IN THA UMBRA - THUS OPEN THINE EERIE WINGS LIKE AN EAGLE AND SOAR THE WINDS OF CHAOSYeah, I tried saying that five time fast and nearly passed the fuck out. Something just isn't right with these guys. I mean, you'd have to be pretty damn nutso to come up with an album title such as that. What, and these guys claim at all to be sane? I don't buy it. You'd expect some more black metal of the kookie-kutter-kind, but instead end up with something just plain kookie. I don't think these guys left any stone unturned or any bridge uncrossed. Seriously, who sits and thinks to mix death and black in with some rock and some prog and some female vocals and a whole of of just plain weirdness? Evidently these guys do. And with balls as big as theirs, you can make a sure bet the pull it off well. It's in rare form when so many conflicting elements mesh together so well. Thank hell for small favors like In tha Umbra! (FA)

ARGHOSLENT - HORNETS OF THE POGROM
I always tend to think of a Mark Twain story gone horribly awry when I think about these guys. It's not as if I really could explain it, what with them singing about empires rising and falling, the Atlantic slave trade, colonialism, and all other ills and evil of history you could imagine. Arghoslent probably has more chips on their should than the guy sitting in front of me at the ball park, and that's exactly how they like it. Remorseless, sadistic death metal with no apologies to anyone or anything. They've been in the game a while, long enough to see the history the sings about come and go with many other things underground. I'm sure by now their main interests are bashing as many skulls as possible and leaving nothing but ashes in their wake. If such is in the case, may you live 100 more years! (FA)
