can certainly picture two young and inexperienced
persons. Now, put aside the apparent naivety. I have had such a pleasant ï¿½me listening to
â€œMarburgâ€�.
This is fierce and pulverizing black metal running across the field of every imaginable
influence. Marduk-like blast beaï¿½ng opener is sure to get the blood boiling. Despite
containing a delicate melodic note to it. â€œDeathcrushâ€� era Mayhem in â€œWhores of
Babylonâ€� slows it down a bit. Burzum-esque â€œCult Makerâ€� gets us back to primiï¿½ve
pounding. â€œCumpriestâ€� is a mid-tempo homage to freezing Darkthrone riffing. â€œThe
Creatorâ€� goes for the heavier approach of Infernal War. Not very Scandinavian, of course,
but good enough. â€œWinterâ€� brings back Marduk connotaï¿½ons, but in their slower, more
atmospheric incarnaï¿½on. Dark Funeral lurks in the background as a silent watcher, with
occasional melodyâ€¦ I could go on forever.
Thereâ€™s not a single hint of original approach, or even trying something different.
â€œMarburgâ€� is a simple, honest black metal record. And a quality one at that. Quality like I
havenâ€™t heard in a while. Itâ€™s almost like if youâ€™re ï¿½red of playing your old records again
and again, try this one. You just might support the newcomer without losing any of the
cult status among your fellow â€˜first press collectorâ€™ crowd. You will surely get the first
press of Dommedag. Just hurry up. As far as I understand, the limit is 200 units. They
might go fast if the word spreads outâ€¦

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
I received the shortest of biographies with this EP, which is geï¿½ng a vinyl re-issue, via
Gates Of Hell Records, so I have very liï¿½le to tell you, in terms of historyâ€¦ but a quick
search of what the band name means, according to Mr Wikï¿½onary, is murderess, in
Frenchâ€¦ which is quite apt for a female fronted French Metal band.
The biography menï¿½ons the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Mercyful Fateâ€¦ but out
of the 3, Iâ€™d probably only include Maiden on my list of who MeurtriÃ¨res remind me of.
Of course having female vocals, sung in French, completely changes the overall sound. But
MeurtriÃ¨res do lean heavily on the Paul Diâ€™Anno era of Iron Maiden, in terms of the music.
The vocals on the other hand, veer from good old fashioned NWOBHM (or should that be
NWOFHM?) to a style that reminds me of both Lene Lovich and John Lydonâ€¦ like a
quivering Punk style.
But Iâ€™m sure people will look on the style differently, as it is one of those releases that sits
right on the edge of a variety of genresâ€¦ but most importantly, this is bloody good.
It has a magical energy that harks back to the early 80s and this is just the bands debut!!!!
I hope as they progress they managed to keep this spark because you canâ€™t buy this feelâ€¦
well, you can buy the music (subtle hint)â€¦ but Iâ€™m sure you know what I mean.
I love to catch a band right at the start of their careers, and this EP is a perfect showcase
for MeurtriÃ¨resâ€¦ Hopefully a full length album is in the pipeline as this really whets the
appeï¿½te for more.

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
Back in the 2000â€™s, our promos arrived via cd, normally with cardboard sleeves (ah, the good
old days) and the site I ran at the ï¿½me had a writer that loved Mustasch. So whenever a new
album arrived, it was sent off to him straight away. So although Iâ€™ve been aware of the
Swedish rockers since their very early days, this is the first ï¿½me Iâ€™ve actually sat down and
listened to one of their albums.
So obviously, I canâ€™t speak about their back catalogue, which I now have to discover, but
Killing It For Life is an album of super catchy tracks that sit somewhere between classic 80s
Metal and classic 80s Hard Rock.
I definitely hear the melody lines of the Scorpions, the rhythm secï¿½on of Ozzy Osbourneâ€™s
early solo albums and the hard rocking of AC/DC and Accept etcâ€¦ Thereâ€™s also a tribute to
Freddie Mercury on the album as well. So yeah, I know why their albums always got snapped
up so fucking quick.
On one hand Iâ€™ve so glad Iâ€™ve finally discovered Mustasch as they fit in 100% with my taste in
80s Rock and Metalâ€¦ but on the other hand, Iâ€™m absolutely guï¿½ed itâ€™s taken me this long to
actually hear them.
The music from 1980 to 1985 will always be my favourite era and this fits in perfectly with
that ï¿½meline. Ralf Gyllenhammar has a voice that is both familiar and has its own idenï¿½ty, if
that makes any sense. And the music follows a similar blueprint. Straight away I can pick out
bits of various arï¿½sts that I can latch onto, but all of the songs on this album also have a
â€œMustaschâ€� feel to them.
So Iâ€™m sorry it has taken so long to make your acquaintanceâ€¦ but you guys fucking rock!!!!

