Switzerland's Tardigrada have emerged as one of the leading purveyors of truly immersive, atmospheric extreme metal music. With members based in Basel and Zürich, the band's demo "Widrstand" provides a glimpse into the sonic seeds that would fully grow into their full-length releases.
On "Widrstand", Tardigrada presents a rawer sound that is no less capable of gripping listeners with its keen sense for melody than the band's more accomplished later works. Due to "Widrstand" no longer being available in its original, strictly limited release run, it is long overdue for a re-release. For this occasion, it will feature an additional song entitled "Leere" (which translates to "Emptiness").
Carefully re-mastered by Christoph Brandes of Iguana Studios, allowing for listeners to experience them in a new light, enhancing their original soundscape while retaining the original recordings' essence.
This old and rancid sabbatical articulation was consecrated in morbid malignancy through archaic incunabula vampyric texts and the twisted philosophical structure of vinegar blood, the cadaveric cauldron with which these texts are nourished and bathed and the vibrational current of cryptic music, is embraced under the temple of heresy regarding the visions and the reverse trance anointed in mortal blood on octingenti black candles, unbaptized opus that serve as a funerary reminder towards the pestilent and monumental orchestrations of the "Vampyric Arts of Putrefaction".
The bestiality and ferocity are translated into a fiery and black barbaric cadence that is robustly justified with the putrid gloomy emblem of a distant black church, an unbaptized fortress of agonizing mist and black pylons of catacombs and unclean spirits. Die Schattenfestung serves a single evil purpose which is reflected under octingenti black candles of a rotten and cadaverous sound rehearsal as an album of primordial force towards vampyric raw black metal.
Exhumed from sanguine sulfur necropolis by charnel smoke spell, Ecuador’s Wampyric Rites have been evoked once again for another masterclass in raw black metal orthodoxy, with their latest incantation, Summoning the Beasts in the Night of Lycanthropic Moon, being a four chapter grimoire slaked with the lunar thirst of the unquenchable bestial bloodlust. Woven with the prodigal power of wolven tapestry terror, Summoning the Beasts in the Night of Lycanthropic Moon, is awash with epic spell compositions, dungeon synth soliloquy, raging melancholic tremolo, rasping vocal lamentation, infectious percussive patterns, feral grimdark thematics, sorrow storm atmospherics and a full-bodied equilibrium of production putridity—one that mixes these alchemical elements together into true necromantic work of gilded sonic cruelty. Yet another stellar offering from one of South America’s most potent raw black metal cabals, Wampyric Rites have led another salacious audial assault upon the mortal realms, one that any acolyte of tomb cult reverie would be remiss to experience for themselves.

‘Ofidians Manifest’ represents Kampfar anno 2019. 25 years on from their foundation, only willing to release new music if they felt it would surpass all they had done before, it is a condensation of the immense struggles of the last few years. Everything that has been hidden behind the music and the live performances is laid bare, though told in the only way the band can portray themselves, through songs. It is immensely honest yet wrapped in their own folklore, the snake tongues splitting every truth into two deeper truths, every word sung dominated by the weight of all those sung before.
