FILII NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM To release "Hostia" LP on May
Fuck yeah, I love this band. I was anxiously waiting for the next stuff from the wild guys from FILII NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM.
"Hostia" is te title of the album, it will be released on may 25th, and it contains 11 tracks sung in portuguese (including the very cool and blasfemous intro "Prece"), and one track sung in english.
The album was in exclusive 66 hours streaming (until monday 12pm), and it shows the band´s full potential. FNI always played a blend of traditional, old school heavy metal and black metal, the official info from Osmose says that "Hostia" marks a return to agressive and unpolished blasphemy, and so it sounds!
Special mention to the cover artwork by Paolo Girardi, probably my fave among the broad work of this artist, the desing is the most appropiate for the music, attitude and impious expression of this portuguese band. Foda-se a virgen, caralho!
Presales open at Osmose Productions (here), available as black vinyl, white vinyl, jewelcase CD, digipack CD and tape.

NOCTURNUS AD Reveal demo track of upcoming album.
Awesome!, though I use to take the news about comebacks with certain skepticism. But listening to the new NOCTURNUS AD song it seems its going to be a good return. Here´s the new advance track of what it´s going to be the band´s debut album (under the name NOCTURNUS AD).
The band reveals that the music on the album will continue where "The Key" left of 28 years ago! Listening to "Aeon Of The Ancient Ones" (in a demo version, 1 of 4 songs that continue with "The Key" story) you can clearly perceive the vibe and influence of that masterpiece.
"The Lake of Fire/Standing in blood trilogy will be completed with a new track called "Seixing The Throne", and the Neolithic story will be continued with Paleolithic. So with that info and the new track we can say it looks really promising.
Hope the band keeps advancing new material on a regular basis, in the meantime..enjoy. Cult!!!

INTERVIEW with OBSCURE BURIAL
I
follow this finnish band since the release of their second demo
"Epiphany" from 2014. I was quite sure that it wont take
long for them to sign with a good label to release an ep or
full-lenght. Fortunately my predictions were right and they
released the powerful self-titled debut album through Invictus
Productions last year. I´m sure most of you had the pleasure
to get haunted by OBSCURE BURIAL´s old fashioned, tenebrous and violent
death metal. If you didn´t yet, press play below and read the
following interview answered by LK (Guitars/Vocals). Darkness
Spawns...
To start in a classic way, please tell us about the origins of the band, How did the band form, how did all the members met and how were the early rehearsals.
Projects, alcohol fumed nights, session work - that’s what forged us. Quite the ordinary one could say. First rehearsals emerged April 2012, and pawned way for clear target - what to become with the entity called OBSCURE BURIAL.
The name had been there for few years already before formation, and it was the one that standed out of all other new suggestions. Starless grave beyond, deity, Death fumes.
You are
probably eager to talk about the debut album that you just recently released,
how are your feelings now the album is out. What can you tell us about the
recording process? How has the response been so far…
"Obscure Burial" was recorded live at studio that had mostly done hc punk previously. Knowing the engineer well before, we knew he understood the raw and aggressive sound that we were after. Response, deadly.

The artwork
looks intriguing and mysterious, please tell us about the idea, the concept and
the author.
MH (Lead guitars) crafted the basic idea for the cover. To put it shortly, emanation into Darkness. It was perfected by Jose Alegria Sabogal, one of the most talented artists there currently is in metal artworks. Precise biblical details are just divine on his works.
Several old
demo tracks were included on the album, what can you tell about those songs, do
the versions of the album sound the same or do they approximate the way you
imagined them when you wrote them?

Those songs had lived life of their own, and we felt that they needed to be
perfected better. By the time of the recording of the first demo, we really
hadn’t put out all the details into them, as they’re now.
About your
lyrics, is there an overall theme to the songs on the album, or do they each
discuss different topics? Tell me about “Lucilia Silvarum” and “I Spoke to
darkness”
There is no one theme on the album. Lucilia is about being born out of the lifeless corpse, thus growing into the black sea of swarms. I spoke is about stygian rites to become one with Lucifer.

Can you name
an album in which the concept or the lyrics marked you, or that you thought
were very important?
Authors and poets are more to inspire us as lyricists.

In January 2016 we fired out bassist MF, and worked while with session bassist for gigs, until RA joined spring ‘16. No other changes has been made.
In terms of
evolution of your music, will the new songs change from now on? Are you willing
to try different things regarding sound and structures?
Progression in inevitable part of the writer, hence we aim to create different sounds and rhythms. We do not limit ourselves.

Tell us about
your musical influences, what bands inspired you to form the band and to play
this music? Is there any classic old school finish band among your influences?
Of course the classic 80’s Death Metal classic albums and demos did inspire us a lot in beginning, and still does, but we move on different things to keep things fresh.

What´s your
view about the current finish scene?Nothing to mention. Dead. Buried.
Besides
music, what kind of topics discuss and have interest as a band? i.e. about
other forms of art, philosophy…
We all have big variety of interests, that is too vast topic to mention, and too personal.

Invictus
productions distributed both of your demos and now released the LP, how is your
relationship with them? If I´m not wrong the vinyl version of the album will
come out in March, (actually it is out right now- Chris) will it include anything different from the cd version?
Great! Invictus is one of the best labels out there, Metal label to heart. Obsessed by Cruelty! No, both are same, no special treatment for either.

Tell us about
your shows, with which band have you played so far, which band(s) impressed you
the most? Do you have any weird anecdote to share?
We’ve played roughly 20-30 shows, and the list keeps growing. Nothing special to mention, as we’ve played with hc punks to black metal bands in many occasions. And crossed many great and violent personalities. Our shows are fast, ripping, aggressive as proper Death Metal is supposed to be.

Which bands /
albums are you listening today?
Currently on rotation has been various Depeche Mode material, and new Morbid Angel “Kingdoms Disdained”.

Well, there has been many dark and fucked up places but one worth to mention is the place where Necrophagous Ritual intro was field recorded. Empty gas ball storage, with most twisted natural echo.
What can we
expect from OBSCURE BURIAL the current year? What are the band´s future plans?
We’ll start slowly working second album, and just rip through more rapid shows.

The first track unveiled is "The Whore Of Salem"; the band shared some words regarding the song: "The Whore Of Salem is the opening track. We have chosen this one, because from the beginning, it shows a declared return to the roots of our sound.

All is seen under an allegorical interpretation, comparing the "keyboard warriors" to the Salem trial inquisitors".