Review by MiloÅ¡ Å ebalj
First of all, the name! A clichÃ© to end all clichÃ©s! Seriously!? Okay, it might be an acronym
(though it isnâ€™t menï¿½oned anywhere), but sï¿½llâ€¦Where do we go from here? Naming your
band Music Band?
(I think it stands forâ€¦ wait for itâ€¦. rockriffs of c killers (Steve â€“ Editor)
Second of all, the cover artwork! And they actually have a guy listed that did the artwork!
For what? Some rusty background with a logo on it? Three minutes of beginner level in
Photoshop. Perhaps it could work if the albumwas heavily censored. But it would have to
be a preï¿½y bored censor to even consider this album for a censorship of any sort.
And then the music itselfâ€¦
Which is not that bad, actually. Sure, this is generic hard rock. As generic as it gets to be
completely honest. Someï¿½mes swinging this way or that, but it is a hard rock record. Almost
perfect as a background to cancel out the noises coming from the exhaust pipes on your
local biker gathering. Rock (letâ€™s cut the crap, your band is simply called Rock) performs
what you might expect frommyriads of bands following the footsteps of Bon Jovi,
Scorpions, Skid Rowâ€¦ Naturally, rhythm secï¿½on is absolutely predictable, yet firm enough to
carry the band on its shoulders. Guitars do portray some specter of possibiliï¿½es, though
under-evolved, as there is hardly a riff which will sï¿½ck to your memory. Guitar solos are
expected and they are happening. Though, again, without a deeper effect on the listener
other than recognizing the skill of the musician himself. Maybe even to saï¿½sfy the genre
specificaï¿½on which dictates the presence of solos. Vocalist is fairly expressive and stands out
against the rest. As he should in a band of this genre. There is even a couple of choruses
that might be called catchy and get you going, even if just momentarily. Also Rock is quite
keyboard laden, but they are placed behind mostly. This way they have a purpose of gaining
on depth of the songs. Nice touch, I must admit. But also seen before. Like most of the selfï¿½tled
debut by the Serbian quintet.
Subtly distracï¿½ng from the rest is the monumental introducï¿½on. It sounds epic and
pompous as if to announce the spectacle that lays ahead. Sadly, it doesnâ€™t come. Iâ€™ve said it
is not bad and I stand by that statement. But to expect any kind of higher state of mind, or
arï¿½sï¿½c expression, by listening to Rock is nonsense.
The whole impression is that of a bland record. By a band that needs to be a tribute band
and perform covers in the local pub. Which, Iâ€™m sure, is where they are coming from. Most
probably their live set is sï¿½ll filled with all sorts of covers. If youâ€™re a really (really, really,
really) big fan of music like this and simply cannot get enough of it, this will definitely get
your heart racing. Otherwise, there are much beï¿½er releases around.

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
Iâ€™m a sucker for bands that originate from places not normally associated with Metal and
Atmospheric Black/Doom from Greenland, certainly fits the bill.
Reading between the lines, this might be the last release from Stromptha, and if it is, itâ€™s a
decent note to end on.
The list of ingredients on this this album is quite long. It glides its way through a plethora of
atmospherics, bludgeoning Black Metal, as well as a more Pagan/Viking feel. The glue that holds
it altogether could do with a few tweaks as the joins are not seamless, but itâ€™s sï¿½ll an enjoyable
album.
The first 3 songs on the album follow the Atmospheric Black/Doom path and the final 3 tracks
are generally more gloomy, with the music sounding like Joy Division covering someone like
Siouxsie and the Banshees, (and even a bit of Simple Minds) but with manic, blackened vocals
and an extra dose of misery.
Each track on the album is around the 9 minute mark, so there is a lot to take in on each song,
but the more you play it, the beï¿½er it gets.
And overall, I think I prefer the laï¿½er half of the album. The mix of styles is definitely a bit
different, compared to the first half and I personally think bands need to do this to stand out. So
I applaud the creator, J, for this brave move.
Genuinely, if youâ€™d told me this was a split album featuring 2 different bands, I would have
believed you. But I like both styles, so it works for me, but those with more narrow-minded
tastes might not enjoy the 2nd
part of the album.

