This one sounds promising to me. An Italian dude/ dudes from Demonomancy and a few other bands playing Greek sounding black metal. There's a Zemial cover on the demo and they would be the most glaring influence on the song that is streaming. Originality nil, perhaps, but for deadliness it sounds like they could be on the money.

This is fucking great stuff. The Greek influence is heavy but I definitely think there's enough variation here for it to stand out on its own. Definitely will pick up the EP. Reminds me of the Nachash 'Phantasmal Trinity' album from a few years ago.

They lifted a bit from Kings of a Stellar War, but sure... why not!

Maybe I've become more tolerant of new bands worshipping the classics...I keep going back to the Grenadier album which is better than the last Arghoslent LP.

I do draw the line at Hellbringer who just rearrange bits of Slayer songs and package it as an album though.

Yeah, that track is quality. It'll be interesting to hear how close the Zemial cover is to the original.
