In our ongoing investigation of deceptive and outright fraudulent extreme metal acts, we pull the rug under a handful of established outfits that don’t even seem to bother hiding that they are after your money first, artistic integrity a distant second - an audience satisfaction not even registering. The more we pull away the blinds the more obvious these practices become. Maybe your favorite band is in here, maybe your life-long inspiration only cares about the dollars/euros you’re giving him/her? Don’t be fooled, there are plenty of honest, hard-working metal bands everywhere in the scene. It’s just that these money-hungry, artistically vacuum units make it difficult for everybody involved. These bands stopped caring, they lost the passion and fire. In short: they Sold Their Souls...
When grown men (and women) paint their faces, sport inverted crosses and spent more time acquiring the right wardrobe than they do writing and rehearsing, I can’t help but crack a smile at the ridiculousness of the endeavour. Arsonist Lodge, who undoubtly admire the Norwegian churchburners of the ‘90s, are however a solid act within this genre. As you can probably guess this is another one-man...
What a pleasant surprise. I’m not familiar with this band’s debut record from a couple of years ago, but if this record is any indication it is at least a curiosity worth seeking out. Italy has always had a knack for the theatrical, and this band is no different in that regard. Atmosphere, so often lacking in modern extreme metal albums, is something that oozes from every pore of this record. ...
I had some material done already before the demise of Lord Belial. Some of the material was actually intended for the next Lord Belial album, but since we disbanded I changed around all of the ideas into new songs.
Due to the reasons unrelated to both the editors and the band the premiere of the vinyl re-edition of the cult material "Devilri" by Pandemonium has been officially postponed to March 12th 2011.
Godz Ov War Productions about the delay: "We would like to apologize for the inconvenience to all those who are interested in the material. At the same time we would like to inform you that the postponement has also had a more positive effect on the final version of the whole publication. Thanks to that we were able to make use of all the materials sent us by the fans and thus enrich the publication. You can get acquainted with it on the internet profiles of the band.
We would also like to remind you that the material is released in the limited number of 500 copies. One half of the entire edition was pressed on black vinyl, and the other white. The 12 record packaged in an untypical black-and-white envelope, solid, hand-numbered jacket and equipped with a special full-format twelve-pages booklet with lots of archival and unique materials concerning Pandemonium from the early `90s. As a bonus, an exclusive digipack of "Promo 2010" has been enclosed to all copies. It contains the unofficial versions of two new compositions by Pandemonium ("Black Forest" and "God Delusion") from the upcoming album "Misanthropy". Additionally, you can find on it a video with excerpts from the gigs of two of the last year`s festivals and concert video for "Frost"."
