Looking forward more and more to the coming fourth full-length of The Furor, which is titled Impending Revelation. Insane Australian black/ death metal, raw, technical and blasphemous. All instruments and vocals were done by mainman Rando this time (monstrous drummer from Impiety, Malignant Monster, Mhorgl and previously Nervecell), and although he doesn't have a full-time guitarist in the band any more (and guitars aren't what most know him for) his solos on the tracks available on Youtube are ripping.

I enjoy the previous albums by The Furor, albeit not as much as Mhorgl's Heresiarch album, but this sounds like it could be the best and most bestial yet by the band.

Never really checked out Furor inspite of knowing of Rando's project for quite sometime. I'll listen to that track now. Rando is an insane drummer and I've had the good fortune of seeing him play drums with Nervecell several times (5-6 times I think) and also with Impiety.

Cool, I wasn't aware of that band. The logo-style looks very familiar though. Will check out the album and also read your review Thanks!

I haven't been able to stop listening to the new Boris the Blade tracks for the better part of the last week. They're easily one of the most competent deathcore acts out there right now, and big surprise, they're from Australia.

Boris the Blade? As in, Boris the bullet dodger?

Apparently their name's taken from the movie Snatch, never seen it, but a google search has informed of this.

I always got the impression it was like those "Oceans" movies, I tried watching one of those one time and fell asleep halfway through

We don't hear too many straight up black metal bands these days

Blood of the Nations and Stalingrad can't touch their 80s classics, but they're both good. The cover on this one is fucking badass.

Their 80's stuff is massively influential no doubt but personally I think Blood of the Nations is their most complete work to date. Stalingrad is also good but it's a notch below of its predecessor.

Coprocephalic.

NEW ALBUM PROGRESS: Here are a few tidbits to keep you all up to date on what we're doing. We are currently in the writing phase for our next album. The music for about 6 brand new songs is complete or very close. Lyrics and vocals to 2 songs are finished and more coming soon. The album will have 7 to 8 songs total. 5 songs have titles so far and we have chosen the album title which we'll reveal a little closer to the release. We are on target to finally get our asses into the studio this summer. The album is slated to be released in early 2015 by Relapse Records. If I had to describe the music at this stage I'd say it's most similar to "Trample The Weak..." but darker and little more melodic(in a doomy way) and with guitar solos. Vocals are reminiscent of the first 2 Skinless albums. Here's a video of us playing one of the new songs back in January. This was the first new song we finished.

Currently I'm looking forward to the new Opium Warlords album "Taste My Sword of Understanding" that is scheduled for release in May. Sure took a long time for Albert to get these songs recorded and released, because I remember him talking about the material years ago on the Hellride forums. Cover art looks like something Kimi Kärki would have used for Orne. That's cool. Alright, bring it, let me taste that sword. I'm sure it will wear the stamp of Albert's usual demented weirdness that is somehow very appealing, at least to me.
