[Review] STARSCAPE - 'Pilgrims' EP [Swedish Heavy Metal]

If you like to discover new heavy metal bands who stay close to the 1980's roots whilst forging modern sounds, then two countries excel at producing mind blowing talent.

[In Solitude, Enforcer, Portrait, RAM] Hailing from the latter, Starscape are a band who through their debut EP 'Pilgrims' are set forge their path into the above list of juggernaut heavy metal bands with global renown.

[Review] IN ABYSSUM - 'Apocalypsis Infernum' Demo. [Swedish Black Metal]

In order to appreciate this demo one must first cast aside preconceived ideas about how a music demo should be structured. Rather than coming at this as a fluent musical recording, try to experience it as an example of savage, unadulterated aural carnage. Opening this two track whirlwind of chaos is 'In Abyssum', which isn't what i'd describe as a song, more a collection of psychotic vocals growls, screams, howls, coughs and ravings, melded together with eerie, suspenseful synth work, rhythmic, primal drums and ear splitting, anarchic guitars. This isn't so much music as it is noise, and I truly mean that as a compliment. Feeding of influences such as Abruptum and Mordor, as well as other more experimental music and horror soundtracks, (You can definitely hear some Carpenter in there) the first half of this demo feels like being plunged into the darkest depths of a schizophrenics psyche.
