 Haren

“Antisocial”

(Mendeku Diskak, 2024)

I could have written this review in Spanish, right? It would be more "precise", however, nor Spanish nor Portuguese are easily “shareable languages” on social media and internet, so let us lean into our dear, and always present, English language.

Haren is a Spanish all-female trio from Murcia, and 2022 was their year. A 5-track Demo came out, and it just blew up. Haren’s Punk sound is a very simple and straight to the point music. No gimmicks, no fuck around, just Punk and Anarchy. The subject? I hear violence in their voices and lyrics, and I get it. The World is shit, why should we not spread the word about it? And it is sung in Spanish, which I love. Some of my go-to Punk albums, and bands, are from the Spanish geography (Eskorbuto and RIP, for example), and there is this special thing about the dialect that fits Punk Rock music.

Fast forward to 2024, and Mendeku Diskak, a brilliant label from Euskal Herria, releases the band’s 2nd Demo, “Antisocial”, and you got it, the subject is more or less the same: I want to see the World burn and you all suck. Again, I could not agree more. Musically speaking, the girls gift us with more of the same, which is what we bloody want!

5 tracks of Anarcho/Anti-Militarian Punk Music, expressive as Hell! I liked it, you will too, otherwise you support NATO and Israel. It is up to you to not be a prick! Punk on!

Invicta Reqviem Mass Seventh Gathering Well, hello there. Getting close to this year’s finest UG Black Metal gathering, are we? Oh yes, we are! I was quite curious about who would the lads in Signal Rex select for their 7 th Black Mass, and what a nice bill it say, I say. 15 bands will join forces in one of Portugal’s most beautiful, and Black Metal, cities. Porto, Cidade Invicta, will once again receive the label’s annual Black Metal gathering, and let us go through the bands that will be performing. While there is still not a daily line-up, let us almost alphabetically stroll down the corridor and look at newcomers and artists that will be repeating their attendance. So here we go! Starting off with an act composed of musicians from different geographic locations, Burial Moon . Austria, Estonia, and Switzerland, perhaps? If I may be honest, their location is what less interesses me. Musically speaking this is straightforward Signal Rex Black Metal. The hypnotic side of t

  Marthe “Further in Evil” (Southern Lord, 2023) I was completely unaware of the existence of this project, and only today stumbled upon it while scrolling on a very famous Black Metal group on Facebook. While reading the description of a photo, I saw The Devil’s Blood and Mediterranean Heavy Metal influences mentioned, as well as Antifascism and Italy. Scrolled down a bit more and read Bathory. Went straight to YouTube and added Tiamat, “Clouds” era (vocals at times), to it. It might sound a bit strange and misplaced, but let me tell you: it bloody works. Marthe is composed of one single musician, Marziona Silvani – stage/artist name, Marzia – and she has been around for some time. From what I understood, Marthe started out while Marzia was still rocking the drums in Ancient Cult, an Italian Heavy Doom band that since then closed the doors on existence. That gave way for Marzia to move forward and blast it all out with Marthe! Marthe is a very curious entity. Sound-wise, it ha

  Infernal Angels “Shrine of Black Fire” (Immortal Frost Productions, 2023) 2023 has been, so far – and we are almost done with the year – a splendid year for Black Metal. Strangely enough I have been focusing more on bands and albums that have a deliberate melodic approach to the sound, rather than going for the Raw Black Metal acts. Not that we do not have been infernally blessed with exquisite works of Art, but the well-produced records have been calling for me, and I have answered the call. Immortal Frost is a bit to blame for that. Surtur has released, so far, at least 2 records I believe will be considered some of the best I had the pleasure to listen to this year: Infinity’s “The Untamed Hunger” and Deadspace’s “Unveiling the Palest Truth”; an honorable mention to Azaghal’s “Alttarimme on Luista Tehty”, that shows a band still pushing hard! The label’s latest release is Infernal Angel’s “Shrine of the Black Fire”, and we’ll jump right into the fire to see what we got here!
