Fiends At Feast - Towards the Baphomet's Throne

This is a five piece BM band from South bay area town of Santa Cruz, CA. The album cover is simple and embellishes the style of the compositions. Formed in 2008 and have an EP "Shadows of Extinction" in 2011. This new album is released by HPGD. We start of with a hellish intro leading us into the first track "After the gates of Hell" the raw BM style is evident from the first riff. With Blood and Vomit, some good harmonies on the guitars for this track and some interesting solos. I Am Death, I hear some interesting bass lines on this particular song. Walls of Worship, sick and shrieking vocals envelope chant like chords feeling the darkness of this track. From hell they Rise is probably my favorite track on this album it kind of reminds me of early Samael or Bathory, haunting and depressing guitar licks make this one to be remembered. A Despondent Theme to My Own Demise, well this was a very nice surprise, some good guitar melodies bring you to a dark catacomb in hell, very interesting to have this as part of the entire composition which also shows that they can achieve other musical compositions. Profecia Negra, spanish for Black Prophecy, this is song is good to headbang to, its got some fast and brutal riffs. Cold Grey Sky, is the last track, overall a very good BM experience, considering they are fairly new, I look forward to what they create in the future. I highly recommend this album for fans of old school style of BM and there is much to explore in Fiends At feast.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
