Niden Div 187


DO YOU WANT.... TOTAL WAR? YES YOU WANT... TOTAL WAR. Thus you need Niden Div 187... Basically the Dawn guys huffing Zyklon-B. The sound of war manifesting itself into life and breathing the petroleum and gunpowder in with the vigor of a hippie in the country air. Drums like machine guns, guitars like razor wire barricades... This is what you need for your daily fix. That or lock and load, a lot of neighborhoods need some live ammo entertainment.

Il Balletto di Bronzo - YS


I could never say enough about this release. Some hold it to be the greatest prog album ever recorded. At the very least, you would have to be a mongoloid to not agree that it is one of the best to ever come from the Italian scene. It is one of those albums that is 100% perfection from start to finish. A dark cornucopia of seering acid laced guitar, swirling mist infused green colored electronics, and heavy rhythms so complex your mind wont know what to do. and in all likelyhood, you wont be able to understand it with one listen. This can be a tough album to get into. There is nothing catchy here. No repeating melodies for you to latch on to. Just an ever progressing psychedelic tapestry. Allow this album to fully sink in over many listens. You will discover that you're listening to something truly unique and amazing. Break out the blotter acid, it's time to experience greatness.

Blizzard - Pure Filth & Mayhem


Because sometimes Xuligans just want to drink beer and wreck their bionic necks.

FAGGOTCRUSHER

The End 666 - The Ultra Violence


Warning: Not for faggots, Muslims, females, Spaniards, rugby players, ravers, blacks, or wimps.

Sometimes you come across a band so stupid and simplistic that they carve themselves a little niche in your artificial heart. A somewhat unique blasting blend of thrash and black metal, while at the same time being the most generic stupid music you could ever imagine. Don't expect some sort of homosexual RHCP cover band like Death Angel here. Give this album a try and let The End 666 be your French Connection.

GREAT SATAN vs. ARABS

Pestilential Shadows


Another band of the Nazxul camp. Still firmly rooted in the black metal world (just look at the picture). Only the interesting spin with Pestilential Shadows is that they sound more like early Nazxul... Imagine them taking the Totem album and running off in that direction more. Instead of realizing the amazing power or Vow of Vengeance and their epic as fukk transitions to be found on Iconoclast. This is the uglier side of them.


TOTEMIC

Solstafir


When you take an interesting black metal band with no scene connections to taint them. Give them a few years to figure themselves out. Let them add influence after influence outside of the usual bm fare. Keep adding, keep developing, move on, march on... stop, reflect, rock the fukk out. Solstafir developed into a monster of a band as a result. Progressive in their approach, everything from indie to goth to stoner rock and more added to the mix. Catchy as hell, stuck in your head for days songs introspective... The kind of band you can get high with and go somewhere in your mind. You'll hear a bit of everything with them, but nothing like them. Flying under the radar of most metal fans due to not fitting in any specific genres, they are none the less one of the most interesting bands going today. Plus kudos for the Fields of the Nephilim inspired spaghetti western look. Masterpiece of Bitterness and Kold are where you want to start, then look back at their youth.

This is pretty standard, but Xul understands this albums message.
