Deviator - Way Of Warriors - Hymn To Immortals - Best of Comp.

This is a compilation album consisting of songs from the time period of 2007 and 2010. A one man band that is Lord Hastner - guitars, voices; occasional drums & keyboards programming and some remastered by Mictan on "Estrangement demo 2008. The project is describe as atmospheric black/ epic Death Metal. Old Melancholy is the opening track, keyboards with an enchanting captivating melody which I enjoy right away. Forgotten Hope, the drums sound really good considering they are programmed. an enjoyable song with interesting riffs. "The Last Day of Mankind", a thunderous opening- battle like drums great track. "Mighty Black Inner Flame", tranquil and melodic keys lead us into this song and aggressive BM onslaught. Mesmerized By Blood, howling wolfs take up a backing on this song like pack of mad wolfs in a winter's fury. Raw Symphony of Sorrow, somewhat repetitive opening in a mid pace riff. Undying Darkness, spoken word in BM style of singing, the drums and guitar do not match very well on this track. To Forgotten Path Triumph of the Will, bass line is great not sure what to think of the rhythm section until there is a change up. Thy Blood in My Veins, very raw guitar sound and scattered beats. Black Sorrow, an epic type of atmosphere building. A dark tale unfolding, haunting samples, an eerie journey. Funeral Future Bells, a well executed composition and the title is fitting. Primordial Darkness part 1, this track is nine minutes long and is pretty much all the elements that are contained in the entire album through out.
Primordial Darkness part 2, has another epic and haunting start- a great way to lead us on another chaotic aventure. This one only an instrumental and guitars have a fuller distorted sound. The last is the title track and also an instrumental, we hear a better distorted and fuller bass sound on this song. Overall a good album for those seeking raw BM/atmospheric haunting music this album is worth a spin.

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.
