PTAHIL Release Ortus MCD Via Stronghold Records

Indiana black metal project PTAHIL recently released debut MCD Ortus via Stronghold Records. Formed in the year MMIX, Anno Domini, by multi-instruimentalist, J. Mhaghnuis, the project was created out of studies and meditations of Gnosticism and Satanic Illumination and inspired musically by doom, avant-garde black metal and the complete unwillingness to follow any type of practical theory, musical or otherwise.

Epica – Design Your Universe (2009)

cover

“Design Your Universe” is probably one of the most expected albums of 2009 based on the momentum Epica has been building up since the release of “The Divine Conspiracy” two years ago. This momentum has been helped with endless touring and a live album released in the mean time.

This album clearly shows that Epica’s success was not a matter of chance or anything and that the band is here to stay. “Design Your Universe” is a good improvement over “The Divine Conspiracy” and a worthy next step in their career, since this album is somewhat better than their previous releases. But here comes the ‘but’ in this last statement; the band does not offer much new in terms of ‘freshness’ to their sound.

Miseration – The Mirroring Shadow (2009)

After reviewing several different bands where Christian Älvestam sings or plays something, we finally found one that is pretty solid all around. It’s not that the other bands are bad, but they just don’t feel as cohesive as Miseration.

Miseration hails from Sweden and they play old-school Death Metal. They have greatly improved since their debut album “Your Demons - Their Angels” and this is a good sign since that album showed some promise.
