The Digs Divine - Review By Frøya Montezino
A taste of your younger days
Do you ever miss those days listening to Motley Crue and Anthrax, filling your ears with the pure sound of heavy metal? Do you remember your first car hitting the road playing Motorhead, spiking up the surroundings where you felt alive, young and free. Let the dogs divine’s album trig the memories of hanging out with your friends, drinking beer, singing the lyrics of your favorite band with whatever voice was given to you . After listening to the first song of their new album I felt the urge to sing outloud, rocking around in my tiny apartment with the voice of Tom hart filling my living room. I wanted to hear more and I felt happy that I was given this album to write about.
After changing in band members, managers and booking agents they were found by Tim King (soil) who signed them to Mortal Music Inc after hearing they’re demo of “Hell Wouldn’t Have Me” The Dogs Divine find inspiration in bands like Motley Crue, Pantera Guns-N-Roses Ozzy ,Faster Pussycat, AC/DC, The Ramones, The Cult, Anthrax and White Zombie. After years with new forms of definitions in the metal/rock genre, where the new music that’s been produced have been nothing but mere shadows of the freedom old school rockers found in heavy riffs and drum solos (a way of creating music that takes a lot of energy and artistic freedom). The dogs divine have a nice way of mixing old school heavy metal/rock with the more modern version of heavy metal, which works well together.
They’re first song “Dogs” is an explosion of melodic and heavy metal riffs, that will make old school rockers smile, finally finding some fresh blood in the game. Tom hart did not want to make music that sounded like a bad replica of what has been given out by the bands they are influenced by. He has succeeded by breathing fresh air into the music by incorporating some elements from the modern heavy metal. They’re song “Gypsy king “gives the album variation with elements of Texas blues/rock, reminding of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd known by songs as Simple Man and Sweet Home Alabama. Tom hart has proven variety in his voice by singing a soft song like gypsy king where his voice gets spiked up in the song “Join the crowd”. Singing like a true heavy metal vocalist making his voice sound even more “raw” by pushing the line between heavy metal and darker types of metal with something that almost sounds like a soft growl in his voice. They’re last song is inspired by the loss of Tom’s friend Shawn (who is mentioned in the first verse of this song) that killed himself I 2007. The band has stated this about the last song, and I quote: We all experience loss, but this is the type that we question why for the rest of our lives. The song is very melodic like the rest of their songs in the album. The dogs divine has made a song about something that touches a lot of people, suicide. Being left as mourners with questions like why. The song starts slow with the vocal weighing the most of the song were it takes up to heavy guitar solos and a soar intensity in toms so called “whiskey voice”. the riffs and Tom’s voice shows a mere desperation in ones feelings after being left back in such a tragedy, where the song fades away by the slowly dying guitar with the last words: One for the ages.
The band has proven for the skeptics; Old school heavy metal is not dead (only refreshend). To quote AC/DC Highway to hell: Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme, Aint nothing I'd rather do, Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too.

ORKAN - ELEMENT - Review by Gravarson
Dark Essence 5th October 2018
Having fought
their way through cancer and rare, crippling muscular diseases, ORKAN
are now ready with the follow up to 2015's LIVLAUS. The new album,
titled ELEMENT, deals with the power and ferocity of the four elements,
and is a homage to the unforgiving strength of the earth, and the
landscape of their native land, the Island of Stord.
Elements is the 3rd album by Orkan, I remember writing about their first album here witch I found somewhat similar to Taake, especially the vocals. Maybe not so strangfe considering the fact that Orkan has musicians from Taake and Krakow.
All that is more or less gone now and Orkan has their own style and they set the bar high with the first track 'Lenker' witch is a fast and chaotic track, yet there is harmony if you listen closely and the words I sit with after this is fuck yeah!
The 3rd track 'I Flammar Skal Du Eldast' is one of my personal faves at the moment alongside with 'Iskald' and 'Avmakt'
Orkan really use elements in their music and if I had to chose it would be air and fire.
Air for the powerful and majestic blizzardstorms of hellfire they create and fire for the destroyd earth that is left where Orkan's sound ranges.
Dark,majestic,powerful,fast and enegic describes their music well.
I'm eager to hear more of tis band in the future s they have created their own identity, to put it that way.
If you listen beneath the surfce there will riuse a landscape, so the album demands alot as listener and is not for hangover on sunday, or who knows?
There are 7 tracks on Elements but they are all relatively long, from 5 to over 9 minutes mostly so you get value for the money here if you decide to buy it.
This is for those who like the extreme form of metal in case you had not figurd yet.
Agressive and energic the band rides towards the storms that faces and leave no trace of what have been.
I recomend you listen to this album several times as you'll see another dimension rise nd fall into a world only Orkn know how to create.
A solid album and recommended by Gravarson.
Twilight's Embrace - Penace EP - Rview By Ivo
Summer. The scorching sun. The heat that lies over the city like
drape. Chilled wine. Warm nights and even hotter days. Children
playing in the sun.
I fuckin’ hate it.
Luckily there is “Penance”. The latest EP of english death/doom
band Twilight’s Embrace. Dark, cold and bitter. A longing for
contemplative times. Glacial desires and peaceful memories of
solitude.
But enough now with the metaphors and let’s quickly discuss the
music.
Twilight’s Embrace is short and straight to the point. There are
only four songs on this EP but I can’t find a single weak
moment. The band delivers an excellent performance where every
notes vibrates with emotion and passion and I really, REALLY
like the songs.
Openers “Dying Earth” and “Curtain Call” are more than solid
pieces. Albeit heavy and slow, the tracks leave enough room for
the heartfelt melodies to stand out and although I hear a lot of
My Dying Bride, the band never loses itself in preposterous
behaviour and clichés.
But the real pièces de résistance are the significantly longer
title track and the Paradise Lost cover “It’s Too Late”.
Especially on “Penance”, the band has dialed up a notch and
brought the BIG emotions, the grand melodies, the good riffs and
the mood. I feel that the song nicely mirrors the theme of the
lyrics.
About the Paradise Lost cover, I can be short. Excellent and
Twilight’s Embrace have moulded it into a song that perfectly
fits on the EP.
If you take your doom metal like the leftovers of your coffee,
cold and bitter, seek no further!
For all your masochistic needs! I could recommend any reggae
compilation but I’m not that sadistic.

Sarcofago - The Worst - Re-release 24th. August
Greyhaze Records is proud to announce the August 24 reissue of Sarcófago's The Worst on vinyl and cassette formats. The reintroduction of this classic album for the first time on vinyl and tape, complementing the already-existing CD version, comes with massive audio and visual improvements. The album’s audio went through a high-quality remastering process, including audio sourced from original master tapes. The Worst’s reissue also comes with an expanded visual package including previously unavailable photos from the album’s photo session.
Originally released in 1996, Sarcófago's The Worst was to be the band’s last full-length album. Despite criticism on its use of a drum machine, the album serves as a manifest of Metal’s elemental counter-culture stance. It was a spit in the face of the then emergent rise of canned, subpar versions of heavy music such as Grunge and Nu Metal.
Sarcófago's The Worst is so much more than the cheap criticism it has received over the years. It is one of the most cherished offerings by the band and a clear symbol that despite attacks on its very essence, true Metal cannot be tamed or boxed into a palatable package. True metal should be wild, non-conforming, bizarre satanic noise.
