about

In 1991, in the city of Katowice (Upper Silesia, Poland), Flauros and Cymeris started a band called Dissolution. The term ‘black metal’ was only known in Poland at the time as something having to do with Venom records. The two teenagers, fascinated with the left hand path, were fanatics of Kat [The Executioner] (a Polish old school trash metal band); they also unceasingly listened to vinyls of Bathory, Celtic Frost, Entombed and the aforesaid Brits. The music of Dissolution was made then on a wheezy guitar and a poor 5-watt amplifier. It was a combination of middle-tempo death metal, coarse and repetitive riffs and dreadful lyrics. The band did a few local gigs, among which those played as a support of the Polish Pandemonium, the Swedish Liers in Wait and Vader.

A year later those two friends got deeper into black metal and Dissolution became memory. In 1994 Mastiphal released their first demo entitled “Sowing Profane Seed”. The line-up was : Flauros (vocal), Cymeris (guitar) Abigor (bass), Desecrator (keyboards) and Sarcueil (drums). The band managed to build a strong position on the thriving underground scene. “Sowing Profane Seed” quickly gained recognition among black metalheads. Unlike loads of bands slavishly imitating the Norwegian hords, Mastiphal was distinguished by their harmonious arrangements and elaborate guitar riffs. The band used keyboards – definitely not a classical black metal weapon at the time. Along with Christ Agony, Graveland and Behemoth (just starting out on their career then) Mastiphal became one of the most promising bands of the Polish black metal scene. “For a Glory of All Evil Spirits, Rise for Victory” was recorded and released in 1995. Sammach replaced Desecrator on keyboards. A year later, the album was released by Nocturn Records (Holland) which, unfortunately, ended its existence a couple of months later. Undoubtedly, For a Glory… was a continuation of the style that the band had chosen on the demo. Arrangements were more melodic and keyboards more and more persistent. Unforunately. soon after Flauros and Cymeris failed to reach a musical compromise and with time their paths diverged. The last records by Mastiphal included a compilation Seed of Victory, released by the Vox Mortiis in 1998 and ‘Mag-Sex’, a cover from the Kat repertoire.

Ten years later it can be finally announced – Mastiphal is back! “Damnation Memoriae is a luxury double digipack with all recordings of Mastiphal. After you refresh your memory with their outstanding legacy – you can expect new album which will be released in 2010!!!

wild years of remorse and failures

wild years of remorse and failures est un office des ténèbres moderne : à la place des lumières qui s'éteignent au fur et à mesure, ce sont les instruments qui disparaissent et le fait que ce soit une compilation des deux premiers albums de stroszek le met encore plus en évidence. les guitares électriques s'évanouissent, les samples se raréfient, la batterie se calme et la folk s'engage toujours plus dans la voie acoustique. même la voix se fait plus fatiguée, spectrale. beau et hypnotique.

Descending Further into Nothingness
by Exiled From Light

Après un Through Twilight... passable, Mort crée Descending Further into Nothingness sous le patronyme d'Exiled from Light, un album de DSBM lancinant aux atmosphères spectrales bien meilleur. Malgré tout, le démon de la stagnation continue de le harceler : la batterie est le grand point fort mais certains schémas se répètent et, couplés aux riffs minimalistes, ils empêchent certaines pistes de se distinguer l'une de l'autre. Le début est un peu long mais cet album en vaut vraiment la peine ! Jordan Vauvert
