On their side of this split 7" HEBV play their new song "Call". Nuit Noire is an underground cult (one-man)band from France, which released several records in the last years.

Great stuff! TEMPLE OF BAAL / AOSOTH (FRA) - SPLIT, 7", 6euro/50sek Two of the strongest BLACK Metal bands from France at this moment. Temple of Baal plays devoted Satanic Black Metal with a touch of melody and Aosoth is full on violent Black Metal with a thrashier edge to it. Imagine Craft cross-breeding with Hell Militia and Aosoth would be the foul bastard child of these two bands. MkM of Antaeus has given birth to AOSOTH which also speaks for the dedication that is lurking behind this horde. Import from France. TENEBRAE IN PERPETUUM / CHELMNO / NEAR / LORN (ITA) - SPLIT, 7", 6euro/50sek "From the ancient dolomitic forests". Brand new 4 way split Ep between some of the best italian hordes!

VERVIVALA (FIN) / THE SHADOW ORDER (GRE), 7", 7euro/60sek Interesting concept behind this. Verivala has written music and lyrics for one track, and then T.S.O has sung on it. And vice versa! Great idea. I think Ad Hominem and Ornaments of Sin did something exactly like this on a split?! Any ways, good musical efforts from both sides. Released through the die hard label Obscure Abhorence. Can this label do something wrong? I think not. VORDR (FIN) / ÖDELEGGER (GER) - SPLIT, 7", 7euro/60sek This is for sure two bands that fits perfectly on a split. Both bands are primitive to the core! I think Vordr is one of those bands who really enjoys and feels at home with their primitive form of Black Metal, it doesn't feels forced it comes out natural and that's what I truely love about this band. Ödelegger is ultra-distorted fuzzy noisy BLACK METAL, out of control I would say, but very enjoyable none the less! Be sure to check this one out, both bands complement each other perfectely. WITHER (AUS) - S/T, 6euro/50sek Experience the haunting presence of Wither. Bleak and Depressive Black Funeral Doom with an unique atmosphere and distinguished Ambience.

YERSINIA / TOTAL HATE (GER) - SPLIT, 7", 7euro/60sek Seems like splits are coming from every corner of the underground these days, well it's nothing new that bands are doing splits, I just think I see more splits these days then I have done during the last five years or so. Nothing bad in that naturally, it's a good way to check out bands. And for some reason bands usually has better material for their splits then on their full-lengthers. Total Hate is one truely great band, being created by one of the members of Seeds of Hate and performing a style of truely evil sounding Black Metal, with that perfect raspy vocal approach. I like the honest approach of this band. Yersinia was news to me, great Black Metal here too, and I do for sure look forward to see what this band will come up with later on. Only fucked up thing is that the inlay doesn't fit into the vinyl sleeve hah, and the vinyl hardly fit in their either, a fuck up from the label I guess... A small nitpick though. Get this one, it's a worthy addition to your stagnated vinyl collection!
