REACTOR released one demo in 1991 titled ' The Tribunal From Above' .REACTOR played many shows in the early 90?s with bands such as Massacre, Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, Running Wild, Bioharard, Kreator? Better than their work in Sickening Gore, Reactor was a progressive death metal unit that on The Tribunal Above displayed great potential. Much more melodic and outgoing then what they would become, Reactor was a truly original presence on the old school death metal scene, combining aggression, melody and unique atmospheres. Listening to this almost makes you wish they stuck with this style. The demo clocks in at over 32 minutes in 5 songs

The third album by the enigmatic Old Tower titled “The Last Eidolon” tells a sombre story of a kingdom laid to waste by its own creator through the corruption of dark magic and possession of destructive spirits. Because of wrongful decisions, spiritual rebellion and the misuse of ancient yet dangerous practices these malevolent forces started to turn against the enchanter. And so fell his once proud and powerful dominion. What was once great has now been reduced to a hollow manifestation of its old self. The long and weary process of reclaiming its former glory has begun...

Throughout the “Grim Alchemy” trilogy, smithed in conspiracy with the mighty Hospital Productions, The Specter meticulously crafted his own style of medieval dark ambient. “The Last Eidolon” is an elongation but also a new direction of this concept and will take the listener on a desolate journey spanning three, long chapters. Faded memories of a dark past will shimmer in and out of existence throughout these epic compositions yet the energy of renewal is flowing from the fountains of the old kingdom.
 

While the fury of Vaal is still present, the focus has shifted towards a more melancholic and atmospheric approach. Return to times long forgotten, through visions of the hidden land.

The Ruins of Beverast's Exuvia is a dark and twisted slab of black/doom metal that calls forth ancient spirits to cleanse the Earth of its filth.

It will take you quite a while, to explore the whole album in detail.
With every listening you will find something new and this is it, what makes the album to the strongest release of the band up to now.

Lathspell sounds somewhat typically Scandinavian, ranging from Norway’s Gorgoroth to Sweden’s Watain and latter Marduk efforts, with the eerie atmosphere of Ondskapt. All while still retaining the aggression of France’s Antaeus and a somewhat Australian grandeur to its blasphemy. the list could go on and on with different comparisons, ‘cause "impious incantations” isn’t unique; but it’s still damn good.
These Finnish lads surpass their predecessors in constant quality.
