REABILITATOR founded in 2010 by Dmitry Prasolov in Zaporozhye (Ukraine) under the influence of music NWOTM (New Wave of Thrash Metal). With presence in the city of vocalists and understanding of this style were problems, so the drummer decided to sing for the installation. The debut took place in the capital (Kiev) at the beginning of 2012, in the middle of this year, the release of the album "Global Degeneration", then followed by a concert activity in Ukrainian cities.

STREAM: Fimbulvinter - Начертаны Резы Древних Заклятий (2015)





Band formed in February 2009. During this time, several times changed the line-up; last changes was recently - the band parted ways with bassist. In the years since its foundation, the music has undergone significant changes, largely withdrawing from the canons of the genre in the direction of their own vision and understanding of black metal. In 2015 it was recorded debut full length "Ancient Spell's Inscribed Cuts" which was issued long-accumulated material. The group is currently working on new material, and actively advocates.

INTER ARMA - The Cavern (2014)

Nie jest to typowe wydawnictwo. Nieczęsto spotyka się płytę, która sygnowaną jako EP-ka trwa prawie 46 minut, czyli dłużej niż spora część regularnych albumów. Na dodatek te trzy kwadranse to zaledwie 1 utwór, a niełatwo jest skomponować tak długi kawałek, aby z jednej strony nie uśpić słuchacza a z drugiej nie przytłoczyć go złożonością aranżacji. W tym przypadku ta sztuka się udała, chociaż muszę przyznać, że nie jest to łatwa muzyka w odbiorze i wymaga skupienia się nad nią. Utwór rozpoczyna kilkuminutowe ambientowe wprowadzanie, które następnie przechodzi w wolny, miażdżący sludge metal z elementami progresywnymi. Ciężkie, powtarzalne riffy hipnotyzują, a towarzyszą im naprzemiennie, ukryty lekko z tyłu pełen rozpaczy wokal oraz growl. Motyw ten przewija się zresztą przez całą płytę, chociaż mniej więcej w połowie pojawiają się fragmenty z akustycznymi instrumentami, wiolonczelą i czystymi wokalami. Po nich następuje powrót do sludge metalu z elementami doom, które doprowadzają nas do finałowego etapu, w którym sludge łączy się z black metalem, a całą podróż zamyka na noisowy szum. Integralną częścią jest tekst, który opowiada historię idealnie komponującą się z dźwiękami. Jak wspomniałem, nie jest to łatwy w odbiorze krążek i jeszcze muszę go kilka razy przesłuchać, aby odkryć wszystkie jego tajemnice.

STREAM: Styxian Industries - Zero​.​Void​.​Nullified {Of Apathy And Armageddon} (2016)







Styxian Industries is influenced by bands such as Mysticum, Blacklodge, Diabolicum and Aborym, who all use a combination of industrial elements and more conventional black metal. While others get their industrial touch from samples and backingtracks Styxian Industries incorporated theirs by using distortion flooded e-drums. This maintains both the organic feel of our deterioration as well as the machinery achieving our glorious apocalyptic salvation. During 2009 the band released two rehearsels on CDR, both sold out at this moment. At the beginning of 2010 “Salvation through Detorioration” was recorded and released upon the world. In 2012 Total Death Records released the Styxian Industries - Redreom Split CD "Der Befehl lautet:Toete / Manifestation-Exaltation-Revelation". Five songs of harsh and torturing German Oldschool Black Metal and five songs of demonical and evil Industrial Black Metal. Post Apocalyptic music released “The Last Generation” in 2014. Styxian Industries has shared the stage with both Black Metal bands and Industrial acts like: Aborym, Black Crucifxion, Hanzel & Gretyl, Perturbator and Thornium.

BESTIAL DEFORM founded in summer of 1990 by Kirill Ulanenkov (guitar, vocals, lyrics). The impact on music format had the Florida death metal early '90s. From the outset, the group chose its own style - death metal. Firstborn appeared in early 1992, he was given the name of "Worship to madness". Circulation demo was released in the amount of 150 copies. Exactly one year later had a second kid, nasty and gloomy "Malebranche" (demo 1993). In it he revealed the whole essence and inner peace BESTIAL DEFORM. "Malebranche" became a hallmark of the group. During the subsequent time BESTIAL DEFORM is becoming one of the leading companies in Russia and CIS group on death metal scene. Band acts and touring relentlessly, especially successful concerts in Ukraine and Belarus. "Together we'll destroy the world" (MC 1994), written as usual in St. Petersburg on the Neva studio, she collected the best songs, loudly announcing himself among fans of death metal. Next out demo (1994) "The mystic". In this demo BESTIAL DEFORM presented new ideas, and they succeeded! This was a step towards the cult album "Bellum contra omnes" (1996). Over the years, the group becomes a professional, creativity and imagination of musicians have no borders. External influence a variety of styles does not change the first stone laid in the foundation of the kingdom of darkness, madness, and the unearthly hate. One steel bar, forged and tempered in the chaos of our world, not bent and bent ever! Hate theory goes side by side with the practice! In 1997, due to differences in BESTIAL DEFORM group suspended its activities, but two years later, in 1999, Kirill Ulanenkov typing a new line-up, once again revives the group. A number of concerts in St Petersburg, in Russia and Belarus reaffirmed itself! Work on the new album "The second coming" happens long and hard, and yet it leaves in 2004. Behind him, in the spring of 2005, the release of the single "We go to kill ...", a kind of prequel to the album "Stop the Christianity!" (2005). The album received very good grades and positive reviews in various publications. On two songs Jesus is Dead and Non-human Low shoot video clips. 2007 was marked by the release of the single dvuhpesennogo "Aut Caesar, aut nihil". In the entire history BESTIAL DEFORM played many concerts at various venues, performing at festivals, both local and international level. A large number of performances took place in the period from 2009 to the end of 2010. They were performing at festivals and concerts in Russia, Ukraine and Germany. The group shared the stage with bands such as: Behemoth (PL), Dead Infection (PL), Decapitated (PL), Vader (PL), Vesania (PL), Napalm Death (UK), Hypnoz (CZ), Fleshless (CZ), Deus Inversus (DE) and many others. In 2014 comes the next "cluster of dark energy" EP "Severed on pieces", which is a sort of preview of the new album, which is ready! Also in 2014 and 2015 have been re-released "Bellum contra omnes" and "Together we'll destroy the world", respectively. BESTIAL DEFORM not stands alone and is not trying to become a true icon in extreme music, and all the way to the selected group - only them, it is unique, isolated and there is no place for anyone. The Many Faces of the death machine that sweeps away everything in its path, and all! Battering ram, punching gates of consciousness! Catapult that carry the walls, exposing the flesh of cities and sensual creatures! Sadist, savoring of convulsions and agony.
