 This is another album that's been getting a lot of play as of late.

Here's what they have to say on their Myspace page:

A massive demonic tower, whos size and geometry cannot be fathomed by mortal man and whos very existance goes against he laws of gravity and nature as it reaches out into the blackened sky past the clouds into the stratosphere, belching black smoke and sending men mad at the very thought of it existance.

Sounds good, right?

“Iskra embodies the DIY approach and attitude of underground crust/punk scene and fuses it with blast beats and other aesthetics of black metal. Their overall sound is violent and explosive; but not without a sense of melody. The band does an excellent job of taking the aggression of crust/grindcore and is able to add in catchy riffs, melodies and attention grabbing structures that make each song very enjoyable. It's a great pleasure to notice that each song contains numerous riffs and does not recreate simple and boring structures over and over again. (…) Vocals are high, raspy, shrieks that sound like they'll melt your speakers.”- taken from the review by WinterBliss, www.metal-archives.com

I've been listening to this for the past few days so I figured I'd share it with you all, this is another one that I must thank Mari for so, thanks Mari! 

Get you some.

I thought I'd finish up Profanum's discography with their final full length. This one is worth having as it finds Profanum continuing with their more romantic classical take on dark ambient. I sure wish they would put out one last full length but i really don't see that ever happening so we will just have to enjoy the 3 full lengths they have. There is also a demo "Under a Black Wings of Emperor" that I will post if anyone is interested, just let me know!

This is Profanum's first full length and it sees them combining black metal with breathtaking classical arrangements. The guitars are still shredding on this one so it gives us the best of both worlds and makes this the "must have" Profanum release.

On this album, Profanum replaced the black metal guitars and bass with classical orchestra music, thus creating a dark and epic journey through the hidden recesses of your mind. Well, haha, i don't know about all that but this sure is a remarkable classic. I guess Profanum called it quits now, but the members are now concentating on their more straightforward black/thrash project "Witchmaster" who are also really good. Check this one out for sure because I know you'll love it.

Origin: Italy
Release Date: 1993
Label: Rosemary's / Contempo

Lineup:

Mick Montaguti - Vocals / Guitar
Alex Guadagnoli - Guitar
Max Canali - Bass
Luca Canali - Drums

I posted this band's Remains demo yesterday, and here is the full-length that followed. Like I said, the only gripes I had about the demo was it's short length. Well, that is obviously fixed here, since this is a full-length release. Great Italian death metal in the Swedish vein, mixed with a bit of Avant-Garde sounding bits. Obscure death metal at it's finest.

Tracklisting:

1.	Premature Burial	03:46
2.	Rising of Infection	03:31
3.	They Died without Crosses	04:14
4.	Growing Into the Flesh (Bleed to Death)	03:26

Here's Zuriaake's only full length so far and in my opinion this is just a supreme masterwork. They play depressive mid to slow paced black metal with a beautiful organic atmosphere. If you liked the split with Yn Gizarm, you will completely love this.

Origin: Italy

Lineup:
Mick Montaguti - Vocals/Guitar
Alex Guadagnoli - Guitar

Well, there really is no better words to describe this than as pure old school tech-death with the good Swedish sound (though these guys are from Italy). Don't be fooled by the "demo" label. This is actually very good sounding, and the only problem with this demo is that it's too short. A long-lost gem is always a good find with today's dying death metal scene.

1.	Premature Burial
2.	Under the Wings Only Remains

The Crucifucks were a personal favorite of mine when I was a kid so I thought I would share this essential piece of punk history. This is a compilation of "Wisconsin" and their self titled debut, so it has almost all of their material. This band was so crazy and they completely spit in the face of the government and anyone in authority.

Here's a groovy stoner album that I just now found out even existed. I tell you what, if you are a Saint Vitus fan you are gonna love this stuff. Wino is in top form just rocking out with this up-beat heavy metal doom band. I'm actually listening to this for the first time right now and I'm loving it. Just had to share. I believe Jean Paul was in Clutch. This album sounds so oldschool, it's gonna be cracking my top ten list this year, I'm thinking.

Holy shiteatin' Jesus! Mongo motherfuckin' Ninja! No beast so fierce! Get ready for 13 songs of lethal misanthropic punkrock mixed with ferocious metal, some infernal boogieriffs, guttural drunken vocals and lyrics that deals with such subjects as sexual frustration, self loathing, violence, fat kids, alcohol abuse and patricide.

Mongo Ninja is here to rock your ass off, blow everything to pieces, fuck and fuck up everything breathing! Burn, pillage and destroy! Mongo Ninja will detonate like a fuckin' nailbomb in your fragile skull. Mongo Ninja is about as gentle as a spikeglowed fistfuck! It feels like being tied down and force fed with slugs from a 12 guage shotgun. Over and over and over again! You will find yourself stumbling around in circles like a drooling moron with a totally sandblasted brain, your jaw on the floor, both hands in permanent skullgrips, and unable to say anything but... GgggagArrgagaaargh! - taken from their Myspace

Do I really need to say anything else??
