[REVIEW] NECRODEITY - Death over Kalikshetra [2022] Death Oracle

Black Mary reviews the new Necrodeity live album, 'Death over Kalikshetra'.

Years ago, when I was a youngster looking for interesting things to stuff my ears with, I was an avid reader of musical magazines (back in the day when internet access was granted to a small group of people in the world) and reviews of live records were extremely rare, as editors mostly agreed live recordings present bands in the worst possible manner. Seemed weird at the time and now, years later, it seems completely idiotic. Live recordings present the band how the band actually sounds, without the polished production and the entire set up and all the fancy stuff a band is capable of putting on stage, to hide the fact that their sound is utter crap. In a live recording, you hear the artist / band as they straightforward are. You actually hear the band this way. The bands soul, if you will.

[REVIEW] VESTAL CUNTVOMIT – Slaughter for Satan - Demo [2022] Unpure Records

Most music genres strive to progress through its works and evolve into something even more
creative (and yes, some of them completely lose their way and just become absurd). The most vile combination of Black and Death Metal (known to elitists as 'War Metal') doesn't really give a flying fuck about it. (like it doesn't about most things). Even though War Metal began in the early nineties and a lot of the bands representing it have mellowed down since or just became too technical, there are certain hidden gems that keep the original flame going and still remain vile and interesting as much as the pioneers of the genre were. Vestal Cuntvomit from Australia are definitely one of the latter.
