Not to influence anyone, but to me @diabolicalofficial is one of the most underrated Death/Black Metal-bands. Just take a listen to the track "The One Who Bleeds" from the featured album. And their discography just gets better and better after this album.

Here is this Sunday's choices. One to rule them all as usual, what is your pick?

"The Rejects" part #1 When it comes to the "Sunda "The Rejects" part #1

When it comes to the "Sunday's choice"-series it ain't an easy task since I have to make tough choices.

Why? 
Because life is about choices. Nobody gets it all!

While photographing the upcoming "Sunday Choice's" I noticed that I missed one of my all time favorite albums. Maybe not a hard guess? But who knows? None of the Sunday posts have gotten the same vote 100% so far.

Old TV and VHS is the video format that I grew up Old TV and VHS is the video format that I grew up with followed by DVD & Blu-Ray to some extent.

All this 4K, Ultra 4K somewhat a mystery to me. 

But back to the VHS. I grew up in the north of Sweden (Luleå) and  even though we had some great bands playing there thanks to Pierre T in the early 90's and so on, it was still nothing compared to stuff that happened in Umeå back in those days.

But, I managed to get a hold of a lot of bootleg-shows on VHS from that time with bands such as Emperor, Cradle of Filth etc. playing small club-gigs and it was awesome for me. So thank you WS for this.

Ok, here is a Friday treat for you all. The inte Ok, here is a Friday treat for you all. 

The interview from 1992 with Euronymous with the classic Swedish Close-Up Magazine (R.I.P.). 

This brings back so much memories...

And, before asking for a translation. There seems already to be a somewhat accurate English translation available online: http://true.mayhem.free.fr/interviews/interview6.htm

Let's do another Demo-CD in the form of IKUINEN KA Let's do another Demo-CD in the form of IKUINEN KAAMOS from Finland and their 2003 demo "So rose the dreadful ghost".

This demo gave an early indication on what the band was perhaps striving towards which is Progressive Death/Black Metal. With their debut "The Forlorn" (2006) they progressed and with the follow-up album "Fall of Icons" (2010), they really managed to nail it. The old Opeth-vibes are present, but without being a clone.

Luciferion We need to talk about Luciferion. Thi Luciferion

We need to talk about Luciferion.

This is a band that has been seen before at TNC, at least in the ”Promo CD”-series with ”Demonication (The Manifest)” 1994. Also mentioned in the ”Metal Militia”-Tribute to Metallica & ”Slatanic Slaughter”-Tribute to Slayer posts. 

”Demonication (The Manifest)” 1994 was my first encounter with Luciferion and it was hard to believe that a band from Sweden sounded so US-Death Metal. Actually better than many of the US-Death Metal bands themselves at the time. 

In 2003 Wojtek was already doing Last Horizon, one of Sweden’s best Power Metal bands ever to exist. But in 2003, ”The Apostate” was released with Luciferion and what a total forgotten jewel it is! The first 5 songs making up a ”Deicide”-length album + ”Circle of the Tyrants” cover & the ”The Demon” 1994 with a production that, at least for my as a bassist makes me love it. 

Too bad that both Luciferion and Lost Horizon seem to be a thing of the past nowadays. But Wojtek is slowly working with a new International Death Metal-project called Thresholder since 2023 with 2 tracks available so far, and they sound great indeed. Let’s hope for a full-length in the future since the Luciferion-vibes are definitely there.

This is the debut EP from Woods of Ypres released This is the debut EP from Woods of Ypres released as a CD-R back in 2002. Later on also remastered and released on various formats by Night Birds Records and Krakenhaus Records (2005) and Earache Records (2014).

My copy is #53/100 of the second printing.

This is a much more Black Metal-version of what WoY later became. And to be honest I didn't really fall in love with the band until I got a promo version of "Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light" to review for the local newspaper - but what a goodamn total jewel of an album! 

Just such a shame that David (R.I.P.) never got to see all the praise the album got.
