Where are you from? What is your current occupation? Greetings. My name is Gediminas Kiaune of Manum Diabolus Art. I am from a small country and it is called Lithuania. At this moment, I am working as an freelance illustrator. 2) When did your interest in drawing begin? I had started to draw at the age of 10 years old. My talent was noticed by primary school teacher. 3) Looking at your artwork it seems black metal oriented, was there a point in time when that became your dominant form of art? If so, what band or artist inspired you first? My drawings are focused on the Black Metal music, but it's not a problem to draw for Death Metal etc. I started to draw on this topic recently. I am inspired by black metal groups as Nahash (Occult Black Metal from Lithuania) Deathspell ...

Biotoxic Warfare is a five piece band from Greece. Members are Mike-Vocals, George-Lead Guitars/Backing Vocals, Stelios-Rhythm Guitars, Panagiwtis PS-Bass, Orestis-Drums. Genre described as Thrash metal. Lobotomized album released on January 2015 Slaney Record. The release features eight songs. My first impression, the old school metal influence is evident from the opening track. Some of the bands that popped into my head as I listen to this release were, Death, Overkill, old Sepultura, Anthrax and D.R.I. Comparisons aside, the album progresses from thrash then into death metal realm as it reaches the end. The guitar solos are great. A lot of memorable melodies and structures. "Dysphoric Reality", is one of my favorite songs. On this particular track, the influence of the band Death and Slayer is very clear in the composition. The title song "Lobotomized", is another worth mentioning. It has a catchy acoustic twelve string guitar intro that stuck in my head. ...

Kneel Before None is a four piece band from Burns, TN. Members are, Jonathan Edwards-Vocals, Jake Davis-Guitar, Drew Owen-Guitar, David Smotherman-Bass, Ryan Warf-Drums. Genre described as death metal. Carnal Disfigurement album self released on September 30th 2014. The album contains eleven tracks. My first thoughts, brutal and completely devastating. After a short and eerie intro, the music comes in with relentless fury. A mix of high and low demonic vocals come through the speakers and are fitting with all the gore that is being projected. Not just grinds and heaviness, there is a good amount of technicality and melody which can be heard on tracks like Cannibalistic Abduction, A Disgorged Existence and Zombies Don't Say #YOLO. The production on the album is really good. Drums are intense and powerful, guitars have great distortion on both rhythm and solos. Bass is powerful and dominant. Some of the stand out tracks for me would have to be "Nyctophilia", I really...

Degenerhate is a five piece band from Italy. Members are, Gianluca Lucarini: lead guitar-screaming/backing vocals, Marco Paparella: bass guitar, Renato Lucandri: vocals/grunts, Stuart Franzoni: drums, Angelo Vernati: rhythm guitar. Genre described as Grindcore. Chronicles Of The Apocalypse album released on Sliptrick Records 2014. This album contains nineteen songs, my first impression, like a battering ram to the face. Extreme aggression comes purring through my speakers from the moment I hit the play button. Blistering grind/blast beats and raw guitar riffing coupled with low/high vocals will make your skin fall off. The songs are short but they deliver a punishing blow. Grind is the name of the game and that's exactly what they deliver. In terms of production, the quality is very good. The drums are solid and guitars had killer distortion along with a heavy bass tone to fill the ground level. It makes the walls crumble. There's a couple of samples like on the tracks Eart...

Toxoid is a band from India. Members are Adnan Khan - Lead Guitar/ Vocals, Sagar sidhanti - Drums, Paul Marandi - Bass, Angad Singh - Guitar. Genre described as Satanic Black Metal.  Aurora Satanae, album released on December 7th, 2014 Transcending Obscurity Distribution. Rising from the deep darkness of the abyss, this is a slab of sheer terror. Comprised of raw and relentless music to crush the senses. The album consist of six tracks. Pure malevolence thru every orifice. The title track Aurora Satanae hits high marks on my radar. Like the early days of Black Metal, blistering blast beats and demonic screams. Thy Infernal Defloration starts with a haunting melody, then melts the mind with unhinged black metal devastation. The production is not the best, but its dirty and harsh sound adds to the dark atmosphere being created. My final thoughts. the music is an intense and powerful projection of BM. Its raw quality only serves to add an extra dimension of horror to the alre...

Sepulchral Curse is a four piece death metal band from Finland. Members include Kari Kankaanpää - Vocals, Jaakko Riihimäki - Guitars, Tommi Ilmanen - Drums, Niilas Nissilä - Bass.  A Birth in Death album released on December 15th, 2014, Chaos & Hell Productions. Here we have four tracks from the great depths of hell. The vocals are pure demonic infestation. Low and destructive. There are high vocals as well which add a second dimension to the experience. Some of the bands that come to mind as I listen are, Suffocation, Entombed, Grave and Gorefest.  The whole thing is over rather quickly but the tracks are catchy enough to stick with you long after the EP is over. Songs like Demonic Pestilence are crushing and reflect the early dm style of the 90s. Torn to Shreds is another stand out and will make you want to punch things. I enjoyed the entire ride. The EP is powerful and will be a great addition to any metal fans library. ~Artemortifica facebook-SepulchralCurseDM ...
