Suidakra - Lupine Essence

Genre: Black/Death/Epic
Country: Germany
Year:1997

1. Banshee
2. Dragon Tribe
3. Heresy
4. Sheltering Dreams
5. Havoc
6. Warpipes Call Me
7. ...And A Minstrel Left The Mourning Valley
8. Internal Epidemic

This is the self-released debut album by Suidakra. It blends elements of medieval/epic, melodic death and black metal quite nicely. The clean male and female vocal work does offer a somewhat melancholy gothic tinge to what is otherwise a very epic and aggressive offering. The production is a bit raw, but it delivers the medieval feeling very well.

Debut album by Lock Up, a grind supergroup that in '99 was consisting of Peter Tagtgren, Shane Embury, Jesse Pintado and Nicholas Barker. From start to finish, this record is just a totally cacophonous, outrageous, blasting demonstration of how death/grind should be done. This is pure violence through great songs, always inspired and catchy. This is pure brutality looking always to the past. 30 minutes of speed, brutality and inspiration.

The 2nd album by Satyros, was sent to us by the band itself. They blend influences ranging from symphonic black metal to more melodic death metal. Their music is much closer to melodic black metal or even melodic death metal than traditional black metal. A pretty solid work with nice sound and some interesting ideas.

1. Birth Of Immortals
2. Lux Occulta
3. Methexis
4. Beyond Death And Time
5. Archangels
6. Eros Aenaos
7. To Our Ancestors

Debut album by Aherusia. The band’s sound is very rich and presents us with a very interesting atmosphere created by the distorted guitars and a cretan lyra, which gives the band that folkish sound, but with a distinctive black metal edge. The overall musical composition of the songs features a wide variety of changes as well as keyboard arrangements that takes the band’s sound to a whole different level. Vocal wise, the band utilizes the traditional harsh vocals, but also combine clean vocals.

The sound quality of this album, produced by the band and mixed by Michael Wagener is still remarkable. The lyrics were credited to the alias "Deaffy" which was revealed many years later to be Gaby Hauke, the band's manager and also Wolf Hoffman's wife.
