This band is a new experience for me,they released one demo named 'Nightwandering' in 2011 and has now released their debut on New Era.

 

This Italian outfit plays pretty fast forward black metal in the traditional way.

It's raw n' harsh but at the same time very melodic and actually pretty enjoyable and I have no problems listening through the whole album at once since it has a certain 'entertaining' value to it.

It primitive in many ways but on the other hand you could say it's professionally done and the sound quality is above average and fits the music overall.

 

The thing I like most about this album is the combination of the primitive sounding riffs combined with the more structured stuff.

'Percussimus Fodeus Cum Morte' consist of eighth tracks and surely has it's highlights.

I enjoy what they are trying to accomplish here,easy memorable melodies,but at the same time I kinda think of Gorgoroth,maybe not the right example but as said extreme yet melodic and with it's own charm. They surely manage to help me drift into my own little space,and that's what most music is about.

 

I'm glad I received this one as I would most likely never get to hear it,cause I think this band has potential and they show it on this release which I think is a pretty good debut, and I'll just enjoy this album for a while and probably hear more from these guys in the future.

 

The one thing I have to complain about is the variation which could have been more of,as it spins pretty much fast forward throughout the whole album,a bit monotone at times.

But it could be worse,there are so many shitty bands out there doing simply nada more or less. So all hails to these guys for releasing this one.

 

Lyrics are mostly deal with satanism,witchcraft,black magic,ancient gods,and when I first saw the album cover I somewhat expected some 'Doom' metal or something mostly because of the which drawings and other stuff on the cover 

 

People into raw,melodic black metal should give this a try!

Dauden (Nor) - EP 2012

Dauden - EP

Black Metal .Sarpsborg, Norway

Dauden started up in 2005 & has released a few demos in the underground,I think one of them is still available if you contact the band.
I was so lucky to recieve a copy of their latest EP containing 5 tracks when they delivered one hell of a gig with Cocroach Agenda & Blodhemn in Bergen.
 Before that I had only heard one song "Forbannet Til Evig Jord" witch was pretty good.

Straightforward unholy black metal as they label themselves in the traditional vein is what we get here and Dauden actually manage to deliver a quality release, compared to many others labeling themselves the same term.
 
It's very tight and well played tracks you get here & the production is overall good
It's mostly fast forward all the way but slows down with some meoldic parts in beetween.
My favourites right now is "Sucked Into The Depths Of Hell & "Forbannet Til Evig Jord"

This band has all the right elements combined to make something big in the future.
Don't miss out on this act if you like raw but at the same time melodic black metal.
This is one of the best "new" acts to come out of Norway lately & I hope to see a full-lenght album with this band in the future.

If you have the chance to see this band live, do not miss out!
Live footage will appear here later.
