Conceived By Hate - Putrid Realms Of The Occult (Satanath) Review by Steve Thomas-Green I’m going through the latest batch of promos from Russian label, Satanath Records and it seems they are signing a lot of bands from Central America, as this an Old School Death metal band from El Salvador and I’ve already seen releases from Costa Rica and Cuba in my promo pile. Here we have Conceived By Hate, who have gone from a full band, to a one man project, although a real drummer helps out for the recording, which is a very smart move. The order of the day here, is Brutal Death, with a barrage of drumming that slays everything in its way. And although musically, this is Death Metal, the vocals are a bit on the high pitched side, in a brutal kind of way (not like Power Metal), so flipping this over to a more Black Metal sound, wouldn’t need a lot of adjustment, such is the blurring of the lines on this release. Again, as with a lot of the promos I’ve received from the label, the sound quality exceeds what I was expec�ng as does the quality of the music. And I par�cularly like the more intense moments, like on Centroamerica Belica, which is just a full-on assault, yet it s�ll retains enough melody to keep this accessible, to my poor, damaged ears. Impressive. h�ps://www.facebook.com/satanath666/ Deathnoisefrequency - Horrid Dirge (Self-Release) Review by Sam Thomas Saudi Arabian duo, Deathnoisefrequency have an EP, Horrid Dirge, to delight/torment your ears. I’d take excep�on to the �tle as it’s not horrid. But it is definitely funereal, both in pacing and in the way that there is an overlaid declama�on. It’s a bit like Hawkwind, but also the music has elements of early black metal (I’m thinking par�cularly of Burzum). The vocal (English) theme is of suffering, loss, darkness and despair. There’s also an element of noise to this, which adds a dimension of creepiness and has you straining your ears to make sense of it all. It’s not an easy listen, but it’s worth a go as it has been very well done. I really appreciated it (enjoyed isn’t the right word) and look forward to the full release hopefully later this year. h�ps://www.facebook.com/Deathnoisefrequency/