Review by MiloÅ¡ Å ebalj
Year and a half since their previous full length record, XeriÃ³n is back with their sixth one. Sure, three of the
nine tracks present here have been published in the previous year on a couple of shorter releases. Doesnâ€™t
maï¿½er all that much as now we have another complete picture of what the band was up to recently. And
the said picture doesnâ€™t differ all that much fromwhat the Galician duo performed throughout their career.
Almost two whole decades of it.
However, thereâ€™s a twist to the tale. As much as the crude, dark black metal was the foundaï¿½on of XeriÃ³nâ€™s
sound, I would note that the prioriï¿½es are shiï¿½ing a bit. The duo has been exploring their Celï¿½c roots for
quite some ï¿½me now. And imporï¿½ng those influences into their music. At this point in ï¿½me it seems as if
they are taking over. Not just as an influence, but as the main inspiraï¿½on behind XeriÃ³n. OK, black metal is
sï¿½ll present. It is sï¿½ll crude, though not as primiï¿½ve as one might expect. The band is set on creaï¿½ng a
certain dark, yet monumental, atmosphere. Supported by keyboards which have become a fundamental
part of XeriÃ³n long ï¿½me ago. You might think of Celï¿½c Frost and their dives into the unknown.
Another thing that will separate the Spaniards are the tradiï¿½onal instruments used. Many have already been
used on their previous releases. And I will not pretend to recognize them all. Iâ€™ve even seen pictures and sï¿½ll
donâ€™t know the names of half of them. So, you cannot call these people simple minded black metal
musicians as their capabiliï¿½es transcend the genre more and more as their discography flows. What actually
happens on â€œO Nada no Caos Infinitoâ€œ is a mixture of styles providing for a very original approach to black
metal. I would even call Primordial their main source of inspiration. But it is still far fetched. Most of these
connotations donâ€™t come from the music itself, but the aura surrounding the album.
Some sort of a flute makes for the introduction track. Thatâ€™s the one that gets the closest to the mentioned
Irish titans. Onwards to the black / doommetal mixture of the second track that closes with acoustic guitar
and organ. It leads into a Type O Negative bass guitar of the third track which announces a slow,
atmospheric black metal song. The fourth one is the most old school of them all, going for the Darkthrone
feel. Neoclassical organ interlude should separate the album, but it doesnâ€™t. Simply because â€œO Nada no
Caos Infinitoâ€œ heads in the same direction throughout. Thus it remains a coherent record, even if there is a
multitude of references to point out. It may seem as if the album lacks a definitive direction, but it is there.
Pointed to creative diversity that revolves around the elementary musical genre.
The obvious truth is that XeriÃ³n found a way not to make raw black metal sound boring, repeï¿½ï¿½ve and
uninspired. Whether you like it or not is a maï¿½er of personal taste. I can only recommend trying it out. If
nothing, you might find sounds you have rarely (if ever) heard. Even if the original black metal gets on your
nerves, there is much to learn here. Perfect for exploring another one in the vast pallet of sounds of the
world.

seems they are signing a lot of bands from Central America, as this an Old School Death metal
band from El Salvador and Iâ€™ve already seen releases from Costa Rica and Cuba in my promo
pile.
Here we have Conceived By Hate, who have gone from a full band, to a one man project,
although a real drummer helps out for the recording, which is a very smart move.
The order of the day here, is Brutal Death, with a barrage of drumming that slays everything in
its way. And although musically, this is Death Metal, the vocals are a bit on the high pitched
side, in a brutal kind of way (not like Power Metal), so flipping this over to a more Black Metal
sound, wouldnâ€™t need a lot of adjustment, such is the blurring of the lines on this release.
Again, as with a lot of the promos Iâ€™ve received from the label, the sound quality exceeds what
I was expecï¿½ng as does the quality of the music. And I parï¿½cularly like the more intense
moments, like on Centroamerica Belica, which is just a full-on assault, yet it sï¿½ll retains
enough melody to keep this accessible, to my poor, damaged ears.
Impressive.

Deathnoisefrequency - Horrid Dirge (Self-Release)
Review by Sam Thomas
Saudi Arabian duo, Deathnoisefrequency have an EP, Horrid Dirge, to delight/torment your
ears. Iâ€™d take excepï¿½on to the ï¿½tle as itâ€™s not horrid. But it is definitely funereal, both in pacing
and in the way that there is an overlaid declamaï¿½on. Itâ€™s a bit like Hawkwind, but also the
music has elements of early black metal (Iâ€™m thinking parï¿½cularly of Burzum). The vocal
(English) theme is of suffering, loss, darkness and despair.
Thereâ€™s also an element of noise to this, which adds a dimension of creepiness and has you
straining your ears to make sense of it all. Itâ€™s not an easy listen, but itâ€™s worth a go as it has
been very well done. I really appreciated it (enjoyed isnâ€™t the right word) and look forward to
the full release hopefully later this year.

