Discoveries

dont know if anyone is familiar with this band but i only just came across them,...

i didnt like it at first listen but this is growing on me,

http://www.aquariusrecords.org/audio/drsfire.m3u i absolutely loved this sample too.

I'm familiar with this finnish band, they did some weird, demented releases. I've come across them in the aquarius records website too some time ago, but their released were hard to find. I got a copy of the cd "A Journey Through the Darkest of Forests" only this year around march. Total Holocaust had a bunch in the distro. Then Antihumanism re-released some stuff in tape format and I got the lp too released by Cocainacopia (once The Sweet Smell of Cirrhosis).
I like the cd a lot, some strange tracks and then there's this song made with acoustic guitar, improvised chords, out of tune singing that gives me the creep and pleasure everytime I listen to it.
Some of the other tapes are ambient, improvised music, Burning Black Infinity is the last album and it was an improvement in recordings and song structure.
I don't know who's behind the project, it seems a kind of cooperation between different artists and musicians. The logos and images of the last album were drawn by a canadian guy and so on.
On an italian webzine they were put close to Dawnfall... but somehow I think they are closer to some psychedelic band still from finland. free folk or whatever they call it. I recommend them, but sometime I think they might sound a little irritating. you have to put your brain in "fucked-up state" eheh before listening (and during listening)
These labels should release new Dead Reptile Shrine stuff soon.

yes i came acros the band through the antihumanism records website, antihumanism is run by the guy from Myself which i had in my distro.

just downloaded the split with torturium, and the cd which you mentioned buying in March. not listened yet, when i restart my activities i think i'll gt the tapes antihumanism has released

The AH tapes were quite simple, black & white glossy & xeroxed tapes, good quality. I have the split too but I listened to it some time ago and since my turntable is still dead...

I was trying to find bands sounding like or close to DRS and I found, as spirt that italian band I posted in the other forum, Rhuith, http://www.myspace.com/rhuith maybe the newest track was the closest in spirit to DRS.

Yesterday I received a cd from a project called ZENITH, released by Aphelion Production. The label description is: The music of Zenith collects Black Metal, Dark, Ambient, Noise and Doom influences blending them with a perverse and sick idea of musical sound” is how the band describe their sound and I can’t say it any better. Leans heavier on the experimental side of very dark and unique strangeness. Like a soundtrack to the worst horror film ever made but in a good way

in fact there's a piano played and feedback and noise played in the background, sung in italian. yesterday, at 2am, was the best experience I've had in dealing with hangovers

Premonitor - Basically one of Sloth's (from SadEx) bands from the 80s. Similar to Nomenclature Diablerie, but better. If Nomenclature is the bastard son of Hellhammer, early Mayhem and early SadEx, Premonitor is the bastard son of Nomenclature and early Mayhem.

where to get this?

To be honest, no idea, I have it on a tape lent to me by a mate of Sloth which is where I found out about it. Metal Archives has no info on them at all, and I haven't seen anything lying around on the net. I'll get the bloke I'm borrowing it from to ask Sloth about it, see if I can get hold of an actual demo or something.

anyone ever listen to Šmiercieslaŭ or Zmrok from Belarus?
both bands are fronted by the same female vocalist/guirtarist
from what i can remember these two had decent demos

Inform about anything regarding that demo...
Maybe we can tape trade?

I have no info myself. And I only have one copy (which isn't mine) and no ability to copy it over to another, so any trading is currently out of the question. Sorry mate.

I'm listening to Murw, self titled demo from 2005. Does some of you ever heard of them? I found out they are dutch (I thought they were canadian...)
Three tracks of varied black metal, fuzzy recording, but a lot of acoustic guitars and melodic passages. At least it's varied.
I'll try to pick up other releases and see how they are. I liked this one so far.

Hello!!!

Welcome to this fucking board!!!

Speaking of Hellas, i recently bought the double CD HELLAS with all the old BM/DM occult bands, fucking awesome!!! The glorious hellenic era of UG!!!

I have listen about this one but never saw it yet...
Yes old Greek black/death metal scene was amazing but now we don't have that strong scene I think, you know already most bands worthy to be reached!

Dead Reptile Shrine is pretty weird. Just discovered Hell Rot. Neat stuff.
