Being a huge fan of Order from Chaos, I was really excited to hear of Keraphorus which features none other than Pete Helmkamp. Not to mention other members from Angelcorpse and Morbosidad.
Do yourself a favor and buy the new Deathspell LP, sounds really promising. Here's the new track called Devouring Famine. They have now signed with Seasons of Mist and this is the final record in their trilogy. And for the few of you who haven't heard Deathspell I'm putting up Manifestations which is a collection of early works to get you started.
Further proof that America has some really good BM bands.. confused as to why most of them are out of California though. Either way this is Ashdautas who blew me away when I saw them in Philly with Volahn (also the singer and guitarist) and Bone Awl. It's just what you're expecting in the black metal category except for the ghoulish screams reminiscent of older Burzum.
Flowing black metal from Poland evil and angry with pretty decent production, and apparently pronounced 'mgwah'. Thanks Metal Archives for more useless info that I will never be able to get rid of.
