In Review: Pagan Flame- Symbole de Vie et de Lumière

    Band: Pagan Flame
    Album: Symbole de Vie et de Lumière
    Year:2011
    Country of origin: Calixa-Lavallée, Québec, Canada
    Label: Wolftyr Records
    Style: Pagan/Black Metal
    Length: 52:49

Seeing that this band is young, with only two previous releases I am shocked to say I was blown away from beginning to end. With the pagan metal label I was not expecting this, this is true to black metal in nature along with a depressive broad atmosphere. After a captivating intro, the second track "La Victoire du Marteau" starts out with a marching sound and goes straight into a relentless blast that sucks you right into the atmosphere then fades into a Forteresse style lead. A brutal drum roll trances into the vocals and turns into a depressive harmony which speaks for itself. There is even a trace of Burzum later in the second track. When I reached the end I thought it would be hard to top this... but then track three came on. Titled "Terre des Loups", it crushed the second track with a broad wall of dark sound and primitive yet intriguing drums. It stabs at the soul. It was slightly repetitious but not to much, just long enough to sink into the atmosphere. The lead on the second riff was untouchable, literally. Normally you don't hear bass stand out in music but in the third track it stood out and completed the atmosphere, especially during the clean vocals. That is one of my personal fav tracks on the album and the song left me thinking where could they possibly go next. Then came track four entitled "La Forêt d'Or". It started out with a intro of birds chirping and sounds of nature, which traced itself into a atmospheric blast in unparalleled portions. The vocalist always makes himself known at the right times, especially in this track. The riff changes in this song are extreme along with warlike keyboards throughout the song with clean and screaming vocals duet which add more. This song will get you lost in the atmosphere. When you think the song can't get any better the acoustic guitars come in and continue from the previous riff into something more dark right back into where the song left off. Onto track five entitled "Un Autre Rouge Équinoxe". This track you will have to hear to believe, it is 11 minutes of pure dark energy. The guitars blend into each other beautifully, reminding me of Walknut. It`s very trance like and to the point in a repetitive way. It is very interesting how they mix minor riffing and a broad feeling of triumph at the same time. The keyboards are hidden but they add to the overall atmosphere. They have a unique sound in this track. Once again the acoustic guitars come in and take the song in a different direction, with acoustic harmonies and keys buried underneath. Every time they pull this off they know exactly how to get the songs blood flowing once again, a great track. Then comes track 6 entitled "Les Porteurs de l'Ancienne Flamme" It starts out with a few keyboards that break the tracks up well and the way it builds up in this track is perfect. There are no vocals for a while in this track, the atmosphere does the talking itself. when the vocals finally come in it has a strong Wotanorden feel, I was very excited about this. They definitely do this there own way. Then onto the last track of the album entitled "Symbole de Vie et de Lumière"- the title track It was a perfect way to end this epic album. I highly suggest this to anyone who is fans of Walknut, Wotanorden, Bathory, Or even Nokturnal Mortum. The whole album is genius in it self. You can purchase this cd through wolftyr productions. http://www.wolftyr.com/

Cult Of Hatred- Times Of Darkness

Midgard is proud to broaden the resistance music genre with this Heavy Metal band. Their very first song was released on Nordland 7, and now we present their debut album. Musically if you take a portion of Frostfödds lyrics and mix it with some Judas Priest and hey presto, you've come pretty close to Cult Of Hatred. Are you a fan of the old Swedish scene, you will surely appreciate this, but as you know Heavy Metal is timeless, so we are sure that it appeals to most. Complete with fat guitar riffs, roaring and really strong ballads and a booklet containing all the texts. The lyrics are refined and personal, and resembles very much the Blue Brigades or Frost Born - in other words, social criticism, but also suitable for the less radical crowd! Limited to 500 copies.

Makss Damage- 2033


German Rechsrap artist Makss Damage has announced plans to release his first cd available to purchase. The following is reposted from his site here



Hail to you!
I announce official: The first Makss Damage album for the end of 2013.
The album will be titled "2033". For the first time MD music will be available for purchase.
A great cover, an interesting booklet, and 14-16 Brütal mastered songs will justify the few euros. Maybe the album will also contain a bonus DVD with exclusive video footage. Previously, there will be a music video for one of the album tracks. This seems likely in the summer. In addition to MD-shirts, live performances are now also finally scheduled.

"2033" is to give the starting signal for the final establishment of the Rechtsrap in Germany!

With our greeting
Makss


Alongside this was the previous announcement that what is probably his most popular song- Antideutsche Hurensöhne 2 (2013) is now available for free download as well as posted on you tube and more. Links for this can be found here
