Dark Celebration - Phlegeton: The Transcendence Of Demon Lords (2009)

cover

Dark Celebration is an old school Death/Black Metal band from Brazil that is trying to keep the style alive. “Phlegeton….” marks their second full length album but strangely enough it’s only 30 minutes long.

The band’s style is very reminiscent of early Morbid Angel and to me it sounds very similar to The Chasm. The band tries to bring back that old school style that I haven’t heard in a while, and they do so to some extent.

Migdal Bavel – De Magia Veterum (2009)

If you are in the search for an album that will attack your ears mercilessly until they bleed, you are in the right place ”De Magia Verterum” features 10 tracks of very brutal and raw Black Metal.

This album comes very close to “The Codex Necro” of Anaal Nathrakh in terms of aural insanity. Migdal Bavel have managed to release something that will make you want to check yourself into a mental home after listening to it for a few times.

Two years after their amazing album “Iron”, Ensiferum is back with an even better album with “From Afar”. The band was touring for most of the 2 years in between releases but they managed to squeeze this brilliant album.

“From Afar” features nine racks that showcase the strengths that the band has showed in their previous releases and managed to make them more epic by adding new elements that blend to perfection with their old ones.

Interview with Anathema

Afer being fans of the band for 15 years, we had the amazing opportunity to interview Jamie Cavanagh hours before their amazing performance at With Full Force 2009. For our bad luck the interview file got corrupted and we lost a few of the questions. He talked about his passion for making music, that if we want to do something we need to do it with passion. He also talked about the strong family bond that hold Anathema together as a band. And when the file starts he starts talking about their long awaited new album and few other things. Download the file to find out what else he is talking about.

After a very long and amazing trip to Europe our last stop was the 2009 With Full Force festival.

After a great Dream Theater and Cynic concert in Prague, Czech Republic I headed back to my rest spot in Prague and got my stuff ready to wakeup early and take the train to Dresden, Germany for some sight seeing on the way to my final destination of the day: Leipzig, Germany.