Review by Steve Thomas-Green
When you are faced with a one man Cuban Black Metal project, it can go one of two ways.
Itâ€™ll sound like a 90s tape recording with buzzsaw guitars and biscuit ï¿½n drums, or itâ€™ll blow
your fucking mind with how good it isâ€¦
Well, in this case, itâ€™s not quite the laï¿½er, but itâ€™s geï¿½ng there.
There are no tropical influences on this album, the 3rd
this is an ice cold slab of Scandinavian influenced Black Metal.
As youâ€™d expect, thereâ€™s nothing groundbreaking going on here, but I have to say itâ€™s a very
enjoyable, galloping piece of Black Metal. It pummels along nicely. The drums, presumably
programmed are good and everything sounds nice and clean, with just enough of a rough
edge to give this a 90s feel.
Vocal wise, I really like Conspiratorâ€™s style. He sits on the edge of a tradiï¿½onal Black Metal
style, but he also has a Black/Thrash/Bullet Belt gnarliness about him, which I like.
Iâ€™d class this as an excellent find from the depths of the Underground

Starmen - Kiss The Sky (Melodic Passion Records)
Review by Steve Thomas-Green
Starmen are back with their 2nd
album, less than 6 months aï¿½er their Kiss-influenced debut,
Welcome To My World. And weâ€™ll get the Kiss stuff out of the way straight awayâ€¦
The band look like Ace Frehleyâ€™s cousins, with Star painted faces, each in a different colour
and the vocals, at ï¿½mes, do remind me of Paul Stanleyâ€¦ but away from that, Starmen dish
up very melodic Hard Rock/AORâ€¦ lots and lots of it.
And a few hours before I sat down to review this album, I played Loverboy and Turn Me
Loose via You Tube, which coincidentally is the ï¿½me at where Iâ€™d place Starmenâ€™s sound.
So away from the super-slick, super melodic sounds of the early 80s, they also offer up a
superb cover of All Along The Watchtower, which stays faithful to the Hendrix version (Iâ€™m
not sure if Iâ€™ve ever heard Bob Dylanâ€™s original, but Iâ€™m guessing I must have) with just a small
amount of added funkâ€¦
A Mystery Thrill also bucks the trend with Eastern magic that adds a nice dimension to the
album, as does the ï¿½tle track, which channels a bit of Whitesnake, as well as the
aforemenï¿½oned Kiss. But for the most part, this is very melodic, good ï¿½me Hard Rock, which
is a nice distracï¿½on from the real world.

quesï¿½ons they askâ€¦ well, Iâ€™m stealing both of those ideas to makeâ€¦ 6 Dumb Quesï¿½ons
Many thanks to Eddie LaFlash of Decent News for agreeing to be the first vicï¿½mâ€¦ sorry, parï¿½cipant.
I think we spoke about the band name and earlier incarnaï¿½ons in a previous interview. So weâ€™ll begin
with your own family nameâ€¦ LaFlash is such a cool guitar player name... where does the name originate?
And hopefully not from a family of flashersâ€¦.
So my whole life, everyone has thought that my last name is made up, but truth is it's just horribly
Americanized. In the 1600's one of my ancestors traveled to Quebec and changed his last name from Richer
to the name of the town he was from in France called LeFlesche. Then somehow it just became LaFlash.
Who was your famous teenage crush and looking back, how good or bad was your taste in said person?
I really can't remember. I guess I could say Natalie Portman ONLY because she was Padme and when I was in
6th grade I went over to a friends house and he said "Yo, we have to watch Black Swan cause thereâ€™s this
lesbian scene and it's hella dope" (I'm paraphrasing). Looking back, eh.
What album, song or musician made you first want to pick up an instrument?
It's funny because I remember being 10 years old and wanï¿½ng to be in a band despite not knowing
anything. I made a band with my friends in the 4th grade regardless of whether or not they've ever touched
an instrument and we obviously never did anything. When I first started playing guitar like one or two years
later, I really idolized Dave Mustaine. A lot of the Nu Metal and Screamo that was popular at the ï¿½me didnâ€™t
really click with me so I just gravitated towards Megadeth.
When you first started Decent News and you added a Facebook page etcâ€¦ do you remember when you
got a like or a comment from someone you didnâ€™t know? And how was your reacï¿½on?
I'm almost 100% sure our first comment was literally just "gay". It made me giggle. As a band we've never
taken ourselves too seriously so whenever we get any negaï¿½ve feedback we have fun with it.
Your adverts and liï¿½le movie clips are excellent. Arenâ€™t you worried that people might think that they are
actually beï¿½er than the music you make?
Not at all, they are beï¿½er than the doo doo that we release. They're a blast to make and we can take a way
different route with our promos then we can with the music we write. Fun fact: We were failed comedy
writers before we were failed musicians.
If you could open for any band, whose fans would you like to boo you off stage?
Sinead O'Connor. If we ever made it on the bill it would be one hell of a fever dream
