BAZ Friday LXXIII – Underground Reco For Underground Maniacs

It’s Friday and I have to say this… YEAHHHHH. It looks silly saying this in nowdays but I need my house and rest. Of course listening to plenty of music.

So, let me start with my recos for all of you, lovers of the underground.

Band: Saarkoth
Title: Cult Of Nature
Label: Independent
Release date: 14 November 2020
Country: England
Format reviewed: High-quality Digital Recording
Style: Black Metal
Time playing: 1:00:36
Cover/Music: 8/10 – 8/10
Details: This band released the first demo in 2017 and only now I had the pleasure to know/discover their music. Very good in my opinion. A band to pay attention and follow.

Band: Warkvlt
Title: Deathymn
Label: Sadist Records
Release date: 10 November 2020
Country: INA
Format reviewed: High-quality Digital Recording
Style: Black Metal
Time playing: 37:02
Cover/Music: 8/10 – 8/10
Details: A very good surprise. The formula used is not new, to be honest. It did remember me a few bands but this band sounds good to my ears. So I decided to advice.

Band: Depleted / A Vintage Death
Title: Depleted / A Vintage Death
Label: Independent
Release date: 06 November 2020
Country: USA / Italy

Details: A Vintage Death is not unknown to me, I made a reco in 2018 (here) and now I’m giving again. But this time in a split together with Depleted. This is a split I advise even if a small playing time.

Band: Shrines of Dying Light

From my private collection…

Band: Angelgoat
Title: “U Slavu Satane”

Country: Portugal
Format reviewed: Tape
Style: Funeral Black Metal
Time playing: 38:52

And now… A classic…

Band: Gehenna
Title: First Spell
Label: Head Not Found (Unkown)
Release date: 1994
Country: Norway
Format reviewed: Stream…
Style: Black Metal
Time playing: 26:44
Cover/Music: 10/10 – 9/10
Details: First… I put “stream” in the format reviewed cause… In the past, I had the CD, the original press. But, I lent the CD to a friend that time and unfortunately, he is no longer between us. I didn’t have the courage to go to his place and ask for the cd back from his family. This Ep is a masterpiece

Don’t forget to support the bands and labels.
