SolaceCD061 – Warrior's Chalice/Von
Hexe/Lord Foul “Ritu Evocatis De Arianorum Satanae Non Trinitatis”
As the erratic pace of splits and compilation released in the
past months by Winter Solace Productions winds down to it's
spectacular conclusion, the end never looks like the beginning.
Rarely does Winter Solace release anything in the realm of
traditional black metal, however every now again everything spins
back to the where for many of us, this all began. Warrior's Chalice,
Von Hexe and Lord Foul are three bands where the ideology is more
rooted in Satanism, Darkness and Fire then the usual WS themes.
Ritual Invocation of the Arian Satanic Non-Trinity stands as a
bulwark against the globalist corrupted religious institutions and
weaponized illusion known as the Abrahamic religions. Evoking heavy
metal Satanism and ominous Luciferian rituals with black robed
figures, this is a side of Winter Solace productions which is rarely
seen.
Warrior's Chalice carry the old flame of USBM, similar
to Lord of Depression, Acheron, Ceremony, Wind of the Black Mountains
and Ritual. There previous demo tape “The Ungrateful Blessing”
featured a full display of music highly influenced by the Greek sound
of Necromantia and Rotting Christ, however this new session seems to
flesh that out and firmly roots the bands sound back in the realm of
Blackened/Heavy metal. Clean vocals, intricate guitar solos and
lively music showcase the real origins of the American Black Metal
scene, back to days of Morrisound Recording in sunny Florida,
something simply gone from the music scene here today.
Von
Hexe is a vehicle for the main solo work of M Ahrin V Past (Malefice,
Celtic Dance, Graveland and Muruth) playing traditional Italian black
metal. While the musical exploits of M Ahrin range from numerous
different collaborations with Toby Kanpp to session work as a live
drummer at various Italian concerts, his solo works are usually never
noticed, relegated to micro-pressings and online releases. The tracks
here are the follow up to the Ord-O album (still in limited stock on
tape here) and show case a darker more dungeon like style of Italian
Black Metal similar to Winged. Portions of this were released on the
now sold out split tape “Metaphysics of Will” split tape,
released in 2019 by Winter Solace.
Lord Foul from Brazil conclude the
split with their first new session of material since 2013. Known for
playing “RAW BLACK METAL” similar to Sovereign, Warloghe, Haat,
Funereal Moon, 1389 and Winterkriege this is the ancient sound of
Brazil at it finest. Dark, ominous yet maniacal vocals are
complemented by a fury of percussion and slow brooding riffs with
proper yet raw production to enhance the atmosphere. As the music of
this band slowly takes root, many of the new consumers of this labels
releases (who were not around when WS began in 2008) will see the
sound that was the foundation for the label today, as Lord Foul holds
the distinction of being the longest running member of the Winter
Solace roster, with the first release being in 2009.
This CD
is limited to 200 units, almost half of which are gone to
distribution agreements and band royalties.
