Taken from the forthcoming album Strike.Smother.Dehumanize. Release Date: May 22nd, 2020.

departure chandelier plays their self described ‘napoleonic war black metal’.

dripping papal blood is the secret unreleased second demo
recorded a decade ago in 2010, in the band’s now shuttered ‘the prisoner’s chant…’ studio which rested at ground level across from the oldest cemetery in new york and rumored to be haunted.

this demo brings to life the complex and fierce rivalry between emperor napoleon and the pope pius vII. napoleon went as far as to have pope pius vII placed in confinement.

despite the antichrist’s repugnancy of the papacy, napoleon knew he still needed the symbolic authority of the church during his unprecedented self coronation (referred to by the band as ‘ascension to accipitridae!’ - the classification of predatory birds of prey).

with the appointment of the cruel cardinal fesch (a relative of the emperor) after the antichrist’s coup d’etat of 18 brumaire, napoleon gave fesch with orders to persuade the pope to attend napoleon’s coronation,
only later to be stripped of religious power and cast out of the diocese upon defiance of napoleons inflexible attitude toward the church. fesch later died in rome surrounded by his masterpiece art collection rumored to be pillaged and later bequeathed in his will.

always through the lens of black metal and nostradamus’ prediction of the arrival of the antichrist,
‘dripping papal blood’ intrudes into the interplay and triple-crossing corruption between napoleon, the church and his own art plundering family members appointed through nepotism to the diocese.

DEPARTURE CHANDELIER - dripping papal blood
self released second demo

A bit ridiculous.

This funny mid 90`s like black metal outfit doesn`t correspond with Napoleon and their lyrical concept at all.

Although a seemingly new name, VOODUS' history stretches back to 2004 when the band was known as Jormundgang. Under this banner, the band first released a few demos and then an album for the well-respected Christhunt label in 2014. Sensing the need for a fresh outlook, they changed their moniker to VOODUS and began sharpening their knives. And carved from these blades emerged the 2015 EP, NightQueen, subsequently followed by the Serpent Seducer Saviour 10" in 2017.

However, it was the release of VOODUS’ debut album, Into the Wild, which put the band’s name on the international metal map – for good. Released to widespread critical acclaim in November 2018 by SHADOW RECORDS, Into the Wild was indeed aptly titled. Here, VOODUS honed their craft to its fiercest and most finessed essence, taking the listener on a wild and winding ride through the murky depths of starkly melodic yet crypt-pure black metal. Not one for short measures, VOODUS’ debut album clocked in at 61 minutes, which were as electrifying as they were epic.

Keeping apace with those grandiose ambitions, as well as a desire to expand the dialect of pure-and-proud black metal, VOODUS return with an equally epic two-song mini-album, appropriately titled Open the Otherness. Clocking in at 25 minutes, Open the Otherness proves that VOODUS have more artistry going on in a mere two songs than most bands do across their regular “albums.” Indeed, the band’s artistry becomes ever bolder here, canvassing a wide landscape of sensations and atmospheres within these two equally electrifying epics. Both tracks bring together VOODUS’ now-characteristic meld of melodic riffing, tension-inducing marches, and spiraling violence, with a pronounced emphasis on narrative flow and, especially, daresay-soulful lead work. It’s a sound still staunchly rooted in the 1990s, but aiming for more – and more of “more,” if you will. Not for nothing is this mini titled Open the Otherness…

When so much black metal is about restriction (or at least restraint) and conservatism, it falls to the vanguard to broaden that language in a respectful and reverential manner. VOODUS hereby summons you to Open the Otherness!

From Finland comes a brand new alliance who creates their musical Black Art under the name of BYTHOS! Bythos has made a pact with the infamous Terratur Possessions and will bring forth their debut album bearing the title "The Womb of Zero" to be released 24.04.2020.

Musically Bythos combines cold melodies and versatile riffs, creating rich and numinous landscapes which encounters powerful and vicious liturgies. The music supports the lyrical theme of the songs well, and the moods range from oppressive despair to ecstatic praise of the Dark Gods. The theme of the album is an interdimentional view of the underworld and its deities, emphasising strongly on the spiritual evolution to liberate the imprisoned powers, and make one with the outer Darkness. The resetting of the Divine plans through Destruction and rise above limitations of Life. Beauty in Destruction, Destruction in Beauty. A sonic interpretation of what once was and our constant path of Devolution towards the Luciferian dawn.

Bythos is:
M.S. Vocals (Behexen Official)
M.L. Guitars/Bass (Behexen Official)
L.R. Drums (Horna Official)

Там вообще куча всего не блэк. Venom и Mercyful Fate им тоже не являются так-то. Ни первой волны, ни второй, никакой. Тут вообще непонятно, как автор ролика определял блэковость релизов.
