Title: Black Candle Wax
Post by: Eoin McLove on February 02, 2021, 10:26:45 PM
Really cool stuff here from the US. It's raw as Hell with gnarly distorted bass and prominent keyboards, and reminiscent of the likes of Forbidden Temple, Perverted Ceremony, Moenen of Xezbeth, Ride for Revenge etc. As such it's nasty sounding but sort of catchy and epic. Check it out if those other bands appeal to you.

This is class, cheers for the tip. Distorted bass and keys sound great and the name is cool.

A song from another EP that has been released in conjunction. Less epic,  more gnarly.

They have a couple of earlier demos and a full length too.

That sounds weird as fuck. I normally would not like this but there's something really catchy about it. The first song you posted sounds really familiar. Like I've heard that melody in a classical song or something. Must check out the full length.

Both tunes sound deadly. Artwork is great as well.

This is rather tasty, completely new to these ears.

Have last year's demo on now. More the Droll Meadow style of artwork I'd expect on that. Sounds like the kettle is boiling.

Listening to Bloodbat Mystic here now. I think the band are starting to really develop a unique style by comparison with the earlier demos. I like the raw production of course but there's also creativity in the playing.

Cinderlands on now. We are immediately into more wonky and epic territory. Killer stuff.

Trying to get them into the next zine for a few words. Awaiting a response atm.

It's the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire theme :abbath:.

They do sound really cool though, must check out more of their stuff.

A new song from a forthcoming album. Sounds good to me. Those keyboards are perfect.

Love the sound of that. That spacey organ sounds class.
